[@EnigmaBarry]

This review is fantastic so far!! My problem with diversity is that is that it's shallow instead of progressive. At one point "diversity" meant having people from all walks of life with points of view like a jury selection. They might have their differences but eventually they'd find common ground and learn from one another. At one point "diversity" was pushed to mean marginalized voices who weren't getting heard in the creative role. That's fair. It can be hard to write a female character if every writer's a man and they have no perspective of how women think. Eventually "diversity" became a codeword for "No Men" or even "No Straight White Men". They all have the same life experience. They're not selected for their qualities or even in spite of their qualities just to meet a quota. The only thing diverse about the HGS staff is their hair color.

[@malohn2068]

Diversity is good. But its not good because of "well its diverse" no. You need females, males, white, black, people from different countries and backgrounds. Why? Cause your project is a result of everyone's effort and personalities. You need to hear a females opinion on X Y and Z and hear a black dudes opinion aswell to pick n choose and make a perfect product. Same way its bad its 10 white dudes in the ages 80 deciding politics, same way its bad 10 females in their late 20's deciding how to make a show. It becomes a circlejerk where they all agree with eachother which is bad. If 10 people decided shit tastes great and serve shit to a guy who doesnt like it, guess what. You served shit. But if you have 5 people that say shit taste like shit and 5 that says it doesnt suddenly you can work together to make a dish that isnt as shitty. The writing was on the wall from the start it was going to fail.

"Diverse", I swear whenever I hear that word thrown around, it raises red flags. Just because your group is filled to the brim with women, doesn't make them "diverse", it's actually the opposite, but I guess they wouldn't understand that, it's a term they use for a different meaning nowadays. Besides, what does having a "diverse" team have anything to do with the quality of your show? It has absolutely nothing to do with it, and if you're trying to sell people on it, the last thing they care to hear, is how "diverse" the team working on it is. If anything, the only time I'd care on who's working on some form of media/entertainment, is to reassure me that I know what this person/team is capable of outputting because of their previous works(see it all the with games).

If anyone wants a GOOD show that involves a magic school and have GOOD character designs as well as a diverse cast of characters who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community then go watch The Owl House. The show is actually really well made and it definitely draws you in alongside of making a show that both adults and children can relate to, they draw out the characters so they feel like real people and not some blank slate even down to building the romance which happens between Amity and Luz really well. It's also very open with the fact you're watching a show which is kind of a cliche and makes fun of itself by having Luz being the girl who loves magic/fantasy media. It's very open on that fact, seriously I literally only watched the beginning of it and got a very good idea of what Luz's personality just by looking at her plus the animation is AMAZING

Less than 2 minutes in and you already hit the nail on the head for why I even bother watching anything HGS related, like this video. The whole series is just so fascinatingly... bad. I'm not here to hate on it, if anything, the more I learn about it the more I see the potential the show had. Like many people, I agree that some of the character could've been amazing if handled better. Snapdragon, Amaryllis, Olive, and even Mandrake to name a few. But they're overshadowed by poor writing, stiff characterization, odd pacing, choppy animation, etc. etc. etc. It's kind of really disappointing at this point to think what could've been. Anyways, I'm going to go back to the video, so far I'm interested in what's being said.

I had a little hope on this show not gonna lie and now I have been imagining how the show would have be if it was made by actually talented people

[@PattisKarriereKarten]

Thanks for the great explanation with Malfoy (Potterhead here) I suspect there are no differences here because being different is „bad“. It would mean one person could be inferior to another person in there which would destroy the „harmony“. Because people that are „open minded“ always get along very well. After all it’s about „the others being bad“. After all „inclusive“ actually means only for a specific group of people.

[@fiore4379]

bruh I don’t get it I know people get hurt but it’s so stupid for these writers to just be sexist against all men because of whatever… I literally adore my boyfriend and i see him as a better person than me a lot of the time, no one’s CHARACTER is defined by their gender of race

[@Hawkcam1996]

I love how arrogant the creators are, basically saying how much better they are than “any other studio”. Clearly they’ve never watched an anime. I suggest they check out Mushoku Tensei by Studio Bind and try to keep that same arrogance.

[@artistanthony1007]

No I'm pretty sure they have, they can watch but won't change anything about them, heck actually are arrogant arses to make anime creators seem inferior, they know this and their idea of heroism is actually corrupted & slimy to us.

[@heresayoutubeprofilename8192]

I wasn’t gonna point it out but after seeing her ‘replace all white characters with non white characters’ tweet-Um, why does the ‘trailer’ that’s showing their staff seem to be showing all white females?

