I've got an Contemporary Animation Industry Pressing Issue I'd like to discuss...

As one of the most outspoken people IN the animation industry, I think I should remind, or at least acquaint all studios, producers, directors, writers, artists, animators, workers, fans, otaku with the following RULE. That's right, I'm issuing a rule.

HAVE RESPECT, for GOODNESS SAKE.

HAVE DECENCY AND RESPECT FOR YOUR INDUSTRY PEERS, EVEN IF YOU'RE "COMPETING" AGAINST THEM

Speak and act respectfully to your animation and comic book industry peers. No one likes a jerk or a cyberbully with a potty mouth or people who brag about so-called "scandal".

Respecting your fellow colleagues and peers demonstrates by example you have the decency to treat people right. If you go around cynical, bashing everyone, badmouthing everyone, who do you really think's going to hire you, or even WANT to work with you for that matter? If you don't have respect, you shouldn't be looking for work, because frankly, you don't deserve it. There are only so many self-proclaimed "jerks that hate everyone" (no offense to whom it may concern) who can write things that disrespectful about their peers and allegedly "get away with it". The industry has been inundated with too many bad millionaire "role models" as of late, who lead by bad example. If you can't respect you peers, shut your fucking mouth. The world will thank you.

A lot of otherwise very talented people who would be working have been driven out or away from animation because of all the negativity that's gone around in the last 12 or so years. Disrespect drives talent away.
