>>51363512>Are you serious? I've been on this awful website for 11 years and I never knew that. Yes and because it doesn't originate from here, it's a term from John K, the guy who made Ren & Stimpy, who hated it and movies like it. Before adopting that term, people would use shit like "noodle arms" or something, which didn't work since you could use that against 1920's rubber hose cartoons too.
>that one calarts image with Gumball/Dipper/Steven/Star is literally just one dude drawing over a base, and in reality all 4 shows have a very clearly distinct style..Yeah anyone who uses that gif just admits they know fucking nothing about the conversation and should leave talking about cartoons to actual manchildren instead. It's so fucking disingenuous, especially when you see down to see how an average episode of Gumball. Even Steven Universe has a noticeable visual look to it compared to other shows.
What's ironic is that all this shit comes from people trying to say all cartoons look like Adventure Time, yet you can't fit Finn to that bean head base
>It honestly is.It's basically just another culture war shit and stems from the debate on modern art.
