What are some of the most common lies that cartoons try to push?
Kids HATE vegetables xd
Kids think School is LAME lol
Its so funny being STUPID right?
Just the puppetmasters pushing their growth-stunting, anti-intellectual agenda to more easily control the masses when they grow into malnourished, empty-headed adults.

I think the biggest and most dangerous bullshit being spread by media in general is that anything can be solved peacefully and reasonably.
Bullies are just misunderstood and they really just want to be friends with you
>siblings hate each other
>rich people are the devil
>the popular kids are assholes
>jocks are borderline retarded bullies
>cheerleaders are mean-sprited, vapid and manipulative
>nerds are hated and bullied for no reason
>tomboys are attracted to dorky guys

>prom is the most important night of your life
I thinks that about covers it
>>82973104
>People hate dodgeball
Who the fuck hated dodgeball? I loved dodgeball and I was awful at it. Everyone in my grade flipped their shit for dodge ball.
>>82972914

>>82972914

>>82973438
I'm a scrawny dork and dodge ball was my favorite game. As a matter of fact, it was the only thing I liked about PE
>>82973104

Bullies are just assholes. Even if they have a rough home life no Frank talks between the two of you will stop their shit. They'll still be assholes.
>>82973400
>the popular people in my school were nice
>rich kids were chill and never really bragged about their wealth, only even knew their were rich because their friends would talk about it
>jocks were generally cool people who just happened to like sports
The popular people were popular because they were likable. All the bullies were fucking losers that nobody liked because they were assholes.
>>82973807
Broccoli, along with carrots, is okay-tier.
Peas, green beans and spinach are great-tier.
Beet greens are GOAT.
>>82974062
THIS. And poor people are much more likely to be bitter assholes than someone who is wealthy.
>>82974135
This. If you're not likeable then odds are pretty low that you're a popular kid.
>>82973400
Nearly all of these are often the case. Not absolutes, but common enough trends for a kiddy show theme.
>>82973400
>rich people are the devil
I agree, that's insultingTo the devil
>>82972914
Jocks can't be nerds. I was a living paradox by cartoon rules.
Other people will empathize with you and talking things out can solve most problems, or at least bring you to a mutual understanding with someone.
>>82972914
>Family is the strongest bond
I hate my fucking sister, she raised her kids to be total assholes because "the world is a hard place."
All the people I talked to that knew her were nice fucking people, but they never had anything nice to say about her. She's seriously an asshole to everyone for no reason, she complicates life for herself and everyone around her. Especially our mother, who she blames for her getting herself pregnant, which takes an amazing amount of mental dexterity.
The best lesson she ever taught her kids were:
>You don't need a plan
>You don't need an education
>You don't need an idea
>You don't even need a job
>Just be an asshole because that's how all successful people got successful
>tfw I fell for the "all smart kids are ugly, unattractive losers" meme
>>82974392

Cartoons don't do that anymore and that's a more typical fiction trend anyway not exclusive to children's media/cartoons.

If you stalk and pester her enough, eventually you will get the girl and not a restraining order.

We got them in middle school.5th Grade. I was so fucking excited because I thought "It's just like my tv shows".
I reacted pretty much the same way when I went on a schoolbus for the first time.

>>82973257
This this this. I tried the diplomacy route when I was bullied in grade school. Guess what? Didn't fucking work. I had to bonk a head or two before people stopped being assholes in my general direction. I learned that from my parents. "Anon, you're such a sweet boy, and I know you want to be friends with everyone. But not everyone wants to be friends. As a matter of fact, some people are mean. Stay out of their way, and don't get involved with them." And then my mother pulled me in real close before whispering, "...and if they get involved with you, that's when you kick the SHIT outta them."
Love ya too, Ma.
>>82973559
This as well. Dodgeball was Child Combat Catharsis Fun Hour. And the teachers on watch made sure there was no malarkey going on. Spoilt the fun a bit for those with a throwing arm gifted by the gods, but all in all ot was good fun.

>>82973633
here in north carolina I think kids get them in middle school as well, I remember I didn't back then, but it might've either been more recent or just not the school I went to. I heard Virginia and California do this too but only in select places? Probably working towards all middle school having them.
I have a wife into school stuff.
I also remember having "cubbies" in elementary school, jesus that was nice, right in the classroom for me to grab a snack
and do you guys remember those desks where the top opened up? or the ones that at least had the cubby under the lid to slide things into? lots of schools have flat desks now

That's pretty common. Sometimes siblings just can't get along at all.
>>rich people are the devil

