Two opposite sketches

I've been cleaning up some in my studio, and here are some sketches which I'm not going to finish but I thought were worth sharing, especially because of their cultural contrast:

 

This one is of characters created by Rawle Nyanzi. Some years ago, he had an idea of book reviews done through very short fiction: these girls belong to an interdimensional religious order dedicated to fighting evil; they would travel into the worlds of the books being reviewed to aid the heroes thereof. I thought it a fun idea, but sadly I can't find the original posts nor do I remember the characters' names.

Nyanzi is a champion of independent fiction against woke corporatism, though efforts such as these reviews and also Brand Zero, dedicated to not giving money or publicity through discussion or even criticism of corporate IPs that are infected with SJWism. "Don't give money to people who hate you." 

The second sketch is from something quite the opposite:

Gravity Falls-- I enjoyed this show quite a bit; the environments were lavishly wondrous and evocative, it was very funny and did a great job of building suspense. But it was definitely made by those "people who hate you", West-coast progressives who are likely to think everyone who voted for President Trump should be imprisoned or worse and that the source of all evil is straight white Christian males.

And this did hobble it, story-wise. The scene I was sketching is the "zodiac" moment, when twelve characters are revealed to have been destined via mysterious symbols, recurring throughout the series, to harness a power to defeat the monstrous villain. They join hands--and are instantly thwarted, rendering the whole setup pointless, in an example of typical "subversion of expectations" i.e. kneecapping your own dramatic momentum. While not at first glance connected to any social justice issue, this is something woke stories love to do. Cf. Disney Star Wars, Homestuck, etc.

There was also an out-of-nowhere, out-of-place in a children's show, too vitriolic to be funny, attack on Game and pickup artists, and the entire show was from an overwhelmingly Gamma male feminist perspective-- self-aware at times, which does make for good comedy, but never transcended.

So while I don't follow Brand Zero, I certainly have no regrets about leaving this sketch unfinished.
