animation meme community
does anyone remember the animation meme community, specifically from the 2017-2020 era, and how much controversy followed it?? i used to be part of the community when i was younger (though i was more of a lurker than someone who actually had a public figure) and idolized the likes of seelmaru, rosali, kittydog, sleepykinq/twister-doctor, pastarru, baked ponotion, lupisvulpes, sashley... you get the gist. though, i was never really aware of any drama apart from what lupisvulpes did and the whole crazy ass cristali controversy that (i believe?) ended in his/her arrest o_o;;
also looking back it's really funny how so many people got so pissy over mary sues, circle tool and sans fangirls to the point of making cringy hate art that i imagine the creators must HATE now, and how all the fangirls of xyz character were fighting each other so much they would draw art of them killing each other and all that bullshit xD but man that community back in the day was ROUGH. the amount of hate, grooming, sexually suggesting content where there shouldn't have been (because reminder, apart from a select few like seelmaru, a lot of the popular creators at the time were not much older than maybe 15, not to mention how many were even younger than that), gore, obsession towards other people... yikes!
anywho, it seems like almost everyone i idolized from that time is now a horrible person.. sagutoyas, birdie/jack, synnibear/scootalolovessans, sleepykinq/twister-doctor, pastarru, lupisvulpes.. bleh. don't get me wrong, i'm aware that a lot of these people were groomed and stuff which may be the reason to why they're so messed up, but that's not at all an excuse, man. i do kind of miss this era though, yeah everything was cringe as fuck and super repetitive most of the time looking back but the animations were cute and it brought me a lot of joy when i was watching it. i just don't get that same feeling when watching the stuff being made nowadays.. though there are some animators i still enjoy watching even though i've kinda moved on from being super into it :P
heh, sorry for the quick ramble.. i just got a random wave of nostalgia and wanted to share it with you guys xP would love to know your experiences with it if you ever had any :P
