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.
Being called a loser for liking animation while the entire world is falling for AI slop is beyond.

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.”
kepix@lemmy.world 10 months ago
noseless asian animation where everyone is the same and the faces have no animation during speech, or proper animation?
callyral@pawb.social 10 months ago
both are animation, even if their quality and style differ.

Let them watch Grave of the Fireflies once and ask them, if they would show it to a child. Warning: one of the most dramatic films in existence, can induce a light depression for a few days.
andros_rex@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.”
MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
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.

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.
minnow@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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)

It was bullshit before generative slop was a thing. It’s even more bullshit now.

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.
Zahille7@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Hell yeah. Even in the remaster. It became such a habit I still did it in Fallout and Skyrim.

Like what you like. If people denigrate you for it, weed them out of your life.
Spacehooks@reddthat.com 10 months ago
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.
dohpaz42@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 10 months ago
We all love animation.
Hell, Arcane was one of the top shows so far this year.

Helllloooo Nurse! Always loved that show. I’ll have to check out the reboot.

YT says the other person calling you a loser is a moron. This version of that famous clip was posted in 2020 and has over 20m views…
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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?
gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
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
skeezix@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
