Every time someone is revealed to be a piece of shit, there's always a crowd of people proclaiming: "well, I didn't like them or their work anyway." But here's the thing. Other people did like them and their work. A lot of people. Downplaying the impact, isn't forwarding the conversation.

It's so freeing to see animation break free from all the tropes it was stuck with in the 90s. Continuous plots and continuity. Representation. Subverting common tropes. Slower and more deliberate pacing The ability to change the status quo.
