Alfred's Playhouse Explanation

Again, heavy trigger warning for mentions and drawn depictions of bestiality, rape, sexual assault/sexual abuse, animal abuse, self harm, Nazi imagery/propaganda, etc. I made this as a separate Rentry because I think there's a handful of people that don't know exactly what Alfred's Playhouse is, so it's hard to emphasize my point without a proper explanation.

This is my input to the response above to my friend Roxy's callout Rentry, specifically the section where Roxy mentions that this person had a neo-Nazi's artwork from an insanely problematic and shitty series on their Rentry.

This lead us to believe that on top of all the weird shit that their partner has done, that Mp is ALSO weird. I was honestly giving them the benefit of the doubt for a bit and thought that they might've just not seen the entirety of the series or got it from somewhere else, but not only was that highly unlikely to begin with, in their response they addressed the fact that just because the series "has many references" and "makes fun out of h!tler, does not mean that I support it and that I am a n@zi".

First of all, neither I nor Roxy said that we thought Mp supported the creator (at the time of this response) or that we thought that Mp was a Nazi. We just thought it was important to point out that this person put Nazis in their dni list while simultaneously having a neo-Nazi's artwork on the same fucking page; which is, like Roxy said, EXTREMELY ironic. I can't speak for Roxy, but I myself am not saying that I believe that Mp is a neo-Nazi, what I do believe is that they're a fucking freak for having Alfred in their Rentry KNOWING that the creator is a neo-Nazi and has ACTIVELY demonstrated Nazi propaganda through their illustrations; and when I say actively, I mean this fucking dog having a Hilter-based alter ego is a major plot point.

It's insane just how many screenshots I can get of this dog as Hitler throughout every episode. They're saying that the series is "making fun out of Hitler" as if that's a valid point as to why there's an extreme amount Nazi advocacy in the animation. Even if it really is meant to "make fun" out of Hitler, it doesn't erase the fact that they're undermining millions of Jewish deaths in the process. Joking about the Holocaust in any context (yes, that very obviously includes making jokes about Hitler) never has and never will be funny. Maybe if your fucking balls dropped and you had even the slightest sense of maturity, you'd be able to acknowledge that.

Second of all, they entirely glaze over the fact that the Alfred's Playhouse series is centered around the dog, Alfred, being abused (most of the time sexually.) I'm not saying that it's unheard of for media to involve this topic in their work, it's okay for media to show the reality of how difficult sexual abuse is to recover from rather than sliding it under the rug, especially when it's made by victims to express their emotions or as a coping mechanism. All I'm saying is that it gets weird when damn near the ONLY thing this series provides for content is this dog being tormented. This isn't a one-off thing or something used to show character development and how this character deals with their trauma, the series is straight-up just this dog getting ACTUALLY violated damn near every episode and having a panic attack afterwards.

I'm going to dump a load of screenshots from the series here in case me explaining it wasn't enough, please take a good look at the trigger warnings again in case your sensitive to any of this shit. The series is public on Youtube, but I don't encourage you to watch it for yourself because it's just a shitload of demented garbage that isn't worth any of your time, I'm just being straight-up.

Feel free to skip to my conclusion if you don't want to see any of the screenshots, some of them are pretty fucking nasty.

Nazi Imagery

Self Harm

(Same artist, this is just more recent and polished work while the shittier and less polished animation is from years back.)

It gets a lot more nasty and graphic than this but I'm not going to show it, the spoiler is that it eventually leads to him falling flat unconscious.)

Sexual Assault and Abuse

This is an ongoing theme, the context is that his former owner sexually assaulted him using a popsicle and it's brought up repeatedly throughout the series.

And not to mention the subtle racism.

Conclusion

I think it's insane that Mp has the gall to pull the "I don't support the creator" card in this case. It's valid not to support a creator if they're fucked up, but when the source itself is fucked up it's an entirely different story. It's the same as people saying "separate the art from the artist." When both the art and the artist are the problem, that's when separating the two serves no purpose. To be blunt, it doesn't fucking matter if you don't support the creator or not, because the series itself is STILL demented, even putting the creator aside. Saying that you enjoy the series but don't support the creator is still weird because the SERIES ITSELF is weird. I also understand that this person never came upfront and said "I enjoy this series" but why the fuck else would you keep that shit on there if you know damn well what it is?

I felt the need to go so in-depth on this in particular because the response from this person was just so shitty and visibly half-assed, I couldn't help myself. I also (again,) just want people to know what this series is and why it's so fucked up. It's insensitive and overall just petty to keep that shit on your Rentry after acknowledging what it is. BARELY acknowledging, at that; as previously stated, Mp entirely ignored the fact that this series has constant illustrations of this animal being sexually abused, and only decided to address the Nazi shit that was mentioned because it's obviously only what seemed relevant to them, otherwise I'm sure they would have at least considered giving a well-needed elaboration.

This is just scraping the surface of this series, fyi.

Tldr; maybe consider taking that ugly ass dog out of your Rentry, because you're only embarrassing yourself and it makes you look more fucking weird than you already are.
