For all things Futurama

Rule 1: Don't be a jerkwad!

We tuned in expecting jokes and space hijinks.

What we got… was Seymour.

This wasn’t just a cartoon episode. It was a punch to the soul.

No dialogue. No manipulation. Just one dog… waiting.

Futurama showed us that animated stories could hit harder than real life.

Some of us still aren't over it.

Why did you make an almost blank post? All I see it the word Futurama, and I know there were no soul scaring episodes in that. None at all. No way.

Bold of you to post this in a Jurassic Bark world. That dog waited. He waited. You may not have felt it… but millions of us were never the same after that sidewalk fadeout.

It’s wild that racism had to be parenthesized—as if it was just a side note. That word shaped decades of “normal” entertainment. This isn’t just nostalgia; it’s unmasking the blueprint.

No, it was just the convention of putting (nsfw) after a link to avoid getting banned, except that specific abbreviation didn't seem like the right one.
