Got into a discussion earlier and I thought it would be a good jumping off point to talk about something I’ve noticed in these circles for a long time. I won’t be linking to individual blogs because this is not an attack post, and I do not condone hunting down any of the people in these screenshots, or this original post. That is not my intention.
So anyway… this post, right? Talking about the Gameoverse/Chimptopia thing?
This was my reply, for anyone curious:
In my personal opinion (duh), I think this is a completely levelheaded response. I wasn’t attacking OP, I wasn’t calling names, I was simply stating that their view on why exactly Chimptopia got called out for the reasons it did may be skewed.
But the replies…
Lemme tell yall about something called Goomba Fallacy.
This, of course, does have its flaws — there simply can be stupid, hypocritical people on the internet after all — but these are usually a teeny tiny minority of a fandom. Perhaps it’s, in and of itself, hypocritical to then generalise this experience of mine, but I have found this to be a glaring issue with a lot of self proclaimed “[indie animation] critical” types.
There is no room for actual discussion as you would assume from a critical space. Despite the fact I could probably count on my hands the amount of TADC posts I’ve made/reblogged on this blog, I was labelled a Michael Kovach/TADC dickrider instantly by these people in spite of the fact that I said nothing of the sort to “defend” him. I stated what actually happened (he made an off-colour joke years ago and apologized). Nowhere did I say this apology was good, that I think people are too hard on him, etc., just… what the issue was.
And sure, you can disagree with the legitimacy of his apology — Kovach is a grown ass man with a stable career that doesn’t need my rando self’s defense — but the fact of the matter is that saying something racist years ago and then apologizing and creating Nick Fuentes merch for a portfolio as well as one of your cowriters making his self insert a chauvinist womanizer as well as portraying the ethnic landlord of your cartoon with monkey like features are two very, very different levels of severity, and it is not hypocrisy to react to these things accordingly.
But that’s exactly the issue: people like this don’t care. As far as they are concerned, any allegation made against someone involved in a cartoon they don’t like gets tacked on as an eternal scarlet letter of shame, and they can pull out that laundry list of letters whenever it is convenient. This is not a new thing, to be fair — you can trace this back to things like Michael Jackson’s trial where he was labelled “Wacko Jacko”. It doesn’t matter that MJ was never found guilty of anything he was charged with, and that pretty much every child he was accused of “sleeping with” has come out and said they were never touched by him, you’re still defending someone the media calls a wacko pedophile. Ergo, you defend pedophiles, whereas I am morally righteous and against pedophilia.
Every single one of those blogs that responded to me was a TADC critical blog or at the very least has reblogged multiple posts with that tag. Which is fine, they are entitled to that space as per Tumblr tag etiquette, but the issue then arises where any outsider who criticizes them in return is automatically a defender. You can’t just critique someone’s post on the merit of it being disingenuous or ill-researched, no, you simply must have a parasocial infatuation with Gooseworx/Vivziepop/RubberRoss/whoever we’re tagging with the “ism” badges this week and want to ride the glizzy soooooo bad. For communities of people that seem to pride themselves on justice and exposing the truth, they… uh, don’t really like when you question their very specific narrative they have concocted.
It results in this sort of whirlpool effect where (especially on Tumblr, but Reddit and Twitter communities as well) because these people likely do not ever step outside of their tags/subs to read the other side of these controversies, they rile themselves up with even bigger and crazier stories that blow whatever the original allegations were out of the water. What starts as “some trans people are uncomfortable identifying with Jax” and “Kovach should have known better to make this joke” becomes “if people like Jax then the trans genocide will be a success” and “Kovach is a covert evil racist definitely calling his coworkers the N word behind his back”. Meanwhile, when neutral/positive fans of these things hear these wild interpretations of what actually happened and then go digging for info themselves, all of these “critics” look like fucking nutjobs ranting about shit that is just straight up not there.
Take every “[indie animation] critical” blog/post you see with a grain of salt. Do research. Because this? This is not criticism. This is group hallucination.
Angry Birds Movie meet the Mighty Eagle scene, but with My Singing Monsters characters (animatic)
TW: Belly jiggle, if you find this uncomfortable.
I saw that Angry Birds Movie became a trend on Youtube, doesn't it?
You might be to yourself "What's that blue stuff on Wubbox and why is he fat?"
That Wubbox's Mighty Wubbox. He had an energy projectile for his "body" and "hair". He's fat because just like Mighty Eagle, he was fit in past, but he lost his shape nowadays (he's middle aged). I thought this was a cool idea to add Wubbox some energy body when it comes to bodyshapes.
Noticing a trend lately of “character who is an adult but who is put in a childhood edutainment role being labelled an actual child and having their self shippers labelled as pedophiles by people too young to have learned cursive in school”
