made this so klohe could vent, I guess. And then I leave and come back, and I realize lotsa people need to vent about stuff. Ok.
-
Normally I don’t like to vent because I like to keep things nice and simple. So this will probably be my only vent.
What I really dislike is when people use abbreviations like “lol”, “ikr”, and “gtg”. I know it’s quicker and easier to type that. But come on, why can’t someone just type “I got to go”, it takes like one extra second. And this could only be me, but whenever I see people do this I think of the person as if they were younger, like around the age of thirteen or something. This also leads into the second part of my vent. I really also dislike it when people use TOO many emojis in a text/message. One or two is fine, but you don’t have to post five or ten of them.
I added the emoji part because most people I know that use abbreviations also use a lot of emojis in one text/message. Like I said it could only be me, but whenever I see someone use abbreviations and the mass use of emojis I think of them as a younger person.This has been my terrible rant. Thanks for reading.

Hey it’s me. Woman here to venture
I absolutely despise people who shit on animation and call themselves an animator just cuz they do separate drawings and call it an “animatic” like bitch do understand the meaning of moving pictures? They just annoy me so much, heck, even got into an argument about animations and animatics, they might be different in some way but they do include moving frames. Drawings that have a character move their mouth open and shut is not the same thing and stop saying it’s an animatic cuz it’s a goddamn slideshow you person.
Honestly most these people make those “animation memes” and i have no problem with people who do that, i do it sometimes, i enjoy it, my friends like it but people who just shit on others and say it’s animation and criticize other people who DO animate just annoys me a lott
-
Yeah, I’ve seen some story-time “animators” pull that before. And it mostly works because Lots of their fan bases are children who haven’t tried animation themselves.
-
Replying to:
Honestly some story time animators do animate. They’re just lazy to do an entire video where they just animate a video and we can all agree on that
Now some call themselves animators as their character just goes through a series of drawings with no movement whatsoever
-
Replying to:
Yeah, I just don’t like it when They call themself an animator when it’s just a sprite with no movement.
-
-
-
Why is it called an “animation meme” if it isn’t funny?- They’re mostly just edgy.
Vent brought to you by Preston Corp.
-
Replying to:
I honestly don’t even find them funny. Just enjoyable seeing different types of animations for one trend
-
Replying to:

“meme” doesnt always mean haha funny anymore my dude 😁
i despise animation memes and all that stuff but what they do does fall under it’s oxford definition 😁😁😁takes like 5 seconds to do basic research too so lol
-
Replying to:
Oh yes thanks man 👍,
I was just going off of the second definition 📖 because memes are usually “humorous in nature” 😂.-
Replying to:
emphasis on “usually”
-
Replying to:
Yeah, memes are not that funny here.

ppl always gonna shit on other ppl and ideas

traditional animation vs much superior SN-like animation -
Ye, alot of the “animations” that reach trending on Facebook are just frickin slideshows. My most reacted comment was actually me pointing that out in an edglirds “animation” post
-
My sister does Gacha garbage and calls it animating despite the fact that it is, at the very most, just storyboarding and she also doesn’t combine the images into a gif or video or whatever… so like, it isn’t animation
-
I’m pretty sure everyone hates the type of people who say “u suck” and “I could do better” but they made an animation worse than yours.
-
Replying to:
Lol I completely agree
-
-
it’s an absolute shame that animation wasn’t what it used to be before, especially in youtube
I remember when claymations, stop motions, 2D paper drawing, stickman animations, and flash animation thrived on the platform, but youtube’s algorithm shift forced change, thus alot of these types of content creators got lost in the sands of time, while others adapted into these storytime “animators” or animation “memers”, or finding success in a different field
Now that the algorithm favours people like this, alot have tried doing so but put way less effort into them by just drawing animatics rather than, well, animating them.
It’s such a shame that you probably can gain an audience through lazy animatic memes, or “””””animated”””””” storytime videos, and it sucks
It also doesn’t help that rarely do we sticknodes animators get popular outside of the community, alot of our audience are just fellow sn animators, and just subscribe out of comradery rather than legitimate interest
It sucks and youtube sucks harder, but we gotta make do with what we have right?
-
Replying to:
I would also like to point out the blatant bland parodies that some animators, or well, content creators thrive off of, i remember a channel who used to animate parodies as a sideline project but the audience demanded for him to just make parodies rather than his original work, thus tarnishing his image and making him sorta lose his mind
There’s also lhugeny, i don’t recommend watching him because he’s just a bland formulaic ‘make a song about something popular and animate it very shittily’ content creator with a very shitty artstyle and palette choice that it makes me want to rip my eyeballs out and throw them in bleach, it’s the only reason i really remember him, the songs ain’t even that good, that comes from someone who loves music

