For me it’s Dragon Ball Z, that was a pretty fucked up show tbh.

Like holy shit, all the characters are terrible people except maybe Gohan and Trunks.

    Stickdeath.com, although I was already a teenager at that point. Stuff like ”Crackhouse Clean-Up” where the bad guy green stickmen were obviously supposed to be black stereotypes, but back then I didn’t know enough about joker-amerikkklap racial politics to realize.

    After 9/11, the guy started doing cartoons of racist Middle Eastern caricatures being killed by US soldiers while Korn played and racist caricatures being tortured in Gitmo, and the fucked up messaging was no longer hidden what-the-hell

      I still remember when my elementary school friend did the classic “I made all of these animations.” posturing. He ended up becoming a neo-nazi so now I find it believable

        This is unlocking elementary school memories where I too did stick figure animations. I did like, skateboard stuff and sorta looney tunes style things. Later I figured out i could import images and used video game sprites, got backgrounds in and figured out how to shrink and grow things in pace of the framrate to fake 3d. Good times

      Anyone remember thst program Pivot that was basically just animating stick men and had the same kind look with the pre-built stuff? Cause that’s how I got into animation
