Hate Sink Wiki Rant

This wiki should not exist. To be fair, at least as a concept it is not as bad the quality Wikis, who acted like media pieces are factually good or bad, when it is actually subjective and while it is totally fine to express your opinion, labeling art as good or bad should be left to decide for each person and not expressed by communities as common knowledge. For example, it's fine if reviewers individually or as a team label something good, bad or in between. It's fine if a circle of people have the same opinions about a piece of media as long as they are not pressuring anyone to agree and as long as said piece of media isn't (seriously) harmful. What is not wrong is to create an entire wiki space that labels subjective concepts as good or bad as if those were objective, universal standards. The reason why the idea of a hate sink wiki isn't as bad, is because it adds characters who were meant by the authors to be hated, in other words it is based on author intentions, rather than quality. If for instance an author confirms they wrote one of their characters as a hatesink, than the label hatesink objectively applies to said character, regardless of the quality of writing. The problem with this is that authors don't often confirm their intentions with their characters, making it hard to tell if a loathsome character was meant to be this way at times.

Now despite my criticism I must admit that I agree with some of their pages. I agree for instance about characters like Sho Tucker and Umbridge being hatesinks even without the author's confirmation. However, many of their pages stretch the definition of hatesink and they disallow pages of characters who are way more vile, annoying or pathetic that some of their existing pages.

They add for instance Suzy Johnson. While she is extremely selfish and manipulative, she is not a murderer, she is only doing evil if you get in her way or if she considers so, her evil deeds are always played for laughs and don't ruin lives and she shows some genuine kindness and relatability when she doesn't think she could lose Jeremy's affection. Now, I don't claim she is a very sympathetic or noble demon, for the most part she isn't, but she is on the lower scale of villainy and her evil schemes are smart and funny, making her way more redeemable, funny and complex than an actual hatesink. Meanwhile, they disallow Junko Enoshima, a mass-murderer and hopecrusher, because she is funny. In this case I do agree with their decision, but the fact that they decided Suzy is a hatesink, despite also being a funny a villain and way less evil than Junko, show's how murky their standards are. They also do not list Angelica Pickles, despite her being generally more annoying than Suzy as she screams more and she has a bigger ego. Also, while bot characters are goofy, Suzy's plans are way more unrealistic and ridiculous than Angelica's, making Angelica feel more like a realistic mean little girl thus more detestable. Not to mention that Angelica is almost always in Rugrats while Suzy appears in only 3 episodes, giving the latter less time to set an impression. I can also list more a lot more characters more annoying than Suzy who didn't make it to the wiki: Sarah from Ed, Edd n Eddy, Millie from Kid vs. Kat, Jake Spidermonkey from My Gym Partner's a Monkey. I don't think those characters should be listed as hatesinks either, though I think it is debatable wether Angelica and Millie are suppose to be hated, since they are just jerks at worst, albeit exaggeratedly bad, and they did show redeeming qualities, I still wouldn't say we can surely label them as hatesinks. I feel like the internet started recently to overhate on Suzy and I don't get why. Now, I understand hating her, I don't even hate her and even I feel like she could've been better written, but I feel like some people give her more shit compared to other characters that are way more vile or annoying than her.

What I find ridiculous is that they sometimes even add very minor characters who are standard jerks or bullies. They added Bufford's past bully who appeared in only one episode for only a few minutes and the worst he did was standard bullying and trying to eat Bufford's goldfish, the latter being a stupid act played for laughs. Sure, he only had only one funny moment that was at the same time an attempt to kill a pet, and sure, it's very bad that he was beating up and picking up on smaller kids. I totally understand if you hate him, I sort of do myself, everyone should hate bullying, but it's not much worse than what kids typically do. I don't claim everyone was a bully in their childhood, but what kid didn't get into fights or acted bratty at times? Sure, he is worse than a typical kid, but again, it's nothing outright evil and we only got a few minutes of this guy. He didn't get enough screen time to leave a lasting impression. We also don't know about his motivation. For all we know, he could be a troubled bully. There was nothing to imply that, but there was nothing to debunk that either. Hating him is understandable, but what makes the wiki contributors so sure that this minor character who is nothing more than a standard and stupid bully who barely got screen time was intended by the creators to be so leave lasting hatred within the audiences to the point that it is worth writing an entire page describing why this character was meant to be hated.

This Wiki should not exist. It might not label quality levels to media, but writing an entire wiki on how to interpret an author's intentions isn't much better, unless maybe they limit themselves exclusively to what authors themselves have to say. This is telling people how to interpret media and I wouldn't have a problem with it if they didn't treat it like it's a fact. TV tropes pretty much has the same problem. I think they should've kept only the definition on hatesink and not listed any examples, again, unless the author confirmed a character to be a hatesink.

