You wanna know why animation isn't taken seriously and why adults liking cartoons is seen as a joke? It's because the animation fandom IS a fucking joke. It is one of the most toxic, vile, entitled, and ungrateful communities on the internet comprised of some of the worst excuses for human beings to ever live. Just a sampling of what they've done: >bullied a fan artist into near-suicide for drawing characters slightly skinnier than normal >rioted in the streets over sauce, harassing employees and stabbing people when they couldn't get any >bullied, harassed, and blackmailed writers and artists for writing mediocre SB episodes, drawing anything even slightly off-model, not making their ships canon, having character development, or just doing their fucking job >threw hissyfits for cartoons appealing to anyone outside the straight white male demographic by being racist, sexist, homophobic dickheads to crew members >ruined the name of an entire school because of a stupid and inaccurate meme, to the point where they had to close due to a shooting threat, and people tried to defend it as a joke >act like anime is superior despite being full of the same problems (filler, limited animation, every show looking the same, gratuitous fanservice and yaoi/yuri) >and yet after all that shit, they have the gall to claim creators are immature or lazy for asking they and their fellow man be treated with the most basic of respect
Places like this are why so many aspiring animators give up on their dreams. They are led to believe pursuing a career in animation is a pointless and self-defeating goal because idiots like you constantly put them down and will burn them at the stake for the most minor of offenses, or god forbid, making something you don't like! This board is a fucking disgrace, I wish humanity would just go extinct already since we've clearly outlived our usefulness and contributed nothing positive to the world.
that's only half of it. it isn't taken seriously because the justification for making animation at the end of the day is marketing it towards impressionable people that will buy things. children and people who never grew up.
animation is too expensive to be taking risks on and the really original stuff that get made only every few years? that doesn't make any money. that's fueled completely by love for the medium

Jesus Christ you've been making these threads for at least a year now. In that time you could've improved your animation skills instead of whining that Yea Forums doesn't like whatever you've made.

>I wish humanity would just go extinct already since we've clearly outlived our usefulness and contributed nothing positive to the world
You could make that dream a reality by starting with yourself.
Robert Reyes
>I wish humanity would just go extinct already There's a lot of reasons for people to wish that, and the animation community being toxic probably shouldn't be one of them.

>act like anime is superior despite being full of the same problems (filler, limited animation, every show looking the same, gratuitous fanservice and yaoi/yuri)
this needs to be said. don't get me wrong i love fanservice...but maybe it's because people get distracted by pretty pictures than actual animation and storytelling.
the weebs fall into japans trap.
but seriously though, calm the fuck down.
Noah Hill
or grow the fuck up and watch some live action dingus.
Harassment, stabbing, and shooting threats are considered having standards?

>bullied a fan artist into near-suicide for drawing characters slightly skinnier than normal This has happened years ago and I'm pretty sure people who did it didn't watch other cartoons than SU >rioted in the streets over sauce, harassing employees and stabbing people when they couldn't get any Same deal. Except no one stabben anyone. Bullshit. >bullied, harassed, and blackmailed writers and artists for writing mediocre SB episodes, drawing anything even slightly off-model, not making their ships canon, having character development, or just doing their fucking job Mr Enter released a bunch of videos where he sperged out over SB writers. Then some of his fans flooded one writer's account with insult. Pic related is literally it. Has nothign to do with ships, character development (what character development IS there in fucking Spongebob???) or blackmail. Bullshit. >threw hissyfits for cartoons appealing to anyone outside the straight white male demographic by being racist, sexist, homophobic dickheads to crew members ...wait, this is bait, right?.. >ruined the name of an entire school because of a stupid and inaccurate meme, to the point where they had to close due to a shooting threat, and people tried to defend it as a joke I haven't even heard of this one >act like anime is superior despite being full of the same problems (filler, limited animation, every show looking the same, gratuitous fanservice and yaoi/yuri) Has nothing to do with what you're talkig about >and yet after all that shit, they have the gall to claim creators are immature or lazy for asking they and their fellow man be treated with the most basic of respect Yeah, this is one mighty bait.
Live action is shit People like daron nefcy deserve to have their heads brokenin with a blunt instrument for their actions

So much of wht you said is wrong and clearly coming from a californian perspective.
Adrian Moore
Eh, I'd argue it's really because there's so little economic incentive for animation to be good. The market isn't large enough for more advanced animation to be a thing outside of a few powerhouses, and even that is typically relegated to theatrical releases. You're not going to encounter 101 Dalmations/Thief and the Cobbler/Fantasia tier animation on television because it's not financially sustainable.
Brody Hughes
These threads happen every other week. I assume its either one really pissed TTG underage (since they usually use angry TTG images), or someone who works on the show or a similar show and is frothing with rage because the internet isnt 100% supportive of what theyre doing.

Live action is less expressive than animation. That's why the new Dumbo movie shortened the Pink Elephants scene to one (1) minute, because they knew they couldn't compete with the original.
>Places like this are why so many aspiring animators give up on their dreams. If an amorphous of vaguely rude people who have nothing to do with one another outside of reacting to different animated media are enough to make you give up your idea, why is it you want to create anything in the first place?
