Bye bye titties.

NO WAIT THOSE WERE PART OF MY CHILDHOOD


YOU HAVE RUINED IT

I missed out on kitty titties? ; ~;

There are boobs in the picture?

I agree with this whole-heartedly. I never got how something could be ruined if it's in the past.

By creating a mental association with the new image and given its connection with something you remember fondly from your past you may as a result also remember the new traumatizing image you encountered later in life due to that association.

Also it's a really over used phrase >_<

Ah, well I can agree to that, but perhaps people who find themselves affected in that way are using the wrong phrase. But it's not as though it's that big of a deal or people actually think long and hard about a short phrase. It still seems like flawed logic to say it ruined your childhood, maybe, at the very most it ruined part of the way you viewed something previously.

It really is.

i love that explanation.

i use the phrase occasionally. but only when i come across something really mind-numbingly disastrous. THANK YOU 4-CHAN, YOU BAG OF DICKS. and it's used completely in jest.

I agree.

As a "My Little Pony" porn artist...I totally appreciate this!

Amen

Welcome to Transformers fandom :|

Yeah, it goes for people bitching about new shows too. YOU ARE NO LONGER THE TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC. THEY AREN'T MAKING IT TO APPEAL TO YOU. THEY ARE MAKING IT TO APPEAL TO TODAY'S KIDS. THIS SHOW EXISTING DOES NOT ERASE THE EXISTENCE OF THE PREVIOUS SHOW.

Yeah that too, blah. I just say Transformers fandom because that's the nerdy online fandom I'm part of. If you're old enough to remember the very first cartoon series, then you're pretty much automatically one of those really insane nostalgia crazed people who demand everything be like it was when you were 8 and had poor tastes. The following links sum it up nicely

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/RUINED_FOREVER
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/GEEWUN

Nostalgia, and an appreciation of things that sort of set a foundation or whatever are all well and good feelings to have, but its when these feelings lead to a conflicting attitude and lack of reason- then its a bit much D:

no kidding. You should see the Walt Disney World fanbase some time. They make Transformers look open-minded XD

No I've seen the Disney fanbase. That is how I lost my first love D:

Yeah, every ride in Disney World that closes they all scream "NOOOO! IT WAS A CLASSIC!!" XD

I really hope those articles are written with the intention of being ironic. They sound a bit too serious to be in good humour.

They're written for humor, but there ARE fans like that which exist, and they're getting increasingly common now that old people are like "oh hey these are cool again?"

Oh, of course they refer to real entities; just that I was afraid they were siding with the aptly named GEEWUN's who cry "RUINED FOREVER!!1!"

This pleases me.

THANK YOU. FOR THE LOVE OF FFFF.
THANK YOU.

.... is it wrong that I still watch Power Rangers then? :X Like... the new ones? Am I allowed to rage that last season used sunglasses for their morphers? :3

Power Rangers Ruined My child hood- Go Voltron! Voltron Unite!


Sorry, had to do it.

No no. They like to say "____ raped my childhood." Two completely different things.

I'm on TFW, so I know D: Bay raped Ravage, etc... which would make Bay furry. BTW do you still post on Radicons? Pages update so fast, its hard to notice.

Of course. You can look at every thread started by someone, by going to their profile, and selecting the statistics tab.

Really? Neat.

heheheh totally agree

I'd say that this is ruining my good vibes of the present, but that has past, as has this comment.

What was I talking about? Never mind then, it's in the past.

time to do what Pumbaa would say and put your past in your behind, or is it your behind in your past? I forget the quote...

Anyways...

Well said *thumbs up*

You are ruining my now. :C

Umm... I officially live under a rock. Who's been saying that line? ^^"

thousands upon teeming thousands of people, possibly for decades but certainly since the first nostalgia-porn began cropping up of kids' TV shows of the eighties

Ohhh, okies.

Millions of billions of trillions of quintillions!

Googleplexies.