When you're obsessed with a fictional friendship it's like "I want to be him and treat my best friend that way soooo bad" (Son Goten From Dragon Ball) or it's like "I want what they have soooo much" (what Goten and Trunks from dragon ball have) or sometimes it's like "I want him specifically him to be in my life specifically" (Jake Spidermonkey)

Two in One Response Post.

First Response to my Filipino Friend.

Normally I do agree. Because anytime I take pictures of my traditional drawings, I had this Conon brand camera, but due to the low quality compared to some of my other devices to take pictures, i decided I stuck with a fire tablet, until I decided to use my Cellphone and my IPad to take pictures. As well as for anytime I want to take photos for a background. And also for my Mermay drawing, it'll be nice to see Gerby and Ozzy swim together, and most importantly, they can even swim with all of Maxwell and Friends. It looks like Maxwell and Friends will all be under the sea and become merfolk. The same goes with our OCs like the Ramcats and the Speedsters.

Second Response to my Filipino Friend.

Normally I'm not a huge fan of My Gym Partners of Monkey myself since I had a bad history with that show as a kid. And now I can't even stand Jake Spidermonkey. But with that Badger character, I might include her for Cartoon Network in Persona 4, such as having either the victim or a friendship bond. But I thought I could use her to be Saki Konishi. Like how I use Margaret from Regular Show to be Mayumi Yamano. So that means Chad Dickson (Numbuh 274) was the one who put both of them inside the TV. Anyways onto my drawing. It's nice to see Debby as a mermaid while pregnant. Since normally it was her in her 90s look, but it was nice you might be giving it another chance. I bet Windy and Rita might join in with her next time.

The theme song to "My Gym Partner's A Monkey"

One must consider when crafting a theme song that it needs to truly set a show up, and has it ever been done better than in the CN classic My Gym Partner's a Monkey?

I used to go to a human school, where everyone was the same. But, now I go to an animal school, cuz Lyon's my last name.

Thus speaks Adam Lyon, are charming and charismatic protagonist. He delivers the premise to the show in such a succinct and yet incredibly detailed way; we truly get a feeling for the sort of world he inhabits based on these opening lines alone.

But then the entire song is pulled down by this exchange:

Bullshark, porcupine, I don't know what. Going to this school's a pain in the - Adam! What? I was gunna say "neck". Oh, well that's okay then.

Obviously, the clear rhyme choice here would be "butt." But for some reason, Jake Spidermonkey, known ass enthusiast, interrupts the song (or should I say "butts in") to keep the lyrics clean? After the first lines went to such great lengths to establish the tone and setting, it's genuinely depressing to see this blatant character ASS-assination of Jake. He would not fucking say that.

Anyway they say "monkey" 21 times in the course of forty seconds so I give it a 2.5/5.

Obscure Animation Subject #104: My Gym Partner's a Monkey

Alright posting subjects again since HenryBean is posting new scorecards. This is a Cartoon Network show that had four seasons of 56 half-hours of 102 episode segments, running from December 26, 2005 to November 27, 2008. The series is created by Julie McNally Cahill and Timothy Cahill, and follows Adam Lyon, a human who, after a clerical error listed his surname as "Lion", is forced to transfer to Charles Darwin Middle School, a school for local anthropomorphic zoo animals, where he is partnered with Jake Spidermonkey in gym, and quickly becomes best friends with him. Together, they go into crazy dumb hijinks.

Yeah, its stupid, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing as long as its executed well. While the episodes do provide some good laughs here and there, the way the series is executed is mostly just unfunny, plain and simple. There is also some gross-out humor which just doesn’t work for the show at all, and the character’s voices can only be so much to take in. The series also gets more meta later down the line which is just forced straight and not funny in the slightest. Meta humor can work, but in this show it feels very out-of-place and jarring. Your average episode will have a couple good jokes that you can count on a hand, and the rest be filled with annoyance and terrible pacing, and then ending it off with a horrible twist. Yeah, its one of those shows tries desperately hard to surprise you, but it just makes you cringe instead. The animation quality is probably the best aspect of the show, its appealing and does fit the atmosphere well.

Now, I know that it has polarizing reception, so opinions may very depend on the person, but to me, its a sad disappointment that, while can give some laughs, is mostly just annoying and obnoxious. I recommend watching some episodes to see if its for your tastes though, because again, the opinions of the show vary depending on person.
