Animation (and Comics) after 30 - Lemmy.World

lemmy.world

Rules: - While this is a community for animation and comic fans over 30 years of age, younger visitors are welcome to participate too on the condition that they identify themselves as “under 30” in all posts and comments. - Be kind. Recognize that not everyone will share your taste in media. If you’re going to be mean or snarky about a series you dislike, explain what you didn’t like about it (one man’s trash is another man’s masterpiece). - NSFW is allowed, but NO PORN please! This isn’t a community for that kind of “mature” animation… ---------------------------------- Are you: - At least 30 years old? - A fan of animation (eastern or western)? - A fan of comics (eastern or western, print or web)? - Looking for more series that appeal to an older demographic? Do you feel like high school dramas and edgelord power fantasies just don’t provide you with the same entertainment value they did when you were younger? Are you skeeved out by panty shots and lewd angles of girls young enough to be your daughter? Perhaps you’re bored by the “will they won’t they” of a bunch of kids freaking out over their first kiss. Maybe everything is starting to feel like a slurry of tired old tropes. But if despite all this you still enjoy the drawn medium, even after aging out of its key demographic, welcome! Let’s help each other find some animation/comics that are a bit more age-appropriate (or at least that don’t make you go “hey, isn’t this just a repackaged version of [series from 20 years ago]?”). Reviews, recommendations, requests, laments, memes all welcome.

https://lemmy.world/c/animationafter30

A place for reviews, rants, recommendation requests, and memes for the older (30-year-old and up) crowd, because it can be difficult to keep the passion for animation and comics going after you’ve aged out of the medium’s key demographic.

Whether you’re curious whether Netflix’s newest adult animation series is any good, are seeking recommendations for romance manhwa with middle-aged protagonists, have a “Millennial humor” webcomic to recommend, want to discuss the latest developments in your favorite “salaryman” manga, or simply want to wax poetic (or mournfully cringe) about how your favorite animated movie as a kid holds up decades later, this is the place for you!

No hate or gatekeeping of younger fans and newer series intended, however interests and tastes inevitably change over time and it’s helpful to know whether that anonymous online user emphatically urging you to check out their favorite series is 14 or 40. (Or maybe you are one of those younger fans and are looking for an older adult’s suggestions for animated films you can watch on family movie night that your parents won’t immediately veto.)

For some reason I feel like the vast majority of lemmy users are 25+.

  Same. I’ve got a big IRC crowd vibe. (37.)

A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rulebreaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won’t

You should also include either:

[email protected]

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
