machomuu said:Actually it's one of my pet peeves. The reason for this is because it oozes ignorance, and I absolutely hate ignorance. People don't stop to take a look and see that they differ and can be the same in certain cases but aren't most of the time. People don't stop to see a difference, they think "it's animated, so it must be a cartoon", that is not true.Old8oy said:the whole point of the blog was that it's nothing to get butthurt over is you hear someone call an anime a cartoon... it doesn't take away from the effect of the story or the quality of the artistry. it doesn't belittle the otaku. it is what it is.
only because you have it set in your mind what a "cartoon" is and limit it only to your belief. I've not made a single negative remark towards anyone and now I'm ignorant? I've never belittled anime, said anything negative about it. In fact, I enjoy much of it. What I did do was I stated that it is a cartoon, that there is a whole culture of people who are so serious about this form of cartoon that if you even hint that it is in fact a cartoon they assume you are calling them childish in enjoying it. That was not the case. You appear to have taken this personally and have resorted to suggesting that anyone who thinks differently from you is ignorant...
This blog was about people who throw temper tantrums when you refer to anime as cartoons... Anyone who gets that bent out of shape over it really needs to get out of the house...
