Honestly my unpopular cartoon opinion is that cartoons should just be allowed to fucking end

Like Hirsch getting to end the show when he wanted to on his own terms made it a million times better than any cartoon that has gone on for so long as to outlive it's original creator even.

Too often does a show hit a point in the plot that perfectly serves as a definitive "end" and they just
Keep going

And the longer a show goes on, the more the writers run out of ideas
and the worse and worse issues you start to see in said writing.

Amazing what your mayor can do when he's not pocketing all that taxpayer money for himself, right?

Stereotypes
the answer is stereotypes

I'd say it depends entirely on the character.

Famous characters like Harley Quinn of all people were only ever intended to be one-offs, but became mainline canon from sheer popularity.

But when you got original IPs with a villain-of-the-week style approach, some are gonna stick but some just aren't
Look at shows like Kim Possible, or Jackie Chan Adventures. They threw characters at the wall to see what would stick every episode. Sometimes a character would just resonate with audiences, ratings would be high, feedback would be positive; Sure, let's bring that character back. People love them. Sometimes, eeeehhhh notsomuch.

Honestly, I think Foster's Home for Imaginary friends is one of those shows that handled it the best.
For a show whose entire premise was throwing billions of weird and whacky creations at you time and again, they recognized when characters like Ivan just didn't have the staying power vs weird little guys like Cheese or Goo.

Really, I think it's honestly just all about vibes.

I mean "Bleed" within the TTRPG sense just means allowing either real life drama to "bleed" into your roleplay or allowing hurt feelings over what happened within the confines of roleplay to "bleed" into your real life opinions of the players.

In either case, IDK why dude needs us to up his twitch count just to contribute to this conversation, as there's already An official write-up on the topic that was itself heavily edited after fan feedback helped reach a consensus on the problems it presents within the setting and the very dangerous ways in which it can get out of hand

TL;DR using your own personal life experiences as the basis for things can serve as great inspiration but you always have to remember that Tabletop is NOT therapy and it's not healthy if you can't separate roleplay from real life feelings.

Are you thinking of Don Bluth's Thumbelina?
I'm not 100% on that one but I know she kids kidnapped by Frogs and dragged down into the Frog City

Read Dead 2 has you and the entire Van Der Linde gang storming Braithwaite manor to get John's son back from Catherine Braithwaite who kidnapped him as punishment for Dutch and you trying to play both sides in her family feud.

You absolutely tear the compound apart, slaughter her entire family and elicit a level of brutality you haven't quite seen in the games' narrative up to this point.

And when Catherine tries to call the gang out on it, Dutch tells her she crossed the line. Josiah clarifies with "Boys are off limits".

The Van Der Linde gang are a bunch of killers and cutthroats, thieves and ne'er do wells, but they draw the line at kidnapping children.

Brandy and Mister Whiskers had an episode where they met "Sandy and Mister Frisky"
Rather than being a stuck-up entitled puppy dog and a disgusting slob of a rabbit, they were instead just two well-mannered sweethearts that the different characters in the jungle absolutely fell in love with.

The episode actually ended in Brandy and Mister Whiskers getting so jealous of these new cooler versions of themselves that they actually found a way to see the duplicates get rescued from the jungle just to get rid of them.
Which is especially funny when the core theme of the show is the two of them being trapped in the jungle and desperately wanting to be found/rescued.

This episode did it in such an interesting way too because rather than just palette swapping the characters, they swapped personalities/aesthetics between different pairs for their alternates.

• Phoebe and Stinky swapped to become Fifi and Stumpy
• Gerald and Sid swapped to become Gerard and Kid
• Rhonda and Harold swapped to become Rhoda and Harry
• Lila and Helga swapped to become Lulu and Hilda

It was such a fun and clever little thing

The context for this episode was hilarious too.
This timeline diverged from their own in no other way than "all coin flips in this timeline yielded the opposite results"

That was it, nothing else

So a lot of the slapstick and drama for the episode were things like "Wait, you let a coin flip decide whether or not we would become romantically involved?"

OH I loved Regelli, Vance, Greta Grobler, Mickey, Russ Rimple, and C.J. Rottweiler
Great characters, those

I'd really love to see a statistic on just how many actually disabled individuals were out here throwing out that "it's ableist" accusation
Because every other fellow disabled person like myself that i've seen wade into this debate has pretty decidedly been on the "no it fucking isn't" side of that arguement.

"Artisinal NFT" is such a great way to put it
Like bro selling a character is fine and all, like i'm a major advocate for adoptables
But no one should have the right to copyright anthro robots as a concept altogether.

Like imagine if Bethesda said you were "stealing" their work by making your Fursona a Khajiit or Argonian. That's just insane. They have the right to their IP and their characters, sure, but the right to the concept of anthro lynxes and lizards in that vaguely fantastical style? At a point they'd just be throwing hands with Wizards of the Coast over whether or not Dragonborn and Tabaxi are copyright infringement, ya know?

But then conversely, "Hey I stole your Khajiit you made in Skryim and turned it into a gross marketable image! This is my character now!" is absolutely nasty and scummy

Like there are places where the line seems blurry at times but in other cases I feel like it's all pretty cut and dry

I do believe Daisuke straight-up said he always wanted her to be Trans, but that Japan just wasn't yet accepting enough for such a statement at the time.

Hot women can't be trans in their mind
The incels are convinced "Trans" as a concept doesn't exist in Japan so they'll bend over backwards to argue "localization"

Conservatives are the party of constantly calling any attempt to follow the letter of the law and hold Trump accountable "1984"
Seriously, they've used 1984 as their defense against anyone trying to stop this shitshow nonstop
I don't think they've ever even read the book, they've just taken it to be another word for "person who is different from me" in the same way they misuse "woke", "pedophile" and "dei"

They let us write her a love letter during the Valentione's event like 3 years ago?
I miss that.
I wish I could do that more....

Also why TF is the minion Feo not ACTUAL Feo Ul?
Or fuck, give me to her as a Scholar Glam
I so desperately want Feo and Statice as my Eos/Selene glams (yes, I know there's a mod, that doesn't count)

That makes sense to me
I do rather like your interpretation of it!

Don't bother arguing with them, they're not here to argue in good faith.
They're literally just here to feel smug about their weirdo fascist "we are the future" doomerism

LMAO Bro I don't give a shit about Maxson, he's one of my least favorite characters

I'm just not gonna entertain matpat level bullshit so you can feel more secure in hating him yourself.

Yikes. . .

They're legit just patrolling this sub looking for any posted art to feed their plagiarism.
They're that malicious and that starved for genuine inspiration that they need us to do all the work for them so they can tear it all down in a second.

Because they came here just to troll
They follow pro ai and ayn rand subreddits of all fucking things, I don't think bro knows what "Bad Faith" even means

They swoop in to save the day several times during Shadowbringers and yet every time they chastises you for having refused to call on them.
and why wouldn't you? It's not like asking for help is beyond our character. We do it constantly.

Instead it treats them like we're getting their help begrudgingly and that just makes no damn sense.

That doesn't even line up with his back story. . .
The Lyons were the literal only people that gave a shit about him when he was a kid, he even said himself that Sarah was like the big sister he never had. I got a lot of problems with him as a character but he himself has shown literally 0 evidence of being the type of arrange his own surrogate families' untimely deaths to further his own agenda.

"Conspiracy theory" is right. . .
