>"N-OOOO YOU CANT HAVE SERIOUS STORIES WITH A CARTOON WALLABY! NOOOOO!"
Anyone who says this demonstrates a serious lack of awareness of children's literature and storytelling throughout history. Asserting that putting mature themes in a children's story is wrong or misguided is basically at odds with most storytelling throughout human culture in almost any other time period and is probably the perspective of a sanitized person brought up on junk television and media, or whatever their excuse might be, ignorant of culture.
>"B-but Heffer's parents dies, that's so edgy!!"
Uh-huh. And? That’s bad because….cartoon animation characters are escapist fantasy stories that shouldn’t deal with anything beyond the most basic power struggles? Again, totally unlike fairy tales throughout history over thousands of years where animals and children were killed or murdered or eaten etc etc, right? But cartoon characters must be pure because, why, exactly?
Rocko's modern life and Spongebob squarepants are far more thematically and tonally similar to a traditional children's story than what passes for kids entertainment in mass media today.
Essentially there's no fucking way that these people would ever appreciate or recommend to a child Hans Christian Andersen, Liaozhai zhiyi, Brothers Grimm, Ozaki's "Japanese Fairy Tales", and so on. They admire a sanitized, simplistic world and consider the introduction of any supposedly "mature" themes a tonal intrusion. What they don't recognize is that this position is genuinely a 20th/21st-century sheltered-kid puritanical position that goes against the entire history of children's storytelling. Their criticism of Rocko's modern life is focused solely on the fact that depression and grief has no place in a cartoonish world, but when cute animals dealt with these things in stories all over the world for centuries, I have to wonder how many other works in how many other cultures would be considered to be shit by their standards.

This again?
I wanna fuck Rocko
Imagine spending your days lurking the archive and then copypasting random shit here
If you see someone repeating this phrase "hi kuckyweck" then report his post for spam because he is an ban-evading troll and also the poster is a pedophile cause he admitted watching cub porn, and this fag needs to go to jail
This is what no pussy does to a mf
Poasting in a medium effort copy+pasted schizo thread.
Do you simp for kuckyweck?
Again with this?
No one has ever said this. Quit arguing with the voices in the walls.
Just report for low quality instead of useless posting when op does not even respond (does not even exist, it's just a bait thread)
Cry more, you autistic retard. People can post what they want during the block, it's not up to you to determine what can and can't, you fucking mongoloid. And I'm not the guy you think I am, botfag, fuck off.
Eat shit, you fucking stupid niggering cunt.
>People can post what they want during the block
So we just can remove the rules, right? I feel your insecurity, are you feeling all right?
It is good to always bump threads like this? because we know that's always you doing this
and then you say to the other user, as a cherry on top:
>Eat shit, you fucking stupid niggering cunt.
so it's up to you to determine what can and can't reply, right?
I can see the appeal. You can say what you really think, and express opinions that would get you ridiculed in other places in ways and using vocabulary that would probably get you censured. You don't need to sign up for anything, you don't need to worry about Internet points, there are no holds barred and minimal moderation. On the other hand, if people were coming from far and wide I think we'd see even more fucking stupid matchups being suggested and R&S vs Rocko autism would probably be more popular outside of here.
Not only more popular, but with less insults and less garbage.
Still, being anonymous and without awards or some sort of posting system, this place still have rules

Are you a tourist or just a questionnigger on crack?
>t.kuckyweck in disguise
Nice try. Schizo.
>Lion king iphoneposter simping for kuckyweck again
No one really does serious cartoons in the west because we already have better live action dramas. No cartoon is competing with the likes of Game of thrones or The Wire anytime soon so most don't see the point
You literally didn't refute any point that I've made. My point was that Rocko as a concept can inherently work with a dark story as shown with fairytales and just general folklore dating back hundreds of years. Your point being is that Nickelodeon/Joe murray did it poorly, which I do agree in some aspects. But that doesn't refute the point that characters like Spongebob can work with dark stakes and direness, especially since the cutesy designs contrast against the dark stakes and make the characters look even more vulnerable.
Saying "Rocko is too stupid to work with dark stuff." Is just brain rot and anti creative bullshit of the highest order
Of course deep themes can be explored in children's stories, but the tone has to be congruent and cogent along with the medium, and there's only so emotionally invested a normal person can get with an Australian Kangaroo. On top of all that, a lot of the time it's just cringe and the extended set of characters are the fucking shits
