I always had mixed feelings about this website. I never really liked it and always viewed toxicity running out of its community, I always viewed this website as a domain of millennials who all grew in similar life style and all can relate to each other to a certain degree and share the same interests and similar past experiences whether they were good or horrible things that happened to them. I never saw Newgrounds welcoming to newcomers unless they were the same as the majority, rather there was a privilege to people who all grew in the same period of time and environment. The community it-self was shaped to fit those certain people, it was not welcoming to everyone, or at least that's how I viewed it. Then there's the toxicity of the community that caused several incidents that happened throughout the years that made me really dislike this website, or rather the people who used it. In one side I am envious and wanted to be part of the community during its golden age, but in the other side I really don't like several stuff about it. I can't find the words to express the duality I feel about it, but here I am giving Newgrounds a chance.
