Why are indie animation "fans" like this?
Lackadaisy has had like 5 rounds of plushies for one episode
>>156138185Yeah I don't get it either. It's like these faggots don't get that this shit cost money and a lot of money. They've got to make it somehow and if they want to keep things indie this is the only way to do it.

>>156138251good luck at making art with poop and dead tissue
>>156138275I’m making my entire slate of games as a teen and young adult back when making them seemed to require a billion dollar company. All for $100 Claude, 2 basic subscriptions, and free with my phone plan Gemini. So it turns out all the bitchy-ass animator anons who thought I needed to be molded to do the bidding of giant corporations to make anything were dead wrong, all it needed was patience.
>>156138238no, you see, "indie" means cheap or completely free! don't you get it? people used to make free content on newgrounds all the time, and some of them even got money for it! they can just do that!
>>156138358>>156138238All these animators who “just wanna eat TEEHEEHEE” sure aren’t interested in the cost savings AI already brought. Exhibit A: Turnarounds!>>156138185Making merchandise is one thing, thinking that they can demand you to consume their products is another. VivziePop dictates acceptable opinions on her work after blocking a gazillion people with diverse opinions, TADC had people demanding people to accept the “intended message” of the finale even against people with religious objections, every time an “original story” movie or series fails you have a swarm from the toon community accusing people of not wanting original stories because they didn’t consume. They are all driven by the urge to dominate instead of innocent intention to entertain.
>>156138474>sacrificing quality to cut cornersFor shame, Guy. What would your imaginary daddy, John K think?
>>156138566I understand that my comment owned you hard enough to flash back to your family member molestation that made you gay and this is the way you communicate that.Any other defense for indies besides a smug line from someone mentally incapable of understanding my creative process?
>>156138686I don’t give a shit about indies, I just think your creative process sucks ass lmao
>>156138686>Deflecting instead of answering the questionYeah that sounds like something John K would do. Good on you for learning his lessons well Guy!
>>156138751>>156138762>deranged homosexuals looking for social feedback shield the animation artist women who used to do things like whimper at me about getting a “platform” from being challengedNo wonder those women love these perverted freaks lmao
>>156138896Oops I meant social clout
>>156138324you're still investing money, not billions, but still investing. Assets aren't free, programs aren't free. Even at piracing you're partaking in the industry and therefore impacting its economy. You are not free of being a slave of money, silly "artist."
>>156138958The money you’re speaking of does not require merch sales, the topic of the OP. Try again.
>>156138474Your literally only saving grace used to be you used to draw by yourself, to create, even if it was complete garbage, it was still more efform most people are willing to put. Your only saving grace is no longer valid, you are now a fully worthless man.
>>156138896>>156138915>he’s so desperate to deflect that he isn’t even looking at what he’s typing
>>156138983i don't need to try anymore with you, you fucking pedophile are no longer trying neither. You have no value, less than nothing.
>>156139008Lmao, mindbroken gay.Not going to let these gays shield animation women from being told how fucking wrong they were, so I’ll be sending out emails.
>>156139036Bro what the fuck are you even talking about?Ugh who cares, i work at fixing cars (and i'm really good at that and making money on it), and i draw as a hobby, just by passion and personal growth. i won't compare me to Guy, the biggest retard on this shothole...
>>156139036Be sure and let them know how your niece is doing!
I can’t keep this from you guys anymore. The truth is, I’m gay. I love sucking big wieners and my favorite show is Steven Universe.
>>156139085This completely unwarranted personal information is what your question should actually be directed at.Rest assured the animation community shall not forget this night and your homosexual e-molestation gives all the justification for what I’m doing.>>156139117No sorry, holding women artists accountable for being pathetic and wrong losers isn’t “gay,” you have to be really desperate to settle for a woman like that. All their pitiful rhetoric about “needing” to become a merch slave of Glitch shows, etc, is chugging along at a point where it is now laughable. They didn’t recommend it because it was the smart thing to do, it’s because they were too lazy to support individualistic artists.
>>156138988Bro probably needed Gemini to do it for him since he's so lazy lol
>>156138185indie animation would probably be more viable if poodeepai didnt say the nono word
>>156139219Bro, are you using ChatGPT to generate your comebacks now?
>>156138185I'd have more respect for many indie animators if they stopped pretending they are doing what they're doing out of the kindness of their hearts. Just admit that you're like other networks but smaller.If you're an independent creator and also want to sell tons of merch to people, just say it. Stop pretending you're above big studios because you haven't sold the copyright of your IP.
>>156138185Because indie animation fans already watch for freeThey can't wrap their heads around the notion that people need to get paid to make this stuff and just assume it's all fueled by "love"
>>156138185I don't want plushies. I want show-accurate toys with articulation.
