University of Washington Professor: Spongebob Squarepants Is a "Racist" "Colonizing" "Whitewashing" the Atomic-Bomb Oppression of The Bikini Atoll

There is a silly fan theory -- not part of the actual show-- that Spongebob Squarepants is from the Bikini Atoll, which was the site of many atomic and hydrogen bomb tests in the fifties and sixties. The theory suggests that this explains the strange creatures on the show -- mutants from decades of radiation.

It's all silly.

But a University of Washington professor decides an internet fan theory/joke is real, and that the show is therefore about the White Colonization of the Marshall Islands via nuclear testing.


“Billions of people around the globe are well-acquainted with SpongeBob Squarepants and the antics of the title character and his friends on Bikini Bottom. By the same token, there is an absence of public discourse about the whitewashing of violent American military activities through SpongeBob’s occupation and reclaiming of the bottom of Bikini Atoll's lagoon. SpongeBob Squarepants and his friends play a role in normalizing the settler colonial takings of Indigenous lands while erasing the ancestral Bikinian people from their nonfictional homeland,” reads the abstract for Barker’s piece.

Barker’s abstract asserts that SpongeBob has colonized Bikini Bottom -- the underwater home to the lovable characters -- and claims the cartoon is "whitewashing" the "violent American military activities" against natives on Pacific islands, specifically the Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, used by the U.S. military for nuclear testing:


This article exposes the complicity of popular culture in maintaining American military hegemonies in Oceania while amplifying the enduring indigeneity (Kauanui 2016) of the Marshallese people, who maintain deeply spiritual and historical connections to land -- even land they cannot occupy due to residual radiation contamination from US nuclear weapons testing -- through a range of cultural practices, including language, song, and weaving. This article also considers the gendered violence of nuclear colonialism and the resilience of Marshallese women.

This ignorant, drug-addled Cluster B twat then turns to "the gendered violence of nuclear colonialism."

Via Tim Pool.

Tim Pool rebuts that the starfishes, sponges, and animals that make up the Spongebob Squarepants cast were "indigenous" to the Marshall Islands long before the Marshall people -- the racist, speciesist colonizers -- colonized the indigenous sponge-lands.

Animation used to try at least to be cute or visually appealing until
Ren and Stimpy came along and was deliberately as ugly and nasty looking
as possible. And every animation studio since then has piled on except
in anime.


Animation was filmed at 12 frames per second. Then they started filming it at 2 frames per second, which looked simply awful. That's when I gave up on it. Cheap bastages...

302 "duck tales" was not only a good cartoon, it was some of the best tv at the time: first rate cinema quality animation, well crafted stories packing a movie into 30 minutes, smart and buoyantly good natured.

unfortunately, instead of rerunning that show, disney has replaced it with an ugly, dark, choppy version that's charmless and unwatchable. of course, it's p.c. and promotes girl ducks as the leaders.

Hanna-Barbera's animation was crap. It only looks sort of good because of all the worse crap that came after.

Grad school papers. The papers were unreadable because everyone was trying to sound "scholarly." When you asked them to explain whatever point they were trying to make, they couldn't. They had just grabbed a thesaurus and stuck in big words.

Yeah, this was before widespread use of computers. I'm 29. Get off my lawn.

When I was in grad school, I occasionally read my papers to my parents, who were somewhat intellectual. I used lots of big words.

I cringe with embarrassment at those memories.

369 One of the marks of woke academic papers is made-up words and inscrutable language. Probably because they know what they are saying is crap and they are trying to distract from that with word salad.

It's intellectual penis envy of the STEM subjects. STEM papers are impenetrable to non-cognoscenti because they deal with matters that are not in common experience, and that therefore necessitate new terms.

The social "sciences" and humanities deal with matters that are familiar to everyone, and that therefore do not intrinsically necessitate new terms. But in the absence of adducing any new insights, they instead resort to unnecessarily convoluted jargon to obscure their intellectual poverty.

370 Joker cost 50 million to make. It's made 550 million so far. Just goes to show that the people in charge of DC Universe are completely fucking it all up.
DC could easily create realistic movies within a universe for very little money compared to these crap blockbusters costing 200 plus million to make.

I travel alot. I've been watching Gotham on Netflix in hotels - just that level of quality could have saved the franchise.

Also, the drawing staff, particularly at the early Disney studios, were classically trained - particularly in character motion, there is a good YouTube video of one of the animation staff showing the various forms of motion they learned - its not easy and the pay I imagine wasn't great, but these guys were some of the best in the industry and had side jobs doing pretty difficult ad work. Some of this type of complex ad work was highlighted by James Lileks - he understood the work needed to produce this type of stuff - lost art now.

372 Lastly - the studios and production teams that produced the old cartoons employed a large contingency of female colorists who painted, painstakingly, every cell. Not easy work, and the pay, again, during the depression, was pretty dismal. Amazing.

373 Yep, scientific-type fields have legitimate jargon, but at least a good writer should be understandable to others in the field.

Yep. The problem with STEM subjects generally is that the subjects compound rapidly. The material in week 2 depends critically on the material presented in week 1. And so on.

That's why it is essentially not possible to pull an all nighter and do well; you'd be lucky to pass.

In the arts, say, in literature, you can do that. You can have read a few of the texts, skim the others the night before (to learn the essence of the plot, the issues, and the names of the characters), add a dash of glibness, and you're away.

Note that there are no Cliff Notes in STEM subjects. None.

That's a sign of your subsequent intellectual development from the larval form. Everyone is embarrassed by his dissertation; things that were revelatory conceptual insights in one's 20s are painfully obvious later.

377 Damn I miss Flapjack. What a trove of sexist, homophobic, selenophobic, round-eyed, ageist, ableist, addiction-shaming hilarity that was in its short, happy life.

379 These stupid fairy stories about atomic mutants and such nonsense really torques my scrote. Don't people recognize romance and adventure anymore? What youth of today knows Captains Courageous or Wuthering Heights? Sad.

380 I was an English major in college and quickly moved into doing graduate level seminars (by Sophomore year). First one was a Chaucer seminar;I had to do a substantial research paper.By the time I finished it (and this was late 1960s) I was so appalled at the types of articles published in "scholarly" literary journals that I gave up on going to grad school and decided to do something quite different. (However, the late 60s female grad students did make up for the lost scholarly opportunity!). I cannot imagine just how bad it must be now.

381 Bikini Bottom is...what's the word...oh, yeah--a joke!

This would be funny too, if this nut didn't have a taxpayer-funded gig and access to Other People's Children.

She lives in a pineapple under psychiatric observation. Or should.
