A Scathing Letter To Cartoon Brew

 Dear Cartoon Brew,

You are one of the worst websites for animation I know. You're everything I despise about bad faith reviews and news reporting. I can't believe what start out as an honest endeavor by Jerry Beck and Amid Amidi has now turned into a sad, pathetic and painfully unfunny joke of itself.

I first saw just how bad you were are reporting news when Chris Savino was fired from Nickelodeon. Instead of simply doing your job and reporting what happen, how it happened and leaving links to hotlines for victims of abuse, your editor decides to go on and say The Loud House should be canceled for what Chris Savino had done. Oh sure! Let's fire 100s of hard working employees with families because their boss was a creep! Do you see how cruel that sounds? This is something I'd expect from a 2 year old who thought firing people was part of the game we call life!

But it didn't stop there, did it? No it only got worse and worse as you spread misinformation and lie to your viewers. You knew Cartoon Network wasn't going to shut down after Warner Bros. merged with Discovery. Yet you go and published that article anyway, causing everyone and they Grandma dread and anxiety. This isn't even your first offense as in 2020 you claimed Disney wasn't supportive of The Owl House's push for LGBTQ representation, when the creator confirmed that was not even close to true. You give other journalists and reporters a bad name because of how much you lie and hype up misinformation just to get views.

Just when you couldn't get anymore pathetic, you post a news article about Rebecca Sugar buying a house and POST HER ADDRESS ONLINE???!!! What the flop is your problem?! Why would any one of your editors think that was a good idea?! Regardless of intention, you just doxxed Rebecca Sugar and put her and her husband at risk of getting killed! I can't even think of a valid reason why anyone would do something this incredibly stupid! If I was Rebecca, I'd get my lawyer on the phone and sue your pants off!

If I had any respect for you, it left the building years ago. I'd even go as far as to say Cartoon Brew was better off laying dormant since Jerry Beck left because now it's just a freak show with Amid Amidi as the ring leader. It's clear you don't even have a so much as a speck of dignity left because this website should've shut down a long time ago. Hence for, I will NOT be using links to your website and I shall discourage others from doing the same. You are the bane of animation's existence and the medium would be better of if you cease to exist.

Sincerely,

A Real Animation Fan -.-
