Why is it so rare to have a cartoon set here?

Why is it so rare to have a cartoon set here?

Because the industry is in California

Has ridiculously high crime, poverty, and obesity rates. Doesn’t make for great cartoons.

Because it's boring as fuck here.

So why are so many set in California where those issues are worse?

Leftists don’t want to realize their dialectic of “progress” (overconsumption, irresponsibility, parasitism,) by actually studying that region. They only know about it in relation the south’s defeat in the civil war since they can fit that into their dialectic of progress, but if they actually research the region and its history they’d realize their narrative fails to accurately capture reality.

The industry is still feeling the effects of the Rural Purge

Disney should remake Song of the south.

Because that’s where the majority of writers are from and there’s no point in using a different region with the same problems if California will do. I honestly wouldn’t mind them using the Brer characters again but you just know grifters would call it woke nowadays for focusing on African American folk heroes and tales.

The sad part is that movie was the first for a Black actor to receive an Oscar. It was also his last film before he died.

It’s even worse by the fact that it was an honorary one.
It’s almost as if the south continues to fuck itself over because of its high minority populations or something.

How does that not sound for a great cartoon? I can already imagine all the playful and silly hijinks :3

Gumball is set in reverse Louisiana.

Red states are racist

Have the most black people

Weird that

That sounds like a funny cartoon to me

You’d think Florida would be a given.
Tropical, the Everglades, the swamps, great weather, beaches, alligators.

I already pointed out why Californians wouldn’t do that Yeah, but a lot of that overlaps with California.

I recently moved there.
I like it so far, acclimating to the weather nicely.
I have accepted that I will never wear jeans comfortably ever again.

American Dad takes place in Virginia (as too with Cleveland Show)

The fact is that Hollywood only wants two places to exist: California and New York City. Sometimes they will deign to acknowledge Texas, Boston, Seattle, and Portland Oregon; but all the rest of the country is uninhabited flyover country. And they want it this way, they want this to be reality and would gladly drive you from your home in order to make it a reality.

we don't even have an animated show that takes place in Nevada

Hard mode: Not Las Vegas or Reno

Tbf, Langley barely counts as Virginia at this point, talk to any local virginian of either party not from the NoVA region and they usually hate NoVA for being the very embodiment of snooty rich neo-liberalism.

It’s almost as if those, as well as Chicago, are the most populated parts of the country and are more likely to have focus on them compared to a relatively smaller city like Louisville or even Nashville

California has lower obesity than any of those states.
I would guess because writers are usually born and raised places that foster creativity and self expression. The southern states don't typically do either and the old maxim "write what you know" can't really apply to the area because the writers, being from elsewhere, simply don't know it.

Exactly, and what I mean is a fictional town that's similar to either of these (as well as Carson City)

Current Uncanny X-men happens in Louisiana. Alas, the writer of the book thinks she understands southern gothic, so the book it's bad because she doesn't. If you want to read some Louisiana comics, read Gambit 99.
The reason they don't write comics about that area is because current writers are average liberal leftists and they despise people born in this area. They consider them unintelligent, outdated, fanatics in their religious beliefs. There was recently a deadly flood there and the past lib government rather let them die.

You're very, very dumb.

A ton of writers came from the south, a few of them were even gay

What about Area 51? There’s a couple of cartoons that have taken place there.

Probably because it's warmer there.

This is a lie.
Even Mark Waid was born in this region.

I don't mind that they have their stories set there, but I do mind that they keep making all characters to have Cali or NY mentality even if they aren't from there.

I have accepted that I will never wear jeans comfortably ever again.

That never stopped me when I was there.

It’s also where all the slaves were. I mean, that’s going to happen when you have NY and Cali writers

What about Miami?
That all you got?

Depending the location. There are a lot of Area 51 locations outside of Nevada believe it or not

One case.
Nah, I've seen my share of writers from that area that immediately move to either California or NY and get rid of any trace of them being from those places or immediately say they arent like those people from there.

Miami isn't part of the South. It's all snowbird Jews and Cubans.

Is Miami even that big of a city anymore, I legitimately have no idea. I know Miami Vice was set there and a couple of other things though
I thought Area 51 was the one specifically in Nevada and all the others have different numbers.

True. Although the show has confirmed that it takes in Virgin, co-creator Matt Weitzman did state that it wanted to be, in his words, "as Springfield as it could ever be"

whybarent more things set in the 4 1/2 years of the confederacy

Because faggots would be mad either way

Phoenix is the most populated Capital city yet I've never seen anything animated take place there.

I thought Area 51 was the one specifically in Nevada and all the others have different numbers.

