@swordanims welcome to StickNodes.
Animate with detailed figs, not Stickfigures. Trust me, youāll thank me later.
I donāt understand concept of āif itās detailed itās betterā. I use this fig cause I like using it. itās what Iām comfortable with.
You see, detail isnāt EVERYTHING, character design is.
You need to be able to effectively portray your character in a simple and creative way.
Base figs lack uniqueness, and without something to make you stand out, most just become hot topics and are dead in a few months after theyāve peaked.
You can see this with seasonal anime, only the unique stuff lasts, whilst the more generic of the bunch are fun in the moment, but the popularity soon fizzles, and it gets forgotten.
I gotta go to bed soon so Iāll talk about the basics of character design tomorrow
Boi, thereās no need. this is a joke account. Iām Red
Oh
Get this boi an Oscar
Best preformance ive seen all year
no matter what reason gets thrown for not using ādetailed stigsā, is not strong enough
because all of these attacks are just opinions, they arenāt facts
please donāt apply your world view to different people, people are unique to their own

Have you ever seen a full movie made of Stickfigures who punch eachother from start to finish?
Thereās a reason for that
I know this from like 2001 but that’s some low energy fighting
User Banned
Thatās a collection, not movie.
Crisis averted.
iām not talking about that
letās not deviate from my main point
youāre forcing people to use hd stigs for animating, YOU only care about what you think, not what others do
and youāre coming here with the argument āgo to hyunās dojoā, well damn son, iām using sn not flash

I care about progression in quality, you only care about holding this site back. If you want to live in the past and stay simple, go to pivot, go to StickPage, go to Scratch. Thereās so many places that promote that thinking but StickNodes is not one of them.
If you canāt accept that this site is now taking a massive turn towards a brighter future, then youāre just gonna hate this place and people will hate you back.
as a scratch user this is slightly insulting but also somewhat true
amvs, pmvs, memes and maps, but none of what I actually like
that’s why I stay away from most of them, and instead focus on the programming and art side of the community, cause it’s far more interesting
User Banned
I used to use scratch to make games
i still do
ain’t learning c###########+ rn when you got good ol scratch lel
But opinions can be changed! And Iām not even forcing it upon him
Even then, just because these are opinions doesnāt mean to simply ignore them.
Using base figs wonāt get you far in most places nowadays. It wonāt get you far as a hobbyist, or a professional, AND THAT IS STATISTICS.
Most people canāt even name most scarf figs because they all look like each other. Really people can only name a few famous ones (and even then they arenāt as famous anymore) such as Heckray, Kaido, and Mei.
Thereās little reason anymore to use base figs than staying in your comfort zone, but no one anywhere on this planet got anywhere far or made any lasting impact by staying in their comfort zone.
Snow White wouldāve have been as impressive and important to the industry like it was if it wasnāt in full color.
Just like how SNM changed the entire game by not flimsily trying to create a plot just so you can string a bunch of fight scenes together, but instead put the plot FIRST and thatās what gave Epitaph his popularity today!
Not only by playing it safe and staying in the box severely limit your potential, it doesnāt get you anywhere!
This animation industry is lacking so much creativity right now, whether it being because most animated movies that arenāt from Disney or Pixar are almost always trash, and even the hidden gems donāt get much attention, or towards the fact that almost every cartoon nowadays looks the same!
Why would you want to add to the pile of uncreativity?!
*wouldnāt* dammit @ralph LET US EDIT POSTS ALREADY
this is an animation app simplified
this is not a movie app
most people here animate for fun, youāre ruining that fun
btw, itās not statistics until you put out a study which did this
āwhy would you want to add to the pile of uncreativity?!ā
can i facepalm harder than this
have you ever seen stick animations like joe zombie? if you call that classic uncreative just because of the character design and not the story, youāre out
again again again:
iām going to counter this stupid thatās flash argument
itās still stick figures, surely, this app is called āSTICKānodes
youāre telling people what to do in this community
without the conscience of ralph
if ralph was a douchebag, and bans everyone whom he hates
this hating of simple stigs wouldnāt even occur
Being a simple app doesnāt mean you canāt do bigger things with it
You can boil a lot of things down and it would sound simple!
But we shouldnāt let that limit us.
Yes, that animation is a classic, but classics can be dated
Sure Star Wars was revolutionary back then and it can still be enjoyed today
But if you look back at it itās kinda stupid (especially Return of the Jedi)
And Iāve stated this so many goddamn times
If youāre doing something PURELY for fun
Donāt post it on the internet
Because the internet is filled with random people who have no reason to respect you, hell, most of the time they have more reasons to disrespect and hate you
I wasnāt even being particularly mean about it
There are FAR FAR worst peeps out there, and if you canāt handle something as calmly put as my previous post
If that āruins the funā for you, than Iām sorry, you donāt belong on the internet
If something THAT insignificant causes you to lose interest in your hobby, then maybe such a place just isnāt for you.
