Holy **** ! This is my girlfriend's sister! I don't know how to feel about it being on Funnyjunk but I'll definitely show her.

While we're on the topic, my girlfriend makes the official Sock hat! If any of you want one, I'd suggest ordering from her!

Why do we get Gen Zed instead of this?

I like it how they had the balls to say "first trans gendered voice actor" and completely ignored Meowth's voice actor from pokemon

Its a ****** cartoon about a transgender fukboi and it looks like it was animated by a bunch of middle schoolers.
User avatar #249 to #37 - iqequalzero ONLINE (09/03/2015) [-]
This cartoon is also about a fukboi from what I can gather, just not a trans one.
#252 to #249 - felttipwizard ONLINE (09/03/2015) [-]
but it's well animated and charming and doesn't draw attention to it, it doesn't feel like the character is made purely to be trans.
#265 to #252 - cjmatt (09/04/2015) [-]
what? did you see the promo? the only thing they said about them was them being trans and having balls???
#266 to #265 - felttipwizard ONLINE (09/04/2015) [-]
I was talking about the cartoon in the op you dingus

"This cartoon is also about a fukboi from what I can gather, just not a trans one."
THIS cartoon is ALSO...
That was the comment I was replying to.
He was talking about the cartoon in the op being trans, or dressing like a girl despite being called "Mr." by the devil.

Gen Zed Promo One of their biggest thing about this show is that the lead actress is a transgender, so yeah. Says alot about the quality of the show that they have to outline that aspect to sell it.
#104 to #67 - greatgranpapy (09/02/2015) [-]
Transgender is essentially believing one is male if actually female or female if actually male right?
But still, that show sounds like something a stereotypical board meeting would come up with.
User avatar #118 to #104 - thycupcake (09/02/2015) [-]
Yeah that's pretty much what it is
more often shortened as trans though

And the ****** is culturized, yet lonely.

and the worst of all. THE. ******* . ANIMATION.
Bruh, I know animators have different "styles" but this just looks ******* incomplete and lacking. Like, at least if your drawings are terrible, you should have a fluid decent animation, right? But no. Even South Park is much more fluid than this.
#22 to #19 - cisdroidcommander (09/02/2015) [-]

#224 to #7 - alexandervascus (09/03/2015) [-]
The worst part to me is the entire premise isn't bad. IT'S THE FACT THEY SHOVE IT IN YOUR FACE, DO YOU SEE HOW PROGRESSIVE WE ARE, HAHA, TRANS VOICE ACTRESS. It's littered with HA-HA pop-culture references, mediocre voice acting, ****** animation, and the writing of a bunch of whipped writers in a dungeon that has to make something vaguely like humor or they'll watch their families get murdered. I have nothing against LGBT people, but a bad show is a bad show.

cause this is actually cute and gives you a warm chuckle... and we cant have nice things. Have some SWJ stuff shoved down your neck instead
#39 to #12 - ompalomper (09/02/2015) [-]
i have thought something like this would be awesome for years. i mean come on, the after life has got to be ******* crowded with how many we are now. surely they would need some middle management and recruit new reapers. "dead like me" was sort of close but it just ****** it up to much. and here we have this, a cute and funny concept that looks ans sounds appealing but noooo, the masses must be socially enlightened by the holy manuscript of Gen Zed.
#78 to #39 - anon (09/02/2015) [-]
You have the wrong impression of that series. It's entirely and completely a cashgrab exploiting transexuals.
#70 to #12 - anon (09/02/2015) [-]
Soc wants to be a girl. It's confirmed by the creator, hence the skirt.
#98 to #70 - basaltface ONLINE (09/02/2015) [-]
And thats not the issue, never was or will be. So that char wants to be a chick and wears a skirt, alright. Its the SJW bs what is the issue. They cramp into everything or try to. Why does it matter that some trans voices some char in gen zed? Why do i care? Why would i care? What makes that so important that i need to be informed about it straight off the bat? What makes the difference? Isnt that just another human? Or is he\she better then others cause she(he?) isnt cis gendered? How would that change the char to something interresting or is the voice actor for some reason better that way? Thats the **** i cant swallow. Stupid example.. but for example in the metal gear universe there is a guy named vamp. A total ******* badass and pretty much my favourite villian of the series. I just love how he talks, his backstory and actions, heck even the way he moves and the menancing feel he gives off, i love pretty much his overall design. He is a bisexual, with nanomachines enchanced to have regeneration powers like a vampire, he runs on water and walls and fights with throwing knives and a combat knive. He got most likely the most badass knife fight ever in the series (in my opinion of course) and guess what? Mr. Kojima wasnt like "uhhh guys look how empowering that guy is, he isnt straight!!! OMG just look at this!"
We are in 2015 for ***** sake, your gender doesnt matter, your sexuality doesnt matter, its you who matters (or the character whatever) and what you do matters too. If you are a lesbian gym trainer or a gay teacher or a transexual voice actor isnt important. Important is if you are a good gym trainer, a good teacher or a good voice actor. The sexuality\gender never should be the defining thing about you. Or be rubbed into peoples faces like this would be the most epic stuff ever. Also race doesnt matter while we are at it, its what you do and how you do it.

