Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Lol in the original meg just lays down on the ground and af utterly i'm happy she did cuz the fanaily guy death pose got old to me. 010
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Originally from 2025. I initially deleted it cuz i didn't like how rough and rush this was, but after watching it again yesterday i thought it was funny so here it is. The funniest animations are what age the best for me compared to the ones where the quality of art is the focus. 110

Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Shout out to that one lesbian robot from Billy and Mandy. 20 years later and i still think about her from time to time. 010
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 17/09/2026So for me, indie animation writing isn't really a thing, just writing influenced by contemporary culture. Give it ten years, and we're going to have work influenced by that culture. But then again I also do not care for the term "indie" animator so make of that what you will lol 021
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 17/09/2026And so here we are in 2020s, where current political,social, and economical influences lead to culture and humor to become more irreverent, thus irony is more in vogue. We noticed now that the cartoons we watch as adults have these writing synchronicites because we're now adults. 120
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Storytime animations were a byproduct of youtube's stricter monetization practices and watch time>views monetization design policy, thus many of them were comparatively "family friendly" and focused on relatable stories for audiences ranging from middle school to young adults. 120
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The whole "indie animation writing feels samey" commentators don't understand that writing clichés are influenced by our culture. In the 2000s/2010s, Egoraptor was probably the most popular animator, thus a lot of video game parodies with his style of humor were made... 120
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 17/09/2026People who are annoyed with indie animation dialogue/writing don't understand that "indie animations" are just internet cartoons with a fancier label. We don't view 2000s/Newgrounds and storytime animations with this level of scrutiny, so we shouldn't apply for works that are green to story-writing. 174
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I've been meaning to go on a spiel here about the "indie animation writing" discourse, but there was a post on Twitter's for you page and decided to just say what i have in mind. i'm just gonna dump what i wrote there and apply it here. 010
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Multiple sessions of struggling to animate a person going down stairs condensed to three minutes. This aint even from all the VODs. 010
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Dude, just go to the Loonatics Unleashed fandom. They'd love you. 071
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 01/09/2026With the recent pushback Lesbian Space Princess is getting, a openly cheesy but otherwise innocuous movie about a lesbian of color, I couldn't be more vindicated. "Don't harass Gooseworx! Let's harass these queer artists instead, they're not popular so it's okay." The Indie Animation Community. 061
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I don't think artists should feel they need to do this, though. If anything, it's why I dont think social media attention should be the motivation factor. People hate to admit it, but chimptopia is the kind of cartoon that benefits from social media because algorithms are designed around hating. 010
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 22/08/2026People then drew fanart for his characters (""redesigns"",) and toonhive advertised his toon multiple times where they gained positive over negative attention. The internet has been affected by irony poisoning, that you're more inclined to gain publicity by ragebaiting as oppose to being genuine. 130
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 22/08/2026The creator got pushed back for making a joke about Gameoverse, making a joke that references lynching in response, and for his attempt to work with a white supremacist. 120
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Chimptopia reached it's kickstarter goal of 10k. While I think the initial animation was juat an irreverent joke about another indie toon and nothing more, I do think the ironic fans gained from the backlash really affirms this: There's no such thing as bad publicity. 140

Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Bomb ass job dude. You have such a unique voice and performance. Really hope you can get more projects in the future. 110
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Speaks volumes that as soon as Caine comes back, they were having fun, banging each other and forgot about Jax. Absolutely nothing of value was lost. 010

Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Happy pride month, yall. Hopefully we'll reach the day where we can be ourselves without any hatred whatsoever. If I can't see that in this lifetime than I hope everyone can thereafter. 010
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Feels like a clear case of "Loving what we bring, but despise what we are." In other cases, i'd say it's failure on him not having discernible african/black features in his design thus it's easy for him to not be seen as such. 110
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 06/05/2026P.S. i'm black so I have a say in this matter. Just as black people can stand in support of the hellaverse crew, black people are also allowed to find this absolutely unacceptable. 030
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 06/05/2026The last thing I want to say about the hellaverse community, and by extension Vivziepop: If you react to minorities facing a racism problem in your community with vitriol and scapegoatting, then your community has a racism problem. People giving criticism and having empathy =/= being performative. 153
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 06/05/2026A problem i noticed is that instead of separating themselves from their interest in the show, they just act like the characters. Like, just because the characters in both shoes act in irreverance, doesn't mean you! I can not believe I have to say that to adults, some as old as 30+... 110
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Exactly. You can't claim this website is the bastion of positivity while also dismissing the issues people within your community. You can't have positive community unless you remove the negativity. The moment we don't align with them we're seen as uppity. 120
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Especially since these guys are defending one of the most historically demeaning form of jokes against black people. You'd have to be pretty deplorable to put it on both blackface and a 3 minute minstrel show. But the only words from black people they want to hear are those that agree with them. 210
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 04/05/2026I wanna take this moment to say i'm glad that this post resonates with people. I was hesitant at first posting this, but it feels like a breath of fresh air talking about a controversy that's actively shut down primarily by a demographic that this does not effect. Thank you, all. 020
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Brandon rogers being 19 isnt an excuse for what he did. I just think racism against black people is so normalized that non black people hate to be confronted on that behaviour. "It was normal back in 2008,2019,2025,etc!" 1185
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 30/04/2026You can be a fan of a cartoon and the people behind it, but you don't have to be so parasocial where you have to defend minstrelsy. It was wrong back in the 1800s so it was definitely wrong by 2008. 1142
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Bluesky users are so non-confrontational, they're willing to defend/downplay blackface because they dont want the people they like to face criticism for what they did. What Brandon Rogers did was indefensible, but fans are more concerned he'll get "cancelled" over the black people he hurt. 2289
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 23/04/2026You can't get everyone to like you, and that's okay. If you hurt people and that makes you feel bad, then take that as a learning experience so you won't hurt others. Everyone makes mistakes, but it's up to us to decide what to learn from them. 010
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Celebrity status doesn't entitle you to forgiveness. Just like everyone else, they said things that hurt people and while some are willing to forgive, others won't. That's life. Telling people that were hurt to "stop whining" is just telling them to ignore their feelings. 110
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Do I think Michael and Ashley are racist? No. I believe their apology is genuine and it was a case of unfunny edgy jokes told at the worst time and place. Am I gonna hold it against other black people who are upset by what they said? No. Their hurt by the things the people those said. Let them talk 130
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 23/04/2026You can't expect black people to be a part of the indie scene while they're just meant to ignore what makes them uncomfortable within said community. 010
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Mind you, Michael and Ashley had apologized about this because they knew what they said was wrong. If it was nothing they wouldnt say anything but people were hurt and they wanted to make amends for what they did. You're expecting people who were hurt to just ignore their pain. 110
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 23/04/2026It's really easy to dismiss something as a "nothing burger," when you're not the demographic that was the butt of the joke. 110
Soe @soerikoe.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Instead of letting the people who caused the pain to apologize for their actions, you choose to disregard their apology and disrespect the people they're apologizing to. No one asked you, you were never the target of the jokes. If you want black voices in the indie scene, then let them speak. 0113
