Trust me when I say Titans and Riverdale (ESPECIALLY Riverdale) qualify as evil. I don't say that lightly. I realize what a big statement it is.Thank you
And yes, there is definitely art which is immoral and/or evil, but a lot more that is just in somewhat bad taste, and even more that is (IMO) just not very good.
One issue I have lately is that it seems like nearly every cable or streaming exclusive series for adults is TV-MA. I don’t have a problem with those shows existing, my problem is that they are the only thing that’s on.
Let us say for the sake of argument that you are right and that people unfairly malign adult animation. What difference does that make? Does that make you like it less? Has it made networks and streaming services more reluctant to make it? If no to both questions, who cares what Mr. Enter thinks? Why does that bother you so much?But that's not the case at all for animation. If anything animation is more restricted than live-action, even on streaming.
Yet people still complain about adult animation.

Edit:
Animation fans have a HUGE chip on their shoulders about the subject. The slightest criticism of it makes them lose their crap. It's not healthy.
You sure about that? Since when do mega-conglomerates give a crap about what a jerk on the internet says? Feel free to give me some examples but that doesn't strike me as remotely realistic.It's the censorious nature of it. To a corporation, a tweet equals tens of thousands of viewer complaints.

Are you saying Mr. Enter has the reach and sway of either Johnny Depp OR Amber Heard? Or the ability to influence casting or projects being greenlit or canceled? Because I don't see it.Johnny Depp v Amber Heard in the quite literal sense of what they went to court for

Who's the celebrity that got James Gunn fired?
Mostezli said:Could just be plain & simply pushback for the ever widening gap between animated content aimed at kids and adults with very very little in between from the western market.
That being said, you are describing people being "Canceled" for personal behavior and negative actions. That's actually different than getting a SHOW canceled due to fan complaints about the content. That used to be a fairly common occurrence actually, but it really doesn't happen anymore.
where does it show the rating change? or is that just in observation of content difference?Maybe not cancelled, but definitely toned. Love Death and Robots was watered down from a TV-MA to a TV-14 after the first season because people online complained about the sexual and violent content.
That's a pretty big allegation to make. Did the producers say they were forced to do that? More to the point, is it possible the producers took the complaints seriously because they had a point? Is the show better or worse for being TV-14?Maybe not cancelled, but definitely toned.

But that's just one show compared to all the other adult cartoons that have been made. But no one wants to talk about The Boondocks, or Venture Bros. or Moral Orel, or Duckman, or adult cartoons that aren't like Family Guy.
And the argument isn't that the adult content is overdone or witless, it's that it's there at all. Why say that bad adult cartoons should be more like Steven Universe as opposed to being more like, say, Aeon Flux or Futurama?
