The Tooniverse

Terrance Stamper (or Terry) is an indie game developer who has just released “Trauma Jester”; a game about a woman-turned-jester who finds herself inside of a digital nightmare that’s ruled by a pair of teeth. The game is a hit and we see that the game has quickly gained a strong following; people are already making fan art, Be-Bop (TikTok) videos and cosplays about its characters. Terry is elated at how much love his fanbase is giving to his first game and he decides to create a Birdie (Twitter) account so he can keep his fans up to date with Trauma Jester, when the game developer asks his fans to give the game constructive criticism Rupert (a black-haired eight year old boy) tells him that Pammi’s skin should be white as snow instead of Caucasian since the character’s digital body shouldn’t look too human. Terry’s fans start attacking the boy for what he said about Pammi and Terry reminds himself that there are bad eggs in every fandom, Dobson (a chubby man who loves inflation art) then proceeds to threaten the boy with harm if he ever sees him in public.

Later in the day we see Rupert sitting on a bench in a park and as Dobson walks by he spots the boy, Dobson then confronts Rupert and he proceeds to cut the boy’s face for what he perceives as racism against Pammi. Rupert goes on his Birdie account and he starts talking about what Dobson did to him for offering constructive criticism, Terry then gets upset by what Dobson did so he tells his fans to not attack others over differing opinions. The Alternate Delta Force arrives at the world and the heroic team decides to stay on the world for the time being as the place seems too peaceful, the scene then cuts to the inside of a house and Cassie (a chubby Trauma Jester fan) decides to cosplay as one of the game’s characters known as “Dollora” despite her own weight. Meanwhile on Birdie we see that Terry has submitted profiles for some Trauma Jester characters; Minister is a sentient chess piece with large muscles and Dollora is an optimistic plastic doll.
