People Are Acting Like Tnr Is The Worst Thing Ever While Its Literally The Same Quality As Any Other Kids Show Out There - Tumblr Posts
Anyway, sorry this blog is dead. I still love HTTYD, just not the fandom. The constant hate for the Lightfury and TNR is awful, and such vitriolic people act like those who don't match their fervor are somehow in the wrong.
The Lightfury hate is often misogynistic. "What?! But it's misogynistic the film only made her a girly girl gross plot device!" it's right there, you don't like her because she is feminine. Femininity shouldn't be demonized. I often see her depicted as a bratty, "bitchy" character due to the inherent association with femininity which- if you associate brattiness with femininity- you need to deconstruct that.
TNR does have some animation issues. Though if you want them fixed you need to stand with writers and animators. I see the passion with the concept sketches after the credits. The artists care for this product.
"But I can do better for free!" and that's the issue, corporate sides of studios insist on just barely paying their artists because of sentiments like this. That anyone can do. That it's a "fun job" which it's not.
Animators and writers do not make much. Unless they're a very big name which MOST AREN'T. Especially in the TV sector. A lot of the redesigns come from an arrogant "Well I'm an unpaid amateur, and I am soooo much better uwu" place. It's fine to not like it, but to give all your vitriol to the artist rather than corporate is fucking stupid.
And yeah, some artists view some jobs as just that. A job. You would too. It ain't evil. This capitalist system is but that's a whole 'nother rant.
That and a lot of you just genuinely suck at writing. I've seen a lot of OCs that are just the fucking lightfury as a nightfury. It's a bit two-faced if you hate her for trying to kill Hiccup but make these "epic cool" Nightfury OCs that are killing machines. Often shipped with Toothless. It's hypocritical.