I don’t really have anything to add other than full animations definitely take more work in time, (please don’t explode on me) but it also must take skill to make a good animatic.and that I could possibly find an animatic with more skill and effort than an animation. Yes it’s totally uncool to shit on someone else but this goes both ways… (please note I am not trying to say they are the same thing, also most animated memes are boring.)
-
-
-
But
Animatics are slideshows
How you ever seen like deleted scenes on a animated movie or something? That’s what an animatic is. An animatic is basically a test run, you have the key frames so the animators can get a feel for the angles and the pace of the scene, it also helps the sound designers get the audio cues right.

I have walked into a place o dodnt expect to be in…
-
What is this \”Vent\”?
-
my turn to vent
CANCEL CULTURE IS SHIT AND SO ARE KPOP STANS, TWITTER IS A MISTAKE
Cancel Culture is a shitty trend wherein people harass a certain celebrity because of an oopsie, regardless of the magnitude of said oopsie
so along with that, comes the Kpop stans that leech off the culture because \”hurr dudlr cool\” , these idiots are so ignorant that they wanted to cancel joji because he used to be francis of the filth, fuckers keep posting kpop dance clips whenever something major happens, \”oh someone died? well maybe if they stanned..\” yeah how about you take that bullshit and shove it up your ass you ignorant six piece chicken mcnobody
like, i don\’t like kpop, but it\’s still music, i still respect you if you like it, but for goodness sake don\’t intrude the genre on other people, so what if i don\’t like kpop? you can\’t really shame me for not liking it, nor do you have the right to harass me
this leads me to my next point, which is their absolute fucking hypocracy, fuckers will call you \’racist\’ for stating an opinion against their own, but blindly use racial slurs against other people to insult them, i hate these kinds of people, i just wish i could slap each of their faces so hard that they\’d think that their eyes start messing up colors and they\’d think that they\’re high on crack (which they probably already are)
twitter is shit
the internet is becoming shit
kpop stans are ignorant baboons
but that\’s just how the world is right now
I cant stress enough how i hate these types of people, i haven\’t even gotten to the people who use their \”gender\” to block out any form of criticism or push an agenda-
i’ve been binging alot of internet shit and play videos about them sometimes as a background whilst animating, sometimes i just stop to take in how stupid the internet can be, but this is how the world is right now and i cant do jack shit to fix it
-
Replying to:
I mostly watch stuff like that from Optimus
-
-
Wait people wanna cancel Joji?
-
Damn this is why I don’t like Twitter. I’ve been through this shit and i hate it. Like i have a fee friends that like kpop and one of them is a stan but they’re not fucking braindead, they don’t post something with a video of a kpop doing something, hell they’re even aware of how shit the community is
Also i saw this shit and it sums up everything

This site is genuinely one of the worst subcommunities in the Stick Nodes community. It’s filled with unfunny, obnoxious, and cringy idiots who multiply like ants. It’s a literal hivemind of the same jokes. Over and over and OVER again. I barely see any kind of unique or well thought out joke in this site. The people here barely know how to animate jack shit and shit on nearly everything that’s done by popular base animators. A lot of my friends genuinely hate this site because of the community behind it being literally one of the worst. To me, this site is literally just Reddit’s bad qualities mixed in with Sticknoders. I hate it. I genuinely missed when I had actual fun while interacting with this website, but with the community slowly dwindling into shitty trends and horrible memes, it feels like that fun’s been long gone. I’ve been on this website ever since the Community Activity page has been opened, and it sucks that there’s barely any sort of genuine fun stuff that’s being done here nowadays. It’s all the same obnoxious trolls leeching off the site jokes and making them die as soon as they get popular.
-
It’s the horde of children
-
Replying to:
Kinda funny how I’m probably the same age as them yet I act like a 20 year old. A nihilistic, and possibly insane 20 year old
-
Replying to:
Can confirm.
-
-
Yeah I only have self deprecating jokes most of the time and they are often pretty unfunny
-
I know right, such a horrible site..
I – l o v e – I t

