But given what the Internet has become these days, drama can be hard to avoid.
Example: I recently joined a Facebook group that looks at animation. It's a wide-ranging group that looks at the craptacular 1970s offerings of Hanna-Barbera to the oddities of animation from behind the Iron Curtain.
A fellow posted an image of an animation cel he'd found and was interested to know if anyone else recognized it. I could see it was clearly Hanna-Barbera, but I wasn't certain I'd seen it before. I did a Google Lens search and it came up as a cel from a show called "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids," which looked like a Scooby-doo ripoff. I'd never heard of the show.
I wasn't certain if the other guy had done such a search, but figured it was worth a shot. Worst they could do was say they'd already done such a search, and move on.
So I posted a response.
I was immediately told that my response was wrong by another postedr, and that the evidence I offered was incorrect.
Not having a dog in the fight, I replied "My bad," and went on.
But the original poster looked at what I offered and agreed with me that it was indeed where the cel came from. And he went on to chastize the other guy for being rude. I didn't think he'd been rude at all. There was a little back and forth, and it appears it's still going on a bit.
I found the episode in question, and it certainly does provide home to the characters in the cell. But man, talk about terrible Hanna-Barbera cartooning.
I mean it's not the rank snobbery I encountered on the 2001: A Space Odyssey Facebook group, but it was starting to feel like it.
