It's called shitposting, anon. It's what people do when they have a lot of pent up anger and nothing better to do with their ample amounts of free time. They find something to get mad about and bitch about it until they fall asleep. You'll find it's an extremely common practice around here, sadly.

Also, Marceline's mom is a cutie.

Now how do these artstyles fit into that template?
>>
>>78325415
Pearl kinda fits
>>
>>78325371
ug kinda looks like comics from mags and newpapers, so they dont quite fit, but like >>78325415 theyre appendages are very tube-ish. UG looks more like RS or GF, but they still have that tube look.
its just a trend you can identify once you see it a lot. the adventure time style was HUGE before adevture time came out, in fact i think flapjack kinda started it, but the adventure time style with the dot-eyes and tube arms was a legit trend on deviantart for artists just coming out of anime in, like, 2008 or something. i cant find examples because they were all 15 year olds doing stickers and pokemon crud so they werent well known.
maybe that cat drawing started it? the little grey striped cat doodles? poochie or something? around when that was made was when that style became popular among artists, and it was going to make its way to a cartoonist eventually.
>>

>Tube arms

So like this?

these guys >>78325415 arent ugly?
>>
>>78326726
No. They're drawn without blemishes or exaggerated facial features (besides Garnet and Amethyst's lips but they aren't necessarily ugly.) Take for example Double D's design. He looks like a fucking frog sometimes, especially when he cries or is freaked out, but he's endearing because we know his character. All the Steven Universe characters are generally pleasing to the eye
>>
>>78326629
>>78326726
Round things with big eyes are cute and baby-like. Details actually tend to detract from cuteness, which is especially prominent in shows like Ren and Stimpy, Spongebob or Flapjack where they do highly-detailed drawings to emphasize grotesqueness.

The idea that Marceline's mom being "of color" has anything to do with taking credit for having a minority.
If anything, it's just a reference to the voice actor's heritage, and nothing in the show or anyone in the crew of the show have even made the slightest hint of wanting credit for such a thing.

They mean they have the same kind of Artstyle.

Raphael and Michelangelo have different art styles, but they're still identifiably High Renaissance.

Similarly, all the 2010s art styles are identifiably 2010, with AT being a huge contributor.

Shows like Clarence and SU may look different, but they follow the same mode.

It's like saying all anime looks the same. Of course they don't look exactly the same, but you know Anime when you see it, just like you know Tumblr Style when you see it.

>>
>>78331942
i drew that with a mouse pad in MS paint, it doesnt completely convey what i was trying to show.
denying that there are trends in art styles (especially in stylized ones) is ridiculous. its not "nostalgia glasses". someone said anime earlier, and i remember in the early 2000s there was a huge trend between shows like toyko mew mew, shana, nanoha, and so on where they had those really thick lashes and freaking huge wide-set eyes that ended right with their noses. or shows like fruits basket and ouran where their noses and ligaments were outrageously long. just like the east, we have trends here. some are closer than others.
regular show and gravity falls look a lot alike when it comes to humans, and they both sorta look like chowder only they are a lot more "real" when it comes to proportions. SU and bare bears are like that too, only they are more like each other than they are like the previous ones mentioned. if you ACTUALLY dont believe this, you will in a few years when the trend changes and you look back at these shows.

Most common people don't watch cartoons in their 20s.

If you're on /co/, you should be able to tell at a glance that Korra is western. It looks like all of those cartoons that try to look like anime.
