I’ve Had Enough of the Cartoon Community [and Fandoms] (3/4): Social Media

It’s time that we actually discuss about the one thing in animation that’s having the biggest downfall that no one’s talking about, and that’s the fandom. Often referred to as the Cartoon Community, animation fans have become one of the biggest detriments of the medium where their toxicity and bad behavior have become increasingly unbearable. In this third part, I’ll look into what some say is the main source of fandom toxicity, and that is social media. How the need for engagement is giving cartoon reviewers like myself a bad name, along with the cartoon community’s craving for likes and attention, and how their dependence on Twitter (or X) has made the group so much worse. 0:00 Intro 1:43 How Social Media Ruined the Cartoon Community 3:25 Negative Reviewers Outweigh those who are more Positive (Include links to channels mentioned) 7:30 Can We Trust the Intentions of Cartoon Reviewers? 13:39 Alex Meyers Fell Off Long Before his Obsession Review 19:18 We’ll Never See The Next Big Cartoon Reviewer 21:48 DiscussingFilm/Culture Crave Clones are nothing but Grifters 25:14 They Don’t CARE about Indie Animation 27:48 Best Animated Short gets NO Attention 32:30 Why Cartoon Reviewers Rarely Review Obscure Animation 37:34 The Terminally-Online Fans 38:47 The Problems with Twitter 41:36 Everyone Knows that Twitter is Very Toxic 46:25 Using Twitter is Using AI 51:39 Twitter is a N/a/z/i Bar 55:20 Twitter will Destroy the Cartoon Community 56:29 Debunking the claim of Not Leaving Twitter because of Friends/Fans 1:02:20 Outro Special thanks to Chris Etrata for helping me with gathering the screenshots for my talking points in the video.
