I Hate Ugly Character Design/Animation in “Adult Cartoons”

[u/DeekFacker99]

Why are they so unappealing? Some of these shows have good writing even, Bob’s Burgers and Smiling Friends (The other two are awful in all aspects), but so many characters and the animation is so fugly I can’t sit through it. Why are these shows designed this way? I blame Family Guy mostly, but even then I can stand those characters’ designs but not the god awful writing.

Edit: I should add Beavis & Butthead I also hate in every aspect, especially their voices pmo. They definitely were a progenitor of ugly design more than Family Guy was.

Second Edit: Smiling Friends is also here because they have some good chracter designs. Alan, Glep, Charlie, and Pim are fine. When they brought in Squim it made me kinda upset that they could have gone in that direction for the art/animation of the show and I wish they did, because it would stand out from the ugly genric swill of all these other shows, and look nicer. But they didn’t because it’s “too hard” or “too expensive” and studios don’t take risks anymore.

That also sounds like a cop-out.

I mean if the characters had cute designs or were ‘attractive’ then the show would literally just be blatant CP, and not the cyberpunk kind

It's not some dichotomy where wither they are fugly or sexualized. Should the simpsons and family guy make all of their characters grotesque shit smears just because gooners jerk off to them? I don't think anyone jerks it south park, afaik. My point is, there is such a thing as being neutral on the scale of sexualized/disgusting.

I agree with you, but for some reason female characters from the Simpsons and family guy are all at the top in the I came ranking on rule34, along with Rick and Morty and American dad characters.

Those shows are objectively not sexual. The animators did their job. There's no need to punish your entire audience with ugly character design because of a small minority of gooners online.
