For the love of Satan, if it's not in the show/book/media, it's not canon.

A twitter shitpost is not canon. Making the abuser secretly a trans woman is gross as fuck and plays into transphobic stereotypes. Zooble is explicitly trans - nonbinary iirc, they/them pronouns - so there's zero excuse for hiding it. Zooble wasn't "implied", they WERE.

Social media shitposts are not in the works, they're not part of the canon.

TADC fans when you call their obsession bad: resort to no actual rebuttal, just insult hobbies.

"Judging art" buddy it's YouTube slop and brainrot, no wonder you like it.

more clowns:

Where is the good? The abuse apologia (no actual punishment for Jax's BS), casual transphobia, casual implied femicide, using a black man's song for his DAUGHTER for a white abuser? Tell me. Where is the good?

Pride flag pfp = invalid is the dumbest take. Gooseworx is a trans woman.

We got:

Suicide victim #1 (pushed to suicide via being ignored and gaslit by The Rabbit)

Suicide victim #2 (pushed to suicide via being isolated by The Rabbit and gaslit when she tried to confront her. All because she told them that she killed her mom)

Nonbinary person who tries to call out the abuser but always gets shut down, and is barely allowed to have any scenes to aerself, and mostly just exists for the development of an ironically also ignored character. The finale has them exclusively speak like an AI therapist.

Bubble canonicaly likes scaring children and semi-canonically would say slurs if he was allowed! Isn't that funny? Isn't that funny? Isn't that funny? Isn't that

The Rabbit (serial abuser who pushed two people to suicide, almost pushed two MORE people to suicide [Ragatha and Gangle], harasses non-men for fun, fantasizes about killing and sexually harassing people, and doesn't get any repercussions until she commits suicide. Though even then she feels no guilt towards abusing anyone other than her friends, plus potentially killing her mom)

Main character that we somehow know next to nothing about (except that she likes Jax) (she'd do anything for Jax) (she tolerates the others but she'd DIIIIIEEEE for Jax)

Plural system in which the host lobotomizes himself to remove his traumatized (because he ate them/forced them to fuse) misanthropic sibling. The sibling gets no personality besides being misanthropic and isn't allowed to say anything once the host forces them out.

Silly Old Guy that has memory issues and possibly Fantasy Dementia but who cares, he's a Silly Old Guy! Except for when he's useful, of course. It's really nice when he's useful, otherwise the only good he does is be funny.

Abuse victim that was forced into a vow of silence by The Rabbit and thus not allowed to grieve a person she cared about. She was also abused by her mother but that's only relevant because The Rabbit was ALSO abused by HIS mother. Also don't let her get mad at The Rabbit it's not allowed

Fish

Abuse victim that gets very little help from the people around her that actively witness her abuse. The best she gets is a relationship with the extremely underdeveloped non-binary person. To be fair, they're a good partner, albeit still weirdly passive about the abuser that keeps harassing xyr girlfriend for the most part. Also she's bipolar coded but who cares about that, right?

Suicide victim #3 (technically #4 thanks to The Rabbit). We know nothing about her except that she's an etymologist and the Silly Old Man's dead(n't) wife.

The only unproblematic man in the entire show. He debuts and dies in episode 2, gets brought back in episode 4 with questionable amnesia, then is dropped. He deals with a lot of existentialism but we're not gonna think about that too hard because that's BOOOORINGG

Anyways that's it. Thanks for watching these guys (especially The Rabbit) run around for three years!

I'm too scared to open them they're so pretty. Loved the movies on Netflix so decided to see if they came in DVD

THEY DO!!!

This just in: women can't ever write anything bad!

Ah yes, because ger gender has anything to do with her shitty writing. Shit writing is shit writing, creator gender be damned.

GLITCH: *wants to put TADC in cinemas*Also GLITCH: *ignores cinemas reaching out to them*

The Grimiore Editions of the manga are so pretty oh my gooooood

[meta-commentary]

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

Thoughts after seeing the movie (leaked) SPOILERS

Someone put the whole thing, subbed, on Tiktok.

Even a 2x speed it was BORING. Like, this is the thing that's supposed to go to cinemas and change indie animation??

It was, to borrow a phrase, so ass. Terrible. Atrocious. I didn't even pay to see it and I want my money back.

Jax, Jax, Jax being so damn centred you'd think it was The Amazing Digital Jax Show.

The mindscapes of Jax. The dress scene. Just ew.

The twist with them just being digital copies? Executed shittily, done terribly. Zero hints. Zero setup.

This was a Youtube finale - not a movie - and it SHOWS.

[viewer-02]

TADC should never have gone to cinemas. There, I said it.

Webseries should stay webseries. They're not cinema compatible outside of a few rare exceptions.

The Amazing Digital Circus is not cinema compatible. It's not even cinema worthy. It's not a feature length film, it wasn't conceptualised as a film, it wasn't written as a film.

You can't just slap a pair of episodes (8 and 9) together a la Zooble and call it a film. That's now how films work. That's now how any of this works.

AND Glitch's latest FB post. "We refuse to change the original vision", "Distributors wanted raw files — that's how leaks happen", "Laws prevent us due to proximity to streaming release". Every single problem you list is a direct consequence of trying to put a YouTube indie webseries' finale into cinemas when it wasn't *written for it*. If TADC was a movie from day one, went the indie film festival route (like FLOW), these issues would be far reduced. Not gone, but reduced to what is normal for an indie film.

You want TADC in cinemas? Okay.

Scrap the current version. Rewrite it as the beats-making-sense, three-act-structure, 90+ min runtime actual movie. Put it through the film festival circut. Do what FLOW did. Do what Iron Lung did.

Glitch and Goose, this is NOT it. Cinemas are for movies, not episodes.

[magentavipuppy]

I think this brings up a lot of interesting points that I wouldn't have thought of without seeing this post. A lot of people don't like the idea of TADC coming to theaters because it could be spoiled, but you bring up the point that it might not be "appropriate" for cinemas since it was not conceptualized as a single movie.

I personally don't think that matters very much. I think it's cool that another indie show will get a theatrical release along with Flow and Iron Lung, even if it isn't a "proper" movie, though I believe your insight into why Glitch is having trouble with it is accurate.

I don't want to be rude in any way. Just wanted to share my thoughts :)

[viewer-02]

Respectfully, it does. Movies are structured a certain way and they work in cinemas because of it. Mashing two episodes together isn't a movie-it's two episodes mashed together.

If I see even one more piece of graffiti on this campus that says "Read Whipping Girl" I'm going to actually lose it. Y'all do know that book played a huge role in making transandrophobes as obnoxious as they are, correct? You do know that book played a part in further isolating trans men and mascs from the community they belong in, correct? Y'all DO KNOW that book made it harder to be a trans man or masc in this day and age, CORRECT? Fuck all of you.

"Oh but it was so long ago!"

This excuse only worked in 2019 when the "long ago" was like... 2010 or 2012. Or if the people were like teenagers.

Making edgy and racist jokes in 2019 as an adult just leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth. C'mon now.

In a few years we'll use the same damn excuse of "oh but it was so long ago" to refer to like 2024 and as the years go by that excuse will only get worse and worse. We need to stop using it eventually man...
