All the characters look like 3D sex dolls. AND THERE’S NO FUCKING ANIMATION. It’s just mouth-moving!
Also, the show is shit.
It’s nothing but a show about dudes forced to be stupid bimbos with no personalities and treated like stupid bimbos. They are not trans women. They are guys forced to be slaves. THAT’S SOMETHING OUT OF A FUCKING PORN COMIC ONLINE!
It’s not even funny or sexy. It’s just retarded.

This looks like a shitty fanfic that someone tried to make into a series only for it to be more shitty.

I agree.
On a related note.
Normally I don't give a damn about the whole cal-arts art trend at this point. There's nothing wrong with the style in of itself, and it's also one of the more overused styles.
And you know, I get it. Some people actually like it and simplicity tends to be the big rule with animation. Hence why Hanna-Barbera were the kings in making their art style relatively in line with what was going on in the 50's all the way into the 70's and early 80's until the game changed.
But there comes a point where you see too much of it and you either hate it or become indifferent to it.

My main criticism is that it low-keys represents corporate uniformity, as Cal-Art itself wants it's student to be both creative and conform, which apparently results in many artists who have a unique art style before they enter and end developing a rather uniform-like style when they graduate.

Wasn't the whole "Cal-Arts style" thing debunked years ago? I mean, most shows that fit into that stereotype only have a few bean face MCs and the rest of the character designs diverge from there. It's like saying the PPG style is just Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup. And it's not even like all bean-face shows are written by Cal-Arts graduates.
But I agree with it being corporate conformity. It even shows in the writing, with the protagonists being the same young, plucky and "make happy" archetype(that's probably too vague, but you get the point). Infinity Train was even cancelled for not wanting its 5th season to have a "child entry point".

Some people mentioned it before me, but my pick has to be The Problem Solverz. I think a lot of the shows mentioned before aren't really "the worst artstyle" but styles that people find really ugly on a subjective level. I'm a dude who loves shows with a weird artstyle so a lot of the time I end up being fine with a style that a bunch of people find super ugly. The issue with Problem Solverz is the super saturated colors makes knowing where I'm supposed to be looking super difficult. I feel my eyes constantly darting around the screen, and I feel like I sometimes miss important characters or gags because of all the visual noise. This show is not only ugly, but it's also impractical to watch which makes it the worst style in my book.

The "Cal-Arts style" is just a term coined by John K to describe any animations he didn't like, it somehow got to the point of "bean mouth round body bad" which is a separate issue
breadwinners is ugly as hell.
humor is just shit jokes (literally), art style makes me want to get bleach, and the voices of almost every character sounds like a posh asshole or annoying douchebag.

also, it looks much worse in motion, so keep that in mind.

Interesting question when put on this site. I sometimes wonder how folks put up with Frontpage slopimation.
There's a lot of conjecture about why ugliness is chosen for promotion. One would typically think studios are starved for talent, wherein the best work could be reproduced. It's like ugly is the lowest common denominator for the team of animators. Ugly is easy to remake. Maybe ugly is fast and easy, to cover for a better project's failures in scheduled releases.
What if these publishers want to starve the masses for the good shows? That's against the company's viewer-and-monetary interest, unless they're a captured institution by some other interest. Maybe there's an executive decision to make some shows like shit so others appear better. Content curation has been noted on youtube, for example, where most everyone agrees the popular stuff is obnoxious, yet it stays popular.
Maybe these shows are indicative that audiences don't know what they want, or that creators misinterpret what audiences want. What if the proliferation of ugly in shows like Problem Solverz is indicative of deliberate, closely measured quantities of what audiences are capable of tolerating? Maybe the studios want to know just how sloppy the quality can get before audiences leave? Adult Swim doesn't care much with their limited night-time viewership, and their quality is shit as demonstrated by a show like squidbillies. Maybe adults are more willing to tolerate ugliness for the expectation that the show is a comedy. Maybe these cartoons are looking to increase the audience's tolerances for shit, so producers can be more lazy yet still get the same viewership for their ad-twats. What if advertisements were more pretty than the shows?

Things like this never happen due to laziness. There's an unwillingness to invest more money into such shows so they had to distill it down into a style that was best suited to what their current animation infrastructure could handle on a budget.
Worst Artstyle? Problem Solverz. Secret Mountain Fort Awesome might be ugly as sin but they clearly took inspiration from old stoner comics from the 60s & 70s. Hell the nose guy looks like one of the Freak Brothers. But Problem Solverz on the other hand looks like the creation of someone who thinks stoner comedy is lolrandom & visual diarrhea. I was gonna joke and say that Problem Solverz was probably an Animation Domination HD reject, but I looked up the show's creator and it turned out that he actually worked on a few ADHD cartoons so I'm probably not far off.
Worst animation style? The way those cheap Canadian govt mandated YTV shows are animated. It might not be literal Flash/ToonBoom puppet rigging, but the way objects will ease and bounce when they move, it all just looks tweened. For what it's worth it has to be done for time & budget reasons, but the point still stands that it looks rough. The worst is when you can still notice it in a good show like Archer or Cuphead. It's like when a movie from this year has CG that looks like something out of a PS2 cutscene.

The concept of the show was interesting, but the character designs were ass. It's one of those shows that gets stale after about 4 episodes.
