problem with tv animation being so insulated and monopolised is that its turned into a snake eating its own tail- you gotta go to certain places to have any kind of in, and they have a certain style theyve declared to be a money maker, so you cater your art to fit that style, cartoons get more uniform, other styles get waylaid, then on and on you go, all the way down, until you start to lose any sense of uniqueness, and things end up…..extreme
basically it all turns kind of incest-y.
as someone who went to university for animation and realized too late that i had barely any chance of ‘making it’ because i wasnt born in california, its all pretty depressing to think about
the positive side effect of this incestuous ouroboros is that (much in the same way that any female lead movie is hailed as a victory for feminism), even the slightest difference in stylistic choices sets work apart from the rest. You may just be drawing and animating in your own style and be lorded as an innovative creator of your time. It may even help it gain traction as something appealing ‘but different’.
There are also a buttload of counter-arguments and branching topics in these points tho that occured to me while writing

I hear many people saying that klance is a “fetish” but can you explain why.....? Also how is it more “fetish” than sheith, and how can sheith be a better lgbtq+ representation? Sorry I just don’t understand the “Yaoi fan girl” culture that much.
Okay so I’ve thought about this, and I’ll try to present this in as fair a way as I can. Just to start with though, these are my own personal feelings on the matter, and I can’t speak for every bi guy out there. But this is just my own views okay? Alright, so:
you all on tumblr: *experiences someone who is arguably shitty* you: yaay now weve got a free pass to make fun of their art, looks, identity and anything else that we say is Bad to do!!!
