Does anyone here even like cartoons? It feels like anons here despise animators and animation as a whole

Haters will always be over represented because they tend to be the most vocal and frequent posters. The same really goes for all social media. Hate also tends to generate more activity.

I tend to only really talk about stuff I like, so these days I mostly just lurk and don't talk about cartoons much since most of the current stuff doesn't really interest me.
Plus, I'm not autistic enough to be a shipper, so even if I was into these shows, I doubt there'd be much for me to discuss here.

I fucking love cartoons, I just don't like most animation that's been produced recently.

My favorite cartoons are Spider-man TAS and JLU, and I am currently watching Gargoyles since I have only ever seen a few episodes back in the day.
I don't think ive watched a cartoon that come out after 2010.

You're not wrong. However, this board (and, by extension, this website) is a shambling corpse. What else is there to do?

That's the problem. It's almost all been wokeshit for the last 10-15 years. "We keep making wokeshit and people keep hating us. We can't figure it out."

the wokeshit problem won't be solved because it's actually cultural imperialism in disguise and most anti-woke tards are indeed retards and they are imperialists too

No, nobody does. Everyone here doesn't actually have any thoughts of their own. 4chan is dominated by elder millenials who were never socially successful and are desperate to appear intelligent because that's all they really have. They also grew up in a particular moment in the culture where being cynical was associated with being smart. Since most people here aren't actually smart, in fact they're retarded, they double down on cynicism to help shore up the illusion.
This will only get worse as time goes on, for a couple of reasons. First off because one of the other things these people took solace in was the idea that they were part of cutting-edge youth culture. But they've gotten old and culture has passed them by, so now they need to be even more cynical than before. Also, most of the people who had some semblance of intelligence matured and left this place, leaving behind the most retarded of the retards.
So yes, this entire website, on every board, is dominated by increasingly old, bitter retarded faggots who think that pretending to hate everything makes them look smart. They are incapable of genuinely enjoying anything and that's why you can't have any good conversations on these boards anymore.

Personally I've become disillusioned as of late when someone started console warrior bullshit between Gumball and TADC, because one had "Amazing" in their title until four months ago and the other has "Amazing" in their title currently.
And there's room for banter, like when we learned of the news, but unprompted seethe about Gumball four months later because I called TADC "Digital Circus" is genuinely deranged. I wasn't even trying to be dismissive of TADC either but to be met with such vitriolic autism for such a basic post really makes me question the purpose of this place.
It's a fucking circlejerk of cynicism that spiraled way out of control, people can't just enjoy something and leave it at that. They have to fucking use what they like in an attempt to bring something else down.
There's nothing wrong with like TADC. There's nothing wrong with disliking Gumball. But this was the point where absurdity took grip when the most superficial reasons are being used to cause discord. There's coming to an understanding despite hardships but this is just taking on hardship without ever wanting to come to an understanding because the lust of anger has consumed them. It's fucking demented.

They were mean to me during a formative period in my life so some animators out there have to deal with a vast backlash from me & all my cool meritorious projects. Just how it is

also Punch Punch Forever is fucking great.
>>151065660
yeah this. things i like are ruined. By basically everything. The 90s was a blip, an anomaly. we'll never have it again, and... we're beginning to realize we never should have. we worked everyone from korean slave animators to theatrical actors to the BONE with 16-18 hour workdays, so we could have a new episode every week.
>>151066280
it's different when we do it. wanting what you've never had before and don't deserve is psychopathy, wanting what you used to have and everything was fine is called not rolling over and taking it.

Punch Punch Forever is surprisingly competently produced and actually good, and it's such a portrait of the art scene where the artist needs to comission porn to sponsor his own creative productions. Godspeed Speedoru

I like space king and sauria.
I like a lot of fan animations and claymation.

I just don't like what the studios keep pushing, they just aren't good. Hell even when they are supposed to be good they shit the bed just look at Gendy shitting the bed with Samurai Jack not having the fight vs the Guardian and Primal going full retard instead of just more dinosaur adventures.

If people make threads about old shit I enjoy I'll talk about it, but the new shit I have tried to watch just sucks so much fucking ass, well smiling friends is alright I guess actually laughed at the jokes and hope there's more of it so maybe not all hope is lost.

Same. I can find a couple of movies every year that remind me I enjoy animation, but TV right now is just super lacking. Just from last year, I really enjoyed Flow, Robot Dreams, Memoir of a Snail, and the new Wallace & Gromit movie. Night of the Zoopocalypse was dropped on YouTube for a bit and that was a fun watch. What was notable that came out last year? Creature Commandos, I guess, maybe. Common Side Effects is cool, Smiling Friends still makes me laugh. Everything else just feels like it's being made for the YA audience, the preschool audience, or just a Rick & Morty knock-off.

I like cartoons and animators a lot, not really into comics though.

Though there has been a higher number of /pol/ tourists on the board since the last US election annoyingly.

I do, I just hate the industry and the people in it. Its either greedy dispassionate retards or histrionic irony poisoned faggots that wear their mental illness on their sleeve and have to put retarded idpol shit into everything. Give me someone that can find a good balance of passion and professionalism that doesn't act like an autistic manchild and I'll be fine, This goes for the comic industry as well.

I only hate wokeshit when the wokeshit ruins the product.
Steven Universe for example has an occasional fun and good theme, however it often gets ruined because it has to send a "message".
Same with Adventure Time doing shit like >>151069897, which is fucking unnecessary, I wouldn't care about PB and Marceline lezzing it up if it didn't hurt the story and didn't add random retard shit like that.

I like cartoons in general, but lots of cartoons recently don't really take advantage of the animated medium to an extent I enjoy and I include most anime in that comparison too. Punch Punch Forever, however, is one of the most recent cartoons that I have enjoyed a lot recently.

I still like them, but a lot of recent cartoons just don’t interest me as much. Maybe it’s because too many shows now are reliant on irony and meta humor, or something fun ends up gradually being an animated soap opera.
