Cartoon Attraction

[AerostarMonk]

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Real-life people are often unpleasant. At least to me, anyway.

I've seen so many TV shows my brain practically has become a TV show, and I can't recall one toon be it anime or american made that has ever stacked up such a vulgar, careless display of things as critical as sex and love in my live. That's cause toons aren't as infatuated with sex, drugs, and etc.

They are simple and that is one of the things that I've fallen in love with, their simplicity. There are no dark doors hidden in their lives, there are no addictions, or unfaithfil misdeeds lurking in their closets. They have a powerful sense of morality, one that seems to be vacant in alot of people.

They have a sense of decency and honesty. Some people may consider that sappy or kiddish, I see it as something to admire, to respect, and most of all, to cherish. Frankie and Dylan are a perfect example of how decent, good natured people compare to sleaze bags who take love so carelessly.

I don't know about that; cartoon characters are in essence based off of people, and some people are like that. Some toons are heartless "sexy" succubus types and some kill people for entertainment. Just like real life!

....unless you're talking about cartoon shows as a whole and not the characters specifically, but still.

I do agree that that's depressing to hear, though. It's really sad when significant things in life get thrown around like they're meaningless.

I do mean cartoons as a whole plus considering the fact cartoons are our creations, we design them to be like that. Cartoons are created and molded from our own imaginations, our ideas, and an idea is always easier to change. However a mean person is a mean person, and nothing will change that.

I'm not saying I'd rather live my life in a fantasy world with toon women instead of real ones. I'm just saying when you actually see what majority of cartoon characters stand for morality wise and respect, you'll find alot more to like then you would compared to the majority of the people you meet.

It's just very serene for me to know that reality can't destroy certain what's in my heart or in my imaginations, just like it can't destroy the toons I enjoy. They can censor them, silence them, or not sell them anymore, but they can't destroy or remove the joy and comfort they have brought me over the years.

You really should be in PR Mr. M. Everytime I post after you I feel a little ashamed because you just say everything so eloquently. It may not be exactly what we're feeling, but it's the spirit. Just, wowsers!

Thanks, I appreciate it but everything I say is nothing special it's just straight from my my heart: uncensored and unedited. One of the reasons I love this forum so much is the freedom to express my true feelings about things without being persecuted or mocked.

I really don't think there are alot of boards out there that would accept a thread like this, or even if they did, would have as many people being honest about such an issue like this. It's comforting to know I have that freedom to express my true feelings here.

having just seen Voxxyn;s avvy...it reminded me how awesome Samus is. She's packin' some SERIOUS heat, and she looks good in a bikini. Is nice.

[Voxxyn]

Samus was once my #1 fictional love. I used to think about her all the time like I now do with Frankie. She's very different from all the other girls I love, and yet I find her intensely compelling and attractive. She's 'hardcore' in terms of her powers, but she isn't an annoying "I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR" type nor is she depicted in sleazy clothing for cheap sex appeal(the 'best endings' of the 2-D Metroid games depicting Samus in a bikini are really tame compared to DOA Volleyball or Bloodrayne). She has a sense of integrity and professionalism that's absent in many other gaming heroines.

And she's so interesting as a character, even though very little is actually known about her. She's ruthless and godlike as a warrior, and yet I find her sympathetic and even slightly tragic from what's been revealed of her past. And, despite the seediness associated with bounty hunters, I feel that Samus has a very strong sense of morality; there are certain moments in the games that do a wonderful job in humanizing her. I know some will disagree on that(I've seen plenty of fanfics that portray her as heartless and cruel), but I personally believe that there's more to her than mass destruction of everything in sight.

That's a really interesting look on Samus Vox I honestly never thought of her in that way.

Yeah brother, a sexy pirate chick who posseses almost Conan-like (or certainly Valeria-like) powers as she wades through alien gore with a plasma rifle in full body armor. Totally hot.