[@DeathxStrike18]

The title is called High Guardian Spice because the girls call their group Spice because of their names....but they are herbs not spices....

I went to a special school the only villain there was the guy outside who said he had free candy

[@PokeMaster22222]

Draco Malfoy, eh? In addition to his nice suits, rich-boy haircut, and sneer, in the shots provided he also looks tired, worn-out, unhealthily pale. And when one watches the later movies (or, better, reads the last two books), it'll become apparent why - his family's hosting their cruel, megalomaniac 'Dark Lord' with a penchant for throwing around _torture curses_ if his cronies fail or upset him. Draco never had the guts to be a terrorist; he was forced into serving Voldemort due to his father. One time, Draco was tasked with murdering Dumbledore, but couldn't bring himself to do it. Another time, a few other cronies had captured Harry Potter (and Hermione and Ron), who had disfigured his face, and Draco was brought in to identify him (which would've led to Harry's torture and death, no doubt), and yet Draco...didn't. He lied, said it wasn't Harry. Sure, Draco was stuck-up and rude in the first five books, brought up with anti-muggle prejudice due to his father (and likely his father's allies and acquaintances), but as is visible on the actor, he's exhausted, mentally stressed, and needs help.

I've recently been watching a lot of those "new player reacts to Genshin Impact character trailers" and man. That's how you do amazing trailers that get you excited for the actual content.

[@jetfoxproductions]

these femmists talk about how creative the show is and how much heart it has, when the invader zim pilot episode (which was a sales pitch to nickelodeon) has way more effort, heart, and creativity put into it.

[@thefirebug4068]

You don’t need diversity in the team to have diversity in the characters. I am working alone (I am searching à drawer or an animator but I can’t find one :( ) on a cartoon/comic idea. And in it, I decided to put a lot of diversity. There are white, black, mixed characters (I don’t know what is the right word in english since I am not english). There are also christian and muslim character (There is also a jew character but she is secondary, here, I am listing the main character). The story take place in France but some characters have Syrian, Italian, Scottish or/and Cameroonian origins. There is a diabetic character as there are characters with asthma, myopia or characters with anger issues, hydrophobia, addiction problems etc… They are all from different places and different families. One is gay, two are lesbian, one is ace, one is bi and one is trans. The others are either cis, straight or questioning (since the main characters are pre teens). But the difference is that, for example, I didn’t create a gay character for the only purpose of having a gay character. I gived them, all different backstories, realistic but unique personalities, hobbies, purpose in life. I also worked on the relationship with others, trying to find their common points to see when they would agree and when they would disagree. There 24 characters I finished. It took me almost a year. And I am still not done because there are still some background characters I need to work on. I agree, this is very hard to create a good character to make the story good. But this is so fun and also very important. Now, I am searching an artist who would agree to make a comic or an animation of this. And maybe he will give more ideas for the characters identity. But here, in this show, it seems like they didn’t work on it. Sorry for my very bad english (plus, my corrector is annoying…)

6:44 it took me a while to realize he tried to sneak in a pun

[@fizzycat3506]

Honestly at first when I saw the god awful trailer, I wasn't even upset at how they just made it only seem like women worked on this show, I felt upset because for one second seeing this trailer, I never saw one person who looked like me working on the art or animation, being a voice actor, working as a editor, a producer, or hell even ANY job in the studio. Granted I am black. And the fact that I JUST found out the weeks when this was still out with 12 episodes ready, I just found out Thyme's voice actor was a black woman. I felt a little frustrated at how in general, the fact that Raye and Thyme's VA were the ONLY people of color in this studio from what I know (Though Raye rather has a lighter skin tone)

Really that transgender line is so dumb. It would have worked so much better if he just said "Yea...I was." and just leave it at that.

[@LunaMinuna]

I just realized. HGS ripped of Ruby. 4 main characters who all meet going to a school for special gifted students, the main characters’ mother is dead but not really, her friend is practically a sister, they have a shy and un open character(Blake Bell)

[@friendlyrusset]

True and the the MC looks like a character from madoka magica Its cool to have tons of anime references but gluing them together this way is just horrible to watch with or without friends

[@siloPIRATE]

8:39 Right here. Exactly why you need dislikes to be visible

[@BananaPhoPhilly]

Not that it really matters, but that chick who spewed all that BS on twitter has stated recently she doesn't believe that shit anymore. Though it's likely she still believed it when the show was being made lol

[@MrAuthor3DS]

She didn't really give a real apology - she just said critics don't understand that she was "tumblrpilled" at the time.

[@mrstraightman2806]

"High Guardian Spice Sucks" Correct.