>>the popular kids are assholes
Assholes can be well known for being assholes. But not popular.
>>jocks are borderline retarded bullies
You might get a jock or two who ends up being a bully, but a lot of times they end up being alright folks and aren't retards.
>>cheerleaders are mean-sprited, vapid and manipulative
well, this can happen. Personally I've seen it happen a few times. But, being a cheerleader doesn't instantly make you popular and well liked. You won't be the Queen Bee acting like that.
>>nerds are hated and bullied for no reason
If a nerd is bullied then odds are it's because they look and act like a fucking turbo geek.
>>tomboys are attracted to dorky guys
I don't think I've ever seen this in a show or real life. It seems oddly specific.
>>girls bully each other
This is a 100% truth. Girls bully each other and they can be vicious as fuck about it.
>>girls like bad boys
Truth. Some girls think they can find a bad boy, fix him, and get down to his hidden soft side. Other girls just like the confidence or are bad girls themselves
>>prom is the most important night of your life
to some it is, to some it isn't. Though I wouldn't say your entire life. More like just high school.
>>82974392
>>82974494
These two vary depending on the people in your life.
Some with empathize with you and want to talk things out to come to a better solution, and others won't.
Family can be the strongest bond depending on just who your family members are and it doesn't have to be your entire family. It could really just be one other family member.
>>82973633
No one at my high school used any of the 1000+ lockers there. I don't think the school even bothered giving people lockers, because I never got a locker number besides freshman year.
>you dont have to pretend to be someone else
>I you want someone to like you, just be yourself.
>it's normal to do bad in school
This was the reason I did so bad in elementary and middle school, I just thought it was normal for everyone to do bad at school because the protags always had trouble.
Turns out they just did that to have someone for dumb kids to relate to and not feel alone.
Glad I pulled myself out of that habbit quickly

>>82975282
One, because characters in fiction, like classes in a video game, are subject to balancing. Too stacked, it affects the plot. You need a cast that can play on its members' weaknesses and strengths, just like a boiling liquid in convection.
Two, usually, a jock can get an interest in nerdy hobbies, but nerds rarely take to sports or working out. Because it obviously is more difficult to move from a sedentary lifestyle to an active and outgoing one than the other way around, and some people simply aren't built for the strain of that. I myself loathe working out; I admit it.

>rich people are the devil
I was actively attracted to most of the stereotypical "rich" people not just in cartoons but in all shows/movies as a kid. I saw people discussing fine art and literature, drinking fine wine, wearing fine clothes, and I wanted IN on that even though every single one of them--without exception--was portrayed as either an asshole or a pretentious jackass, even when they were not actually acting better than anyone.
>>82975154
>But not popular.
The problem is that the actual meaning of "popular" is not how the term is used, especially in larger schools where only certain people will be known by the whole class.

on the other end I find a lot of people suggesting we shouldn't even try. When this is being pushed by someone far too dull to form an argument or remove their own bias before attempting to negotiate, it can be extraordinarily frustrating to hear. "i'm retarded and I won't allow this simple issue to be resolved without a fight!" tends to be a pretty accurate representation of tumblr/pol's "rational" reaction to anything.

>A majority will lead down a slippery slope-
None of them lead down a 'slippery slope'. You only fall into this trap if you are pre-disposed to becoming addicted to begin with. The 'slippery slope' gateway drug theory was a lie crafted during the Drug War. The most hardcore addicts never even touch the 'gateway' stuff.

>See the first, it all comes together at the very end.
This is almost never true about any part of authority. Authority is the end result of seniority, and is rarely the end-result of competency.
In truth, all of what I just mentioned are naive lies crafted from the 90's extremely simplistic view of the world. The 90's took the extreme view of gray-area issues and attempted to paint the entire world with that viewpoint because it made everything simple and easy to consume. No having to worry about drugs, because all drugs are harmful. No having to worry about alcohol, because all alcohol was harmful too. This was extended to everything, violence, video games, sweet foods, sex, and procrastination. All of which were portrayed in media in the simplistic sense, none of them ever considering context for their inclusion.
90's were fucking weird.

Yes, it fucking is. The kissing, the romance, all of it is the general category of sex.
Go find a single cartoon show which advocated dating and romance that was not about the complications or was hands-off as fuck as to be a very sterile friendship. Or worse: was a backwards lesson about how the opposite gender is nothing but problems and will cause severe issues in your life.

And that's fine. You forgot bratty, smart-ass, inconsiderate, greedy, and a load of other vices.
They are people in their purest form. But with yours (if you end up having them) 9/10 times if you love someone other than yourself, it's probably going to kick in for them too and the good will filter the bad for the most part and make it tolerable.

What kind of fantasy land school did you attend? At my school the popular kids were assholes towards the nerd kids but popular because the other popular kids and the almost popular kids liked them. And all the male jocks were part of the asshole brigade but some of the female ones were nicer.
We also had that thing were you were a "nerd" if you read books or got good grades.
>>82985213
m8, I went to a shitty public school in australia and all the assholes were ostracized by everyone else while those who were funny and/or got good grades were admired
>>82985273

Is it a coincidence or shittier schools have better people?

