I heard about something like for a lot of new artists, people will tend to try to start with anime. But since basic anime style is all-around the same kind of style, you end up just conforming with it and not developing your own kind of thing. You end up drawing what looks good in general rather than what defines your style.
Whilst cartoons don't really have a defined style and are so grossly deformed to each artist, you could claim something as your own if you start through that kind of route.
I can sorta see resentment if every student starts up art class and their drawings all look like generic anime X. It represents less creativity I guess? Not saying the top tier anime artists are all the same of course, but those top artists are way past the phase of learning basic proportions.
Just something I'm throwing out there.
