Random Thoughts & Questions: MrEnter Edition

[NostalgiaJazzAdmirer]

Many people aren't into anime at all, so I don't know why it's only a problem when Enter doesn't show an interest in non-mainstream TV anime.

He calls himself an animation critic, which means he should be well-versed in animation other than American cartoons. Hell, he probably doesn't even watch much American animation other than stuff on TV and Disney movies.

Exactly. Doesn't have to be a fan but at least showing an interest would be good. If nothing else it'd be different than "SPONGEBOB IS SO MEAN SPIRITED!!!!!!!!" for the zillionth time.

He's reviewed webtoons, as well as shows like Pixel Pinkie, which don't fall into those categories.

Sounds like some wack ass shit.

So does Enter have friends? Like real friends not people on DA with his nuts in their mouth. He seems so obsessed with this kiddie shit that I can see it going either way.

Well, Kyle's his friend, I guess. They live in separate states, though, so make of that what you will.

Have you seen Enter last tweets?
They are being really dumb
and some horse videos are comming if anyone is interested

 

[NostalgiaJazzAdmirer]

Have you notice that the shows Enter praises the most, except by courage, have an anime-like feeling to them?
Avatar,Teen Titans and Samurai Jack(not that much anime-like, just the asian atmosphere, but still)

Batman: TAS, Gravity Falls, Hey Arnold, and MLP (from what I've seen of it) aren't anime-like.

Batman: TAS, Gravity Falls, Hey Arnold, and MLP (from what I've seen of it) aren't anime-like.

Give you the second and third ones, But MLP has an Anime-like art style and Batman was even animated in Japan (and as consequence, looked like an early 90s anime at times).

 

[NostalgiaJazzAdmirer]

How is MLP anime-like, though?

 

[Piga Dgrifm]

Just the art style, it's kind of anime-esque.

 

[Wabbu]

How is MLP anime-like, though?

They are chibi horses

even though I think it's a bit too much to consider it anime-like

So, I just recently had an epiphany regarding MrEnter. I shared this thought on Twitter but I figured I would elaborate here.

I began thinking about some of the negative qualities MrEnter has:

• making mediocre, oftentimes poorly-researched videos
• asking for donations for something literally anybody else can and will do for free
• often look for social issues that aren't really there
• too many people like them
• confuses legit criticism for "trolling"
• focuses a lot on the negative even when he's supposed to be positive

I look at all of that and that's when it hit me...

MrEnter is Anita Sarkeesian.

TheMysteriousMrEnter is to cartoon ranters what Anita Sarkeesian is to feminism. Think about it, they both share the same above qualities (and plenty more if I really think hard about it) and they both have their rabid fanbases.

I hope I'm not the only one who sees this.

Sarkeesian, though, is taken seriously enough in enough places that she gets cited by mainstream media. I think Enter would sperg out and go Full Metal Autist if put anywhere near in front of a real TV camera. Sort of like he does on the Internet, but on actual TV. So I don't think you'd ever see him more than once. We'll be looking at Anita's ugly mug for years, I'm afraid.

Yeah, we don't have to worry about seeing Enter on TV, let alone his cartoon.

Sarkeesian? Taken seriously?

 

[AnOminous]

Sarkeesian? Taken seriously?

Publications where Sarkeesian has been "taken seriously."

New York Times
The Guardian
New Statesman

The Colbert Report
Nightline

That's just a handful of the more notable ones from her Wikipedia article.

But if someone in the "mainstream" audience has heard anything whatsoever about gamers or "Gamergate," it is more likely than not that it was some media outlet uncritically parroting the allegations of Anita Sarkeesian.

As mentioned by @AnOminous Anita has mainstream credibility. I also think the issue of diversity in gaming is something looking into whether you agree with her or not. There's meat to that discussion that's actually worth debating.

Enter talks about how things are too scary for kids. I'd say Enter is more like 80's era Tipper Gore wanting to censor shit because they find it scary/offensive/whatever else.

If the FNAF community is any indication, a lot of kids love being spooked. I remember when I was a kid I found scary scenes in kid's programs interesting and memorable.

Plus if I got too scared (I can/could be a bit of a pansy I'll admit) I would just change the channel.

Exactly. There's a reason why the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark franchise is still remembered fondly. But naw, it's too gross for Enter so clearly all children would be scared.
