@frameacloud @zebratron2084 I'd have much less objection to "Box of Kittens" and "Happy Colors" than "Two Cop Adventures" or "Too Many Cooks" or "People Hurt Themselves For Money" or "Judge This Person's Appearance" or most of the supposedly popular mainstream crap, which isn't just pointlessly nice, it's *actively evil*.
