I see it, but I don't think they had that intention.
I mean, I took the joke as "why would a grown man be watching a (potentially obscure) cartoon blatantly directed to young children," which isn't a bad joke.
Yeah just process it a second, imagine hundreds of Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy cosplayers coming up to you for days asking you if you watch a TV show aimed at little girls to sell toys. Boom, pedophile joke to vent your rage.
She even has ears, gumballs, Princesses and Magic, I like to think I'm right about this.
Yeah this comic pretty much falls flat... the message I got was "If you watch anime you're a pedophile" I don't know what their intention was, but thats what it told me. And last I checked I'm not a pedophile.
i support this comics deprecation of the unwholesome and basically worthless form of "entertainment" known as anime
That's like saying movies are not a relevant art form because trash like Battleship, Transformers 2 and Twilight simply exist.
Not to mention that 2 of the most consistently popular (to this day) series of this medium are Evangelion and Gundam, especially with Rebuild 3.33 coming out soon.
You guys think magical girls shows and UGUU~ nonsense are the only type of show there is? Unbelievable.
And Gabe's whole argument seems to be:
I don't like it, so Anime = pedophilia.
Just like Video Games = school shootings, right?
Amazing ignorance and double standards, I feel sick.
I liked PA when they did satire on topics that it had a clue on, like video games.
Am I the only person speculating that this comic might just be an evil plot to send readers on a wild goose chase due to a reference to a piece of culture that simply does not exist?
The closest thing I found was the kids show "Adventure time", which has a Princess Bubblegum character, but as far as I can tell no wizard school, Yummy-Chan or paedophilia appeal.
There's totally a wizard school in this one episode.

I know it's supposed to be; but the fact you can't be absolutely immediately certain just by looking allows me to imagine the possibility that this is just some entirely random person accosting Jerry at the booth about his/her cosplay, and Jerry is being a dick to him/her in response, and that vision of the comic is much funnier to me.
I don't see it. That doesn't look like gabe to me.

so you're one of the pedophiles this comic is talking about i guess
I made this account to give my opinion on this comic, I know how opinions work on the internet so brace yourself for this.
This comic is about bronies.
It's... Probably not? I mean, Gabe and Tycho don't really beat around the bush with this kind of thing. The comic is quite clearly about their opinion on certain types of anime/cosplay.
I think your comment says more about you than G&T.

I don't think this comic is really about their opinions. I think they're just making a joke at the expense of... maybe people that watch shows designed for kids? Or more specifically, people that watch shows designed for kids and like to have gay-pride about it.
This doesn't mean they actually have a strong opinion about those people. They're making a joke. For laughs.

maybe. I've been known to enjoy the odd girly animes and other shows, but I'm not terribly miffed at this. I do wonder if the news post will elaborate on it much, though.
I feel bad for being slightly offended by this comic (even though I only like a handful of anime shows). Although, I'm also not entirely convinced that the cosplayer in this comic isn't Gabe. He definitely watches kids' shows.

I don't think he watches MLP, but I'm sure he watches plenty of kids shows since he has 2 children.

It seems to me the situation is just about someone coming up to them and going on about their cosplay that they have no interest in and as the person keeps going on, he makes an acerbic remark to them to make them shut up/go away.
I don't think the intention here is to make a blanket statement about how anime viewers are pedophiles. Seems to be reading too much into the situation.

Yeah just process it a second, imagine hundreds of Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy cosplayers coming up to you for days asking you if you watch a TV show aimed at little girls to sell toys. Boom, pedophile joke to vent your rage.

You know, when I saw this earlier I shrugged thinking, "Heh, we won't get any of that." Boy was I wrong.
I don't see it. That doesn't look like gabe to me.
And I'm out.
Exquisite...

Actually it looks like that's a DSi XL. Obviously he's waiting for 8/19.

I'll be voting for Dr. Bunsen Honeydew. And if he does it, I'll supply sharpened bananas and a slingshot to be used on cosplayers.

So you were "pretending to be retarded" and now trying to save face now that logic is brought in?
Oh my, that's some mean backpedaling, it's like I'm on Reddit. Keep it up.

dude, he was basically just trolling for someone to take offense, and you did. That was pretty much his entire gameplan.

Probably.

Don't rise to it. We have mods for a reason.
Mike and Jerry have a sixth sense about when I have stuff to do that day.