Replying to:
and this time I’m not even joking, stick nodes is still one of my favorite sites to this day, even after all the drama I keep a “happy go lucky” attitude.
-
-
Damn this made me feel bad for myself…
-
i mean sometimes there’s gold underneath all this hot shit
i have a clever friend who only briefly went active here until he moved to discord
idk i’m kinda stuck in a weird limbo here, i joined discord servers but i feel like an outcast, sometimes even here being a 2+ year old user, but i make the best of what i have
this comment had no clear direction lol
abit like me -
I feel exactly the same way about this shithole.
I miss the days when this place was actually good -
It’s filled with unfunny, obnoxious, and cringy idiots who multiply like ants. It’s a literal hivemind of the same jokes. Over and over and OVER again. I barely see any kind of unique or well thought out joke in this site.
– welcome to the internet!
The people here barely know how to animate jack shit
– extreme false, sure not everyone is an explosive bullet or something, but what do you expect? People learn
and shit on nearly everything that’s done by popular base animators.
– what
I hate it. I genuinely missed when I had actual fun while interacting with this website, but with the community slowly dwindling into shitty trends and horrible memes, it feels like that fun’s been long gone.
– breaking news, in an unprecedented turn of events, local community member thinks a website/fanbase was better “in the past” before it became popular, more on this at 11
-
Replying to:
ok i admit i took a fat L on this one
but i had to let it out somehow 😔
-
-
I 100% agree. I wish that the site could be back when it was good. But this is becoming like the Fortnight community. Toxic. I only come back here to check if my friends made updates, to update StickNodes: Calamity, or to download a new fig. I used to be on here a lot of no I’m barley even on here from those people.
I believe we all should just migrate to Discord.
-
I can see what and why you’re saying what you are saying but the only issue I can agree with is the shit jokes although what did you expect from a community of kids and teenagers?
This is no professional animation site, just a place where people who use the app can come and talk about things.
With all do respect as well, you are barely here anymore to be able to see the full array of content that users produce so how can you be so opinionated on it. Across the most part we do see crappy content but you should be online more and maybe than you can justify your reasoning.
-
Replying to:
I’ve always been online on nearly everyday, but even I think the site’s kinda becoming drier and drier.
-
Replying to:
ive been getting online everyday, for the past 3 years, i tend to see a few good posts and stuff that are good every now and then but to be honest, posts are getting drier and drier, especially with jokes becoming more obnoxious and troll-ish than actually funny
i wont be mentioning names but i see so much stuff that’s bad that it overshadows the good, what i hope for is for that to be lessened to make the site a better experience. i see a lot of good posts here that actually impress me and are actually pretty entertaining and refreshing. i have the right to be opinionated on stuff like this. everyone does, i don’t blatantly claim it as facts. it’s merely my opinion and i have the rights to say it.
-
Replying to:
I’m not trying to deny you your opinion I was just trying to catch the good side of the site although you’re right the amount of dull boring posts is overwhelming at times if not at all times.
-
-
-
Explains a lot on why you haven’t been posting a lot compared to the old days.
I agree on some of your points, others… not so much.
A lot of the new users try to come up with new, lame jokes, such as “gey” , “dinosean”, and etc. (which is stupid)
Though I haven’t seen anyone actually shit on great base animators recently.-
Replying to:
it’s pretty prominent on the animation spotlights and somewhat on the splash screen contest
-
-
“and shit on nearly everything that’s done by popular base animators.” I feel like that was kinda ushered in by epitaph and Explosive Bullet. If I remember correctly, they were the first ones to basically start the whole “we hate scarf figs” thing
-
Why are you here then?
Wanna answer?
You continue staying here, later to insult the site.
Go to Twitter, or something..
It isnt required to join this place
I’m not mad
