Animation is serious bizness
Please remember that these are grown men, some are old enough to your father and should be shown respect due to their years of experience and wisdom.

Over on the AWN forums Mr Mankind starts by posing a controversial question and softening the impact with his post Is 2D animation basically dead?.

It all starts nice and polite on the first page (I’m in there with my 2 cents). The discussion gets interesting and a good debate gets going on page 2.

On page 3 it gets serious. Mr Mankind is bemused by the reaction to his thoughts.

DrSpectre start to show his angst. As far as I'm concerned, 2D is a back-stabbing industry where ass-kissing skills combined with the ability to produce predictably mediocre results on a deadline will get you "in". Not a happy bunny.

We have a possible flounce.

Ken needing lip gloss was spotted here.

Mr Mankind posts some more cartoons that weren’t his. It’s total WWIII on page 6 before the moderator comes in and locks the post for further posting.

It’s short and so sweet.

Never mind – we have The Poll.

I just hope I don’t get banned for posting this.

One has to wonder, how many times have they had a conversation like this:

Troll: All CG sucks because I hate (and/or can't do) 3D. Ink and paint 4Evar! [Or other fallacious argument.]

Other Posters: Actually, there's lots of CG that works with 2D styles. CG!=3D only. Ink/paint = stylus/color palette is all. [And similar actual discussion]

Troll: I said 3D, DUH. STFU.

Wise poster: Assumption based on ignorance huh? Good luck with that. BTW, Don't get pissy with me.

Whippersnapper: You're ESTABLISHMENT, aren't you?! Keeping the working man down! Also, your experience isn't valid because it isn't what happened to me.

Whole board: Troll harder plz.

Troll: But I've just insulted everything you've spent your lives on! MY OPINION MATTERS DAMMIT!

Whole board: But it's not the question originally raised so we're ignoring you/destroying your arguments. [Insert board's equivalent of 'tits or GTFO']

Troll: NO U!

Whole board: Are you still here?

Yep! That’s about the sum of it, except I think he’s more of a n00b wearing blinkers.
