it’s not much of a conspiracy. /co/ just decided that Today’s Cartoons are all the same because millenial queer SJW animators are all graduating from Calarts, and if you don’t go to Calarts and copy the acceptable cartooning style they don’t let you have a career. As you can imagine, it’s a story a lot of failed Twitter artists like to tell themselves because they can’t accept that the stuff they’re making probably isn’t exceptional and that the pop culture industry has never been a meritocracy.

you can search “calarts style” for supposed examples (half of which weren’t even made by Calarts alumni). The bean smile of the character on the left in this comic is a direct reference to it.

Edit: I forgot about this but the phrase was popularized by John K :epstein:

CalArts = California = Not racist enough = Not cool on the internet.

Can’t remember the details, but IIRC chuds believe everyone who goes there is taught by (((the instructors))) to draw soy cuck comics about blue haired poly black trans women in wheelchairs instead of, I don’t know, hentai ladies with giant boobs