Also how the hell did Ralph get mixed up into his?
Also we can take more meaning, use, and ability than whatās on the surface.
If we took everything at face value, thatās a name like āSkyrimā alone would probably incite a space game and other than a fantasy game
Itās flat-out stupid to take things at face value. Just because something says STICK-nodes DOESNT MEAN IT CANT BE USED FOR ANYTHING BEYOND THAT
This line of thinking of taking things literally is a f#%king retarded arguement
Also also also.
Creators of social media or whatever donāt control what goes on, they just make some rules and some guidelines and let the community go wild.
Ralph has stated MANY times that his focus is primarily on the app, and just lets the community do whatever whilst occasionally commenting and making jokes.
Case and point, maybe the creators of Reddit donāt like all of the discussions going on, it might even be against their will, but as long as it isnāt breaking the rules and guidelines (and if the owners donāt make any bullsh!t rules specifically to target what they donāt like) then he community SHOULD be able to do whatever the hell they want.
Itās called free speech, and whilst some speech is bad, most is perfectly fair and allowed

But might try a new one at some point
Iād like to write a novel but I canāt hold an idea for 2 seconds without getting it down
You also have to keep in mind that the meta, trends, and overall tone of anything really is constantly changing
Sure base figs were cool back in the day, nowadays they arenāt* (atleast in this community*) and people need to learn to adapt.
youāre being extremely aggressive
i was hoping youād use the ādonāt post it if you donāt want to be criticizedā tarot card
people want to share, like how you share with your friends
iām pretty goddamn sure your friends donāt criticize you for sharing
keep in mind that people that keep enforcing detailed stigs are only in the minority, people hugely disagree with this concept
people donāt need to adapt… to what you want them to do
thatās not adapting, youāre just circlejerking people that donāt want to use detailed stigs
Again, who the actual f are you to tell people what to do.
āthen he community SHOULD be able to do whatever the hell they want.ā
restate that to
āpopular people should shame people who disagree with them, hurr durrā
ONCE AGAIN.
Sharing with a friend and sharing with a complete stranger are 2 entirely different scenario
If you were to show something to someone of relatively good relationship, odds are, theyāre gonna tone down their response. Hell theyāll probably give you unearned praise simply because youāre their friend
You gotta learn to read the audience, know what they want, etc.
This process is simple, make up a quick fig, show it to your parents/friends/siblings/guardian/S.O/what ever, then show it to someone on the internet. The response are completely different depending on their relationship with you.
Iām not criticizing them simply for sharing, Iām criticizing them for always expecting a positive response…..on the internet
People apologizing for simple figs are in the minority also, itās just that this isnāt that big of a community. Only like, 50 people actively post on the activity page, which is why you see such a clear split in ideals. Also no, there isnāt any āhuge disagreeingā there are just big fights usually involving @epitaph200 . Most of the time no one really cares when someone like me post a-not even that harsh-criticism encouraging more detail.
A lot of people think that Epitaph has created this META that if you EVER suggest more detail youāre being just like Epitaph who notoriously uses harsher criticism.
If you simply suggest a more detailed design youāre somehow an circlejerking, trend following, ass-riding, asshole who shoved their opinion down someoneās throats.
Also itās a common fact that popular people shift the trends and meta, you may not like it, but itās true
If you simply choose to reject this meta youāre gonna get excluded. You may not like that, but it happens
I have every right to to judge them, just as you have every right to disagree, itās called FREE SPEECH, and on a PUBLIC website, I can say whatever I want and I have the right to, even if itās a bunch of stupid sh!t that doesnāt help anyone.
Oof, the mincing of words, two can play at that game.
āWoah heās giving criticism, and heās…..not that popular BUT STILL! Heās obviously shaming the person even though he didnāt use any derogatory statements towards the person in his original post! I must get on this quick!ā
User Banned
Absolutely correct with every word. Even if certain parts may have villonised me a little, Iām fine cause it got the message across
iāll stop
iām not even reading your replies due to the ludicrous amount of words innāit
even if i continue to argue, youād never change your point of view due to your lack of second man envisioning
oh and by the way
try not to get butthurt over people not doing what you want them to do
itās the ultimate proof of mine that youāre forcing everyone to do āyour own opinionā
that you donāt want people to have a differing opinion
I really only get mad when they make a stupid excuse like āitās just for funā
You see, thatās the flaw in any arguement
I mean itās not like you were flexible during the agreement
But the futility of arguements like this is that they donāt get resolved
One just leaves, and no one gets satisfaction.
