Why do some idiots say anime and cartoons are not the same?

Because they're art styles are vastly different.
One is filled with B grade voice actors.

These are the main differences that I care about.

>art styles are vastly different

Jap imitating Americans - PSG
Americans imitating Japs - Airbender

Different cultures and laws with different dominating styles, period.

Panty and stocking never got a 2nd season cuz of it even tho it was better.

because cartoons are looked down in western societies as childish, but are a valid visual medium in japan

western anime fans dont want to be considered childish and therefore pushed for a separation between "childish" cartoons and "muh deep adult" anime

Anime and cartoons are the same. Just different languages.

The first guy you quoted is pretty insecure about his hobby, yeah, but the other two are just explaining why people happen to think like that.

Cartoons don't have a single style, there's a variety of them.
