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
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
You're awakening years of newgrounds and flash memories. So much overly racist shit post 9/11. But hey it also brought me into furry shit so..... yeah fucked me up.
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
90% of the videogame sprite websites have disappeared now and I feel like something incredible was lost with them all as a resource for kids making animation.
They had a beta version that could import images and backgrounds. I made a 3d version of the first level of super Mario bros. Shit was tight
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
