Cartoon Network targets Boys (cuz Girls don't watch cartoons apparently...)

...This Variety article discusses Cartoon Network's new game plan: target young male viewers:

"Turner Animation prexy Stu Snyder and Rob Sorcher, Cartoon's recently hired chief content officer, have set their sights on male teens and tweens in their sweeping overhaul of the cabler.

They're hoping to stanch the flow of young viewers leaving the network for Disney and Nick, but they're also trying to rebuild the net as "the home for boys," in Snyder's words (though he quickly adds that he hopes the female aud sticks around for shows like Cartoon's new comedy "Chowder")."



Um, what? Have these guys ever been on Deviantart, fanfiction.net or hell, even Youtube.com? Check out all those AMVs!!

I meet more female fans of Avatar and Danny Phantom than I meet male fans. O_o; Am I just hallucinating the hoards of cartoon/anime fangirls on the internet and at the anime conventions?

Aren't they a crowd that spends money too?

Yeesh! Make me spend my money! If it means I get awesome cartoons right on! Besides...It'll help the economy too.

Still the commentary to the first link brings up a few good points.

One: girls will watch boy shows, but no boys will want to watch girl shows.

Solution: OH SHUDDUP, my little brother, a fan of metal music, LOVED Fruits Basket. Also, Society stop being so afraid of your boys turning gay! I didn't choose to be straight, and yet I am! If its meant to be, it will be. Letting them watch "girly" shows isn't going to make any more or less gay. OY!

Two: Disney and Nick seem to be competing for a monopoly on the girl market what with shows like Hannah Montanna, Raven, High School Musical, Jonas Brothers, Kim Possible, ect...Cartoon Network's just going to NOT compete with them and specialize in boy's entertainment.

Solution: I kinda get it from a business stance. They want to narrow down their resources and focus on just one group of possible clients, but in that case...PLEASE CHANGE YOUR NAME. Cartoon Network should be a haven to ALL genders, not stand for a channel that will only target boys. Are you trying to support the notion that cartoons aren't for girls??

Hm, and really, what the hell is Chowder about? Ya think girls don't want intricate, well thought out, and with good flowing action animation series??

Geeze, just make good cartoons, don't worry about who they'll target. 9_9

EDIT: sorry about that! could've sworn my links were fine! hope it works now...

Why are you wasting your time with Cartoon Network anyways. Just like all the other networks its going to have stupid reality shows and unfunny or unintresting programming. Since cartoon network already has the unintresting programming it wont be long before we see a reality show or two.

This is why I rather pay money to buy the DVD's.

By the way, those so called 'boy shows' won't guarntee u becoming str8 as well! I grew up with all the masked riders, ultramen, transformers, he-man, gundams, marcorss/robotech, counteless super robots and super sentai shows and I am still a loud proud queer feminie queen :XD:

yeah! I totally agree with you jbsan. if girls didn't like cartoons like they are suggesting thne why so many damn fangirls?? And my school has more girl animaters and 3d chicks than boys. In fact most of the girls are better than the boys. All the teachers say it.
Well either way this opens my eyes and makes me think twice about pitching my girl story to them. Most of my shows have girl heros.

This bothers me. I don't understand why they are being so stupid as to think that their network is loosing viewers because there aren't enough "male" centric shows. The reaon they are loosing viewers is because they aren't focusing on making interesting and innovative NEW cartoons. What the hell is Chowder and The Exciting Adventures of Flapjack? They're just dumbed down Spongebob rip offs, think of something interesting and then maybe we'll watch your network more, jeez. Most of the people I know who watch cartoons are female. They enjoy Avatar and Naruto as much if not more than the boys do. But try telling that to Matel, thery don't make female action figures for Avatar even though Katara, Toph, Suki, Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee are most of the kick ass characters in the show. They don't think girls will buy action figures and they certainly don't think that boys will buy female acton figures because they're "dolls." But they're being idiots because most of the fans of shows like Avatar and Naruto graduated grade school long ago and are too old to care if something is "girly" or not. I know that when I got and Aang action figure for my 16th birthday I was dissappointed it wasn't Katara.