Also the show looks **** and from what i was able to collect myself its painfull to watch. That vid here on the other hand got charm and i found myself smiling all the way through cause its just adorable and i totally would watch a show like that anytime.

Thats atleast my view of it.
#241 to #98 - starllow (09/03/2015) [-]
Exactly. Welcome to hell and gen-zed are perfect examples of the right and wrong way to take on progressive values.

One show is fun, high quality, and the story's interesting, and I just found out one of the main characters is trans. It wasn't what defined her, it's just part of who she is.

This on the other hand, looks low quality and the characters are cardboard cut-outs. But oh, we have a trans character, so it's good.

You know, I just realized that Sock is a guy. Out of the 4-5 times I've watched this video I always assumed he was a girl, it kind of made it better that way.

User avatar #121 to #2 - destismad (09/03/2015) [-]
After I realized that Sock is a guy I chose to ignore that fact and pretend that he's a girl. It is better that way and his voice is light anyways.

Is it me or did they use several sounds from hl2/gmod/css/source on this clip?
#133 to #66 - anon (09/03/2015) [-]
I noticed that too. Made me kind of feel a little put off since I relate the sounds to said games. Not exactly fun watching an animation and suddenly getting distracted through remembering stuff about TF2. Bit of a bad move on their part but sometimes making sounds that are original or finding some online can be a "pain". I'm sure they just wanted to finish up this project so getting sounds that are more fitting wasn't high in priorities. I only say that they probably wanted to finish it because the whole thing looks like a unanimated bonus feature from a pixar movie.
User avatar #211 to #133 - thefates (09/03/2015) [-]
This video is literally just proof of concept. The fact that they put as much effort in to it as they did is already flabbergasting. They're not gonna go out and make/buy sounds for it too.
User avatar #253 to #133 - zhahje ONLINE (09/03/2015) [-]
yeah put me off a little bit too for the same reason, but it's not supposed to be a "finished product" sorta thing either so yeah
#20 - carbohydrates (09/02/2015) [-]
I think the theoretical cartoon series of this would be better if Sock was a female.
Probably because the voice role was female, so that's stuck in my head now...
And that Sock has the Hey Arnold shirt / kilt / dress thing going on, with the purple "skirt" under the vest.

... But, I'm sure that tumblr tards would have a field day proclaiming that this series encourages murder, and is perverted, or some such **** .
Because we can't have nice things.

If Jon were to kill himself when he gets old and repent beforehand, then it'd be a win/win. Sock wouldn't be tortured assuming that's what he meant by "fired" by Mephisto, and Jon would get to live a long life and probably wouldn't go to Hell. This looks pretty good, and I've seen worse get picked up by networks.

User avatar #227 to #41 - thejusticar (09/03/2015) [-]
sorry but even if he repented right before killing himself he would still go to hell, it is considered the ultimate sin in some words.
#237 to #227 - rollfourexplain (09/03/2015) [-]
A good point but that implies that sin you didn't repent for makes you go to hell rather than becoming saved all together.

#219 - totallytito (09/03/2015) [-]
Okay this animation was series-worthy, but seriously that character needs to be changed to a girl. I keep seeing a girl talking, I keep hearing a girl talking, yet it's continuously referred to as a "he".

The hat makes him look like he has floppy poodle ears, the face doesn't look the slightest bit masculine, the pear-shaped body looks pretty feminine, and the purple shirt/skirt at the bottom really adds to the effect. Not to mention he shakes his butt in a weird dance like a girl.

Again, I'm not bashing. The animation was fantastic, just... the character made me have to keep pausing and reminding myself that this is a male character we're following here.
User avatar #228 to #219 - guardianatreyu (09/03/2015) [-]
The character's an androgynous boy, nothing wrong with that.

correction: i remember reading from the person who made the short/ the owner of the account in which it was originally posted that he was gay and interested in the guy , he/she/idunno said so in a reply to a comment someone posted about how it would be better if the demon was changed into a girl and it escalated into a somewhat angry discussion and by angry i mean alot of people writing in caps how he was homophobic for not liking the design of the character

This was a school project though, not intending to actually launch, and probably wasn't even presented to any producers. I bet FX or adultswim would have picked it up though
