Should /u/diogenesjunior be un-banned? I've lost a friend. I don't know the details: who where when what how why. This is a serious problem on SaidIt.

Ironically professional animator is my lifelong career. I've just never gotten into anime (nor video games) and for the last 20 years I've had little interest in the animation world. I do love to see the big glossy animated movies on occasion though, even if some of them have incomprehensibly repulsive character designs.

Western cartoons have gotten... uglier in the last 20 years. Obviously there's outliers, but the reliance on cg has made everything just.. gross, and lack the personality that older cartoons had.

Can't argue with that too much even though it's a broad generalization. Some of it is a lack of talent, a lack of leadership, a lack of aesthetics, and/or a lack of style.
