One former Hexbear had a meltdown once by declaring and doubling down on all western animation being “for babies,” direct quote, and of course that user had an anime waifu avatar. I tried to argue, but then what I got back was “oh by all means UlyssesT tell us how much you like Dragon Tales too.”
I’m glad the meltdown lead to a ban.
“Grown-ass adult” mentality is so fucking immature.
Shit I saw some people talk about they wish it was like the older days with more sex scenes etc but there are reasons why nowadays there are intimacy coordinators on the set. Not even against the scenes but I read that sex scenes declined by a large margin 40% or so… I imagine part of the reason is that several actors/actresses may or may not be comfortable with such scenes. Add while art can take you out of your comfort zone Idk
Sometimes the coerced abuse is right on set with everyone watching, using contractual bullying or the like to distress the actor. Emilia Clarke had to go through that on the Gambo show, the distress on her face was real during those early scenes, and the trust fund hogs running the show got so mad when she renogotiated her contract that they eventually character assassinated her in a sort of literal “assassinate the character after cheapening the arc of a SV victim” way.
I fucking hate that show so much and anyone talking about how “sexy” it was is deeply sus to me.
I remember reading somewhere that when Momoa realized they didn’t have a robe ready for Clark between takes of the sex scenes he started screaming at the director to get her something to wear between takes.
She was coerced into her early scenes by contractual obligation and the hogs were oinking because of her visible distress, including on set.
I think the expanded use of intimacy coordinators are a post-Gambo consequence, though the actual trust fund hogs that pushed Emilia Clarke into that didn’t get punished in any way because rich cishet white men.
I remember the backlash when Penn Bagley said he didn’t wanna do racy scenes on the show You. Said he wasn’t as comfortable about it since he was married. Mfs called him all kinds of shit even called him MAGA etc. Talking about “he has no self control” “his marriage must not be strong” “he probably isn’t comfortable” people insinuating he has backwards views of women. All this sounded to me was like the gamer version of a show like this.
That’s the first time I heard of that particular moment; sounds like the flipside of that “being a sex pest is sex positivity” shit that Louis CK and Joss Whedon were pushing on set.
I haven’t seen it, but even if I had, it’s probably better than “Help I Fell Unconscious And Now I Am In Yet Another Wish Fulfillment Video Game World With Sexual Pathology Characteristics” anime slop.
Many such cases.

you think that may have something to do with it? The nudes she did became less and less each season.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/comments/11xeipx/penn_badgley_thinks_we_all_overreacted_to_his/ Man didn’t even say anything bad. Its like actors and actresses aren’t allowed to have boundaries? And mind you these things have multiple shoots. They’re uncomfortable as fuck

Dragon Tales was great, what are they talking about. That shit slapped when I was five.