There is Area 52 also located in Nevada, specifically in Tonopah

Kentucky and Tennessee weren't part of the Confederacy but they swiftly wished they were.
Texas was a part and it's not highlighted on this map.

I'm talking about writers for children's media. Anyone can write about their meth-addled momma. Just ask the vice president.

That all you got?

That's all I need.

Most State capitals are deliberately placed in out of the way or obscure towns as a means of combating corruption.
Phoenix is different because there really isn't anywhere else to live in that God forsaken state.

I like how growing up poor suddenly disqualifies you form political office.

Yeah, but it’s still a bit smaller than the other big cities.
Ah, ok
Tennessee was actually, the ones that weren’t were Kentucky, Delaware, Missouri, and Maryland. Source: am Kentuckian and have relatives in Tennessee

Thank you, I wasn't quite sure.
I do know Missouri was considered contested, they started the violence early and stopped late

Because most people from the south can’t make cartoons anymore.

Phoenix is the 5th largest city in the US.

Jesus, you're dumb.
Who said anything about that? He wrote a book about his mother being a meth addict and he grew up in Appalachia. That's what I was getting at.
What might disqualify him for the office is the fact that he puts on more makeup than most women do these days, like the pretty pretty princess he is. Also, he told his grandma that he thinks he's gay.

Kamala lost, get over it.
Try running a candidate that isn't ass.

But is there any industry there? Does anything happen in Phoenix that doesn’t happen in any other city? I’d argue more stuff happens in Tucson, which is why you see a lot of media taking place there.

Miami isn't part of the South

It's in Florida, dumbass.

Too racists for Californian writers, too black for white audiences

I would not mind some more Kentucky representation. I think all we had was Hoops but I've never seen it, looks terrible though

politics out of nowhere

I see the Anon Babbletard is afraid

One day. Ill make one, dep south bros! But it will have nigs!

I actually came up with a pitch about superheroes in Franklin County and one of the jokes is that their reality isn’t that different from ours because rather than showing up in a big city like New York, they showed up in one of the least populated state capitals, so most of the world doesn’t even know they exist.

Why is Transformers the movie 80s in Tennessee?
The parts on Earth took place in Alaska.

New York and Californiafags hate the south. I wish those cocksuckers would leave.

But enough about new york

Liberals don't actually care about POC or LGBTQ+ people. Look at how often they claim to be allies of marginalized people, and then in the same breath, say that people in red states "get what they vote for" when something bad happens in one of them, despite the South having the highest number of POC.

They also do nothing about voter suppression, gerrymandering, and voter disenfranchisement. And if you say you think an entire county only having ONE ballot dropbox is unreasonable, you get called a whiner.

This

and this

They only know rumors since they are all urban Californians. They believe southern states are 1930s southern states. Just vast swaths of farmland populated by toothless hillbillies that are all racist KKK members and absolutely no one else.

majority of Anon Babble IPs are from those states

grim

Honestly, a county only having a single dropbox should be illegal. That is literally voter suppression by making it harder to vote, especially in more populated counties.

Politics out of nowhere

ignores the reply was responding to someone else that brought politics out of nowhere

only noticed the politics that were anti democrat

Way to make your hypocrisy obvious.

I can only think of Squidbillies and The Princess and the Frog being from here.

It makes sense, most people on Anon Babble are from the east coast/midwest since that’s where the majority of the US population is outside of California.

Vote day of then you lazy faggot.

They also do nothing about voter suppression, gerrymandering, and voter disenfranchisement.

Liberals literally do all of that themselves.

Blacks are too poor, and white conservicucks spent their childhoods being beaten by their fundie dads for doing anything seen as remotely faggy like art.

Keep in mind psychotic Baptist/adventist/etc denominations down there still forbid shit like dancing and music. They'd rather their kids go to Bible camp so they can be diddled instead of turning gay.

Wouldn’t voting the day of just make it more difficult to vote since people only have one place to go. Wouldn’t it make more sense to vote early instead.

This. My family would rather watch sports, news, Lifetime Movies, and whatever's in the zeitgeist than actually interact with anything artsy. Literally the only reason I’m different is because I’m autistic and it makes it a pain to talk to anybody about my interests outside of my friend group and social media.

vote early

candidate is incapacitated

shit I guess I wasted my vote

They consider the term "Art" to basically mean gay, ultra liberal water bar, wall banana, coastal elite rich yuppie types. No matter what it's related to, Art or Artist will forever and always mean liberal wall banana fag to them.

Story artist, clearly a liberal fag type
Concept Artist, that's just another term for ass ramming fag
Vehicle designer, clearly they don't make real cars and truck like REAL MEN! Those fags must make Priuses or other queermobiles!
Art Schools are nothing but big gay meeting places for queers to get boyfriends!

wheres the issue?
