Hey should I still watch gumball after this? I’m gonna tell u what happened and i want u to tell me

Sure, go ahead and tell me what happened, and I'll help you decide whether or not you should continue watching Gumball!

Do u know who I mean by gumball

Yes, I'm familiar with "The Amazing World of Gumball." It's an animated television series that follows the adventures of a young blue cat named Gumball Watterson and his family and friends in the fictional city of Elmore. What happened that you're considering in relation to watching the show?

Well I saw this vid the last week of one of Gumballs voice actor, Nicholas Cantu, and Dream, a popular YouTuber (which I think you know of…) fighting in an Uber. So apparently, based on the video, Dream was at a birthday party at one of his friends house. And Nicholas happened to be there as well. He was very drunk, and he was also underage in drinking. Nicholas walked up to him and said hello. Dream knew nothing about Nicholas, nor were they friends, so they exchanged hellos and it was that. Then a few minutes later Dream was on an FaceTime with one of his friends, when out of the blue, Nicholas punched dream in the face. Don’t know what else happened after that (I’m watching the vid from dreams official channel, and he didn’t say what happened afterward, I’m going based off his information since he was the one that experienced this, obviously..) but an hour later, Dream and some other people left at the party decided to get an Uber because it was late. So him and 3 other people got in the Uber. One of those people were Nicholas. He sat in the front, dream in the middle and the other 2 on his right & left. Nicholas dropped his phone out the window bc he was acting… drunk and didn’t know what he was doing. So the Uber had to had pulled over and Nicholas got out and looked for it (it was late at night reminding you again.) and then the police showed up and stopped him from looking because it was too dangerous and he could get injured. Then the Uber driver conviced Nicholas to leave. Then got back in the car, the Uber driver gave advice to Nicholas on how he could had gotten arrested by the police, and he certainly didn’t like that. So he called him r word, told him he had Down syndrome. Telling him how far did he go in his education. All that nasty stuff. Also in the vid, it was said he called him the Nono word, because the Uber driver is black. So then dream stepped in and started to defend the Uber driver, telling Nicholas “who cares?” Then Nicholas got mad at Dream, and went on a rampage at him. He literally threatened at dream “you’re either going to paralyzed or dead.” He also had called him the f word (if you replace the m in maggot with an f, yeah, that’s the word.) Then the next dayyy went by and Nicholas actually texted dream, “apologizing” that he was sorry, he was drunk, he has autism and a neurodivergent disorder and that he’s going through a rough time, he could tell that dream was a decent human, yadadadada. Then he posted on twitter “when you are a actual pdf you can’t joke about being a pdf” because dream had gotten lots of rumors at that time that he was a groomer (he wasn’t btw it was just a bad rumor that spread.) he also wanted him dead, which means his “apology” was false. So yeah after dream shared his experiences with Nicholas, he denied it all and said he was lying. He said that he tipped the Uber driver a lot of money bc he knew he was wrong for what he did to him (which, was false.) among other stuff. And that’s basically the bottom line. I don’t know what else happened from there. But that’s all he provided in the video.

I don’t know whether to watch him or not bc I don’t like that. I mean I grew up with gumball ever since I was 7, I’m 15 now, but his behavior was beyond unacceptable. Like he was acting like a jerk. I know Gumball isn’t a real person and stuff, but his voice actor for him makes me.. I don’t know. I love the cartoon, but not what he did. What do you think? Should I still watch it?

It's understandable to feel conflicted about continuing to watch "The Amazing World of Gumball" after hearing about the behavior of Nicholas Cantu, who voices Gumball. It's important to remember that actors and their characters are separate; Gumball as a character is still the same regardless of the personal actions of his voice actor.

Here are a few points to consider in making your decision:

  1. Separate the Art from the Artist: Many people choose to separate an artist's personal behavior from their work. Gumball is a beloved character, and the show has brought joy to many viewers.

  2. Impact of the Behavior: Consider how Nicholas's actions affect your enjoyment of the show. If you find it difficult to enjoy the series due to his behavior, it might be worth taking a break.

  3. Personal Values: Reflect on your personal values and how they align with what you've heard. If you feel that supporting the show despite the controversy feels wrong to you, it's okay to step back.

  4. Growth and Apologies: It's also worth considering whether you believe in the possibility of personal growth or redemption. Nicholas's apology, regardless of its sincerity, might suggest he's aware of his mistakes.

Ultimately, the decision is yours. If you still love Gumball and the show itself brings you happiness, you might choose to continue watching. If not, it's perfectly fine to move on or take a break. Do what feels right for you!

But also there’s another thing. Not related to Cantu but with the show. Can I tell u?

Of course! Feel free to share what's on your mind about the show, and I'll do my best to help you with your thoughts.

Well idk if that’s the official TAWOG twitter account (there’s a check mark but I don’t know if it’s real or not) but i saw a tweet of one of theirs that said “this is more funny when you find out Darwin is black” because the VA of him is black. And in the tweet, it showed the episode of when him and gum ball took care of that little slimy monster thingy from a concoction they made and Darwin didn’t want to, so he said “I’m going to the store, to get some uhh, milk.” Something along those lines, and I think whoever that was that posted it was saying bc black fathers don’t take care of their children and stuff and often leave the mothers, causing why they are what they are today. Which I think is.. racist. I don’t know what to feel about that. I didn’t even bother reading the comments on that.

It's completely valid to feel uncomfortable or conflicted about that tweet and the implications behind it. If the tweet you mentioned does indeed make an allusion to a stereotype about Black fathers and parenthood, it can definitely come across as offensive and perpetuates harmful stereotypes.

Here are a few thoughts on how to approach this situation:

  1. Recognizing Stereotypes: It’s important to recognize when something reinforces negative stereotypes, regardless of the context. Jokes based on racial stereotypes can be damaging and contribute to broader societal issues.

  2. Cultural Sensitivity: Humor can sometimes cross the line into insensitivity. If the intent behind a joke is to poke fun at a cultural or racial issue, it can alienate and hurt individuals from that community.

  3. Official Accounts: If you’re unsure whether it's the official Twitter account, it may be worth investigating. Official accounts typically have a checkmark and share verified content. Regardless, even if it were a fan account, it can still affect how people perceive the show.

  4. Considering Impact: Reflect on how this fits into your overall perception of the show. If it makes you uncomfortable, it’s okay to reevaluate your connection to the series as a whole.

Ultimately, the decision to continue watching or engaging with "The Amazing World of Gumball" is yours. If you find that the content or the discussions surrounding the show conflict with your values, it’s perfectly legitimate to step back or reconsider your relationship with it. Keeping the conversation about representation and appropriateness going is important.

Do u think that’s acceptable

No, making jokes or comments that rely on harmful stereotypes, such as the idea that Black fathers are absent from their children's lives, is not acceptable. Such statements can perpetuate negative views and reinforce societal prejudices, which is damaging to individuals and communities. Humor that relies on stereotypes often overlooks the complexity of people's realities and can contribute to misunderstanding and discrimination.

In the context of a show's official or unofficial social media, it’s important for those involved to be mindful of the messages they're conveying. Jokes that could be seen as perpetuating stereotypes are not only inappropriate but can also alienate viewers, especially those from marginalized groups.

It's completely reasonable and valid to feel uneasy about statements like this and to question their appropriateness. Engaging critically with media and its messaging is essential in fostering a more inclusive and respectful dialogue around issues of race and representation. If this kind of commentary makes you uncomfortable, it's worth discussing and advocating for more thoughtful representations in media.
