im canadian but i dont like being considered canadian - i consider myself more "cascadian" and my part of canada is MUCH culturally and geographically closer to seattle than it is to toronto (aka what americans think when they think "canada"). also i hate that provinces have zero power to pushback against the federal government's fuckups and the prairie provinces (aka canada's equivalent of the us deep south: in other words redneck hell) decide nearly all the federal elections. which means if the conservative party gets back in power (which is DEFINITELY gonna happen at this point bcuz ppl are tired of trudeau and forgot the ndp exists) im screwed no matter who's in charge of the province. at least the 50 individual states can push back if the president, legislature, and/or supreme court are acting retarded. while the prime minister of canada has near DICTATORIAL powers and this is supposed to be okay because (at least on paper) he answers to some old geezer in england.
on a related note: I HATE being fair skinned. I have majority norwegian ancestry but I look just like any other white person (eg either these descended from bri'ish settlers, or americans who jumped the border) so nobody can actually tell. sometimes I wish I had some first mations ancestry but NOPE my family has done a LOT of dna tests and we're so fucking white we'd make the funni austrian painter moustache man jealous of our "aryanitude". (like I don't even have any fucken JEWISH ancestry. it's norwegians and some bri'ish all the way down.) and I HATE IT bcuz im often lumped in with the "white trash" redneck types despite being trans af (the same issue is why my dead mum got rlly into egyptology bcuz it was less "white" than ancient rome and she didn't wanna be a "karen" white-woman stereotype at ALL). like I sometimes legit hate being born with fair skin in an anglo country in an area that's culturally and geographically closer to another, more well known anglo country and only ended up in this particular country because of a line some colonizer drew on a map long before me or any of my family members were even BORN.
prudes. they literally banned timebomb (aka one of the best and sanest people on dlfw) for reposting a copypasta he didnt even WRITE. i also had shit experiences on there as well (i was a confused teenager who was openly seeking help and wanted to change my ways, and instead i got flamed 2 oblivion). only good thing is that itvdude (another one of dlfws best users) was an admin. but other than that rnw was pure brimstone. if you actually have nostalgia for rnw, or consider it a core part of your childhood, then i legit feel sad 4 u.
the core ek team of blue and timebomb is cool, and so is speedtowel. but ive noticed lately that a LOT of the other ppl who got their country into a coveted official aritonesian location have a tendency of acting like holier-than-thou nutjobs. this is why i hang out in the atlantic with bigspin and spottie. btw speaking of ek: if im unbanned and justthere is unbanned why isnt jedidiah unbanned?
immature or faux-mature adult children who love distorting the facts 4 views. theres a "commentary" outta me that calls me by one of my deadnames consistently, uses my abusers as a trusted source, beats even more dead horses (figuratively) than vincent berethane has (in the biblical sense), doesnt even do a good job of explaining all my past drama, and bends logic to make me look like the exact opposite of who i am irl. (btw actual legit transphobes LOVE that video.) deviantart doesnt need youtubers to commentate its drama, its perfectly fine @ doing so itself as the awesome programlara shows.
its a halfway decent show but the fandom is utter shit and i am not saying that lightly. there are a few cool ppl besides me but the rest r the worst kinds of dymcids (quite a few of em wanna fuck the preschool aged insects, there was one person who shipped herself w/ declan, and also theres the fucking maid outfit dude). i regret causing this things adult fanbase to expand beyond scratch tbh. and the crying scenes are cringe. not to mention THIS SHOW HAS LEGIT KILLED SEVERAL OF MY FRIENDSHIPS BCUZ I MADE IT MY WHOLE FUCKING PERSONALITY (which in retrospect was a horrible attempt to replicate what timebomb has with sagwa ngl). but the hatebase is no better its mostly goanimate kids who hate it bcuz "they cry too much like caillou and MUH CAILLOU BAD". there are a few sane lu h8rs who arent gobrats but theyre sadly outnumbered by the immature ones.
overrated trash. big city greens is much better so is tgamm. in fact anythimg by modern dtva solos tlh - dtvas the only part of the modern overexpanded disney shitco i actually have a soft spot for. not to mention tlh was created by a pedo. i know a few tlh fans who have made their own fanon cartoon ideas that are legit better than tlh. why does paramount give tlh so many movies specials and spinoffs when it doesnt deserve them unlike mlaatr which we should have gotten a revival of instead of this loudhouse nonsense.
a dtva show that premiered around the same time as p&f and was hella popular, but it got screwed after one season because it wasnt getting good enough ratings in europe or some bullshit. however its still awesome (i dont care if mrenter says its an "animated atrocity" bcuz mrenter is overrated cartoonaboo trash). i hope dtva reboots this like they did with 2 of their other older shows (ducktales and the proud family), bcuz it would make a good addition to the "dtva renaissance".
the undisputed GOATs of western animation these days. ducktales 2k17, the owl house, amphibia, big city greens, the ghost and molly mcgee, and haileys on it are all goated. sadly disney as a whole is more focused on the overrated cinematic trash heap called the mcu, ruining star wars, making shitty live action remakes, and buying out all the competition. as a result a lot of dtva stuff is screwed over and cancelled for no good reason even tho the writers were planning more seasons. also primos should not have been greenlit, its racist af and i say this as a white af person (half-quebecois, half-norwegian).
underrated af (why do america canada japan and sometimes australia get all the love?). some of my faves: lazy lucy, audrey and friends, the three friends and jerry, lola and virginia, les sisters, ongezellig. lu also somewhat counts as the only canadian connection it has is that the irish animation studio is owned by a canadian company and cbc aired it before rte did.
based. that is all. besides the european ones i also like girlstuff-boystuff and braceface (both of which are canadian/hk co prods)
most based pc game series of the 90s. they did visual novels long b4 japan made them popular. shame it got screwed over by mattel who embrace-extend-extinguished it because it was actually outselling the barbie games and they didnt like that. (seeing what they did to hit entertainment idk why people act surprised that they ruined ttte. when in reality anything mattel acquires turns to shit and declines. the barbie movie was decent tho.)
some ppl dislike it and think it lost its touch since either sesame moved 2 hbo or arthur ended, but i think its still good. rosies rules is based and so are elinor wombats xavier cyberchase and also somewhat danieltiger (if only bcuz it was coproduced by the estate of the legendary mister rogers and the canuck-owned irish studio that also did lu and rosie). i agree pinkalicious aint that good tho and im indifferent re heroelementary. tbh i kinda see them picking up lu in the states since cartoonito fell thru.
show me on the doll where the dominion of canada hurt you. either that or log off. literally the only people who think canadians are somehow subhuman despite being indistinguishable from 99.99% of americans are legit terminally online dumbasses.
objectively superior to mgas other most popular toylines (bratz and lol surprise). fight me on this.
all generations are based, not just g4 and g5. g1 and g3 are good as well. g3.5 is decent but suffers from the fact that its literally just late-g3 (core 7 era) but reskinned. (it was prolly a placeholder anyways while lauren was working on g4.)
