    Opposing Opinions - Why Do They Bother Me So Much?

    Hello, just thought I'd bring up discussion about an issue that's been troubling me for some time. It's basically the act of getting triggered or sensitive over an opposing opinion that may be expressed quite harshly. Sometimes I get afraid to like something of a high popularity that despite...

    Animated Films - Embarassed to watch them...why?

    First off, thanks again for all the input everyone, it helps to have discussion with like-minded people. Secondly, I haven't made much progress into getting over this issue, but I have had thoughts about it from time to time. There was a stop-motion film I saw in animation class recently named...

    Animated Films - Embarassed to watch them...why?

    Oh how I love TV Tropes. That page makes a really good point to be honest. Personally, I don't think animation should be considered "childish" at all. I love things like South Park and grew up on the whole medium of things like Pixar and old Looney Tunes cartoons, so why I feel this way has...

    Animated Films - Embarassed to watch them...why?

    Anything that has a major focus on Princesses I've honestly never been into full stop, which is no surprise considering I'm a male. The ones I remember having on VHS were Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, 101 Dalmations, Jungle Book, Fox and the Hound, Hunchback, Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis and...

    Animated Films - Embarassed to watch them...why?

    Manchester is quite a distance from me, I live in the Lancashire area between Preston and Manchester, but much closer to Preston (UCLAN of which I attend). Shame since Manchester is a brilliant city with lots to see and go. I don't consider myself a massive art fanatic though it is nice to...

    Animated Films - Embarassed to watch them...why?

    Some very informative and insightful responses here. I do appreciate everyone's advice even though replying to every single one is tough. That's another problem I have, feeling like I haven't acknowledged everyone because I didn't quote their posts, lmao. Be assured that I've taken every one of...

    Animated Films - Embarassed to watch them...why?

    Hello, I'd just like to say I'm a new member here, but I don't expect to be a regular poster as I've learned to cope with my AS in recent years. However, there is one bizarre issue I have that I've never been able to understand. I think it would be worth noting that I am a MASSIVE film fanatic...
