I’m tired of seeing people on my page larping as if they know about 80s and 90s cartoons. Especially when they’re criticizing the DW art style as a comic book reader and a fan of old shows, I think they really need to start engaging with actual content from that era.

many villains from that time used that exact color palette and were intentionally designed to look "ugly." They also wore equally ridiculous, unfashionable clothing after all, the goal wasn't for you to empathize with them (think of Gargamel, Mohohoho for instance).