I still say stuff like "OW MY CHILDHOOD" out of humor's sake.

Though to be honest when I see MOST rule 34 it doesn't bother me... But there some lines that just shouldn't be crossed D8

Ooh, ooh.

Is there more phrases you're sick of hearing? Cus I wouldn't mind seeing a little series of these

A couple. But I usually kind of stink at maintaining any sort of series.

Well maybe not a series, but maybe another phrase or two that bugs you.

I love these little rants you do

The fallancies of geeks turned out pretty good.

It helped I had a set number for that since I was basing them on prewritten rules.

You should write them down! then you'll have a set of prewritten phrases c:

Yes boobs! I agree with jugs you on that melons!
(Yes! I agree with you on that!)

... alright. That's it. I'm editing out the boobs.

>:
I'm sorry...honestly, it was the first comment on here that made me do that. ^^;

Then you'll get guys harassing you thinking you're a bishounen.

But-But-But... SHIRT TAILS PORN.
Ok XD
Nah. Its not really that bad.
Nothing ruins my childhood it just ruins your view a bit.

I think its more its taking away the innocence of such things. And they feel bad after they got a stiffy to seeing sleeping beauty be rammed by 7 dwarfs with some old hag nude in the background.

As a disclaimer no I did not. Im sure the image does exhist though. I was going to say Winnie the Pooh but I cant :( I loves him so!

What are you talking about? Wicked Stepmother was hot.

Personally I find such things disturbing, and my childhood MEMORIES have certianly been slightly tainted. WHY ROBIN HOOD, WHY WITH THE HUGE MAN NIPPLES. ;-;

* I too, I suppose would have been more appropriate. :P

faving this out of principle but I have an amusing anecdote about this

someone was elaborating to people why saying "raping my childhood" was a terrible, terrible statement in various ways, including the way you said and did a quip on how Optimus Prime was a truck

he got back a gigantic reply on how that idea was dumb since Optimus Prime was a trailer which made his argument moot

<_< *looks at the people who commented SOLELY on the boobs and shakes his head*

Everybody's childhood is safe unless it was corrupted as it happens. Besides, as we grow older and change, we grow OLDER and CHANGE. Stuff happens.

Unless you're into infantilism, let your childhood go.

...unless it was something REALLY cool.

can I +Watch you again, please?

tay are you a goat now I can't keep up with anything

.....I have lost my mind.....

The stuff today is still crap, and actually kids who do see the old stuff usually find it more enjoyable. It's not raping your childhood, but it can certainly rape the franchise which the owners have stopped caring about in exchange for just selling out with lackluster new series that show absolutely no effort. Flash is not an excuse to be lazy, it is a chance to make even more in less time. We shall always finds ways to return to our childhood, especially even more with all the new shit we have to put up with today.

Here's a hint: If it's a TV show, it was ALWAYS about selling out. TV is there for the commercials.

I know shows have always been there to sell out, but they're not even trying anymore. I remember when they could sell toys but still make the show fun, like with Real Ghostbusters. Today, everyone's on card games, which somehow the fate of the universe hinges on who wins a match that lasts for 2 or more hours.

Things have just gone downhill. It can't rape our childhoods, but it's still sad to see how far things have fallen. An old series can always stay golden, but it's successors always seem to come out tarnished from the beginning.

... dude. We grew up in the 80s and early 90s. WHEN EVERY OTHER SHOW WAS BASED AROUND A TOY/FRANCHISE THAT CAME FIRST. My Little Ponies. GI Joe. He-man. GHOSTBUSTERS. All made to sell toys. And really? A lot of those don't hold up when some of us watch them as adults. They're enjoyable for nostalgia purposes, but I can't enjoy them the same way I did when I was younger and had a different mindset.

