He writes that many of the character designs were derived from minstrel costumes, such as Mickey’s white gloves. Nicholas Sammond has argued that early American cartoon figures like Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny weren’t just mimicking minstrels, but were minstrels themselves. The comedy centered on the different ways the cast puts on blackface to do the play. For example, in the 1933 short ”Mickey’s Mellerdrammer,” Mickey Mouse and friends perform a minstrel rendition of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. In fact, early shorts were imitations of minstrel shows. Before the rise of animation, minstrel shows established character archetypes that would have been familiar to viewers early animated shorts used those same tropes in their stories as well. The popularity of minstrel shows overlapped with the development of early animation. I couldn’t tell whether those comparisons were intentionally malicious, but I was constantly frustrated by them and I didn’t have the language to articulate why.ĭiversity in children’s TV, specifically cartoons, has a checkered history.
I was a chubby Mexican child, and those comparisons increased when I cut my hair to shoulder length, which only made me look even more like her. To top it all off, it isn't a quick and painless death either she's still conscious enough to talk to the player afterwards.I have a vivid memory of being in kindergarten and being called Dora, the name of the titular character from the children’s show Dora the Explorer. Later in the mission, her mother kills her the moment she realises that Penny is no longer useful to her, and considering her mother's later demise, she will probably stay dead unless someone else has her fixed again. In Creature Feature, the stress caused by the player repeatedly using the remote on her drives her to an emotional breakdown. Penny has no idea about any of this, just knowing that she gets "blackouts" sometimes. She was once mauled by one of her mother's mutants, which led to her mother having her rebuilt as a Cyborg and using her as a pawn against the other students by controlling her via remote control. And if you show him proof that Felix is planning to kill him, his first reaction is tearful disbelief and he reveals that despite everything, he still honestly believes that Felix loves him, and "just has a weird way of showing it".
Worst of all is in Felix's route, where he ends his days covered in spiders and Buried Alive, and the last time we see him he's screaming and begging Felix to stop. It's so bad that he's even willing to commit murder without even knowing why just to win their approval. His twin brother constantly belittles him and treats him like a servant and his father is stated by both of them to favour Felix over him. It gets even more tearjerking if you speak to her after using her laser and she responds that she gets to go out on her terms.
Despite this, they're one of the most popular ships in the fandom due to their shared niceness and Woobie status. The closest thing Penny and Ted have to an in-game interaction is him not wanting to put gum in her hair, which is likely because he doesn't want to get "sent to the principal's office" rather than any personal relationship.
