Adult Swim just posting straight up transphobia now [possibly misinterpreted, see additional comics in OP]

Jesus this is basically a boomer comic. Whoever thought this should get published should be fired immediately.
Yikes. Been a long time since I've watched anything on adult swim. I know I'm alone on this but I feel like the quality of their shows has been a on steady decline for the past decade. At the very least my interest in their shows has been on a steady decline for the past decade.
What a shame. Haven't watched Adult Swim since forever, but ever since Moral Orel is done i have no reason to watch them now.
*googles*
Oh my, that explains some of the things that always rubbed me the wrong way about the channel
good social media managers are genuinely tough to find. this is from someone who comes from advertising and marketing.
not to excuse this shit, but yea, finding good help is tough for brand work.
whether or not this is just AS's brand now is another thing.
It out lived it's purpose, it was once the place to do expertmental quicky shit, but now everyone is doing and doing it better. Now it is the poor man's crunchy roll
Is that supposed to be advertising something? Like, besides the blatant transphobia and garbage, why post that? I feel very confused.
Is it because it is still seen as grunt work and get handed off to interns?
Incoming tweet from adult swim insisting that this is not representative of the company when there are plenty of other shitstains working there with similar views who just aren't stupid enough to post it online.
They greenlighted that alt right show years ago; I'm not surprised by this
It's been up for a whole day and a half. They know what they've done at this point
Or they're going all in on 4chan edgelords and the alt-right market.
I knew they were shitty but yeah done. Only thing they had left I cared about was Venture Bros. (Which was already really close to my no list because of Hunter Gathers but the quality of the other stuff allowed me to begrudgingly deal with it) but nope, no more adult swim and I guess I never finish venture bros.
Is it that hard to just not say the offensive thing?

This is happening almost weekly now. Seems none of these companies really care about trans and only "care" when they get caught.
What's the joke? That the creator is transphobic? That's not a joke, that's just some of the typical trash you can find spewed on twitter everyday.
Most Adult Swim original shows always seemed like edgy try hard garbage to me, with extremely few exceptions like the Boondocks, so I I'm not super shocked that some of these people who work there hold terrible views to be honest.

Mike Lazzo has always sucked. They just had more great creators working there back in the day so it was easier to hide.
depends on the company and the size/eyeballs the work gets. for a long while there companies didn't see the value of social media until maybe a year or two ago. So yea a lot of this public facing brand work went to underpaid, ignored and lowly interns. That's where we see a lot of the very public social media flubs come from. You won't catch a multi-billion dollar company with established brand work let an intern gain control of their social media presence now. it's usually done by someone who has been with the brand for a few years and knows the language of the internal brand messaging and knows the language of the fans. That takes a long time to build and from where I work we have a handful of people within the Brand team that put together our social media packets and it goes through at least two other teams before it gets sent out into the world. There are moments tho where they do go off book and interact with the audience in one on one discussions, but those are also generally verified within the brand team before those interactions are sent off into the world. Everything is double/triple checked.
I don't know AS's procedures, but their whole thing is about their image. Especially now when they're known as a "lifestyle brand" moreso than a place to watch weird cartoons. I don't know how to read if this is a intern posting what they wanted under an official banner or if this is just a direction their content has pushed them. Their shows have gotten more and more extreme over the years and they are becoming known for that.
At least PebbleYeet actually wears his dumbass Nazi ideology on his sleeve, this is Sam Hyde style "post-ironic" bigotry.
Does Adult Swim have anything of value these days?
I stopped watching around when Moral Orel ended.
