did i ever get around to mentioning that my least favourite era of tf cartoons (2010-2017, all technically in the same 'continuity' even though. their obviously not actually. and also. that real bad comics lore) there is so much messaging around the idea that like "you need to stick up for yourself" but it will always be completely encounter to the way everyone acts, the meanness of the humour used, and that like... you have to stick up for yourself! against your direct superiors! no they are NOT beholden to you 'sticking up for yourself' and have no particular method of account. You just! Have to! and once you do! they will, ofc, due to their good nature, realise the error of their ways and redress.... i mean. maybe. at least until next episode?

do i think this has ANYTHING to do with how propagandist each show is regards to... the government, the military, police or even yeah religion, and or how they characterize their settings with having NO tf civilians/non combatants.... WELL.

#some shit #its not called cisformers #this era being sandwiched between the show that said oh the good guys govt is act like. a military propagandist state and antagonist force #[common animated w]#and the show thats like. why the war started is unclear but these ppl use to be friends and civilians but the complex relations between #warring factions makes actions reverbate like dominoes thus reestablishing peace is very hard for material practical reasons #[beloved CV narrative focus]#WELL #did think of this cause of an actually poignant real world post whoops #2010-2017 era shows ofc being. the edgy one. the preschool ones. and the copaganda one <- my favourite of the lot. believe it or not.#this is less moral outrage that THE KIDS MEDIA ISNT teaching good lessons and more like. how put. lacking both the emotional depth #to do actually good moralizing. OR the sophistication to just. have fucked up shit happen and like. damn. thats fucked up.#which again. is less caused because of the media and age demo its for. cause the shows b4 and after ARE NOT THIS.#but more. i always suspect. those FUCKING MOVIES. setting us back SEVERELY.#(in terms of how preschool age shows have no civilians is like. how everyone needs A JOB. in the SYSTEM #no Hey its COOL. if ur just. a kid. or. an unaffiliated Guy. hanging out)
