hi im sorry if this is a rude or weird question to ask but are you Black? i just saw the backrooms movie and im deathly curious about Black viewers’ perspectives about Clark’s character bc overall i liked him (and the film) a lot but also i feel like theres a couple things that rubbed me the wrong way but i cant really say for sure because i am very nb haha. if you wanted to elaborate on the microaggressions or any other thoughts you had about how his character was handled and treated i would LOVE to hear more!!!!

I will start by saying I am a basic white woman but i try to keep my own biases in check and make sure things don't get pushed under the rug for the sake of "keeping fandom positive", especially since we live in a society where fandom looooves to thirst over the 2 mins of screentime side characters and take any criticism as "not their fault for not relating to the main character for Some Reason"

So if other Black people wanna give their own takes then by all means!

For what I see, it's a familiar case of the director not thinking too much about what it means to have the main character be Black when he has anger and control issues and later on kidnaps his therapist (a white woman), and is generally the only Black char in the film

Obviously not on purpose and Chiwetel was the perfect choice, but its a common phenomenon for (white) filmmakers to not realize the Implications they create when casting a poc in specific roles

Also a smaller note but ive seen many posts on here say no Black person would want a white therapist akaneofbfifbrjr

EDIT: i will not respond to anymore asks regarding this. I simply made a silly post to point out a complex issue that i cannot wholly understand the nuance of cause again. I'm a basic white woman

Random thing, but it reminds me of the Roblox Camping Secret Ending for some random reason.

Also I just saw some idiot being like "no one's ever gonna want to make an indie show again if TADC's finale is bad!!!"

And like. Holy shit what a bleak view of indie animation and people's creativity.

You think PPPIDWTBAMG is gonna fall off because of this? You think Fly and Hey! are gonna get cancelled because a Glitch cartoon flopped? You think My Girlfriend Enid and Stuck in the Globosphere are gonna nuke their Kickstarters because of this? You think smaller works like Mako and the Moon Killers and Starview (yes I'm aware they're made by the same person but still) are gonna never get animated just because TADC failed?

Do you think that?

Do you really think that?

This is why these types of animation ‘fans’ are made fun of. Overly negative, only prefers Glitch and nothing else, and have dumb takes. Just because TADC failed at the finish line doesn’t mean indie animation is going to stop in its tracks. I am going to watch all of these pilots above because these look so damn cool and most people aren’t going for them so see you in the near future.

porkyhman

The fact that most people aren't going for them is REALLY GOOD because that means they'll have a smaller, more niche fandom and there might not be too much toxicity and drama in it (To be honest, we can never be sure, but I HOPE this is the outcome).

It was an impulse buy, & I don't regret it one single bit.

Do you also think that most people who do rewrites are talentless and unoriginal people, who are too scared of their own flaws and lack of creativity that they cling to someone else work and do rewrites as a crutch, as they can't create something original and know that their own creations will never be as popular like the originals?

Kind of a rude question honestly. No? Not really? Rewriting something is a lot of work, and I think it's pretty admirable to write for the sake of writing. It's not like people who write fanfiction get paid. They're doing it out of a genuine passion and a desire to explore an idea to its fullest potential. Also, do you genuinely think that people who rewrite don't have original projects of their own? That's a pretty baseless assumption.

To put it bluntly, you sound like an asshole. If you think people who rewrite fiction are so talentless, why waste your time reading it? Maybe put a little more energy into social grace, yeah?

To answer your question seriously, it's not an idea that makes a project special. It's the unique lived experience of the person making it, and the execution of the idea. Most ideas are a lot older than people give them credit for. No idea is really that 'original' because humans have been telling stories for...uh...a couple of hundred years at least? Idk, a thousand years? Not great at timelines. A LONG time.

Also, who gives a damn about popularity? If you think popular art = good art, you've definitely come to the wrong place.

These three pieces were created on December 5th last year. I remember painting them to the beat of some upbeat music!

Honestly, I tend to think "as long as the vibe gets across, it doesn't matter if the anatomy is a bit off!" 😅 (Though I often end up regretting the balance later…) But if the energy and mood of that moment reach you, nothing would make me happier!

This is amazing!

I think gummigoo was killed off because he's too much of a chad and made jax look worse in comparison. He's a big, strong, kind man who love his family and respect women, but still has an angsty side that made you want to comfort him. Imagine keeping the scenes pomni simping for chudjax's toxic ass when this yummygummy is right there 🤤

porkyhman

If Gummigoo stayed, then I hope Pomni would get to know him more than Jax. ALTHOUGH the writing should still focus on all of the main characters instead of just the males.

Headcanon names for (some of) NINAH characters, by a Russian fan.

If you're active on the NINAH subreddit, you may have seen these already before. Some of them were made in October of last year, and some – are completely new! It's noticeable that I experimented with the formatting and saturation of the text.

Anyway, this is my attempt go give characters meaningful(funny/poetic/fitting) names with refernces to Russian culture and history according to characters' background of people living a small Russian town :)

If anyone will like some of them enough to use those names in fanfiction or any other form of fanworks – please, do! And I'd be happy if you tag me or send me a link to your work, that would be most welcome!!

(Sorry some of these are so wordy. In the words of one wise man, "I said a word once, and couldn't shut up ever since"(c))

porkyhman

Cool!

Oh boy, Glitch's done it again.

so these screenshots of Glassdoor reviews from Glitch employees have been making the rounds on Twitter recently. now i personally cannot confirm or deny the truth of the allegations told in these screenshots, but i do know this: Glassdoor is a website where employees can review the working conditions they face at the company they're employed at. it's a well-known fact that Glassdoor doesn't allow just anyone to post a review there unverified; they have to show ample proof that they actually were employed at the company they say they were. so, we can operate under the assumption that these reviews are, most likely, more or less a legitimate look into Glitch Production's inner workings. however, if i'm wrong, please let me know. tl;dr: these reviews essentially state that Glitch treats its female employees like shit (what a surprise), sets ridiculously unrealistic expectations for its workers, resorts to intimidation and threats on multiple occasions, and even coerces workers to write false good reviews to boost their Glassdoor ratings (among other horrible shit). and Boy, am i not surprised but still somehow disappointed. honestly, i didn't think my respect for glitch could sink any lower, but here we are, i guess. apparently this is the same company that's going to be "paving the way for a new generation of indie artists" or whatever. more like falling back on the very same underpaying, overworking, greedy, toxic abusive bullshit that's been plaguing the animation and entertainment industries for decades now. great work guys, thanks! you're a stain on our history and the future of animation is even deeper in the pits than it ever was. we're one step back from ever redefining and reworking the rampant malpractice, mistreatment and dehumanization going on behind closed doors. link to Glitch's Glassdoor page: https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Glitch-Productions-Reviews-E8656356.htm Link to twitter posts with screenshots and summaries: https://x.com/lumirunner/status/2057519161648333178 https://x.com/lumirunner/status/2057800789977174404
