Around a year ago, Disney showed off a teaser for their new upcoming animated series: Primos. And everyone hated it so much due to many insensitive aspects of it that Disney was pressured into delaying the show indefinitely with no word on its return. What happened to Primos, and what exactly led us here? How could a show that hasn't even seen an official release yet instantly become one of the most despised cartoons Disney have ever produced?

    Seriously. If the VA would have said "The main character has lost touch with her family roots and that's why she's making obvious mistake when she talks spanish" and boom! All the critics would have died down because it wasn’t much at first, just some point a bit icky.
  • Honestly I don’t think people talk enough about how UGLY the character designs look.
  • Thing's woulda been chill if that VA hadn't opened her big mouth and spouted nonsense that made everyone hate her
  • Wow. That VA's smirk is the most punchable thing I've seen in many, many years.
  • Disney didn’t allow Alex to even represent in Gravity Falls and is very strict on LGBTQ representation yet does this shit, this is genuinely insane.

    How does a show die before it even comes out? Thats impressive.

    I feel like Primos is the one time when social media discourse actually had a positive effect
  • @mutuma.
    The internet bullying Disney into not releasing a show is up there with it's best achievements
  • @sussy3778
    I'm still confused of what even was the point the voice actress was trying to make. If Spanish isn't a true Latin America language than what the hell are the characters supposed to speak? Aztec language? Is this what she means by saying they aren't Native Americans?
  • How did Dora The Explorer do it 10x better than this shot show?
  • @kingbash6466
    We live in a world where we have Dora, Maya & Miguel, El Tigre, ¡Mucha Lucha!, and the Book of Life. We've long past the need for Primos.

    Disney keeps making this stuff as if they’re going to have a FRACTION of the popularity of Dragon Ball Z in Mexico
  • Remember Egypt suing Netflix for that awful Cleopatra “documentary”, I say Spain and every Latin American country should do the same against Disney for butchering the Spanish language!
  • I think the moment that sealed Primos’ fate is the fact that the show uses the incorrect version of Primos in the theme song and when pointing them out, the show’s VA acted like the people pointing out legitimate incorrect Spanish were trying to troll her. It’s like people are so worried about protecting their political egos they don’t even register when they make a major mistakes in representation, especially when it’s not even their culture. 💀

    I think people need to work on not trying to find random people to blame and harass and just focus on critiquing the show because how the hell did the phineas and ferb creator get involved 😭
  • @Dr._Nicolas
    The part that boils my blood is when she talks about language, how tf is their faul that they speak spanish and what do you spect them to do? travel in time? unlearn spanish?
  • @O.D25
    Let‘s face it, Cartoonshi will never escape the bane of his existence: Cartoons about the hijinks of way too large families living in the same house.
  • Tbh I blame the VA for all of this. While Earthquake heights can be rather tonedeaf, other things like the broken spanish or the "steriotypical" names can be easily explained (the protag is like 12 and had nevet spoken the language and those are still fucking names) BUT NOOOOO. This fucking VA with an overblown superiority complex had to come to polarize everyone into hating the show more than they should, because obviously reading a few lines makes you automatically superior, dont they🫠

    My sister and I are half-Mexican, and we turned the voice actor's response into a meme.
