Indie cartoons are supposed to mean artist-owned and produced content

the Indie cartoon "brand", however, is character designs with extremely clashing colors, twitter/tumblr pandering, irony poison, bizarre limbo between being aimed at kids or adults, & self-imposed sanitization

You already made this thread you seething faggot

Why is indie animation all so samey anyway?

People used to talk about the boundless possibilities of the internet, but in reality most of the stuff on it is repetitive, incestuous sludge.

>character designs with extremely clashing colors
I don't think a single character in that Glitch poster has a design I'd call "clashing." Even Pomni has her reds and blues integrated enough to make it look symmetrical.
>twitter/tumblr pandering
I love pulling this image up, because it's like people just don't consider that these new creatives have spent a decade or more on the internet just... making shit, and maybe they're just the audience you think they're "pandering" to.
>irony poison
Isn't the last episode of Digital Circus more against that?
>bizarre limbo between being aimed at kids or adults
Yeah, it almost like there isn't really a hard wall between the two like legacy media companies like to pretend, or something...
>self-imposed sanitization
Did you know that YouTube has weird, inconsistent monetization guidelines? Like, something can be fine in one episode but bleep-worthy in the very next, and you basically have to call tech support to know what's okay this week and what's not. And even then, you can still do a lot more than you can on TV!

Yeah, I confuse Murder Drones with Helluva Boss ALL the time, they're pretty much the same show...

You say that like there are only 3 or 4 indie shows out there.

We just need to replace our whole capitalist system with one that isnt afraid of TITS, thats what it boils down to!