The only thing anyone leaves with is a negative opinion of the other person
But whatever
youāve completely got your head around and missed my ENTIRE point
i was talking about your hate.
not criticism.
once again hate=/= criticism
I NEVER said that suggestions were bad, like what youāre pointing me out to be, suggestions =/= critique
MY MAIN POINT is hate
if you somewhat still havenāt hit the point
how are you telling me that people that hate on people that hate stigs, are in minority?
EVERY SINGLE one of epitaphās comments that is remotely non-helpful but just sounds like hate, are largely disliked
plus
can you read my replies properly, and try not to glance over it, and think thatās what i meant
because youāve literally assumed i meant something else
User Banned
āTry not to get butthurt over people not doing what you want them to doā
Hypocrisy
Why should i even bother with you
hypocrisy… not
iām sure youāve seen me recently commentating over these āstig hateā
thatās because people that hate are so full of themselves
iām tired of seeing you or some followers, ruin a stig, or dislike it till it getās that crap emoji
…………………..
ok ok main point
if you find at least a single comment of mine, on this single argument; that i was telling you both what to do
then your point was right
if not
youāre just trying to find potholes in my wordings to insult me
BYE.
User Banned
Wow, still going
and youāre being full of yourself

Too much fire

And I donāt care
āand i donāt careā
proves my point
YES because you can only really name a couple off the top of your head though I can say I was wrong saying they were the minority, they still arenāt as rampant as a lot of people say they are
Ok letās name people who do dis āStig hateā
Thereās Epitaph, letās get the obvious one out the way
Thereās me I guess, even though Iām not really aggressive much on my original post
Thereās Dezway I guess
Thereās IK4R
Chrono comments sometimes, but it isnāt really aggressive
Ok the point is, this community is really small
There may be thousands of accounts but more are inactive, Hell, most people who recently join arenāt around long
Thereās really only 50 people actively and consistently posting comments and posts and such
Whilst sure the stig fig āhateā isnāt as minor as I mightāve made it out to be, it isnāt as rampant as some suppose.
What qualifies as criticism dude? Itās extremely muddy. There are a lot of forms of criticism, so you canāt definitively say Epitaphās is hate
Critique isnāt always sugar-coated or nice, or always provides solutions. Most of the time they just say whatās wrong with it, leaving yourself to fix it
I DIDNT THO. I try to recommend tips and suggestions based on the proposed ideas shown to me
How is that hate?
Hate is something thatās not helpful to anybody.
YES it exists, but not in the capacity you say.
Epitaph has explained many times why using a scarf fig is bad, or why Scythes are bad, or why Katanas are bad. Now sometimes this is opinions but thatās the thing about opinions, itās your choice to listen, and his rants on why _____ is bad can provide helpful to some folks.
I donāt advise not listening to advice as then youāre gonna end up most of the time with an uncoordinated mess.
Even hate comments can provide helpful if you just asked āWhy does this suck?ā And if they answer ask them āHow can I improve it?ā Or CALMLY tell them why it works in an intelligible way.
Epitaphās comments that just seem like hate is because he doesnāt feel like explaining, cuzā heās done it over, and over, and over, and over!
Heās personally getting tired of having to explain his thoughts, so YES it does come off as mindless hate.
Donāt just say āCause I wanted to do thisā or āIām just having funā because 1. Sometimes this line of thinking can come off a bit pretentious, and is also a lousy excuse, but just because you wanted it this why DOESNT ALWAYS MEAN ITS GOOD.
2. I have already stated this, but if you truly wanted to something for fun, donāt show it to strangers on the internet.
I don’t really hate on undetailed figs
ALSO WHAT HATE WHAT HATE PLEASE PROVIDE A SCREEN SHOT OF HATE THAT HASNT BEEN EXPLAINED OR WASNT TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT.
WHAT F#%KING HATE THAT I CANT EXPLAIN AWAY?!
DONT EVEN SAY YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT EPITAPH THIS COMMENT WAS A REPLY TO MY COMMENT WHICH AUTOMATICALLY SIGNALS IT WAS INTENDED FOR ME!
youāre reply was overdramatisized
āfor fun reasoningā
– it is for fun innāit, what do you feel when people compliment your workload? it is fun to share your work, as itās always how you mostly socialize, notice how friends start by talking about things before being friends
– have you ever noticed you make friends with op players on a certain game, or people befriending you for being op?
