but overall it seems that with live people we as a whole are more confrontational and skeptical... whereas with cartoon avatars it's more laid back but also more dismissive

that's simply your perception

consider charlie hepdo

same as how talking in person changes from how we talk in a chat room

talking in person is a LOT more cordial then some random text on twitter for example.. changes everything about how we interact with a medium

that's the result of the veil of anonimity

people, given the lack of consequences, devolve into idiots

I'm usually no different in person except for the fact I am hard of hearing and tone deaf.

Just got to make sure you repeat what you are saying to me. XD

really is why I think shows like south park, family guy, simpsons, etc would be so impossible with anything beyond crude animations

that's just a medium choice

the message is still communicatable

not just that, but that the message itself even with the same message would be repulsive

especially family guy

i think you're confounding an artistic choice with the message

the gags in animations such as fg or sp are only available in such medium

things like a talking dog that bangs supermodels or a reincarning child are not reality

that is the same I think in using a cartoon bear to discuss the same topics

the bear isn't affecting the message in the least

what the video relied on was tucker carlson

with the brief asides by the narrator

the same reason why stewie is allowed to rag on something, is the same function that a cartoon bear uses talking about similar topic

yet both are possible with live action or a disembodied voice minus a cartoon avatar

consider the daily show with jon stewart

but the live action... would the reception be the same? (doubt it myself)

do you need a cartoon avatar to receive a message?

Depends on how creative the creators are

Who killed Roger rabbit is a perfect example of a nonsensical universe being shown through (mostly) live action

i think you're being too down on yourself if you think the foudation of your reception of a political message is only viable thru a cartoon/animation medium

Who's making that case here though

miso

nope, stated as a whole that the collective reception of an idea is greatly impacted by the visualation of the presentor

right

that's uncontested

it's the degree of impact that's debatable

but overall it seems that with live people we as a whole are more confrontational and skeptical... whereas with cartoon avatars it's more laid back but also more dismissive

personally, I run videos mostly off screen and rarely look at them

so again, we're back to the medium of delivery

but if you read the comments of the cartoon bear video and the live person you'll see the idea in action

usually in the cartoon bear video comments, there is more discussion on the idea.. whereas people get more based on...well, the people in the video

what I cannot stand is the robot voice auto reader
