So out of pure bile fascination, I decided to watch a clip from Butch Hartman's Christian cartoon, The Garden Cartoon (yes that's what it's called) and apparently it has no problem promoting lust (one of the 7 deadly sins) because one of the characters is talking about how he deserves some action figure to be part of his collection. And I don't want to hear about how the episode is actually about joy from participating in the maze. The character has an action figure collection and the show doesn't point out that it is a problem (lust being one of the seven deadly sins and against the ten commandments means that it is a mortal sin to collect anything).

I can't believe that Butch Hartman is making this. He is free to do what he wants, but this feels like some Christian animation studio decided to copy his artstyle (which is actually copied from Dexter's Lab) to make their low-quality, direct-to-video cartoons to sell to Christian bookstores.
@PurpCat No, it goes deeper than that. Youtuber Saberspark exposed that he has connections to a cult-like organization known as the Seven Mountain Mandate, whose goal is to bring the second coming of Christ by infiltrating seven pillars of society with their interpretation of Christianity. Entertainment and Media is one of those pillars.
His wife also runs one of those alternative therapies where they just pray your condition away. They even claimed that they cured a child's autism through it.
@PurpCat Also it doesn't seem like Butch Hartman is even aware of that event. Someone recently asked him to sign an EGS poster and claimed that his son Randy drew it. Butch signed it and said that "Randy is pretty talented".

@PurpCat I don't know if they're fangirls, it seems like they're trolls. People have been trying to get Butch Hartman to bring up Randy Stair for years now either because they want his apology, want to hear his thoughts about it, or just want to fuck with him. Though I'm pretty sure that he either isn't aware of it or is just way too traumatized about the event that he doesn't want to talk or even think about it, but I don't get why it's a big deal. I mean iD Software had to bring up Columbine and their stance on it after it happened.
Anyway, most people who follow Butch Hartman don't seem to be aware of Randy Stair. Outside of lolcow circles, not many people were aware of it. It was really just another workplace shooting in some small town. Butch Hartman has been controversial over the years for other reasons, such as taking credit for other people's work, tracing other people drawings for commissions, "liking" Paul Joesph Watson and anti-SJW videos on YouTube, and probably the most egregious, openly joking about Mary Kate Bergman's (Timmy's VA for the Oh Yeah shorts) suicide on a podcast.
