So John K claims that kids' animation shouldn't have actual stories/writing/three-dimensional characters because children aren't capable of digesting them and they only "get" LOLsorandumb booger and fart jokes.

But this flies in the face of the many people who watched SOL shows like Hey Arnold and the Weekenders as kids and still hold them in high esteem. On the other hand, John K-approved shows like Cow & Chicken were unwatchable back then and they're even worse now. I never or almost never found C&C funny.

John K confirmed for clueless idiot?

Why the fuck do you keep making John K threads?

Did he molest you as a child or something?

who is this fucker and why should anyone care

Do you have a source to back that up? A link to his blog, an article, anything, or are you just pulling this out of your ass?

Get out, underage

Are fucking retarded he said he hated having to resort to fart jokes and said he wished it could've been more dignified

I thought Cow and Chicken was okay; one of those shows you just watch for gross nonsense and "how did they get away with that" jokes.

I still wanna know if it was him that sent cp to Katie

Why do people talk about this guy so much in animation again? He made one mediocre nickelodeon show andbone adult followup years later that everyone agrees was complete shit but people act like his opinion is held in high regard

>mediocre
OH NO NO NO NO

Not impossible

Why don't people just metoo this faggot already, we all know he did it.

Because the animation world is even more incestuous than the rest of hollywood.

It is a fact that kids don't get depth and only take people at face value. That's why they are kids and the law doesn't treat them like adults.
You can stop with the pedo propaganda now.

>You can stop with the pedo propaganda now
???

Don't bother questioning it.
It's just an actual autist, like John K.

Hey I liked cow and chicken.
I guess I'm a sucker for dumb humor.

He has no kids of his own, ergo how the hell can he know what they like?

>tfw you will never have as much knowledge on animation as John K

Poor guy should have stuck to being a teacher at CalArts rather than trying to make his own shows which he clearly cannot do.

>But this flies in the face of the many people who watched SOL shows like Hey Arnold and the Weekenders as kids and still hold them in high esteem

No one cares about either of those shows except for the people who grew up with them.

Where's the fucking short, John. Stop shitposting on a dead website and get to fucking work.

Nah, I disagree
One of my favorite shows when I was a teen (like 7 years ago) was Fred's head and I discovered it through Sup Forums
It's still a great SoL and I wish there were more like it

It's all about your personal ethics on the issue. I can see where John K comes from, being that animation is a visual medium and you can get super expressive with that, if you don't hold yourself to a cohesive narrative or strict character personalities. Something like Angry Beavers really worked out, in that regard.

But I think kids do deserve to be challenged with better stories and writing and characters than what was given them in more episodic cartoon formats.

John K's always been an old fuck who hates innovation and would rather cartoons be the shit he watched as a kid except even grosser.

There are a lot of cartoons I watched as a kid that are unwatchable now. Try watching Rocket Power with a straight face. It's impossible.

And be an outlet for his weird daddy issues.
