#we don't talk about bleedman

i haven’t caught up to ppg stuff up until now. but I’ve been wondering, why do people dislike bell the infamous fan ppg?

Her creator is pretty much a self-admitted Ped0. From "jokingly" making his sona stalk little girls, to straight up drawing p0rn of underage girls. Haven't any of you ever questioned why there's so many underage panty shots in PPG D? They're practically on every page. Other than that, her character is pretty bland and inconsistent. For the Strongshine girls, at least Bunny and Bullet you have a baseline. Bell was just a morphed OC loosely based on the perfect little girl from the Whoopass Stew Pilot. So she's either this (and I hate this term) Mary Sue edge-girl (PPG D) or just Bubbles but if her colors were white. There's just nothing about her that's very interesting or sets her apart from other ocs other than her creator being a pervert degenerate.

From my end that's why I avoid using Bell, and why I have my OWN OC based on the Perfect Little Girl, and my own OC named "Belle" whose a cat.

TBH Bell needs either needs to be retired by the fandom (She's a 20-year old fandom character at this point) or people need to take it upon themselves to create their own versions of her.

@ The PPG CW show: I'm interested to hear your thoughts on Professor Blacktonium, since apparently he exploits the girls to make money, stole his research from someone else, abuses his girlfriend and is an all around bastard. I'm going to guess the reason that this trainwreck is getting a rewrite is because some sliver of sanity poured into SOMEBODY at CW who WASN'T completely fucking tonedeaf.

Like that's bad enough, but then you have the "oh he really cared about you all along~" bullshit too, like fuck off! You shouldn't have turned him into a douche to begin with, but if you're going this route fucking COMMIT to it instead of this half-assed half-measure.

Like the only thing that baffles me more is the note of "The original cartoon is an in-universe sanitized product placement" since 1. this show literally ripped off its premise of "people get mad at the girls and they aren't allowed to use their powers anymore" from AN ACTUAL EPISODE OF THE CARTOON 2. Original Utonium was white, why the fuck would Blacktonium EVER let that bit of whitewashing slide and 3. HOLY SHIT THAT IS SUCH A TOTAL PISS ON PPG'S GRAVE IT MAKES ALL THE TIMES TEEN TITANS GO GAVE THE FINGER TO THE ORIGINAL SHOW'S FANS LOOK LIKE AFFECTIONATE RIBBING BY COMPARISON!! That's not AS insulting as Thundercats Roar's bit where they show 2011!Panthro's bones as a really horrible joke at his VA who fucking DIED, but it's pretty close! Can you believe that people actually think PPGZ was so hated back in the day? I wish we could go back in time and show them THIS shit and the 2016 reboot to show them how good they had it! I don't think even Bleedman would sink this low!

AND HE'S A WOMAN-BEATER?!?!

I can't! I can't, I -- Who thought they could get away with this kind of shit in 20-God damn-21?! I'm not even talking about 'oh, you can't ever write about certain things' like some twits would, I'm talking about how in the ever-loving hell did they think that putting 'Black man who is a thief and abuses his children and girlfriend' into their high-profile reboot of a well-known IP was going to go well?

Not to mention the whole 'sex-hungry lesbian' angle with Buttercup and the 'slutty bimbo' approach they took to Bubbles. Like... Who hurt you?

Also, hi? Why would there be a cartoon-show about the PPG in a universe where they exist but there's enough backlash against them that there are 'Anti-PPG Demonstrations' in public areas?

I feel like that one meme:

"I hate modern Hollywood! I hate modern Hollywood!"

"We have you surrounded! Come buy your tickets to the next three unnecessary Disney live-action reboots and stream gritty live-action reboots of childhood cartoons!"

Hello friend! I hope you're having a fantastic morning/evening/night, I wanted to know a little more about you before I randomly came to say hi just to see if we had any common interests I could talk about; however what I found more interesting was something I didn't recognize which was "bleedman" I've never heard of it but a lot of the other stuff on the list we have in common so I figure I might enjoy it, if you don't mind me asking though; what exactly is bleedman?

Bleedman is an artist who makes webcomics! I’ve been reading the PPG doujin and Grim Tales for years now~

You can see them on his website if you like.

Truth be told he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, and I know he has his problems. Namely he enjoys drawing little girls in compromised poses wayyy too often. But...I still like the stories;;

Oo how is she a Mary Sue ? Sorry if this is annoying you I’ve been tryna find rants about PpgD but there’s barely some that are good 😭

Well from what I read back in the day she was just horribly balanced as a character which was leads to me viewing her as a sort of Mary Sue. She beats Blossom pretty effortlessly in their first encounter. So much so Blossom has to use Gir to try and deter her. Her dad (?) Is some super evil dude. She might actually be a robot (That's about the time I gave up with the comic). Just no matter what she does the scales seem to tilt in her favor in a very unbalanced way. Not that the entire comic is known for stellar writing or even balance in terms of whose stronger than who. Lest we forget, the whole "Dee Dee being dead" thing appeared suddenly and abruptly amidst what was seemingly a very light-hearted crossover series. There would be points where the comic would randomly and abruptly get dark in a constantly fluffy of tonal whiplash. Not to mention whenever there's a joke he's worried the audience won't get he just up and explains it with a blurb. Which usually reeks of not having confidence in his own writing.

The Cartoon Network fancomics are the only thing this dude is remembered for, for a reason (Yeah he had a whole original comic too, but nobody gave a flying flip about it because there weren't identifiable characters for people to latch onto. I bet this is your first time hearing about it too.)
