Obviously Seth MacFarlane acts just like Peter Griffin, at all times.

@Piga Dgrifm: And Casey Alexander must be a mean-spirited bully! Only a mean-spirited bully would ever write an episode where a character tries to commit suicide!
I miss what the Internet use to be, before the "beautiful people" showed up.
We all do, we all do.
Thank God my nostalgia isn't just me...
Now, if I can find someone who shares my nostalgia for late 90s/early 2000s web design, I'll finally be satisfied.
But seriously, what in the hell did happen to the cartoon fan community? How'd it change so much in only ten years?

I think that what Enter does is take his family experiences and assume that is normal for every family on Earth, no matter how obviously not-normal it might actually be.
It's a thing with autism, apparently. They take their experiences and apply it as if it was the same for everyone else. The thing with that is that they unintentionally reveal details of their lives or their disability when they do that, like taking speech therapy, being prescribed to specific pills, describing their classes or buses, eating certain 'special' things, certain autism-exclusive behaviors, or having digestion issues.

Some of us moved on and 'new blood' came in. I use to hold the #1 post rank in rec.arts.animation during it's lifespan.
Time happened. The old crowd just grew the fuck up and realized that cartoons aren't everything (and I still watch them as I'm into animation and all that).
The problem here is the new blood, who think animation is god and nothing else. Add to the fact that sites like Reddit, YouTube and Tumblr exist and you have what's essentially the current animation comunity. Where people think they can be animators without practice and the people only enjoy three to four shows and shun the rest of them.
Now don't get me wrong, there's still some of the old crowd left, and some of the newer guys aren't as bad as their peers. But it seems like only 10-15% of the fandom nowadays.
Good to know, I met many that way.
I would say when the internet started to become this accessible thing to the masses is what did it (and social networks). People didn't have to build a homepage anymore when they could maintain an entry somewhere online and have it do the rest (whether they liked it or not) It was never like this back when I started going online in '96, of course what I'll miss was the goofy personal webpages for every TV show under the sun, complete with .wav's of every line heard and .gif's of every scene! Boy those were the days!
That's certainly how it happened, at least from my experience in this, and I was one of those that was so into cartoons back in the 90's.
@Trilby: Some things haven't changed, though. The new group of cartoon morons hates 99% of current Nick shows, just like it was back then. Tell me how the complaints about how new SpongeBob sucks are different from those complaining that new Rugrats sucked.
I kind of think MLP had a big part in why the cartoon community is what it is. Back then most cartoon morons loved shows like Ren and Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life... now, not so much.

Of course. MLP ruined like half the Internet.
Certainly, took away the love I had for Rocko's Modern Life and it's 'hidden gems'.

Ponies definitely did contribute to the downfall.
@Steamboat_Bill don't forget Animaniacs and the rest of the 90s wb cartoons.

@Trilby: If most of you will allow me to get something off my chest, I hate how people try to reduce Rocko's Modern Life to just nonstop adult humor.
It was a witty, clever satire (up there with the best of MAD Magazine and Harvey Kurtzman), it had terrific slapstick and really good characters. But all anyone ever seems to mention about it is, well, the hidden adult gags, as if that was ALL the appeal it had.
Similarly, the appeal of Ren and Stimpy and some of the stuff that followed in its wake was not just the gross-out comedy.
But, of course, cartoon morons ruin every-fuckin'-thing...

Yes, we do (and certainly something of Harvey Kurtzman's caliber is sorely needed these days)
I do too. I only found out about Kurtzman early in life because my late mother thought I was related to him (her maiden name was Kurtzman) when she found an issue of Comics Scene that talked about him.
Glad to be complimented!
Cool to hear! I still feel sorry for his brother having gone nowhere with his work, at least Robert had someone to be inspired to draw from.
Never a shortage of that!
