its fine for normal people

the whole plot is based around how flawed daria is, which tumblr girls dont get for some reason

Daria's more of a jaded 90s teen than a 10s tumblr teen.

>tumblr tumblr tumblr tumblr tumblr
Why is everyone on Sup Forums obsessed with Tumblr?

Watch Downtown, it's better and comfy instead of annoying.

Yes, for the character of Mr. DeMartino alone.

Daria is one of the most 90's shows in existence and tumblr did not exist in the 90's so you should be fine.

If this show was made by Tumblr, she will be ambiguously brown, fat and she will have vitiligo. (And she also will look like a rejected Steven Universe character)

Also Janet Barch wouldn´t exist.

>bumblr
no
>normal
... no

Sup Forums is tsundere for Tumblr, I thought that was established

to be fair everyone on the show is flawed as well. It's largely being funny by the combination of all the over the top yet serious flaws.

Arguable. Daria and Jane have great chemistry in time, and like someone already said, Mr. Demartino is great, and I personally like Jake. The development of some characters is also enjoyable.

>Do I have to be a teenage tumblr girl to watch this or is it bearable for normal people?
No, you just have to pull your head out of your ass to see it's a show about girl that's different from most kids her age, but still tries to live her life how she wants to.

It starts great but goes downhill once all the drama with Jane and whatshisface starts.

No, it's just the story of a girl WHO CRIED A RIVER AND DROWNED THE WHOLE WORLD.

Just make sure to get the version with the 90s songs on, it's essential to the experience.

The POV is different depending on how old you are.

When I watched it as a teen in the 90s,
>The show is about how adults are all stupid, teenagers have all the answers, conformity is dumb and being different makes you superior to your peers

Watching it as an adult,
>Teenagers are all self-absorbed children who know nothing about reality because they've never had to live in it, eventually they'll realize that regardless of what social clique they identify with even if it's "being different" they will eventually have to hang all that bullshit up and join the soul crushing conformity of life in the real world

Catcher in the Rye syndrome.

> version with the 90s songs on
Daria Restoration Project is what OP wants

Exactly. The show is very good.

Those two don't sound mutually exclusive. Soul crushing conformity gotta make you stupid.

Opinions on pic related, Sup Forums?

The whole thing about Dara was she's a loser and everybody else could see it but her.

2nd this. I haven't watch daria since I was a kid but Downtown is 1 season and each episode is great.

Tumblr has become among other things a website for artists and a lot of people on Sup Forums are artists so there's some overlap. So Sup Forums sees a lot of the clash between people who are here for the comics and cartoons and people who are here to say nigger without getting in trouble who also happen to like cartoons because they're children.

Underage newfags come to Sup Forums so they can tell their friends at school they go to the spooky website with all the hackers and terrorists and the blowing up of the yellow vans. They find out pretty quick that hating on "tumblr" and "SJWs" is the quickest way to sound as edgy as possible around here which is pretty much 100% of their goal.

Uh-huhuhuhuhuhu, Diarrhea cha-cha-cha!

Daria is far from tumblr. She points out the flaws in society of that time but not in a preachy, over bearing way

The episode where he gets introduced is the episode where everyone should drop the series. Honestly they destroy the show's overall tone and setting from there on and it's not worth watching anymore because the focus shifts away from the other characters to just those four.

>If this show was made by Tumblr, she will be ambiguously brown, fat and she will have vitiligo. (And she also will look like a rejected Steven Universe character)
At least got one of those down

You have to go back.

That's actually how you're supposed to watch Daria, it works both ways because that's how each age group views one another. Even then there's been episodes where it breaks that mold and teenagers and adults see eye to eye.

Wrong.
She's anti-social and hides it behind sarcasm, and people give her shit about it, while the said people are flawed themselves and THEY don't know it.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read.

He was a well adjusted individual which sadly made him a rather boring character in the show.

>some 80s or 90s show/cartoon
>yeah, but we made the main character balck/female/latino now

its like people cannot make new things anymore. Millenials and their cronies ruined everything

more news at eleven

wouldn't a black daria make more sense and be better equipped to point out the flaws of society
or does everyone hate this idea because they think somehow daria isn't just as "tumblr" as anyone else or that the character of daria would change immensely

>and everybody else could see it but her.
Actually a lot of the other characters, even the popular ones like Brittney and Kevin, liked Daria and often treated her like a (sort of) friend.

