#mean-spirited

What’s wrong with me??

You know when someone is on 4chan’s comic-&-cartoons page, when mentions about harsh scenes, or moral standards in a show, the other users would automatically say their whining about “Mean-Spiritedness” and that anyone who mentions that kind thing is automatically branded as ether Mr. Enter or just having Autism (which I think is very offensive to use that word as an insult for being dumb, not all people who have autism are total dumbasses you know), but I really have to ask myself, what really IS Mean-Spiritness, and how would categorized something as that kind of thing?

Well... I have a theory about that, it may be odd to talk about,  but I’m sick of tired of people with autism being ridiculed like this

I believe it just comes to four factors just four, let’s go over them shall we

Who is this show is aimed for: the target audience of the show can tell what kind of morals they want to teach and how they do their humor, for example Rick & Morty works because it's aimed at adults and the depicts the world in a smart-ass way, but shows like Gumball & Fairy Odd Parents doesn’t because it's aimed at kids and depicts the world in a smart-ass way, but we'll get to that in a bit

How does the show depict their world: the realism of the world that characters live in can be good or bad depending on what the world is like and how they depict it, when it takes place in a fantasy realm that completely fictional with say Unikitty's setting, it doesn't matter cause it's not our world, but when the world is trying represent real life you need to make sure you depict it realistically, but I’ll also get to that in a bit (and no having a show have stuff that's unrealistic but still depicts real life as cruel like Gumball & Fairy Odd Parents doesn't automatically exclude it from being categorized that way, it how they depict real life as that matters)

What tone the show is going for: the tone of a show can influence alot, for example if a show is bouncy and cartoony and is meant to be comedic like squash & stretch cartoons like Classic Warner Brothers cartoons, Tom & Jerry and so forth, it's okay for them to have harsh and cruel moments cause A) it's supposed to be funny & B) and again it shows how realistic the setting of the show is supposed to be but having the tone be serious most of the time, then they expect you too... well take it seriously, for example, shows like American Dad, Duckman, and Drawn Together work cause their trying to be overly comedic, Family Guy doesn't work cause most of the time they're trying to have a serious tone when their making cruel jokes and harsh lines we'd take them more seriously than something out of say Tex Avery or something

the Balance of Heartful and Caring & Smart-Ass and Cruel in how the show depicts real life if they do: the truth is life isn't all Black & White, it's Grey, a balanced mix between light and darkness, being being a good person gives you a reward and being an asshole gives you an reward, and it’s that it’s only completely nice or completely harsh depending on how you look at the world, it's important to remember that when depicting real life in your show if you don't want to categorized as being one or the other, for example, having a show be too friendly and nice (like most Preschool shows) isn't good cause that would be too boring, and having a show being cruel and hatefilled isn't good ether cause that would be too harsh, it's kind that joke in the Pilot for Tiny Toons where the cartoonist draws his attempts for main characters, with one being sweet and cutsey, while the other is angry and violent, but ends up splitting the difference creating Buster Bunny, it's kind of like that, South Park & Bob’s Burgers are great example because while they have alot of adult humor and cruelty they balance it out by having heartfelt moments and morals in them, like the show is an educational show for adults

the amount of these elements in how much they do it as the nice and friendly way & the harsh and cruel way determines, in my opinion, when something is ether too "Light-Hearted" or too "Mean-Spirited"

Devotional for March 25

"Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness." - Psalm 29:2

Someone remarked once that he did not know more disagreeable people than sanctified Christians. He probably meant people who only professed sanctification. There is an angular, hard, unlovely type of Christian character that has little relation to true holiness-at least, not the highest type of holiness. It is the skeleton without the flesh to cover it; it is the naked rock without the vines and foliage that cushion its rugged sides. Jesus was not only virtuous and pure, but He was also beautiful and full of the warm attractivenesss of love.

We read of different kinds of graces: Whatsoever things are just, . . . whatsoever things are lovely, . . . [and] of good report (Philippians 4:8). There are a thousand little graces in the Christian life that we cannot afford to ignore. In fact, the last stages in any work of art are always the finishing touches. So let us not wonder if God seems to spend a great deal of time in teaching us the little things that many might consider insignificant.
