All I want is to talk about cartoons, learn how to draw better, learn how to get a job writing cartoons...

Why do things have to be this way?

Then fucking talk about cartoons instead of constantly bitching about this.

Don't worry. All the boards are like this.[\spoiler]

But why when it will inevitably devolve into this?

Then ignore all the shitty threads? It's working fine for me, I'm enjoying myself. Looks like you're busy so you don't need that much content.

>Why do things have to be this way?

Because entertainment markets are shifting toward niche audiences. Over the last twenty years it has become much easier for people to find content that matches their exact tastes, and this has made them more critical of things that don't. Not to mention social media has given them more of a way to be heard.

This isn't really a bad thing. It gives independent creators much more of an opportunity to compete, since people are much more interested in "long tail" things with narrow target audiences. But it clashes with our nostaligic memories of an era in which we had to be satisfied with a much more limited pool of entertainment options.

then just go learn how to draw better if this place isn't the fucking hugbox you expect it to be

Criticizing bad work doesn't make you human garbage you soyboy manchild.
I'm so sick of this attitude where if you don't say "Great job buddy!" and give a gold star to everybody who makes something you're an evil harasser.

Don't forget the waifufags

There hasn't been anything interesting to talk about since Samurai Jack ended.

Sup Forums isn't your personal hugbox you fucking pussy. Go back to tumblr.

>implying Tumblr is a hugbox

I wouldn't know. I don't go there.

life is a shit; learn to roll with it.

How ableist of you.

Come on now, we have other, great threads.
Like those ones with the super villain waifu
And that one going on right now about torturing mice
And that other one going on right now about Illumination’s Super Mario Bros
And yet another one going on right now where we’re storyboarding a thing right now
We have fun here sometimes, and those times are great, you just gotta know where to look

I actually love drama and shitflinging. I love the chaotic elements of Sup Forums culture, and I dislike the mods' attempts at curtailing it. But at the same time, I hate how political arguments are now about whether or not certain people have the right to live. Sup Forums wants to gas the kikes and niggos, and Tumblr wants to punch the Nazis. These are both euphemisms that mean going to political events and attacking people, which is the new norm. And now because there's a real world phenomenon of political violence, shitflinging isn't as fun. I want to go back to bullshit about Alex Hirsch being a manlet and John Kricfalusi being a proto-hipster.

Honestly I think the political aspects wouldn't be as strong if the mods weren't so anal about muh blue board.

Like, obviously regular porn threads are a nogo, but one or two images can easily stir up the chaos people crave.

Any time you feel the urge to go to this site, draw instead, or watch a cartoon. You won't gain much trying to discuss things here.

playing off of this;
use your emotional-turmoil as fuel for your drawing-hand.

all ya had to do is remove your second point and just focus on the first. Fuck you, OP
