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 final part, I conclude all this with an additional discussion about how bandwagoning on trends like the Disney hate has caused the cartoon community to watch more videos talking about media than the media itself, and this will be the moment that will highlight why this is called “I’ve Had Enough”.  

Special thanks to Chris Etrata for helping me with gathering the screenshots for my talking points in the video.

There's another factor-when certain creators like Moviebob have more negative views on films they originally gave positive reviews to like Man of Steel and Rise of Skywalker. I can't help question if Bob really did organically change his opinions on those movies or if he just felt bullied into doing so by fandoms online and changed his opinion just so he could join in with the crowd and they'd stop harassing him over his positive views on those films.

I just wanna say, this is the best part of the mini series. Today I’ve gone through depression due to very unfortunate passings and all that stuff. But when it comes to the cartoon community, it completely broke me, especially with the things you can’t say because it’ll be taboo and that they’ll hate you for that. AniMat, thank you so much for the amazing lesson to be myself. It’s awesome that I get to chat with you, Saberspark, and a few others within’ the community. Even if we don’t share the same opinions, it’s all good, we just love to chat and yap about ourselves and our love for animation. I’m very depressed today and I really need support from you all. To everyone who I follow, y’all are awesome. All I want is positivity and change.

I'm definitely not afraid to go against the grain in terms of my opinions, I unironically enjoyed Foodfight for example.

Oh god the Cuties drama was such bullshit, I even saw certain left-leaning people who should've known better spewing the garbage "hurr durr Cuties is CP!" nonsense. I even saw Evan Rachel Wood saying that and honestly that did make me start to question the other stuff she was saying(not saying she was necessarily making up her accusations against Manson, but seeing her echoing those same ignorant thoughts about Cuties that right-wing nazi trolls were saying certainly did make me start to side-eye her at least a bit, which is another thing I blame social media for-making it hard to determine whether people are actually being serious or not).

I can tell you those claims against Cuties are absolutely false and it IS in fact "innocent" of the bullshit claims nazis have spewed against it(Which they only did because of the director being non-white and female), the film firmly condemns objectifying young girls and had the people whining about the film actually seen it, they would've known that.

The final part has put everything all together and it’s time to make the BIG wake up call

I have honestly reached a point in my life where online fandom activity means zilch. I would much prefer being valued in a professional community like ASIFA than to waste my time associating myself with the cartoon community’s utter malarkey.

I do find it frustrating that some people are still saying that Animat is the one who "defended" Cuties and saying that he believes that conspiracy theories are involved. I did a bit of my own research, and from what I gathered, he never said anything about conspiracy theories. It may have just been bad marketing. I mean, Netflix is not immune from this. Remember Spellbound? I do not want to jump on the Disney Hate bandwagon. Sure, the company made some decisions in recent years that I don't approve of, but I still like their animated films, and I don't want to say that I don't. As for the Lilo and Stitch remake, I don't like what they did to Jumba, but I feel like the hate for the ending was overblown. First off, Lilo wasn't put into the care of just anybody, but with a family who cares about her as much as Nani, while they allowed her to go follow her dream job and provided better money and care for her sister. Like, Nani has been putting so much effort into Lilo's future, but who's going to look out for Nani's future? As for those posts brought up that criticized Animat, to the people who made those, let me say this. He didn't put Pepe Le Pew on his Top 10 Worst Looney Tunes Characters list because of what made him a victim of cancel culture, but because that's all he does. And did he give Strange World, Elemental, Wish, or any other animated Disney film released this year, aside from Soul, a 10/10? Have you people even seen his videos?!?! I am anspiring showrunner/filmmaking, but I'm not aiming to save the animation industry, but to make my own shows and movies that entertain and impact people as much as the stuff I watched when I was a kid. I would be upset when I hear some people saying that they don't like what I made, but everyone has different tastes and opinions; I can't please everybody. Anyway, great miniseries, Animat! I would've preferred Animation Lookback: Blue Sky Part 4 first before this, but very informative and well-made discussions that had to be said in order for change to happen.

I can only leave you with this comment after the miniseries is over: We Are Not Alone

Band wagoning is so wildly bad. Like so many people just say well X person i like said it therefore its true. No make your own decision don't just rely on others!!!

Edward Baillargeon

I just want to say thank you for making this miniseries. You've tackled everything that made me and several others want to separate ourselves from the cartoon community and just be ourselves. Your personal experience of learning to improve from this toxic mindset really added a lot and I'm glad you were willing to step up and call out the community for not learning from those same mistakes. This final part really stuck the landing how badly the community needs a wakeup call, especially with bandwagoning problem. As I recently said on Bluesky, I cannot stand hate bandwagons because it's all about being so negative, cynical, and destructive. It doesn't matter if it's Lesbian Space Princess or Velma or any live action remake or what have you, I hate it because it's everyone being miserable just to be miserable, and they've most likely never saw that thing in the first place. And everything you said in the second half, I gotta give you a huge round of applause. Everyone has their opinions because that's just being human. At the end of the day, these are just cartoons! They have no impact on the actual problems in the world. That final sentence was beautiful.
