That's an easy one. Just add Carver to the George Washington schools.

The halfway reasonable sounding argument is that it was less people voting for Biden, and more them voting against Trump.

That said, this kind of apathy doesn't win elections. You'd think people would be tuning in, if for no other reason than to spite Trump supporters. If merely clicking a YouTube video is too much effort....

And it doesn't seem to be selling that well either.

It's almost like when you take a product with a niche, but loyal fanbase and edit it for mass appeal, you end up turning off both the original fans and the normies who didn't care in the first place.

Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. Reboot Fenton has a new latina girlfriend. His original girlfriend becomes a villain who tries to seduce him for the Gizmosuit tech. Because when you're an attractive woman from an old cartoon, furry or otherwise, you either have to be removed to vilified.

Used to be Fenton Crackshell was a white-feathered duck like Donald and Uncle Scrooge, etc. He was neurotic, a bit dimwitted, and had an overbearing mother, but he was also a savant at counting, which is what earned him the job with Scrooge that then led to him becoming Gizmoduck. After gaining confidence, he asked out his crush, who was already interested in him before. He just needed the self confidence the adventures with Scrooge gave him to make the first move.

The reboot redesigns him (Though not the Gizmosuit, interestingly. Another red flag.) to be a brown duck that looks nothing like his original design. The creators went out of their way to advertise "HE'S LATINO NOW!" and of course, being a minority, he couldn't possibly be a neurotic dimwit who'd manage to come through in the end. Now he starts out with a hot girlfriend instead of growing as a character. Beyond that, I don't know. I stopped watching the reboot before they properly introduced him because the red flags and insufferable retooled character personalities were turning me off hard. They added/changed a lot of characters to be differently colored birds to the show in the name of diversity. And while I'm a fan of visual diversity in character design, the reasons they were doing it were pretty suspect. Heck, they added a crow girl character who was obviously intended to be "black coded." That's pretty rich coming from Disney and their cartoon crow controversy.

That's why they've started this "coded" nonsense. "Oh, this character is gay/black/trans/etc because they fit the stereotype!" It's such a bigoted mindset, but they brush it off, because it's in their favor.

One of the things that turned me off the Ducktales reboot was how they toyed with the "races" of characters like Fenton and Goslyn. I didn't like Fenton as a kid because he was "white." I liked him because he was a goofy loser who proved he had value with or without the Gizmoduck suit. That's relatable to anyone, and putting the focus instead on race in a show about anthropomorphic waterfowl shows what the writers really care about.

It's fascinating. Some of my favorite characters have been like me in appearance and personality. But a lot of what I find appealing about them are their flaws (That I also share) and the struggle of how they either overcome them or figure out how to put them to their advantage. It gives me hope that I too can one day become a better me.

These people want perfect characters that look and act like them so they can feed their delusion that they too are already perfect.

Why, though? Bread and Circuses only works when there's bread to eat and circuses to watch.

Seeing series I love slide into a pit of mediocrity while "fans" cheer them on drives me up the wall. Nintendo has become the Disney of gaming.

From what I've heard, it looks like they were trying to pull a "Kirby" with this game. Have a pleasant setting with a surprisingly creepy final boss/scenario. The difference is that Kirby's world IS unironically sweet and innocent, which is what makes the contrast with the dark invaders so compelling. Here, it seems that despite the goofy muppets and food creatures, the writers couldn't avoid filling their world with a deep, adult cynicism that brings down the whole experience even before the big reveal.

Christianity used to be infested with the same kind of rot we're seeing in the Left now, back when it held respect and power in the country.

I enjoyed it early on, but the constant Mabel praise and Dipper demeaning made it clear where the show's bread was buttered.

I love the idea that it has to be one big overarching conspiracy, and it can't just be a bunch of individual useful idiots adding up.

And Rocket Knight Adventures. Poor Sparkster has one utter masterpiece and three games ranging from okay to terrible under his belt....