I’m just confused on why you’re still here..-
Replying to:
i still see good posts on this website, just because i dislike the website’s community doesnt mean i have to leave, i’ve spent over 3 years of my career on here.
i still like some of the community members here and i just simply wanted to state that the posts here are starting to get drier and less enjoyable. although i do apologize for the fact that i did sorta get a bit too harsh in the middle of my statement, which is a fault on my end.
-
Replying to:
I understand
Apologies for me sounding rude.
I’m not saying leave your career.
Go to places where StickNodes is.
I can’t control you and all that.
-
-
Replying to:
You’re part of the problem, OT
-
Replying to:
What does
“You’re part of the problem, OT” mean. That’s an insult.
You arent helping with anything
Again, depression is my issue.
You forgot about it in 1 day.
I told you this and it slipped past you again
I understand you didn’t see earlier posts, but I told you and you know.
That one day Thoughts did what he had to do, I continued and forgot what I was doing
I eventually let go hours after all of it happened.
Then I see you post about me doing all this.
I was trying to move on that day.
You kept going on
Stop going on about all of this shit and let me do my thing-
Replying to:
can ya’ll like
not argue under my post?thanks
-
Replying to:
You know who started it anyways .
This argument is over
🙂 -
Replying to:
I wasn’t arguing, my wording was merely very shitty
-
Replying to:
i wholeheartedly agree
-
-
-
-
-
-
Honestly, a lot of this is why a bunch of my friends stopped coming to the site… idk what’s so different about me that I chose to stay, I don’t really like seeing posts that make me explode in a fit of anger every five minutes because of their stupidity… which is like, 90% of the community.
-
Replying to:
What was the point i was trying to make here?
I don’t remember actually…I think it had something to do with the fact that a lot of SN related Discord Servers aren’t much better than this.
-
-
Honestly, I agree with the majority of these points. I genuinely miss the good old days of the site, back when it wasn’t as cringy. Being a SN veteran, I’ve pretty much seen the rise and decline of the Site’s community, and it kind of makes me sad. Back then, it was a simpler, better community.
Due to this, I’ve been genuinely curious about how the other subcommunities function. I seem to hesitate whenever I think about it, though. It may be because of my shy/introverted nature, but I dunno.
-
Replying to:
I know I’m biased…obviously
but I don’t see any decline in the community?
in fact I see the opposite, new memes/groups/trends that spawn almost every day and people interacting and posting their own stuff/working on their own OC/stories etcand yes then someone like johstick comes around and shits up the place, but that’s the internet
idk this seems to me just like the common trend of anyone who’s been on ANY online community for a length of time always sees their early years as the “golden years”, mainly due to nostalgia and other factors
i can say the same for me with my old pivot days on darkdemon, before i left it wasn’t the same, but in hindsight, at the same time – it was
-
Replying to:
You raise some fair points, and I admit that I’m most likely being partially blinded by my nostalgia.
The older days of the site just seemed a bit less chaotic in my opinion. Back then, toxic users were rare, people weren’t blocking one another for dumb shit, and things seemed relatively peaceful most of the time.
Don’t get me wrong, I recognize and accept the fact that communities will change over time. That’s a fact that this community taught me as I watched it grow and evolve over my many years here. The constant change, along with the many friends I’ve made here, are the main reasons I’ve bothered to stay with this community; rather than dropping it like some of my friends have.
-
Replying to:
Well maybe because they’re weren’t as many users but I can’t talk I only have been in the community recently.
-
-
-
-
At this point I pretty much come here for the Arcade Fighters group
-
Replying to:
nods in agreement
-
-
Honestly, only reason I came back from months of retirement was to try to make more animations. It’s fun, although it gets boring at times. I never came back for the community. It’s a bunch of overly toxic and annoying people as a whole.
A note: Just steer clear from drama. It’s that easy.
-
nice post!! ^^

