Recently got into a heated (and frankly stupid) argument on discord regarding modern cartoons. Thread.
1. This image does NOT reflect modern animation as a whole as it leaves out uniquely great shows such as Primal, Love Death & Robots, Phineas and Ferb, Bluey, and Carmen Sandiego.
2. These character designs were all criticized for looking the same and lazy. Uhh...no? Like, even a small child can tell the difference between a kid, a fish and a bear.
3. Then there's this lazy shit which tries to make it seem like the character designers were copying each other's homework. It's painfully obvious the person who made this had to force the characters to look like each other because Dipper and Star's mouths don't actually go that big in their respective shows.
4. CalArts is NOT a style, it's a fucking school! They don't teach you how to draw a specific way, they teach you how to use modern filmaking tools to bring your visions to life.
5. You know the term "CalArts style" was coined by a hasbeen cartoonist/sexual predator, right? Yeah, don't listen to that motherfucker John K as he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about 
BJay653 @BJay@baraag.net6. Modern cartoons and animated movies are so much more diverse now than they were back when animation got started. Don't @ me with your whole "mOdErN aNiMaTiOn LoOkS tHe SaMe" bullshit!
7. Last but not least, animation isn't just for kids. It's for everyone. I don't want to hear anybody say "it's not that deep. It's for kids." That's the same bullshit everuone and their fucking grandmother called out the Oscars for -.-