And also, if you're going to say something like 'The stuff today is still crap, and actually kids who do see the old stuff usually find it more enjoyable.' you're going to need to back that up with some kind of study. You need a citation. Because logic dictates that if that were true, nobody would bother spending money on making new shows when they could just show reruns of the old ones. That'd be less expensive after all. Those card game shows you mentioned? Do you know why there are so many of them? Kids. Like them. They watch them. Then want to have merchandise from them. It started with Pokemon, which I don't think I need to tell you was a HUGE hit. Yu-Gi-Oh? A big enough success with kids that they even released the spin-off series. Kids of today like that kind of formula.

And crap is in the eye of the beholder. YOU may think everything out today is crap, but I can think of a lot of modern kid's cartoons within the last five years that have large fanbases of both children and older fans: Teen Titans, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Flapjack, Avatar -- and that's just naming a few.

There were crap shows back then and there were good shows. There are crap shows now, and there are good shows. Many people just tend to look at their past through rose-colored glasses.

I officially love you now. c:

I actually liked the shows you named, but they just feel like they're becoming more sparse today. Nick keeps spamming Spongebob like it was their very own Simpsons, few of the classic Cartoon Network shows are still on (even on Boomerang), and basic cable doesn't even have cartoons on afternoons, Sunday mornings, and even weekday mornings are gone. It's hard not to become nostalgic when things keep turning out like this. I may be 23, but I actually hope to write for a cartoon one day. It may seem like a stupid goal, it is in with the idea that I could bring back something good to Saturday mornings, but it's what I want to do.

Sorry to drag this out, I'm just a passionate fan of animated media.

Nostalgia goggles are more powerful than beer-goggles. :<

Which is why I have such a huge mancrush on the Nostalgia Critic and regularcrush on the Nostalgia Chick.

I don't really have any allusions to the stuff I watched as a kid. I knew it was shit, but it was the only thing that was on. There were only 13 stations to choose from before cable became a big deal, and the only cartoons we got were in the afternoons and on Saturday mornings. I put up with a lot because it was that or NOTHING. Tailspin comes to mind especially, that show bored me out of my wits, but it wasn't news so...

I really don't think the ratio of good to bad shows has changed much in the last ten years, there are just a lot more shows to choose from now that there are stations dedicated to childrens shows.

I don't like that tone young lady.

You take that back. >:| (No I'm kidding, I agree.)

"Those card game shows you mentioned? Do you know why there are so many of them? Kids. Like them. They watch them. Then want to have merchandise from them. It started with Pokemon, which I don't think I need to tell you was a HUGE hit. Yu-Gi-Oh? A big enough success with kids that they even released the spin-off series. Kids of today like that kind of formula."

THIS, THIS, THIS AND THIS!!!

All made to sell toys. And really? A lot of those don't hold up when some of us watch them as adults.

Whatever you do, don't tell that to DCAU fans. "This new Batman cartoon isn't as good as the one that came out over ten years ago! BAWWW!" At least when I watch Brave and the Bold, I am perfectly aware that I am watching a kids show. It's kind of like the people who complain about Michael Bay's overuse of explosions. WHY YES HE IS IN FACT AN ACTION MOVIE DIRECTOR WHAT A SHOCK.

</rant>

you should also consider loads of nowday kids are retarded in the definition used 20 years (and more) ago...

new shit we have to put up with today.

... I'm sorry. New shit we have to--? ... how old are you and why are you being forced to watch cartoons?

How could you! He is the victim here, can't you see that?!

ITT: Completely missing the point.

I CAN STILL PRETEND TO BE MARTY, CAN'T I?! D8

Only if you wear that cool jacket.

Oh, of course.

"Hey kid, did you just jump ship? What's with the life preserver?"

Fuck I'm watching that now.

DOOOO DOOOO DOOOO DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

My childhood's okay, but my inner child needs some therapy after all the brutal rape it's been through. This doesn't prevent me from traumatizing it further by cloicking on every other Rule 34 I see, though. Fuck you inner child, Rule 34 is hilarious.

A-fuckin'-men.

