Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] over [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
 
* Head over to [[Cartoon Brew]] and try to post a nice, mature, rational argument that motion capture technology is a valid form of animation when used well. We'll be behind you with the marshmallows...
** Actually, just post anything (in a polite or not combative tone) about the industry that Amid personally disagrees with. Before you even get flamed, you'll more than likely just be deleted, IP banned and deactivated from the blog, and then mysteriously gain your posting privileges back 2 weeks later.
** Heck, motion capture is a picnic compared to what happens if you even casually mention anything remotely connected to the question of whether cartoons should have scripts or storyboards, and whether non-artists should write for animation. From there it quickly devolves into a battle over [[Ren and Stimpy|John Kricfalusi]], who's a very vocal advocate of storyboards, and who attracts very rabid [[Fan Boy|fanboys]] and an avid [[Hatedom]], the latter resulting from some of his [[Small Name, Big Ego]] qualities.
* Add ''[[Family Guy]]'' to this. ''Family Guy'' has become a good source of heated debate there for a while, only to come to a head in this [https://web.archive.org/web/20111216025736/http://www.cartoonbrew.com/disney/family-guy-goes-disney.html# commentsrecent blog post], with 105 replies and counting. Jerry Beck himself is a self-admitted hater of the show. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oekDrOQGnYY This person] believes that ''[[Family Guy]]'' should be canceled off the air for [[Dead Baby Comedy|repeating pop-culture reference gags]], and he even bashes Seth for [[Only in It For the Money|making cartoons just for cash over entertainment]].
** Say you like "Not All Dogs Go To Heaven". They'll treat you the same way as Brian.
* After watching ''[[Avatar (film)|Avatar]]'', Jerry Beck has said the following: "It turns out I don't hate mo-cap after all. I just hate [[Robert Zemeckis]] and all his lousy animated films."
Line 106 ⟶ 108:
** ''[[Space Jam]]'' or ''[[Looney Tunes: Back in Action]]''? Discussions on which film is better or worse, are rarely progressive.
*** Or likewise claim in the slightest that ''[[Animaniacs]]'' put too much emphasis on talky dialogue banter and talking heads than on visual humor. And God help you if you even mention that you think ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]'' was closer to the spirit of golden age animation than it.
*** Say you prefer ''[[Pinky, Elmyra and& Thethe Brain]]'' over ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]''... or that you like ''[[Pinky, Elmyra and& Thethe Brain]]'' in general... or [[The Scrappy|Elmyra]].
* CGI vs. 2D Animation. Bonus points if you blame [[Pixar]] for killing the latter.
* Go to any ''[[Transformers]]'' forum and try to comment that [[Transformers Generation 1|Season 1/2 was better than Season 3]] (or the other way around). Alternatively, try to say ''[[Beast Wars]]'' was the best thing in the entire franchise (for extra fuel for the fire, lump Beast Machines in there too).
Line 131 ⟶ 133:
** Say you think Numbuh 5 a [[Canon Sue]].