Neato
I’ve been in relationships. Most of them are shit. Men are shit. No offense but majority of guys I’ve dated… were shit, well sure most of them weren’t animators or artists and were you’re basic guy who would want to date you cuz you look pretty type, but there was this one guy who was an animator, a flash animator to be exact, we had something in common so we generally talked about the subject and along with other stuff
It was great, guy liked me and i liked him. Then out of a sudden he just, abandoned me out of nowhere, not talking or seeing me for a month. A fuckin month.
Me being the person i am, worry a lot, \”tf why isn’t he talking to me?\” \”Did i do something wrong?\” \”Was it because I didn’t want to use flash?\”
No, no. Fuckin bastard cheated, not with one but 2 girls. Yes he dated 2 fuckin girls, y’know “those” types of girls.
We got into an argument irl, guy says he wasn’t dating them they were just “friends” but I didn’t listen to a single word this guy gave, every bullshit lie he said made me wanna slap his head off, but I didn’t, I turned around and left, trying to not cry cuz I started to like him but he was just like the other boys. They fucking break your heart every damn time you start to like them
Phew that took longer than expected

I never get good results on animation relationships
I mean friends are the fucking best, people on this site are my brothers, people I trust and love, but when it’s about actual LOVE, I see many are fake or interested in fame, I guess the biggest problem is distance, if you want a valuable distance relationship you need someone who cares to at least say hi, I wish I could find someone like that but I’ve only met like 4 girl animators in my whole life so I should start looking somewhere else lol, wait what was the point on this comment--
Replying to:
That you want and/or need a gril?

Replying to:
You make it sound desperate
But you summarize it perfectly-

It’s a tricky topic to discuss although not all men are bad, most are and I as a male can agree with that. Although the idea of something like cheating on your partner or treating them badly never crosses my mind, proof that there guys out there who are good and has good morals.
Give it time.
Something I like to keep in mind is that no matter what path you take in life you will always lead yourself to somewhere good.
-
Replying to:
no, all men bad.

Replying to:
No

You’ll get to where you want to be one day.

çööł group
i hate when people use how much anime they\’ve watched before they say something, for times such as forming an opinion, like broh im just trynna watch hentai gtfo
-
I wonder why the hell I\’m so desensitized that I can\’t get affected by any insult unless I have a bad day beforehand
-
So I have a really good friend. Lets call her Bella. Anyway me and Bella met in September I think of 2014. So five and a half years we known each other. Now I never get any positive attention. And no one ever understands me. But I met her. She is so amazing to me. We have the same background so we understand each other so well. We get along great. We can and have talked for hours. We know and do tell each other everything. I mean that literally. Like she knows EVERYTHING about me XD. Anyway I love her. She is just a great friend over all. But when I say I love her I mean that to the fullest point. Because you see its hard for me to genuinely love stuff. Bu her I really do. But she has friend-zoned me. I wish she didn\’t but I respect her decision. I wish we could be together because I can really see a future but.
Well yeah.
Not happening.-
You guys broke up or?
-
Replying to:
No. We never dated.
-
-
Just do a Leonard (From BBT) and wear her down until she gives in. (Also fun fact I friendzone myself!)
-
Best friends for life tho

like, oof man
but give it some time bro, be content with what you have now
remember:
“do not chase kitty, be yourself and kitty will come to you”

Man
I leave and 10 people join, when I made this for khlohe. At first, I was kinda annoyed.
Then I thought about it.
All these people need to vent, and they picked the group to do it, making the community okay with it.
Khlohe can post here, with everyone, and nobody will give lectures.

Anime am I right?
- Load More






















Lol dnt 🅱️ so slty 😬😓
lol ikr?
lol I agree
Well I agree with the second half, but the gtg part is wack for me. I only say gtg when I got to go, like immediately. One second is one second too much
Agreed
ik it’s ur personal pet peeve n all but
abbreviations were made for the sake of convenience
everyone uses them, might as well adapt
tbh i’d think anyone who doesnt use them is a serial killer or just some edgy kid trying to act mature
it just makes you look like you’re always too serious or trying to adapt to the english language if you always avoid these abbreviations
but your opinion is your opinion 😁
The emojis I absolutely agree with, makes me lose thousands of brain cells whenever I see someone posting/commenting with a shit ton of emojis
I do it because I wanna get off faster
Mom tells me get tf off of that and I quickly type
“Gtg”
Cuz mom doesnt want me typing anymore..
