Star vs Forces of Evil recent episode Starstruck reminded my of the current political situation in the US.

[Neonivek]

WOW! that was a REALLY uncomfortable episode on... racism so to speak.

The Amazing World of Gumball, let me break down the Metaphor

Darwin is in the part of the black adopted son whom the family believes wants to reconnect with his roots.

So they suddenly cook him stereotypical black dishes, not knowing the context or even cultures they are from, they adopt black personas... and they speak to him in "Ebonics" to comfort him. All the while mixing up cultures because "All black people are alike right?"

All the while Darwin has absolutely no real connection to that culture and at most showed a mild curiosity in his browser history.

Mind you, I don't see this being an issue for children but as an adult where I could see through their references... OWWWW!

The bit where the family realized she was looking at  browser history and destroy their computers was definitely aimed more at the older viewers.

I'm not one, I can't watch the show, the randomly spaced screamers make my teeth ache.

So this thread exists.

Is that a discreet way of saying 'Bump!'?

I think it is his discreet way of saying PTW

You are quite correct.

I don't think the implication was that the entire family was watching porn.

I think even younger audiences wouldn't like the idea of their parents invading their privacy.

Nobody says "please... delete... my browser history..." because they're worried people will see they were on ebay looking for MLP paraphernalia, they're concerned about the rule 34 stuff.

It always strikes me how people seem to be unaware of incognito browsing option available in most modern browsers.

But, it is easier to bookmark the website(s) / go back to it cause auto-fill.  Especially when it is frequently visited on a private computer.

On another note... is there anything of interest other then Steven Universe on the cartoon/western animation front?

Well Netflix did make that one reboot of Voltron. Apparently it was done by the studio behind Legend of Aang and, subsequently, Legend of Korra (the way I heard it). One season is out, and it gives off the vibes you would expect from a creation of that studio (I watched it prior to learning its origins). Poster promptly displays Dreamworks logo, so these guys must've got something to do with it as well.
Generally, it's worth a watch, I think.

For googling purposes: Voltron: Legendary Defender

How To Train Your Dragon: Race to the Edge, which is also on Netflix, is alright. There's 4 seasons out so far, I think season 4 is currently airing.

A few of my favorites:

1) Young Justice:  Its great, but it was cancelled before its time.  Although I heard rumors of it returning at some point.

2) Venture Bros:  Sort of a spoof on a lot of 80's cartoons like Jonny Quest, but really fun to watch.

3) Voltron: Legendary Defender:  Somehow good even though its about robot lions that turn into a giant robot.


Grr, I'm forgetting something obvious, I know it.  I'll edit when I remember.

Edit:   4)  Rick and Morty.

[WillowLuman]

Archer?

[Levi]

Archer?

No, I didn't really care for that one.  It was probably another adult-comedy though. 

Ack, it was Rick and Morty.  That was it. 

[Max™]

Venture Brothers is amazing, if you haven't seen it you should be watching it, if you aren't watching it, what the fuck are you doing here?

Archer is even raunchier and also fantastic, makes me miss Frisky Dingo too.

Oh, and I know the production quality isn't quite the same, and it may have just been due to living in Kentucky for a while, but Squidbillies is amazeballs.

Yeah, but there's nothing wrong with my pr0n, but I still don't want random people digging through it after I'm dead. Right now someone wants to check my browser history I laugh and tell them to fuck off, can't do that when I'm dead, so if you would, clear it for me? Thanks brah.

Rick and Morty has been met with generally positive acclaim. The animation and humor in the first few episodes are generally weak, but it definitely picks up after that and just keeps getting better. Particularly in the second season they touch on some very serious social dysfunctions, but mostly under the cover of some crazy and hilarious scenarios.

Bojack Horseman recently released it's third season, and has been renewed for a fourth. It's a show with a sort of slice-of-life vibe; which is to say, the story arcs don't really have conclusions. The characters develop problems, try to resolve them, realize there are no easy or complete solutions, so instead learn to live with their problems one day at a time. Also there are anthropomorphs. It's not for everyone, but I have really enjoyed the show so far and look forward to more.

Star vs the Forces of Evil is a show more appropriate for minors, but with some jokes that youthful adults can enjoy as well. There are a few original story arcs which keep things interesting.

We Bare Bears is from the same creator as Steven Universe. It's generally light-hearted and episodic, but there are several episodes which evoke real feels.
