This is why I can never get fully invested in a fandom. I'm just here to enjoy the ride, why y'all demanding stuff from the writers/creators?? Why are you sending them hate mail???

Crowd funding has definitely played a role in this new "art economy." Donating five bucks to a new cartoon doesn't give anyone the executive power to demand anything from creatives.

The Sonic fandom is the Catholic Church of fandoms. Its lore is incredibly complex, it massive and has been around forever, abuse runs rampant within it, it refuses to recognize canon it considers heresy and some fans only hang around on Easter an Christmas (when a new movie or game releases)

This kind of mixed use urban planning is illegal in America

Eliza McLamb had an apt analogy abt modern fandoms: Fans no longer treat creators as creators. Fans treat creators like stock options they’ve invested in; like they’re part owners of a creator’s work just by *being fans*, and therefore get a say in what creators make/how they act. And it sucks.

The Amazing Digital Circus is the best (worst?) Example of this Ive yet seen. Every choice, every interview, every frame, disappoints one of the shareholder fans and Gooseworx gets flogged by anger masquerading as opinion.

Vivienne Medrano Lucas-pilled confirmed?

I never would have imagined technology that's actively impacting our lives negatively would be so dumb, but this stuff also just lights the fire under my ass to do more things on my own anyway.

I’m an unironic Howard the Duck shooter. Check it out with an open mind. Genuinely one of the most underrated comic book movies ever lol.

We take for granted how precious truth actually is, and how easy it is to change it. There is no excuse that the most documented filmmaker in the history of the medium should have so much misinformation surrounding him. Anyone who purposefully perpetuates mistruths about ANY artist loses my respect.

Part of the reason I’m so staunch against bad faith criticism is that I’ve seen the real world impact it can have on the truth itself. For example, consider that almost any discussion regarding George Lucas as an artist fundamentally starts from position of incredible ignorance and dishonesty.

“The Legend of Korra“ should have been “Son of The Last Airbender”. Make Tenzin in his mid to late 20’s or early 30’s and have him mentor a teenage Korra, as she tries to bring stability to a ravaged world. Keep the story the same, but tweak the details to complement the new framing.

Ba Sing Se is one of the greatest cities in the history of animation as a medium.

perhaps?

I showed my mom the art I make and she started crying

God, I want wait for summer. Gonna try and de-salinate my entire body.

UBI also isn't a world where everyone is paid the same. UBI is the *baseline.* The *minimum* amount of money everyone is guaranteed whether they have a job or not. Under such a system, you could still get a job and make a paycheck on *top* of that. But unemployment wouldn't mean homelessness.

There's an obvious symbiotic relationship between the dramatubers and the angry vitriol you see on social media. What bothers me personally is just how many professional industry types feel comfortable playing within that symbiotic circle knowing they won't get their hands dirtied by it directly.

Realest post I have read today

Never stop from doing something because "Oh someone's already doing this". I mean that creatively. If someone else is doing it, it is because of the love of that thing, and they aren't the only one. Draw that weird smut, make that cool game, write that story. Do it because YOU WANT TO.

The fact that in the short about the Chupacabras they show how everyone can be exploitative and ignorant regardless of cultural background while remaining fittingly cartoony within their logic is why Helluva Boss handles comedy in a manner that is refreshingly charming. Hell and earth as identical.

It’s funny because Helluva Boss actually did a Third World outsourcing joke , but I didn’t really feel offended because A. They made sure to keep the critique squarely on the actions of corporate leadership and B. It didn’t come at the expense of anyones appearance or character.

For me when it comes to people doing bigoted stuff in the past, as long as they’ve shown clear markers of growth (cutting off toxic influences, observable changes in their language and behavior, no longer engaging in said problematic actions), then I feel more willing to give them a second chance.

‘Toxic Positivity’ isn’t a thing, you’re just a maladjusted weirdo who takes issue with people’s sincere enjoyment of something you hate because you’re a narcissistic asshole who believes your right to be cruel matters more than a complete strangers right to enjoy what they like in peace.

I think I sent somewhere around 500 - 700+ job apps over the last 2 years and I only got like… 20 interviews. It’s really bad out there guys. Like, REALLY bad.

At a certain point audiences gain the desire to own your art and they get really angry when you deny them that.

Finally the Lesbian day of Black Sun, their invisibility power doesn't work today!

Just gotta hold out for 2 and a half weeks 😩
