An open letter to Cartoon Network

Tue, 21 May 2013 13:05:51 -0300

The following is an actual e-mail I sent to Cartoon Network through their website.

Hi. I need some help with “Formula Cartoon”.

I was playing it with my 4 years old son today, and something awkward happened. We gathered some GP and XP and decided to change our avatar’s costume. We opened the t-shirts menu and there was this awesome Gumball t-shirt that my kid really loved at first sight.

However, when we tried to buy it, a pop-up window warned us that we could not buy that t-shirt because we were not of the right gender.

My son was terribly disappointed. He asked me why we couldn’t get the t-shirt he wanted. I tried to explain, but I could barely speak, I was so shocked. Then my son asked me if we could change the gender of our character just so we could buy the t-shirt we wanted.

So, first of all, I ask you to explain that to me, in a way my son can understand. How should I explain to a 4 years old boy he is not allowed to buy a virtual t-shirt for his virtual avatar, simply because the t-shirt is pink? How could I possibly turn that into something logic enough for a child to understand? Because, really, I’m 34 years old, I’ve got a PhD, and my brain simply cannot process that information. I am not capable of understanding why a talented group of programmers would go out of their way only to develop a restraint on a game so it will not allow male avatars to acquire pink t-shirts. It is the most absurd thing that ever happened to me in 30 years of playing video games.

Maybe you could come up with a way for the avatars to change their genders mid-game? That would be awesome. Or maybe even create more than two genders we can chose from? Because, really, if Ben 10 can turn into one gazillion of disgusting aliens, why can’t my boy turn into a girl every once in a while? The avatar could turn from boy to girl to boy again DURING THE RACE, giving some kind of crazy bonus. That would be awesome!

By the way, if you ever decide to sell some actual t-shirts with Gumball’s face in it, me and my son would like to know about it and buy the hell out of them. Because we really love Gumball, and we love Cartoon Network most of the time, and we really don’t give a fuck if the t-shirt is pink or magenta or red or black or golden. After all, Gumball being cyan, he looks GREAT on a magenta/pink t-shirt.

I just hope there won’t be a police officer inside of the clothing store to prevent us from buying it.

Please, be more careful with your games. Children hate homophobia.

Thank you very much for your attention.

THE most underrated scene in the entire movie. It was perfect. And do you know how often I see gif sets of it? This is the second one I’ve seen since the movie came out (It’s been over 5 months, now).

So let’s just pause for a moment from reblogging gifs of Tony’s sass, Loki’s sex appeal, or Bruce’s fluffiness and just appreciate this nameless, old, German guy and how, even though he knew he would probably die, he stood up to a tyrant to prove that the human race wouldn’t give up their freedom so easily.

Friendly reminder that it’s implied that he’s a Holocaust survivor.

I’m not even kidding, this was my absolute FAVORITE scene in the movie. The fact that he stood and stayed standing and just… those exact words! An inspirational man… Loki doesn’t even know how right the guy is either.

always reblog.

The Reverse Map of the World - if land masses dominated instead of water.

Taí um conceito maravilhoso, porém um tanto difícil de visualizar (IMHO - de tão acostumado que estou com os mapas do nosso planeta). Imaginem uma realidade paralela/alternativa assim, seria um lugar legal de se conhecer.