>>rich people are the devil
>>the popular kids are assholes
These were true at my high school though. There were plenty of popular people who were dicks but then there were plenty of popular kids who really were fucking assholes too.
>>82974135
>The popular people were popular because they were likable. All the bullies were fucking losers that nobody liked because they were assholes.
When will this meme end? At my high school, there were plenty of jocks, cheerleaders, girls on the dance team, and preps who were downright fucking mean and shitty to the less popular kids. Our school was very typical that way. Shit, I was even friends with a skater kid who was popular despite being a fucking terrible person who was in and out of jail constantly, yet plenty of people loved the guy and still do, even though he's only maybe a little better nowadays.
I don't know where this meme is coming from. I think it's just internet nerds being contrarian as fuck.

Fuck, now I will say that I'm gay like that I will be able to call people nigger without people complaining.
>>82986565
There is an actual strip in which a trans girl is demanding cookies from a half-Chinese one because she's "more oppressed" and the half-Chinese one caves in, because "she's passingly white".
And the trans-girl is a full-white redhead, like the lesbian here.
Somehow this is supposed to be justice.
>>82982826
honestly people in general are a ton of problems. Gay, Straight, doesn't matter fucking will lead to mind games, bullshit of various stripes, and all manner of nonsense.
maybe that person is worth it. most of the time though...?
>>82986636
>I have more oppression point than you so it mean that I can be a dick and you can't complain
Do this people really think that racism and homophobia is just a fucking game where you win point by being the minoritiest? Damn I miss when being a stupid teenager was just liking edgy shit and listening to linkin park while complaining that your parents never understood you and not people turning serious issue in a joke.

Almost all of my friends who have married did so for tax benefits and visitation rights in case of medical emergency (I'm in Germany). It was always a kind of "we've been together for 5-10 years, so let's do it" thing. I reckon it will be the same with my gf and me, will probably ask her this year (or she will ask me, don't know).
My point being, marriage is becoming a purely legal thing again and divorce is an option you can take without stigma if it doesn't work out. And that's for the better, because it relieves the pressure from relationships. The erosion of marriage as a societal institution is ironically enhancing it, making it "happier."

It is. People who are successful by their competence are simply the ones who put the most work into their craft.
This is why good artists get annoyed when people say that they're "lucky they're so talented"; it diminishes the importance of actual effort they put in.

I have a friend who has THE WORST taste in men, like holy shit how can you be so bad at picking partners?
her first boyfriend is someone I know who has a huge aggression problem, and is spoiled as fuck by his rich parents, yet is consistently moody, refuses to get a job (because his parents give him money anyway) and spends all day indoors smoking weed and replaying games he's played a million times
her next boyfriend was someone who'd had a child with another woman (at age 20), yet never saw his daughter anymore and basically cut off ties with them; he also was a drug dealer, frequently got arrested and fought the police, and had a sawed off shotgun (in the UK); he then got my friend pregnant, left her a while later, threatened her, then cut off all contact.
last I heard he had gotten ANOTHER girl pregnant then ended up in prison
her next boyfriend was a 19 year old (she was 25 at this point and her daughter was 2), who was so inexperienced with ANYTHING that he might as well have been 12
her next boyfriend was someone we've known for years, who has a tiny penis, acts like an arrogant, immature cunt, but has a well paying job
it lasted a month
she's a nice, pretty girl, yet she has almost destroyed her life with her awful taste in men, it's astounding and depressing

Love doesn't mean being a total bitch slave to them. You care about them and want to see them successful and happy, even if that means you gotta put the screws to them sometimes when they fuck up. They're gonna fuck up a lot and you need to find the balance between proper discipline and coddling for them so they don't turn out spoiled and demanding or rigid and scared of life.

Because when you pretend to be someone else, it's only a matter of time before the facade drops. Unless you plan on being somebody else for the rest of your life.
If you've ever been in a relationship where the other person "changed", then you'd know.

And that's for the better, because it relieves the pressure from relationships. The erosion of marriage as a societal institution is ironically enhancing it, making it "happier."
Marriage was pretty much always a legal thing. It was only for a brief period there in the early 20th century where "love" was the greatest motivator, but even then, women were looking for financial security and men were looking for sex/house work and had fewer options outside of marriage.
And considering all the bullshit that happens when people who have been living together for 10+ years go through when they break up anyway, having a legal agreement ahead of time just makes sense.

>This is why good artists get annoyed when people say that they're "lucky they're so talented"; it diminishes the importance of actual effort they put in.
I remember Neil Degrasse Tyson saying this in an interview. People would always compliment him about how "naturally gifted he was", but he didn't feel that he was that smart. He just studied his ass off.
This is especially true when it comes to his personality. People see him in interviews, where he's charming, fairly active, and always ready with a witty and/or insightful comment, so they assume he's naturally like that. He mentioned in one interview that he actually does a lot of prep work before each interview. He'll watch the interviewer's previous work so he can get a better understanding of their style, their beats, and their patterns, and then prepare how he himself will respond ahead of time so he doesn't go up there and make a fool of himself.
Then he gets cornered by fans who want to engage him personally, and he has no plan for that, and they say he ends up coming across as aloof and too busy to deal with them.