How would being black make daria better equipped?

You can't say ______ on Sup Forums
At least not as long as you're saying anything unflattering about ______s
It hurts the sensitive ______ Sup Forums mod's feelings and he bans you
If you want to say ______ you have to go to Sup Forums

I think Daria would have an especially sarcastic quip for the Tumblr genderspecials.

Holy shit, I just got finished watching the entire series last night. What the fuck Universe!? Why you scary!?

And no Daria has nothing to do with Tumblr.

This has the potential to be amazing if she has a brother named Quinnzell and he's the hoodest nigga on the streets. Her dad is missing and her mom is a sassy black woman who works at the diner.

I remember there was an episode where Daria got mad at Jodie and Jodie told her off because she didn't get what it was like for her to be black at a majority white school or just not in the majority

Yeah, Daria got fuckin' told.

Ruined the show IMO
If you took out his character wrote around that, the final season would be at least 5x better

>Tumblr has become among other things a website for artists
No user, that's what it was supposed to be in the first place, but it turned into a blogging platform
It used to be for hipsters and now it's for 20 somethings angry about society and the lack of people talking about periods in the media, so not much has changed in terms of who uses the site, but a lot has changed in how people use it

No. One of the most important parts of Daria was her family dynamic. Her mother needs to be a successful, accomplished professional of some sort.

I feel like that would kinda ruin the character
Daria is an effective character because she's in the midst of upper-middle class life and while there aren't a lot of people in that class, that's essentially where everyone below that class want to be, so we can trust Daria when she deconstructs society because that's where she's from

> a black daria make more sense and be better equipped to point out the flaws of society
The flaws that Daria points out almost never had to do with race or social strata but how people act with and towards each other while also using character stereotypes to make them more apparent. You have the braindead jock, the man-hating feminazi, airheaded blonde cheerleader, etc. How her being black or white has no actual influence on such things other than changing her race and potentially the rest of her family.

There was an episode like that but Jodie wasn't mad at her specifically but because Daria has more freedom in her life and is able to live without overdemanding parents dictating her future. This was the episode where both Jodie and Daria get selected to go to some preppy school for the highest scoring kids.
Jodie does talk about how she hates having to be the "perfect representation of a smart black student" several times in the series, but never in a way that tells Daria off or in response to Daria being mad at her.

Are you saying that black mothers can't be successful, accomplished professionals of some sort?

>How her being black or white has no actual influence on such things other than changing her race and potentially the rest of her family
But if she were black then there wouldn't be a huge stigma against her talking about race, which leads to her being better equipped to point out flaws of society
Her family dynamic really doesn't have to change

I wouldn't go as far as saying he ruined the show but he was definitely unnecessary and did drag it down.

If I'm remembering correctly, Tom was only added because the creative team working on the show wanted to give Daria a boyfriend but didn't think a guy would willingly date her unless he got to know her first. So instead of just giving Jane or Quinn or somebody else around Daria a guy friend who could later develop a relationship with her as they got to know each other, the creative team thought it was a much better idea to give Jane a bland boyfriend who Daria could later steal from her.

Nobody cares, fuck off with your negative shitposting.

Tumblr didn't exist at the time. No seriously, it's pretty nice. Maybe not as great as people say but it's still a nice watch and the characters really grow on you.

I felt like he was there because the writers were desperate. So with that sad attempt, they ended up dampering Daria's character and making her do things that you know is uncharacteristic of her based on how she views society.

Sup Forums is tsundere for tumblr.

tumblr is tsundere for Sup Forums

tl;dr: they're both stupid.

In what way? It's an accurate description of the whole social dynamic of this site. Maybe you haven't been here long enough to remember when every board wasn't Sup Forums, even Sup Forums.

>negative shitposting
>in an obvious tumblr hate thread
really user
of the people actually discussing the show, you told most of them to fuck off
nobody is going to apologize for not shitposting in your particular accepted style

A millennial wrote this post.

>But if she were black then there wouldn't be a huge stigma against her talking about race
Which was never a problem for Daria in the first place and she almost never touched on race at all whatsoever when Jodie was the one that did that, who also rarely touched on race and focused more on age/peer dynamic. Hell the show's main focus and much of the topics are based around age groups clashing or peers being either retards or assholes. I could have understood a little if you meant that her being black now means she can focus more on race shit, but you're saying it as if she has always had a big hand in such matters.

