[User] East vs West thread. Why is Japan doing so much superior in animation than the entire west is? Is the west not trying? Or perhaps they want to fall behind?

[Assistant]
>>136943750 (OP)
Because the western market is consolidated, centralized, and top-down.
Consider shows like Miraculous Ladybug or Big Mouth. They are independent shows, they are incentivized to do well and continue them as long as they can because those shows are their sole business concern. They shop their shows around for the best offer, or they can reduce budget in order to meet the offer.
Distribution and production need to be decoupled for everyone to remain competitive and for there to be a variety. That what Japan has. The closest we have is Netflix, they produce their own content but still buy a lot from independent third parties. Disney and HBOMax are both studio-distributors, and that's why they are both having problems with content hegemony.

Because the west has more good comics than cartoons+you're clearly a normie when it comes to western animation and only cherrypicked generic WB stuff while ignoring the real classics like aeon flux, samurai jack, avatar (not even that obscure) and tron uprising. also regular show is good.

Pitt had his own book, he just doesn't appear again in the Gen13 book. Dale Keown eventually left Image and Pitt stopped being part of their shared universe.

I blame the "Bad Girl" craze. A lot of the books like Lady Death aged like milk. They were edgelord shit with a heaping of gore and tits, and unfortunately the eventual backlash splashed over into "Good Girl" books like Gen13, Monkeyman & O'Brien, and the like, that let the girls be awesome and cute while telling good fun stories.

[Assistant]
>>136968763
There's definitely something to this, but it's also a lot to do with the times we live in. Back in the 90s, regular superhero comics copied the slutty costume aspect of the bad girl comics without the edgelord aspect, but even after the bad girl trend died, and even with the backlash against it, books in the style of Gen13 and Danger Girl continued to be a thing into the 2000s, while leaving the CCA saw the big 2 pushing the envelope on sexiness as much as they did on violence and edginess.

It all came to an end in the 2010s when a lot of the sex appeal and cheesecake was sanitized out of mainstream comics by the bigger publishers, partially in an attempt to make their books more palatable to a female audience that still never showed up in large enough numbers to replace the straight male audience they already had, and partially just to appease the types of people who don't read comics but complain on Twitter about 'unrealistic' sexy girls in comics. People may point out that the big 2 have had some more recent attempts at doing some sexier books, but most of it is pretty basic and tame even compared to what they were doing in the 70s and 80s, things have backslid so much.

I agree that what we're sitting in right now is a Puritanical wasteland resulting from the big publishers sanitizing their catalogues. But I still put a lot of the blame on the way the 90s poured out a steady stream of bad edgy Bad Girl books. They poisoned the well and provided easy targets for the people that were looking to tar and feather the industry.

You guys are hyper-focusing on the comics but 90's entertainment in general was super seedy and sleazy all across the board. School playgrounds littered with nude 976 pin-up girl cards. Every syndicated TV channel playing Girls Gone Wild 30 minute paid programming all night long. Howard Stern and Jerry Springer becoming cultural icons. Japan flooding the airwaves with their filthy perverted hyper-violent cartoons. Maxim and Playboy presenting Marge Simpson's naked ass to newstands everywhere. 2 Live Crew defeating the Supreme Court and birthing the thong-clad booty-shaking renascence.
And then the internet happened...
The 90's was just a wild time even outside of the comic shop.

French sensibilities are different than 90's NA comics so while you might find a comic filled with action, high adventure and naked women, they aren't going to be as in your face attitude about it because it's not special to them. Artists have been freely drawing whatever they want in France for centuries, not unlike Japan. (save for a few mosaics here or there...)

It wasn't just the 90s though, it's not like things changed much in the 2000s, if anything a lot of entertainment got even sleazier. There was a sudden swing of the pendulum in the other direction in the 2010s, and now everything's run by moralizing prudes who are demonizing the entertainment previous generations grew up on. It's all fine for them to put jacked shirtless guys for them to enjoy in everything though.

2000s brought us the internet. The internet brought us a gluttony of smut. The value of smut plummeted. No one pays for porn anymore. The consoomer has now grown arrogant and entitled, demanding it.
Writers quit. Reality TV booms. South Park sets the new standard of adult entertainment. Newgrounds and deviantART soon follow. The lines between adult entertainment and children's entertainment blurs until the inevitable...

Lauren Faust's horse show. The year is 2010.
The adults now invade and corrupt children's show to a new, alarming degree. The world learns of this new and degenerate threat and of course, of COURSE the pendulum must swing.

The 90's was the tipping point. Cutting the edge and pushing the needle further and further into the red and fuck you if you don't like it, Grandma! A giant, nuclear middle finger to the whole of civilization sending us all plummeting into our current state of debauched immorality and depraved indifference.
It was a terrible and glorious spectacle.
Some of the comics were pretty good, too.

Well sure, it would be if they wanted equality of beefcake and cheesecake so there's something for everyone. But they don't want that, they want to enjoy their beefcake or their weird effeminate teen boys while screeching about straight male objectification of women, even fictional ones, and doing their best to make sure there's no place for cheesecake and hot girls and all your waifus must be turned gay or black, you can't enjoy things anymore.

Most of what you're saying makes sense, but I'm not sure Horse Cartoon was the single tipping point, did the bronies' horse porn really get any mainstream media attention? I saw more mainstream coverage of that cartoon ad girl who got retired because of all the porn. The big tipping point in the 2010s seems to be the aftermath of Occupy, when the politics of Tumblrinas got pushed into the mainstream.
