Most other people who you interact with aren’t actually seeing you individually. Instead they are confronting images they’ve previously developed regarding one or two characteristics they noticed. Don’t take what they say too personally.
Edit: Be aware that you do the same thing.
Yeah, this is a very real phenomenon and it’s difficult to do anything about it sometimes. People develope an internal profile of you based on their perceptions, and anything they say about you is based on THAT, not reality. It’s even more difficult when it’s somebody close to you who’s internalized that profile so much it’s become part of who they identify as. You’ll see this with the parents of trans kids where the parent has internalized some aspect of their child and it’s become part of their identity. “I’m the father of three sons” kind of thing. Then one of the kids comes out as female and the parent has a really difficult time with it because they identified themselves as the parent of three male children and that’s turned out to be incorrect, they’re the parent of two boys and one girl and they need to change how they identify themselves in addition to how they identify their daughter. Some parents have a really REALLY hard time of it (they still gotta do it though if they don’t want to be a shitty person)
… is beyond amazing!
I imagine if you told these same people that AI slop is for losers, their heads would explode and you’d be called all sorts of colourful words. It definitely, in my experience, feels like AI slop enjoyers aren’t the most stable. Though, my experience hasn’t been too much since I actively avoid them if possible.
Let them watch Grave of the Fireflies once and ask them, if they would show it to a child.
It was shown as a double feature with My Neighbor Totoro in Japan.
My dad picked up both Grave of the Fireflies and one of the Escaflowne movies when I was 9ish, thinking that cartoon=“safe.” He also gave me the first issues of Transmetropolitan around that age, so similar issues with comics=“safe.”
Ok, children might be safe, since they don’t geht half of it. But not teens.
Who’s calling you a loser? Animation is rad.
Literal whole cons full of people enjoy it.
Those who matter don’t mind. And those who mind don’t matter.
noseless asian animation where everyone is the same and the faces have no animation during speech, or proper animation?
both are animation, even if their quality and style differ.
I think it’s generational. My parents simply will not watch animation and they don’t realize that they can’t explain why because they were just told “it’s for kids”. In fact, their entire generation seems to have responded with “okie dokie” to everything they were told when they were young and now all of that stuff is the gospel to them. My mom even said once (on South park) that she found it funny but couldn’t watch it. On the other hand I don’t really meet too many people my age that can’t debate between family guy and American dad. Almost everyone I know has watched big mouth.
Its just bizarre that they will now consume thus ai garbage no hesitation. Can we send out lost “letters” from their deceased parents telling them, “no, stop.”
Oblivion is much more fun if you pretend that you are a normie though. All the elder scrolls games are like that - the best way to play Skyrim is as a refugee migrant farm laborer/subsistence hunter.
Hell yeah. Even in the remaster. It became such a habit I still did it in Fallout and Skyrim.
I mean, what are we supped to do, just walk/run? Boring.
I just slow walk while bobbing the view up and down, left and right, to emulate grooving to the tunes on the radio.
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn’t have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
Theeeeerrrrre wassss never a mannnnnnnn like my Johnnnyyyyyyy…
Fooooooorrrrr the one they call… Johnny Guitar…
Play it again, Johnny Guitar…
Self awareness has never been a bully their strong suit.
We all love animation.
Hell, Arcane was one of the top shows so far this year.
Who’s calling you a loser for liking animation?
Like what you like. If people denigrate you for it, weed them out of your life.
Maybe it was MLP.
I actually like watching it when I baby sat my sister when she was a toddler. Morals and messages was on point.
I watch a lot of kids cartoons. MLP is a great show, but the people who got weirdly into it were weirdos completely unrelated to MLP, that was just how they manifested it.
I can’t upvote this enough. This is the energy you should cultivate for yourself. If you haven’t already found your people, it will be lonely at times.
Yeah, this is one of the reasons I refuse to speak with my mother
Because she likes animation?
Because she infantilises me for liking animation and science fiction
Ew. What are you, an infant?
All the cool kids like Marvel movies.
/s
It was bullshit before generative slop was a thing. It’s even more bullshit now.
What do you mean with animation?
Cartoons
Animaniacs
Are you pondering what I’m pondering?
Goodnight everybody!
YT says the other person calling you a loser is a moron. This version of that famous sing-along style was posted in 2020 and has over 20m views…
There’s another Spanish version that has 19m views
And then the America state capitols one has about as much as well, not even from an official source
Helllloooo Nurse! Always loved that show. I’ll have to check out the reboot.
If someone thinks you’re a loser for liking Animaniacs (can’t speak for the reboot tho) then they’re the fuckin loser even by normal society standards, fuck em
The reboot is still good. Not as good, but good nonetheless.
Cannot be worse than season 3.
Is the reboot still a kids show that adults can enjoy? Or is it catering to those in their 40s who grew up with the original?
Caters to the now adults. But my kids enjoyed it regardless of the adult jokes.
You 30 years ago “Ha ha! I like this show! Hellooooooooo NURSE!!! Kinda weird that my parents ALSO enjoy the show…”
You today: “Ha ha! I like this dhow! Hellooooooo NURSE!!! Kinda weird that my kids ALSO enjoy the show…”
Meanwhile your parents today: “Hey hey! It’s Wacko, Yacko, and Dot! I remember these guys from when I was a stoner!”
You: “Wait, what?”
You forget that 30+ years ago, most parents both worked. Mine didn’t get home until after 5 at the earliest; the show aired sometime around 3-4pm, so my folks never got to watch it.

Animaniacs huh? You’re in for a long celibate life. Put animaniacs in your tinder bio. The first rule of having cock-block hobbies and interests is to never discuss your cock block hobbies and interests. For every cock-block interest you need 3 desirable interests to balance it out. Take up guitar, hiking, and charity work to offset animaniacs. Then, mind the second rule of cock block hobbies.
Interesting, I recited an Animaniacs skit for my wife on our first date. She said that was the moment she fell in love with me.
Was it the polka dot skit?
Pinky and the Brain’s Pavlov episode, I sang the teapot song which i only knew from animaniacs and Pinky’s dance.
Lol that’s cute. I did a Monty Python sketch for my future wife (not on the first date) and she was highly amused.
Holy shit that is a bad take. The biggest turnoff in the world is someone acting like something they’re not. You also wouldn’t want to be with someone who hates you for who you are.
Mind-blowing that I may be the only one catching the satire here.
(please don’t make a fool out of me)
Thanks andrew
Remember everyone, do your best to erase your personality and everything that might make you interesting so people might be interested in you.

They both can be true.
