does it make sense if you grow to resent cartoons you liked as a kid because they remind you too much of your old shitty art? the fact i dislike spongebob is such a foreign concept to a lot of ppl

i don't really resent spongebob (I only grew out of it because of bad memories with the community) but I blame me drawing spongebob constantly for how bad my posing and general art was. he's one of the worst characters to learn to draw with because almost anything you learn applies to him only
I have that with certain shows. I wouldn’t say I resent them, but it’s hard for me to look at (for an example) the blue choochoo without being reminded of times I’d rather forget
nah, that makes sense (to me, anyway)
idk if this is necessarily similar, but i used to love Fairly OddParents as a kid, but i now just really don't wanna watch it, and frankly that's due in large part to Butch's degrading as an artist + all the stuff about him being a shitty human being
I feel a bit that way towards some of the 1930s cartoons I used to watch as they had a big influence on me, but looking back at my art itself you could hardly tell that was the case so the effect kinda wore off for me at least
I think the issue here is when you look back on some things you liked in the past, you start associating them with bad memories of how you treated them back then.
I get that all the time when revisiting certain stuff I used to obsess over and/or copy, though I try not to hold my behavior towards it
Id explain it as one’s tastes changing over time. You were into it at one point and arent now, has bad associations for you.
For me I think spongebob is fine but people glaze it way too much and I’m sick of seeing the same jokes get regurgitated online, though that’s me hating meme culture overall
I don't think I really have that exact feeling in particular, but I've come to resent Ren and Stimpy for a similar reason. It reminds me too much of when I was a shitty person in my teen years, and it's made by one of the worst human beings alive so... there you have it.

the movies are still cool though cause I consider them to be their own things for the most part

I’ve cringed at Rio because of my Greeny Phantom knock-off which it’s Gilbert City and I almost added these characters like Blu to that “cartoon”.
I kinda resented the Disney Renaissance cause of the 90s kids and Zootopia because of the same reasons as above. (I was a almost 15 when it came out)
