Errors

Critical reception

This garnered negative attention due to the girls twerking, which means they were shaking their butts about in a fairly promiscuous manner. What's worse, is that co-writer/storyboarder Julia Vickerman was later outed as a pedophile in 2019, with her now (now deleted) posts on Twitter and Tumblr about swooning over underage boys being brought to light.