āhateā
āintense or passionate dislike.ā
– there was a comment of epitaphās, thatās gotten 12 dislikes
āIt took zero effort to make these, theyāre blank as f**k and only usable for people who make unoriginal and bland RHGsā
you can go look for the comment yourself: http://sticknodes.com/sticks/base-pack-zip/comment-page-1/#comments
now.
come back at me when youāve realized, that this criticism youāre talking about doesnāt exist and itās just hate
remember the difference between
critique
suggestion
hate
opinion
Also once again, you act like thereās nothing you can get from hate
I know most hate is mindless, but if people attack you for stuff like attitude, personality etc etc, then you should probably reflect on yourself and try to see what theyāre going at.
Also f#%k.
I just retconned myself
Letās just classify Hate that doesnāt help anyone as āMindless hateā……ok?
Now this is just personal experience, but usually make friends with peeps at my level, but thatās a moot point, as itās completely subjective.
Everything isnāt black and white, people have different definitions for things and such. Letās take introverts for example,
The definition for introverts is: āA shy, reticent personā but introverts are more than that arenāt they?
The definition for depression is: ā
feelings of severe despondency and dejectionā but itās more than that innāit?
Like I said hate does exist, but sometimes words are more than definitions.
Also m8, m8 m8 m8 m8
M8
Saying the criticism Iām talking about doesnāt exist is flat-out retarded
Epitaph can be calm with his criticism sometimes, itās just that itās very rare
And maybe thatās a problem, but I donāt see it as much as a problem as you do.
ALSO CRITIQUE, SUGGESTIONS, AND HATE ALMOST ALWAYS FALL UNDER OPINION.
āSaying the criticism Iām talking about doesnāt exist is flat-out retardedā
where in the world did i say criticism doesnāt exist
āALSO CRITIQUE, SUGGESTIONS, AND HATE ALMOST ALWAYS FALL UNDER OPINION.ā
hence the subtle word placing
– meaning itās the reason iāve placed it on the bottom of the three words.
I never said you thought criticism doesnāt exist, I said saying the criticism I WAS TALKING ABOUT doesnāt exist

Ronin, get your mirror out yourself and act respectful, youāre acring like youāre some higher being whose completely untouchable when actually youāre backwards thinking and are pulling this community down. Gyro has been correct on every single point, there isnāt one thing i can point out as wrong, Iām a spectator here (not willingly cause this is my post so PLEASE GROW UP AND STOP) so I aināt fighting for his side but i am definitely on his side of the argument simply cause your so damn wrong
āact respectfulā
while youāre here sh!tting on begginersā stigs
would you like to point out why iām wrong stating āwhy simply hate is not criticism, so please stop using the critique tarot card, when someone judges you for being rude?ā
User Banned
Yeah, thereās a difference between criticism and hate. Criticism can be hateful but if it provides nothing itās hate.
Now like i said, just shut up and get off my post
another full of yourself comment
if you actually want me off your post why donāt you delete it, or, maybe?
wait for it…
stop replying?
User Banned
After you
no u
Thereās nothing wrong with having fun but using that as an excuse for shoddy work is bad
You also gotta be wary of the rather hostile environment of the internet
Look up any video about critique on YouTube and most of the time the comments are cancerous.
That doesnāt mean itās an impossibility for people to be nice, but if there isnāt a toxicity rule on where your posting, you outta expect a negative response
Also you still havenāt done what Iāve asked you to do, which is provide an example of my āhateā anywhere that isnāt out of context, and cannot be explained away
iāve already given you an example of hate based on epitaph
if youāre talking about yourself, i donāt have much clue
i have been active a lot more in the previous year before youāve even made an account
right now i barely check comment sections of stigs
Iāve been here longer tho.
Check my stick figures page Iāve been here since 2014!
My lack of activity was due to the fact that I donāt have my own computer, and only got my phone a few months ago (which has become my primary device for the Stick Nodes site)
iām not bragging about how long iāve been
iām talking about that iām 10x less active, so i wouldnāt really know now if someone was being offensive
Ok
Also I usually donāt accept most friend requests based on status
Itās really annoying when someone who hasnāt spoken a word to me to give a friend request
unexpected details
You didnāt wow at Incredibles because it was just a base fig fighting a bunch of nameless randies
You didnāt awe in amazement at Ghost In The Shell (The original, not the normie-fied Hollywood edition) because all the characters were stick figures fighting each other
You didnāt cry sorrowful tears when Bigfootās mom died because she was a kickass fighter whom wore a scarf for no apparent reason.
You liked these movies because they had an interesting plot and characters that even in the fights scenes still had interesting unique ideas, and they knew how to tell them.
Because the story came before the fights
Because the characters were design with more in mind than looking ācool*ā (although in some cases this isnāt a bad thing*)
Because they could keep you genuinely interested without having to have a fight scene every 5 minutes.
Or maybe you didnāt see any of these movies and have no idea what Iām talking about.
I mean, I guess I wouldnāt blame you for stuff like GITS.
