Being a '90s kid (not that I can speak for everyone in my generation), I'm well aware how good I had it. And to your other point, that's a big part of the reason "trying too hard" is one of my bigger problems with a lot of shows and movies today, including some with Obnoxious Fandoms I listed...

I think "militant" is kind of a harsh word. I doubt anyone is actually militant about shows from their childhoods (I say that as a 90s kid, being a toddler through preteen in that decade, as I said in my journal post). And yes, TV animation (and animation in general) has changed a lot. Shows do...

I agree. Actually, I thought she was prettier than Ariel. Is...that bad?

I actually wrote a journal entry on my deviantArt page on this very topic (since I was getting perturbed by people whining about '90s kids and calling us names for disliking modern cartoons): http://earthangel87.deviantart.com/journal/Are-cartoons-made-after-the-90s-bad-by-default-501943378 If...

To me, saying I hope it's clear I was being sarcastic in my previous post. I have close friends of both genders who I consider just friends, and nothing more (a lot of them are married or in relationships, and I'm content in my bachelorettehood, but I digress).

Yeah. Or people who ship Platonic Life Partners, mostly because I'm so sick of guy and girl best friends eventually hooking up IN canon. If I had a guy friend who had been my friend since I was a kid, I think dating him would feel like dating my brother (for that matter, I wouldn't want to date...

I don't really have many other specific fandoms I hate. There are traits a LOT of fandoms have (even this one isn't safe from it) that annoy me, such as: Opinion myopia (because it leads to pointless infighting and unneeded condescension, which is why I have so little patience for it here. The...

Saved by the Bell is a lot more like the typical modern teen-com than Boy Meets World was (you know, just pure fluff). Yeah, Boy Meets World did have some stereotypical characters (especially early on), but they weren't afraid to deal with tougher material, or give the characters depth beyond...

Nothing wrong with girl and girl shipping (I've lately favorited a lot of Hayley Smith/Meg Griffin fanart on deviantArt).

Think they actually said "blind/visually challenged fiend" (since the character in question was a villain). Then again, I haven't watched that movie in forever....

PETA sucks. They're just frivolous, cling onto anything relevant at the moment just to be mentioned in the media, have numerous fat shaming campaigns (this fat vegan chick is not amused) and as you say, kill healthy companion animals (aside from killing that poor dog who actually DID have a...

Obama being blamed for Bill Cosby allegedly raping that woman in the '80s is the definition of "Insane Troll Logic."

I really respect adults who cosplay (one part of me enthuses at anyone who doesn't live in abject fear of other people thinking badly of them, since even nowadays, that's a pretty rare trait, the rest of me just admires their sewing/crafting skills:)). I don't think there's anything creepy about...

The Frozen fandom is pretty bad (they'll act like you have no right to dislike the movie, or even criticize it, which, in an interesting twist, just makes me hate it even more. If people like that movie, great; just don't tell me I have to). As are those of Family Guy (many of whom, much like...

Johnny and Janice. The plot was that they were going to pretend to date each other after having a falling out with their respective partners (Johnny has a girlfriend created by me), but then start to wonder if they have real feelings for each other. I don't know if I'll ever write it, though...

Sounds just like TV Tropes' forum nowadays (the "no such thing as beneficial/constructive criticism" mentality). I'm glad that at least this forum isn't quite to that level, I must say.

I think what annoys me on some of these threads is that they ask for members' opinions (such as what we consider the worst Muppet movie, or most annoying TV series, or whether we think a certain movie is overrated), but the second some members see an opinion they don't like, they act like you...

I don't really get involved with shipping. There are characters in certain shows, etc. who aren't a couple in-universe who I think would be cute together (like Elmer and Tootie from Fairly Oddparents, who don't even think have shared screen-time), but I'm not too invested. But there are...

"Bawling out" doesn't refer to crying or whining, as "bawling" does. "Bawling out" is about equal to "chewing someone out," or lecturing them.

I remember I did used to hate him, but I've grown to...tolerate him since they stopped shilling him so much (Muppets Most Wanted used him about right, and even though I did dislike The Muppets, it did, too).
