Part of me wants to again rant about Young Justice Outsiders while the other is just done with it. I don't know if it is actually possible to be traumatized from a tv show or a cartoon to be more precise but even the slightest thought about it kinda triggers me.
The fandom, at least here on Twitter, is terrible. Except a handful of people everybody says that the season more or less is a masterpiece, so stunning and amazing and couldnât been any better.
I mean, we all know that the VLD fandom isn't the best, but at least there I made the experience that you can have "civil" (in quotations because we know it's not true, just saying it for the sake of the argument) debates about what was good, bad and in-between.
Like I can easily say what I liked about season 8 and what not, what was okay and what not and someone would come to agree or disagree or after some talk agrees to disagree while understanding my point.
While YJ's fandom appears to be fragile and afraid of saying anything actual negative about it in fear of the show again being cancelled (to exaggerate things). These people without any hesitation binge watch the three seasons over and over and over and over and over to the +
point where they can most likely can recite every single line of the an episode.
"Keep binging #YoungJustice to keep it trending!" they say while having their third season on a US only streaming service, cutting off the rest of the fandom around the world.

But let's not focus on the marketing and distribution, especially not on the "three episodes for four weeks, then half a year pause and then release the second half" concept. So instead of have people talk about it for twelve weeks with one episode per week, you have them talk +
about it for four weeks and then maybe another four before it vanishes again. While you also keep everything about it locked down and don't tell anything to anyone because #NoSpoilers. Phantasizing about people rewatching the same twelve episodes for six to seven months straight.
Especially when you had 18 out of 26 episodes ready, means that you could have go for eighteen weeks releasing episodes while finishing the rest. That way you could have kept it fresh, make every Friday "Young Justice Friday" for example. Something to look forward to just as I +
looked forward to the next Voltron episode every day and between season 6, 7 and 8.
Now back to this terrible, just terrible season.

growing up superheroes who were confronted with world changing events, family conflicts, personal conflicts and problems, relationships and break-up, using people for their own well-being (looking at you M'gann), developing and breaking friendships, turned into something +
I can't find the words for.
Characters who add nothing to the plot, who just stand there without doing or saying anything, appearing to be absolutely superficial without any depth.
For example, Arrowette, Spoiler and Orphan, who are they? Who are these three characters? What

For example, Arrowette, Spoiler and Orphan, who are they? Who are these three characters? What
is their purpose in the story? How does what they do affect the story in any way? Do they have any influence to any of the characters? Do they matter at all? Or are they just three female characters thrown with no additional thought wasted on them? Honestly, tell me anything
about these characters, I am curious.
Or Traci Thirteen, or Thirteen or whatever her name is. She appeared in two episodes as far as I remember and that's it. And in those episodes she is shown as hero who has not yet mastered her powers or that she is someone's girlfriend. +

Speaking of girlfriend, or girlfriends, one major issue I have with Outsiders is that everyone has a girlfriend, or everyone is banging someone. Like I really needed to know that Conner and M'gann do it under the shower or that Jeff is banging Doctor Jace (think that's her +
name, I don't know and I don't care).
"Oh but there are also two men and girls kissing!" I can hear you say, thinking that I was not aware that Young Justice has gays and lesbians.
I am aware of Kaldur and Wynnde, as I am (unfortunately) aware of Violet and Harper.

Especially the latter makes me sigh in absolute distaste.
Okay we have two girls, one of them later confirmed to be a nonbinary person, who both have boyfriends, drink and then kiss. I know, something like that of course happens in real life but why I ask has your first

between two girls has to be like this?
Is it so hard to write two girls develop a romantic relationship in a healthy way instead of them just kissing and one of them saying "Like I care that I have a boyfriend."?

Oh and Kaldur and Wynnde kissing in one frame at the end of an episode and then never again? Just "cuddle" in the final episode in one frame? Oh come on.
Even a newbie fanfic writer can do that better.

Then you have this social media thing where Beast Boy comes up with " #WeAreAllOutsiders" which is repeated again and again and again and again over and over and over. It's the fictional equivalent to #KeepBingingYoungJustice only with the difference that the ficional version is +
"trending" while the real life version is embarrassing regarding to what I earlier said about the show being limited to one country ONLY.
Another point is the revelation that everything the mass amount of characters did was all part of Batman's, Nightwing's and Aquaman's (Kaldur) plan. Using friends and comrades as pawns what later causes a major conflict because it's also revealed that M'gann played part in this +
as well tricking Garfield into rescuing a girl that was actually her in shape shift.
It's just as what happened in the second season, only now with Batman, the "I am better than all of you" egomaniac as the one pulling the strings. +

Then you have everything happened to Halo, or the scene where Victor becomes Cyborg and that overall feeling that nothing really happened in any episode, that there was no focus on anything and I was left with the question "Did anything happen? Like anything?"
I am so tired of this show. One of my favorite shows turned a massive disappointment that left with nothing but a sour taste in my mouth and pure spite. I don't want to talk about this anymore.
Young Justice became a bad show and for that I hate it.
The end.
