who is this guy?

Miyazaki. Japan's preeminent animator and animation director.

doesn't he put toy goats on his roof every morning just to make kids smile who are walking to school? I saw a documentary about him once. He didn't seem so bad, but idk

I don't know. But I imagine he's probably very sweet as well as being a bit curmudgeonly

Yeah, being sad about the loss of beauty in the modern world is not equivalent to being an asshole. Redditors just like our culture of death

Idk who this guy is but genius's are often very hard on themselves and people who are very hard on them selves often seem like they are being hard on others which can be seem like being an asshole
