Incoming Paleo Community Rant!

The Good Dinosaur was a fantasy movie it wasn't trying to be realistic. As for their designs, I don't think they were that bad, they were simple, stylized, almost child-like interpretations of dinosaurs. I see no problem with that...

My childhood drawings of dinosaurs looked alot better than their interpretations. The Land Before Time had better dinosaur designs than a Good Dinosaur, they shouldn't have tried to set it up as a what-if scenario if the asteroid missed.  The movie was made for anti-science people and pro-humanism people

Uh...over dramatic, much?

I don't hate it, it just makes me 'uncomfortable' because uuhhh...a certain youtuber talked about it and some bad stuff about that youtuber has been revealed and i kinda associate The Good Dinosaur with them and...yeah

Kattozilla

Which youtuber? And what information are you talking about?

Disney gives a semi-creationist vibe which I don't like

Ok so the ytber was Cosmodore and the information.....uh....let's just say hopefully he's not allowed near a school

Kattozilla

Oh, Okay. Yeah, I know about the Cosmodore situation and how bad it is, which sucks because I used to really enjoy his videos...

That being said I think it's a little unfair to hate on the Good Dinosaur because of the fact that he reviewed it. What Cosmo did was completely unforgivable, but I don't think that the movie should suffer because of one reviewer's actions. 

They really shouldn't. But, my silly little brain decides to associate everything with everything and I can't get it out of my head

Another big staple of Cosmodore's channel was that he reviewed every season of SpongeBob SquarePants (one of my favorite cartoons of all time). When the information of his actions surfaced, I was of course pretty disgusted. However, it didn't change the fact that I still loved SpongeBob, it was a huge part of my childhood and was extremely influential to me, and that will never change. He may have reviewed it, but he wasn't officially part of its production.

If a member of a show/movie/game's production does something horrible or has an extremely terrible attitude (there's one in particular that I plan on addressing in my upcoming paleo rant) then I understand not supporting the project. However, a reviewer has no say in the production of a certain product, they are only giving their opinion on it. It would be like if a critic reviewed Jaws, and then it was revealed that this critic had actually murdered someone. His/her actions wouldn't affect the quality of Jaws as a film just because they gave a review for it.

I do understand your concerns, but like I said, art shouldn't be judged by actions of a reviewer, it should be judged on its own merits.    

I'll try. My head's just...weird.

And now the paleo community is loosing it and fighting each other over the recent Jurassic World news...

I really hate that community...

im c o n f u s e d

my topic got moved here...hm. mk then

*Update* I'm a little more than half way done my full rant/essay.

I'm going to be uploading it to my DeviantArt account, because I'm a little worried that some of the things that I talk about in it might not be accepted on this site and I don't want to accidentally violate some rules of this site. I will post a link when it is uploaded. 

Ahh...my old DA...when i used it...

i need to use it

Kattozilla 

I'll post a link to it when I'm done. I'm still trying to put all of my thoughts together, there's a lot I have to say. I've currently written 7 pages worth, and there's still a lot I have to say (I meant it when I said I wasn't holding back) 

7 is my favorite number

this isn't relevant to what was said i just wanted to say

now, on topic...

HOLY COW

Kattozilla

Over the years I've seen a lot of garbage in the paleo community and despite all that I've written so far, I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of the many problems in that community. I'm trying to condense it as much as I can while still going into detail about it.

This is truly a rant 7-8 years in the making.

Will a rant help? 

i mean, venting is a valid way of expressive feelings
