god i hate how toxic the cartoon fandoms are on twitter. nothing but scumbags or assholes fighting each other about how "these old cartoons are way better than calarts" when we should literally just be accepting of cartoon tastes and just make whatever creators want to make. It makes me want to create a rant video but it'll look cringe since I'm not good at doing commentaries.
Animation is an artform. It evolves, you can make stuff inspried by the golden age, go for it. Don't force everyone else to do it or act better than everyone else with it though. I know not every fan is like that, but seeing back and forth from people around that John K respcter troll (are they a troll, i don't even know, it feels so legitimate not to be a troll due to how far it's gone, but I've heard it is, still very toxic) and their supporters and people who are into modern day animation. Animation is allowed to evolve into other styles outside of where it started. That's what art is supposed to do, evolve into different styles. It doesn't mean you can't keep doing older styles of an artform, you know.
It just really annoys me and it's why I shouldn't even bother with it. It also makes me just not want to even pursue it since it just feels like an industry where everyone fucks the creator over, or you have to deal with a few weirdos or scumbags who didn't want to get mental help before it was too late and before pursuing their dream job.

Okay, I'm glad I'm another exception. Opinion wars are just stupid. It makes me glad I'm an opinion respecter. We've all got different tastes, I'm not going to be a big crybaby just because somebody prefers Tom and Jerry or Bugs Bunny to Uncle Grandpa or Amphibia. I respect their opinion - but to be honest, I'm a guy who likes the best of both worlds. I like older stuff AND new stuff. Classic cartoons, newer stuff, anime and European stuff can all coexist peacefully, I think, but it's darn near impossible these days with flamewars going around social media about opinions.
Reading this makes me glad I only intend to use Twitter for what I think is a pretty healthy use of social media - I only intend to use it to get answers to questions that've been bugging me, in the event that it'd be quicker to ask certain people on Twitter or if it seems like the only way.
I wish I could go on, but I can't - I honestly don't wanna feel like I'm making you boiling mad by saying the *wrong* thing.
