To put it bluntly, anyone who thinks that is a jackass and probably takes himself a little too seriously. They need to loosen up and stop trying to impress everyone, themselves included, with how "mature" they are.

And what's with "roxxorz my boxxorz"? Some of these phrases are dumb.

What puzzles me about this is the thought that doing the same thing for live action is somehow "better". Why? The characters of, say, Grey's Anatomy are every bit as fictional as the characters of Foster's, and how anyone can justify religiously watching Desperate Housewives yet scoffing at cartoons because they're "not real people" baffles me. It really does.

What the heck does "roxxers my boxxers" mean?-nevermind, I don't wanna know. Anyway, I thought of more stuff that annoys me.


28: When people say "OMG, THAT IS SO GAY!"....all I have to say is that that sounds so retarted.

29: Nasty litterbox....

30: When someone does something and everyone thinks it's cool or funny, but when you do it, it's not cool nor funny.

31: E hecks and road checks.

32: Folks that have no sence of humor.

33: When you're trying to be funny and people look at you like "wth?" (happens to me akll the time)

34: Girls who just throw themselves at guys.

35: Girls who think like their butt and boobs are just "all that".

36: Guys who think the following above.

37: When them freakin brats throw paper wads, pencils, erasers, ect at you but if you say anything about it you get in trouble with the teacher.

38: When people disses something you think is cool.

39: When you eat something for lunch and your friends say how gross it is the WHOLE time you're trying to eat when THEY'RE not even eating it! They don't know what it tastes like.

40: People who constantly rag on how good you would look in this certain kind of clothing when you don't have the money to afford THAT particular brand or kind.

There's more but I can't think of anymore right now.

I honestly get that "pervert cartoon freak" look and idea thrown around alot. Particuarly when you talk to someone who is a teen and doesn't watch cartoons, they either think you're gay or that you're a pervert. It really bothers me because people make it seem like I'm a depraved pervert.

People get aroused and actually have fantasies about celebrities and people on shows like Sarah Michelle Gellar from Buffy, or Jaimie pressley from My Name is Earl and it's apparantly okay to have sexual or adult thoughts about them. But when it happens to a cartoon character, you're labeled a sicko freak show.

It bothers me because cartoons have had a LONG history of advertising sexual attraction. Look at Jessica Rabbit, Minerva Mink, Lola Bunny, and even half the Disney princess girls. Toons have been promoted as seuxal icons for years, why the hell do you think toons do all that weird stuff when they see a pretty girl?

Eyes bulging, hearts shooting out, turning into rockets and screaming like their on fire? I don't think it's wrong at all, I think it's NATURAL. People grow as they get older and your mind realizes certain things and hints you didn't realize as a kid. I don't feel like a nutcase when I say I think Frankie's hot.

Or that I found Fifi Lefume from Tiny Toons to be attractive. I honestly find it hard to believe in a world where people have fantasies about every warped, twisted thing you can imagine, thinking about being sexually drawn to a toon is the worst thing you can feel.

From the commercials I have seen, Grey's Anatomy appears to be some sort of dramatic soap opera that takes place in a hospital in which things that shouldn't and (as far as I know) don't happen, do happen. And to the extent of my knowledge, doctors have higher moral and are more responsible than to hide in closets and neglect their duties. (I do hope.)

And this reminds me of another thing that I really dislike. Sappy stories and the whole idea that love and sex HAVE TO come together. Sure, maybe lust and sex come together, but love and sex don't. You can love someone, yet never have sex with him or her.

I believe people say things like that about cartoon fans because they feel that cartoons are only for children, and once you reach a certain age, you should move on to "more adult shows." They believe that watching cartoons at an adult age is bad enough; being attracted to a cartoon character is horrendous. I don't see why that should be so. In my opinion, being attracted to a cartoon character is not twisted at all. It is a much better idea than having feelings for some Hollywood star who constantly marries, divorces, re-marries, and involves himself or herself in affairs.

Wanting to make sexytime with a cartoon character is certainly not one of the more harmful fantasies I can think of. People are lame.

You know, this is an interesting topic, but why not start yourself seperate thread on this? Just so we can stay on topic on this thread. I'd be interested in the topic of likes and dislikes of cartoons if anyone wanted to start a thread.
Eh?