Some people [Myself included :p] use it as a joking term when someone makes pornographic images of something from our youth, knowing full well it can't really ruin childhood ;) Good point though :)

TIME TRAVEL IS RUINING MY CHILDHOOD

GOOGLEPLEX!!!!

EVERY TIME YOU GET IN THAT MACHINE I SUDDENLY HATE SOMETHING WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME

JIGGAWATTS.

What the hell is a jiggawatt???

YOU NEED 6 OF THEM TO POWER A TIME-TRAVELING DELORIAN.

I thought you needed just 1.21 gigawatts, or a Mr. Fusion.

I'm making a Mr. Fusion btw. It's a combination of a blender, juicer and fusion reactor. Watch for my informercial.

I haven't seen the movie since I was about 5, so :V

but yes. listen to a clip of it. you can clearly hear him pronounce it JIGGAWATTS rather than GIGAWATTS. :P

But Paheal's job is to ruin your childhood.

AND IF THEY CAN'T RUIN YOUR CHILDHOOD THAN IT'S JUST A CARTOON PORN SITE.

Woooord.

May I direct my whiners to this page?

Feel free.

I love having my childhood rocking back and forth in the corner of the room.

That phrase around here is simply internet jargin now. Just as in every semi-pouplar internet forum will have faggots fighting for "first post"; whenever someone posts pornography of child-hood cartoon characters, someone will exclaim "MY CHILDHOOD!".

It's a statement for those who wish to make a comment without thinking too deeply beforehand.

Also, I've seen people say "MY CHILDHOOD" to pornography of NEW children cartoon characters. The phrase should be, "My child's childhood".

Aww goddammit I missed the boobs >(

Seriously though that is obnoxious.

But what if my childhood includes the animated Back to the Future?

Animated Back to the Future porn. DO IT.

Ahahaha, man, yeah.. I hear you on that. I mean, I dunno, I can understand recoiling in pain because of things conflicting with preeeeecious memories, but saying that one's childhood is ruined because of FUTURE TIMES, well, they've obviously harnessed the power of time travel and are using it for wrong.

LOL Too true. I've said this but mainly as a joke.
Though I can kinda feel it when someone doesn't like their innocent childhood chracters used for porn. I know I can't stand looking at Mickey Mouse with a boner XD

oh god fucking thank you. I'm so goddamn tired of the expression "______ is raping my childhood!" Worst hyperbole ever.

My childhood rapes everything, it is never raped. I wish it had raped me a little less when I was an actual child, but these days it seems pretty amusing. Also, pr0n is awesome. I find genuine amusement in going out and digging up what I can find about obscure, random things I used to see when I was a kid.

Just because I've seen an overwhelming amount of Robin Hood porn does not mean I cannot enjoy the movie as a classic family movie. People who say that are just pansies in my opinion, just looking for an excuse to complain.

This picture is ruining my present day D;

I agree with ya, lets hope we can all move on.

at first it wasn't ruining my childhood at all.

Then I found Mr. Hands, and everything has changed.

Oh my adulthood ;_;

i hope no one ruins my childhood with bad sonic porn <:3

NO!
NO!
YOU ARE RIGHT!!
YOU AIN'T A BITCH, YOU IS RIGHT! >:|

WHERE DID THE TITS GO FFF

This.

I also love people who click on an image SPECIFICALLY to tell you how sick you are, and that you're just doing it to be mean and horrible and BAWWWWWW.

When I think of the phrase "___ is ruining my childhood", I usually think about the cherishing of a memory of a childhood figure, and then having that memory “overwritten” by a seriously disturbing picture of it.

I’ve had that mental effect tested on me when I was eating breakfast one morning and the radio went,

“How would you like a nice big bowl of cornflakes?” *sound of cornflakes filling the bowl*
“Then with some fresh milk?” *sound of milk flushing into the bowl*
“And a spray of sweet sugar?” *sound of… sugar*
“And then with a big poop on top of it!” *sound of a really… oh I’m not going to describe that*

… Needless to say, I lost my appetite. ;|

This picture ruined my childhood.

lol troo

wheneve I make this comment, I find myself half-joking. I know it's impossible to ruin one's childhood , but it's still a silly comment to make (mostly on porn pics that deal with older shows, obviously). :)

i know; ahahah. i hate when people say that

Personaly I like to think of it as the childhood memories grown up... or something like that

wait there wur bewbs? where?

what if you're a child

It's called hyperbole.

