“Every time someone writes “toon”, I want to punch that person in the face.”

The word avatar originally meant a Hindu god walking the Earth in mortal form. That animated thing you move around in Age of Conan is a digital cartoon. That’s just my opinion, but it’s the right one.

Nope.

Definition of cartoon:

> a simple drawing showing the features of its subjects in a humorously exaggerated way, especially a satirical one in a newspaper or magazine.

> a film using animation techniques to photograph a sequence of drawings rather than real people or objects.

> make a drawing of (someone) in a simplified or exaggerated way.

And the definition of a toon:

> a character in a cartoon film.

Roger Rabbit would hit you with a ton of feathers, if he could.

But its jargon on EVE forum, not an academic talk about animation or nekos.
