When did we turn into Japan?
Can anyone name a kids' cartoon currently being made with a mostly male main cast that isn't SpongeBob?
We Bare Bears?
>Everyone who hires The Warriors is a girl
Buford, Omnibus, Old Man Oldman, and Docky Boardman hired them and they are all males.
To many cooks, not enough chefs.
>When did we turn into Japan?
You didn't, because just having female characters isn't enough.
>No mention of the Magical Girl Harem Anime
I had thought about it but I don't watch Star Vs enough to know if it had a theme with magical girls since I saw plenty of monsters and that magical fiery boy as well.
garbage shows for the people that are affraid of dating
You're just mad cause AT shit itself
It doesn't exist anymore.
Current generation is run by waifu fags.
Do Wander Over Yonder and Regular Show count?
Shows having a mostly female cast is to make up for the fact that so fucking few of them have a female protagonist.
Star Vs, Elena of Avalor, Tangled the Series, Powerpuff Girls, The Horse Show. Am I missing anything?
Gravity Falls?
>Magiswords
Most of the people who hire them are male, actually. It just doesn't seem like it because their most frequent employer is female.
>Loud House
Much to the annoyance of many anons here, despite the show having one boy and ten girls, the focus is almost exclusively on the boy and his male best friend.
>Steven Universe
Technically they're genderless, but for the most part yeah, you're right there.(that's not a bad thing though)
>Adventure Time
The kingdom full of princesses thing is mostly for the sake of a joke and being a catalyst for episode plots, since princesses tend to be the stereotypical "damsel in distress" that would be getting kidnapped or into trouble. Aside from a handful of female characters, most of the princesses have very little importance.
Most of the time the suits will not greenlight a specifically female targeted show.
So they make due by having a single male protagonist in what is basically a female show. Then say it is all audiences
All the sisters in Loud House are more standard cookie cutter archetypes and not so much characters. And they all move and act in a unit than as individuals.
>Pony, Kim Possible, and Powerpuff Girls were some of the most popular shows on each of the networks at one point
>B-but girl shows don't sell
>Better greenlight that 50th bro-show that everyone loves so much! Ha-ha, Apple and Onion looks way better than Infinity Train!
The fuck is wrong with execs...
This. But AT has a ton of male characters that have been of great importance, or at least got much attention. Ice King, Magic Man, Peppermint Butler, Lemongrab, dozens of minor candy people, several villain types...
Really anyone named who is not a Princess is mostly dudes. Outside a few plot-relevant women. We just got so much of PB and Marceline, and now Susan, that it's easy to forget.
And that orb thing they just called Princess because that's like half the people who want to talk to them.
Because NU Power puff girls is doing sooo great right now.

>A reboot made entirely for international appeal compared to an original series where the creator wants to actually see their vision come to fruition
And the reboot doesn't negate how good the original series was. You know, a passionate creator-driven project.
Did you just come out of a time machine from the early 2000s or something? Or do you think execs are completely retarded?
Thanks to third-wave feminism, all girls do these days besides shopping for shoes and clothing is Netflix and chill. Guys actually have to work, or if we're talking kids and teens work their asses off so they can GET work in the future.
That's why action shows are pretty much dead.
That's why light-hearted comedy shows with princesses and ponies are in.
THAT IS WHY THIS FUCKING THREAD EXISTS.
>That's why light-hearted comedy shows with princesses and ponies are in.
Yeah, look at all these light-hearted shows featuring princesses and ponies and not at all layabout bro-dudes:
>Regular Show
>We Bare Bears
>Gumball
>Clarence
>Uncle Grandpa
>Bunsen Is a Beast
>Pickle and Peanut
>Phineas and Ferb
Even fucking Adventure Time stars two bro-dudes who would rather sit around in their treehouse and chill.
Kim Possible woks because they made sure there is a male sidekick that takes up a large portion of the show.
Star Vs does the same thing.
>Only watches three shows
>pretends that is the entire industry
>blames conspiracy theories
Three shows user, three fucking shows follow your description
They're still light-hearted comedy shows. Don't have to actually have princesses and ponies.
Compare TTG to the original TT. Girls didn't watch the original nearly as much as execs wanted, so it was shitcanned despite bringing in sky-high ratings.
see I can give you more examples if you really want.
>They're still light-hearted comedy shows.
That's been the entire fucking industry since HB started making animation for television. And even when there were some action shows, they still had to be layered in "light hearted comedy" like Xiaolin Showdown, Teen Titans, Jackie Chan Adventures, and Avatar. Shows like B:TAS that were serious the entire way through were an anomaly and it was a miracle they were made at all.
You're warping the narrative to prove your non-existent point.
MLP invest into more male characters.
Yeah, but shows like Avatar and Teen Titans WILL NEVER BE MADE AGAIN because we have to pander to females and their associated SJW crowd (since they now control all of the spending)
Oh, you're just Sup Forums in disguise. In that case I'll argue on your level:
Teen Titans is shit because wannabe weeb shows will never make as much money as stuff like Frozen and their powerful story about sisterly love.
completely wrong, HB was the outlier back then, the 80's and early 90's was saturated with hyper masculine adventure/action shows
you're warping the narrative
Voltron?
Frozen is absolute dogshit, all of Sup Forums knows that.
Teen Titans wasn't that great throughout but when it was good, IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING. No show can even get close to that level of quality now
...
Granted, there was a trend of buff-men-doing-buff-things shows in the mid-to-late 80's, but it was fairly short-lived and was really just a fleeting trend compared to the grand scale of the entire animation industry.
There were also a ton of Scooby Doo rip-offs but I wouldn't say that mystery-solving gangs was a big part of the industry either.
This. The 80s especially were literally full of boys' action cartoons to sell associated toys, it's practically a meme.
>female pronouns
I guess you don't think shit like thunderbirds, the superman, batman and spiderman cartoons in the 60 and 70's count either
Again, action has always been a low percentage in regards to the entire industry since it started and it's still that way now. If you want current action, you have:
>Avengers Assemble
>Guardians of the Galaxy
>Star Wars Rebels
>Voltron
>Spider Man
>Lego Bionicle
>Kulipari
And about half of these shows are layered again in some comedic bits to keep kids from being completely bored, because guess what, comedy attracts people more than just pure action. A trend that lasted a few years doesn't negate that. It just means that action figures were selling well, not action shows.
Action has not been entirely wiped out like people think, they're just not paying attention and they're compiling shows over decades over time and even stretching their own limits by insinuating shit like He-Man was somehow good to make it seem like we're way worse off than we were in the fucking 80's. If you want to go back to 80's animation, be my guest, go marathon it right now.
