I'll make this short and sweet, I hear alot of people on the site say newgrounds is dead, that the content is horrible, and the newgrounds community has gotten plagued with trolls and immature assholes. My response to this is simple, newgrounds is dead because we as the people or community let it die, who else's fault is it ? Ever since egoraptor, hotdiggetydemon, oney, and other popular animators left the site, people just thought it was the end all be all, and they couldn't be more wrong. And what makes it worse is after those major guys left, EVERYONE FOLLOWED SUIT, like a bunch of mindless sheep. Yes it's very sad to see these guys go, i looked up to them in every way,they're super talented animators who i still to this day try to learn from(i've even watched all their cartoons every single one O_O), but they have moved on with their careers and are taking new opportunity's in life. But lets not forget it was here that they got their popularity, it was here they were discovered, it was all here man, newgrounds played a big role in these guys careers ( at least to my knowledge correct me if im wrong) . Now its up to us, its up to our generation of animators to bring new content table that no one has ever seen before, lets set the bar higher, lets be better than the last generation of newgrounds animators if possible, lets be more funny, witty, comedic, ambitious, and creative ! Lets stop recycling the same old shit that every animator has done, stop trying to be egoraptor and be yourself, as an animator and an artist you've developed your own style throughout the years so take advantage of that. I'm so sick of seeing these pokemon cartoons over and over again, im tired of seeing stupid-ass game parodies that fail at being funny, Dont get me started on the DBZ parodies my god (except for oneys his are actually funny), its just so corny man stop it please , you guys are better than that. There was a guy on here i dunno what happened to him but his name is jawnie He started a unfinished series called clogged tubes it it was fresh and original and i totally loved it ! What about this guy jazlyte i dunno if he animates anymore but his shorts are always weird but yet original and not some recycled bullshit like half of the people here do. What about pixmintro have you heard of him ? this guys a beast and is planning on starting his cartoon series called summer rec and its so sick, i like the concept behind the whole story its something new. You guys get what im saying here lol ? Anyways im done venting haha, i have the utmost respect for egoraptor, hotdiggetydemon, oney, and all the rest of you guys out there though, im serious, you guys made me want to animate and i appreciate it. I have been teaching myself how to animate and its going good so far, so hopefully soon i can start a series or create some shorts for you guys. Anyways just think about what i said people peace !
