I've noticed there's been a quiet a rise on 2012 slander by some ROTTMNT fans after the movie came out and...can we not do that?
I don't think it's cool to shit on others for liking different versions of your favorite show and as Rise fans, you should know how that feels.

Actually, they were based on real things that happened to people and the show was used as a way for people to avoid being stupid. I think the show was pulled after a kid used it to kill themselves but I’m not entirely sure and I might be wrong.

Sexual trauma is a case by case of different experiences and everything about this screams “Well, this isn’t how it happened for me so that makes it wrong” Don’t speak for everyone…
(I am a survivor, the whole thread pretty much gatekeeps what can and cannot be representation)

@balleriko_
If they had said “It doesn’t represent SA for me”, it would have been fine. Because everyone is different. But a lot of us felt very strongly represented by this episode and by Angel

What about Eddsworld? Like I read the whole thread and didn’t see him so I didn’t know if you knew who Edd was, but he essentially inspired a large chunk of young artists to draw, was on the news, brought attention to climate change, and did it all while dying of cancer

That wasn’t the point.
The point is that as a survivor themselves, they should have empathy for those who see themselves in this kind of representation of hypersexuality and self hatred, not invalidate our experience because it doesn’t align with theirs
I'm kinda tired of coming across "fans" on Tumblr saying that ROTTMNT is superior then 2012 because 1.) The turtles are perfect and have never done anything wrong, 2.) Rise Splinter is the only Splinter that is a dad to the turtles and that why they respect him more, and 3.) It's

Can I just say that as a trans man who still has his uterus (for now), this means everything to me. It needs to be normalized to show men being pregnant in media in a non-creepy way
I don't believe any of the versions of TMNT go by the same formula because every series are very different from one another. Yes, there are similarities but they aren't /exactly/ the same.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought this lol (as well as the beginning sounding like Other Friends from Steven Universe The Movie)

Because that Yurri!!! On Ice fan art is from 2016 along with those tweet. WAY before the war even existed.

It's New York, a lot of people wear weird and out-there clothes and costumes but the second one makes them look suspicious and criminal. Like, drug dealers.

That wasn’t the reason. He left because he wanted to pursue his own things and didn’t want to be known for just Eddsworld. The harassment came after when he left which lead to him disappearing from the internet as a whole.
3.) ALL👏VERSIONS👏OF👏TMNT👏ARE👏ABOUT👏FAMILY. The amount of family and love moments that I can count is enough to make 30min-an hour long videos of each version of TMNT. Rise is just more on the hugs-are-our-way side of the spectrum. Affection isn't supposed to be expressed in

1.) The turtles are teenagers. Teenagers make more mistakes then children and adults. This isn't a bad thing, mistakes help teach us to be better. But the point is, the turtles aren't perfect. They make mistakes just like anybody else would, and just like their predecessors.

Firstly, other indie studios have come forward and have said that this is ABOVE AVERAGE pay and that spreading this kind of misinformation is actively destroying indie animation. Secondly, this “info” came from some who is a stalker and is into zoophilia so I would not trust them
It's one thing to dislike the show and just agree we have different opinions, it's another to be acting a fool, belittle others, and spread misinformation on the series. Oh and by the way, this isn't just coming from a 2012 fan, I'm a Rise fan too
And they most certainly did do things wrong *cough cough* Donnie's Gifts *cough cough*
2.) You do realize that Splinter had neglected his own children for a period of their lives right? He only really started to train them better and be more involved when he found out his sons k
