Idk how people actually get out of warrior cats hell because let me tell you I went 3 years without touching or looking at a warriors book or any sort of warriors related content and STILL managed to think about how pissed off I am about Hollyleaf’s death every single fucking day

I’m actually surprised that some people are still in it. Like, you are aware that this fandom started the whole cringy/edgy AMV trend right? (Of course not everyone in the fandom is bad. But I still hate the whole edge trend going on.)

This fandom produced some of the best amateur animated content online in the late 2000s. This fandom encouraged and enabled (and still does) artists and animators. This fandom doesn’t actually give a fuck about the “cringe” because we all started somewhere because of silly fighting cats.

If you think I’m not aware of the “edge” and “cringe”, I am. I started reading the books in 2004—I’ve seen it all.

The books are still being written and people actually like the extremely unique and creative concept and world. It’s a very imaginative and inspiring environment that allows for artists and animators to grow.

There is AMAZING fan content out there. The Noodlers, Nightrizer, and Nifty Senpai, just to name a few people who have some spectacular animation on YouTube.

Despite what people may think of the art, SSS Warrior Cats paved the way for fan animation everywhere, and it’s GOOD animation, especially for the time it started being produced.

Screw your “edge” and “cringe”. Let people do what they want and actually encourage them to learn and grow, for god’s sake.

Thanks for your negative comment, but I didn’t ask.

I babysit for a ten year old girl and her little brother. The girl is perhaps the most creative child I’ve ever met. She’s fascinated by animation, and very recently she created her very first animation. (an adventure time animation on some free mspaint-like software) She was so incredibly proud of it and showed it to me with utter joy at what she had created.

I helped her put it on youtube and she couldn’t wait for the comments. Day by day, views ticked up one by one, but not a comment yet.

Then just last week, she got her very first YouTube comment. She actually squealed as she hurried to see what they had said.

Now I watched, I watched as weeks of pent up excitement drained from her face and her whole body just drooped.
She asked me what she had done wrong with the animation just because some conceited grown adult had felt the need to comment how “cringey” and “cancerous” her animation was. She is ten goddamn years old.

She took the video down and no matter how hard I try to convince her she will not put it back up.

Watch what you say online. These kids are the creative future and one comment can shut them down for good.
