MRW I finally watch Lower Decks and realize that "adult animation" doesn't mean "boring to children", and just means "violence, profanity, and sophomoric humor"

The Fun Police really misinterpreted this. This is not saying anything about how good or bad LD is. I was just expecting something more like what TAS was to TOS. Other than the fact that TAS episodes were half the length and that the animated nature allowed them to afford to depict more exotic things like underwater scenes and six-limbed bridge crew members, TOS/TAS were mostly the same. They had roughly the same degree of adventure, philosophy, humor, etc. On the other hand, LD targeted a different audience by focusing on qualities that had not been prioritized in any earlier series. I was just disappointed by how different LD is from TAS.
You're viewing a single thread.
I’m disappointed in this community. Someone voices an opinion that is contrary to the majority and, instead of lively discussion, I see dogpiling? To be fair, there is discussion, but in the past I saw any attempts at dogpiling being cut at the start. I see it flourishing here. I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come.
I think the majority of the comments here are decidedly polite for Lemmy. I don't personally read most of these as dogpiling as much as disagreement fueled by nerd-level enthusiasm.
You can definitely dogpile while maintaining composure. See exhibit A. It’s the “your opinion is wrong and you should feel ashamed of it” aspect being repeated in earnestness that disheartens me.
Disagreeing with someone is not the same as a "dogpile".
It sounds like you just don't like people disagreeing and that leads to boring stagnant "discussion". As long as people are maintaining composure and being polite there is nothing wrong with disagreeing.
Oh come on, "dogpiling"? It's hard to discuss "it's dumb and I don't like it". That's why most reactions are "okay, I don't agree".
Three threads disagreeing is piling on?