>Do I have to be a teenage tumblr girl to watch this or is it bearable for normal people?

For you to immediately assume it has anything to do with Tumblr (hurrdurr she looks like a Tumblr woman), I can already tell the show will be too smart for you.

>I felt like he was there because the writers were desperate
Desperate how? To give Daria some sort of personal relationship/dating experience before going off to collage and ending the show?

I don't mind that they wanted to give her a boyfriend, I just wish they had done it differently and with a better, less bland, character.

>but you're saying it as if she has always had a big hand in such matters
No I'm saying that people would be more accepting of a black character talking about race than a white character because white character or really people aren't really considered the authority on race issues and people might have some sort of problem with a white character dictating flaws in society based on race
Which is why I'm saying she'd be better equipped, black daria can talk about all the same age group/peer problems AND other things as well
Where you got the notion that I had said Daria was focused on race is beyond me and apparently most people in this thread because you're the only one having this reaction

nice reaction image though

Don't watch it. A stupid fag who is such a tool he'd even bring up tumblr in relation to daria has no business watching this show.

God people around here are simpering queers these days. Bleeding out their face pussies about tumblr and sjw boogie men and Sup Forums or Sup Forums invading. Now youre bringing it up before watching shit altogether. Buncha slack jawed faggits like ventura said.

user don't get so angry over a post that's most likely just baiting.

Less anger more disgust. Comic fans are as bad as the whiny bitches they constantly bitch are ruining comics these days.

Because you can only make a character a one trick pony for so long. Sarcastic boring Daria who rips on the society would eventually get stale to some people. So they gave her more to do by adding an unnecessary love interest. Which in the end did nothing for the character other than being afraid to love...oh, and a person who would steal someone's boyfriend (which is total bullshit for such a character like her).

He was written to be a foil to Daria's cynicism, but he ended up becoming her therapist more often then not.

>Sarcastic boring Daria who rips on the society would eventually get stale to some people.
I think my favorite episode (or at least my favorite when it comes to Daria's character) is the last one, dealing with the box. I like seeing her questioning herself and her attitude and how it has negatively affected herself and the people around her. It's something I wish would have been fleshed out more into a full story arch for her in that last season instead of in that single episode (with some hints tossed here and there throughout the show). If the writers still wanted to toss in a boyfriend for her, they could have and used him to further show her growth as a character. She could still be sarcastic and rational, but it would have been nice to see her warm up to more people and try to be nicer and not so distant and mocking all the time.

When will they realize their feelings and just fuck already.

Does the main character of any given show have to be "literally you" in order for you to enjoy it?

But then that would negate the black girl on the show who's super smart like Daria and feels pressured because all eyes are on her because she's black and doesn't fall into the stereotype of being a typical "black person."

She did learn a few things throughout the series that made her grow. Like the time she was gonna make an unflattering video of Quinn but then felt guilty when her sister started talking to her, noticed she was actually a human being who thinks about things going on around her and not some shallow vapid airhead.

He didn't even speak like a teen but someone in their late 30's who has already dealt with this stuff growing up. His character also looked bland with the black shirt and cargo pants.

Daria is so anti Tumblr it's not even funny

But Daria already has a great black female character with her own real character
Daria works as some upper middle class qhite girl being edgy as a disguise for being a turbo nerd

That's what i liked about that show Daria wasn't always right about everything. Jane told her off too at one point and even her mom got in her shit

Insecurity

Being sarcasric and ineffectual is tumblr now?

Did Sup Forums spillover?

it's a way of expressing a certain stereotype you fucking aspie

Tumblr is a pretty big website user. Most of the users I met irl use it for fashion, hairstyles, memes and porn. I imagine the social justice part of the site used to be small and separated. It most likely grew when sjws started to mixed their ideals with their other interests like cartoons and comics. By pushing their political correctness on art and discussion they are able to increase their presence on the community by attracting and making more sjw users.

We also have the same issue here as well.

Sup Forums is obsessed with tumblr because a lot of people here are insecure about Sup Forums being filled with tumblrinas. Most other boards never mention tumblr because they don't have this issue.

Sup Forums is looking for a new hobby but is disappointed in our selection. They just need to make few adjustments here and there to feel comfortable here.

Tumblr is the last bastion of decency, tolerance and morality. Oh and porn ah yes the porn!
