Something must be wrong with me. If I liked big tits like everybody else, I wouldn't be so unhappy. But yeah, thinking about the Unfortunate Implications that's been taken with Raggedy Andy in the cartoons and the movie, it reminded me of that April Fools post Zarla had on her journal, where her L4D characters were drawn in John K's style. I'm only linking the parody, since directly referencing to any of the bullshit John K says on his blog would be like putting some viral filth on my journal.
It's like... it's one thing to be some hairy middle-aged manchild that believes animation should be saturated with homophobia, misogyny (it's not worth it unless there's giant boobs or Tinkerbell's ass!) and racism like the Good Old Days. One man is enough to rage at and forget about. But no. The animation community adores him. They think he's a fucking genius. Should anyone point out what a narcissistic fuck he is and all the offensive things he says, they jump down your throat 'cause ZOMG HEZ A PILLAR OF ANIMASHUUUUUN!!11!1 and how DARE you say a bad word about his craft, you know nothing about animation, you're one of those feminist dykes that wants to destroy the spirit of cartoons! Just... this is what hoards of animators praise as professional creativity? They actually want racist cartoons on DVD 'cause of ~*~special symbolic and innocent caricatures~*~? Has everyone been blinded by their nostalgia goggles to see how backwards we're going? Gross-out "humor," gratuitous violence and nudity, and objectifying women/homosexuals/minorities is of utmost importance because animation belongs only to privileged white men living in their mom's basements? Are we saying animation, as a medium, should be garbage? I'd find any of this so-called "adult" stuff as obnoxious as any brainless kiddy cartoon with talking Stepford Smiler Bunnies.
One of the many things I thought of being when I grew up was to become an animator. Later in life, I decided I didn't have the capacity, but I was much happier as a writer. And damn, it would be my dream to see my novels be adapted into high-quality animated films. (Preferably 2D/traditional, but whatever medium if it fits what they're adapting) Wouldn't you know it! Animators hate writers. They're a scourge and put limitations to their freedom. Huh! In that case, I'm glad they likely won't be touching my work because they wouldn't give a fuck enough to destroy it. Too much of those pesky ~*~EMOTIONS~*~ women are obsessed with (lol women they're so predictable in their behavior!) and its oppressive plot and character development. How dare I not portray our beloved Raggedy Andy as a poster child for wannabe masculinity! God forbid Raggedy Andy be human! That would make him a... sissy. *gasp*
Not to mention Raggedy Ann is not portrayed as a hot piece of ass, so John K. would steer clear of me. He never watches anything new 'cause it's all soulless and he somehow knows how much they suck. On the bright side, he hasn't had a job in years, and stuff like Friendship Is Magic is decent. If it was just John K, I could deal and move on. But the animation community as a whole? I just... knowing they'd actively defend this bullshit makes me feel so disappointed. What the fuck, animators. What the fuck. God I feel disillusioned. Yeah, I'm in a horrible mood. I feel so sick right now, in more ways than one.