I'm perfectly aware it's a hyperbole. Doesn't mean it can't be overused.

How about "You've ruined my childhood memories?" or "You're destroying my delusions of a tangible past?"

... Huh? Sorry, I was too busy staring at your cute bishounen boy chest. /:3 Hello, sailor~

This upload ruined my childhood. ;_;

We all know the internet needs more porn and not drama, as we all know, every last hard drive will need to store porn and there will literally be no room for childhood memories.

I think 'we, as an internet...' should be used more often.

if that's the case...

is "______ raping my childhood" still an acceptable phrase?

"This has ruined my childhood memories" makes sense.

If say you say porn of say Rocko's Modern Life, it could ruin your memories in a sense that whenever you thought of/enjoyed the show, that porn would enter your mind and make you have to turn it off.


But if you leave off the memories, then..*shrug* If I were Doc, I'd totally rape Marty, then go back in the past and stop it from happening so I could have my cake and eat it too C: and not get fat from it..what...am I talking about.

Rocko's Modern Life? Funny example, that. Ever notice how much innuendo they snuck into that show?

I know xD; But I couldn't think of anything else for some reason.. and it seemed less painful to use that as an example, right?

Eh, my childhood was askin' for it. Turns out my childhood is a total slut! :}

does "... is raping my childhood" count too?

Even moreso. Because 'rape' is a much stronger term.

awwww, but i like my childhood (and thus myself) raped

I don't mind the phrase myself, but only if it is used in anyway but being serious. If you see Care Bears porn, or a Rule 34 of Gargoyles, you can laugh and say, "I can't believe someone did this... this looks pretty awesome, tho."

But if someone is offended by someone else's work JUST because of the subject matter, not only is their childhood gone, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT IT IF THEY DON'T WANT TO! I cannot believe that people don't get that by now!

AHAHAA! I luffs you. :3

So I'm watching the movie, "The Ant Bully", on the Cartoon Network, cuz it's on and I'm banging on a surly unworking computer and can't be arsed to change the channel.

And this ... this is a kid's movie. And there's at least two dick jokes in it. One involves looking at a naked boy. The other ... the other one apparently has a beetle voiced by Rob "Yakko Warner" Paulsen biting a human on his penis.

Plus, there's a lot of ants rubbing their own asses.

So all I can think about is all the porn that this movie could inspire. Or has inspired.

And then I think back to Secret of Nimh, with its blood and gore and mythic kiss.

Fuck your childhood. Just cuz you were 12 doesn't mean it wasn't going on. Welcome to adulthood.

P.S. The worst Indy movie is Temple of Doom, which is only 10% as good as Crystal Skull. Fuck your childhood, again.

"P.S. The worst Indy movie is Temple of Doom, which is only 10% as good as Crystal Skull. Fuck your childhood, again."

THANK YOU.

Technicolor Pie and Agouti-Rex. I know nominate you "the shampoo that is cleaning fur"

Yes, let the pornsters wallow in their own suck, we don't need to watch.

Addendum: If you are over twenty years old, it's not "your childhood" anymore.

Yes! This!

Amen, sister!

Actually, to me, finding particularly good Rule 34's of cartoons I was fond of as a kid actually makes those memories even fonder. c: They also give me further material to stash on my hard disk to preserve those memories... And peruse them at a later date.

Such is the curse blessing of being a furry.

uh yeah
I'm totally with you there
in fact i hate all copied phrases
its not funny if you didn't make it up retards

Childhood like time is in your mind.

It does not exist.

