Yes the quality is awful on purpose.

Og meme:

tadc went from being this knock-out pilot upheld as a shining beacon of indie animation to releasing a passable second episode, two pretty alright ones, and then more middling ones that attempt to make us sympathize with an actual bigot who wasn't even the most interesting character.

that's not even touching on the controversies the cast and crew handled absolutely terribly!

again, not to sound like a dramatic yt clickbait title, but tadc just reeks of white mediocrity to me. aside from bits and pieces of the show (intermission time, the orchestral theme, alex rochon's performance as caine, to name a few), it is a mystery to me how this watered-down, recycled, white, quirky millennial piece of media blew up to unimaginable heights. i remember the tiktoks from around the time the pilot came out calling tadc an "industry plant steven universe tumblr chronically online" type of show because everything about it was so overdone.

the trajectory is truly something else.

I don’t think it’s dramatic! I don’t think it’s dramatic to say that at all!

I feel like as we’re now having these intense and serious discussions about the show and the people involved, I really want to point out the fact that, at least for me, the mediocrity is what indicated the racism, not the other way around. The mediocrity is actually the surface layer of the racism, and it’s something you’ll often find to be the case in media. When you get into the minds of these people and examine the decisions they make, you start to realize that a lot of it stems from an internal bias that could only be attributed to systemic issues, most often racism.

The actions of the VAs aside, the limits of the character designs, the inability to have a confrontational moment, and refusal to properly expand on any of the confrontation that is brought up within the course of the show all indicate mediocrity.

A failure to consider other perspectives.

An ignorance in handling topics of mental health, abuse, and trauma.

A lack of experience that could only coincide with refusing to interact with certain groups of people.