I just look at stuff like Power Rangers and wonder "how the hell is that entertaining"?

Shit. I have a dolorian and went back in time and now I'm 5 instead of moving up to 35...=/ God damnit..this applies to me.

YES x 1000. Goddamn.

Great Scott

(who is this Scott?)

ok splotchy cat, :3 we move on..


on to gawking at yo' bum ! 8U *gawwwwwwwwwk*

Thank you!!!

When I read about Transformers being "ruined" I think, "How can you ruin something that was so awful to begin with?"

But then I'm forced to recall that, when it premiered, most people thought Scooby Doo was the worst thing ever to hit Saturday Morning. The times they do change.

On the flip side, I remember the wailing and crying about Loonatics when it premiered. I thought the show was a bad idea, and poorly executed at that, but hardly the downfall of civilization as we know it.

Then again, I remember how my skin crawled when I saw trailers for the CG "Chipmunks" movie. And I remember the Chipmunks from at least two iterations back (when "Dave Seville" was still around).

Ultimately, it doesn't bother me if people whine about updated TV cartoons ruining their childhood. But whining about all the whining strikes me as especially pointless.

GO TO BED, OLD MAN

I agree except the new Sonic games still manage to do this.

Nerds+Childhood Nostalgia+Nerds with too much time on their hands+Internet+Public Fourms = ^$%AARGHFFDDGHGH##&FUCK23270#@%\.Cognitive Dissonance



This has been your daily reality check.



<End of Line>

HA! Totally yes XD

Though she may be bitching, she's perfectly correct. Seriously Pie, how can you be so honest and yet still be so popular?

I don't know whether to dislike or approve of this message so I'll fav it just in case.

MY CHILDHOOD, THEY RUINED IT!

now seriously, they made a new Care Bear series and it SUCKS... i dun mind rule 34 of it, but crappy remakes ruin my childhood memories

It's impossible to ruin your childhood... however, it IS possible to ruin the memory of your childhood.

Okay, let's take Calvin and Hobbes. Let's say they make a basterdized movie of it. Now everytime you look back on your memories of the comic, the movie will be linked to that memory. Thus, the memory of your childhood is tarished.

Maybe for some people, but my mind doesn't work that way.

As you say, there were crap shows then and crap shows now, and personal tastes now and then, too. Some new versions of previously watched things I've personally liked, others not, this goes for fan works as well, and probably depends 50/50 on actual quality and the time I first watched it. :)
All in all it's absolutely nothing to get so terribly worked up over, rather than to go find something you enjoy watching, or making a show of your own that has all the amazing qualities and substance you're looking for.
Now my computer is dying, but I like this. While I have suffered from the ruin-my-childhood syndrome before, I am now cured of such compulsatory behavior and choose whether to associate things or not. Maybe it all boils down to some fear of change, what do I know :)

I friggin LOVE how she snatched the kitty-boobs right outta the picture XD

Move on...as an internet? Your language confuses me, Desu.

Heheheheh this is pure love. Thank you for this. XD

Such "ruination" can already come about when one looks at the cartoons with which they grew as the adults they have now become. I know well that I've questioned some of the things that I actually liked back in the day.

Anyway, very well done; thanks for sharing.

You're awesome. Simple as that. X3

STOP RUINING MY FOND MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD BY INDIRECTLY CAUSING ME TO ASSOCIATE THE IMAGES OF MY CHILDHOOD WITH SEX AND WHATNOT.

There's a reason why these sites are called Porn sites. FA is considered one too that "ruins" the childhood image of furry characters. That is, if the person bothers to have the mature filter one AND then look at the adult sections, then the person is responsible for ruining their own childhood only because they are the perverts. But wait, the person can't be a pervert as a kid already if they say the porn they see when they are older ruins the childhood since the only way "to" ruin a childhood is to look at porn at a younger age. Which makes this phrase kind of rendundant when they're old enough to look at porn, and has been looking at other porn before seeing ones that include fictional characters.
