>online comics that are .gifs with poorly-made 2-frame animation
This is something I do not like. It's one of the most pointless fads possible.
Why is it so popular?

dude, fuckoff with every realization because of a freshly made thread
>>78235026
Like this?
Because of Homestuck.
Homestuck got crazy popular and now other people are aping things that it did.

>pointless fad
>here are two examples, they are the only one that exist
>2 is a fad. fucking tumblr fad fuck, memecomics, memetumblr, fuck
>>78235026
>Why is it so popular?
because it's easy to do and is based on actual skill
Like coloring the nose, joints, and ears red, it reflects techniques used by talented people
So by pretending to be talented, people can at least pretend that they deserve attention, which gets them pretend attention, which is just as valuable as real attention

... You realize that pic is a troll, right?
Ruins of the Fourth Wall did it first. Suck it homecucks

Pic related is probably the worst of the bunch
>fat asian tumblrette in Sweden is oppressed by shitlords, but gets accidentally stowawayed on a space ship and is flown into tolerant and diverse space Sweden
>the actual comic is even worse than it sounds like
>>78235026
Yeah I know what you're talking about. There are definitely times where it just looks crappy or is distracting, but, for example, I think that pic related uses that technique fairly effectively.
>>78236006
if you look at it for a little bit it immediately starts to just look like a bunch of lines wiggling in the air. it's very distracting in a bad way
>>78236063
Sure, if you stare at it for long enough. But on first impression, I think it adds a lot.
>>78236116
why not animate it more, so it adds a lot on subsequent impressions/viewings
>>78236169
Yeah, the execution could have been better for sure.
>>78236169
Because that would require effort. And effort is SO not 2015.
>>78235898
Eh, this doesn't look THAT bad, this actually uses the animation to make you feel intensity of the rain.
Look at this shit instead, animation here adds NOTHING to the comic itself.
>>78235026
>Why is it so popular?
It's not.
>>78236435
Like, look at this shit. On the last page people just wiggle their fucking hands for no goddamn reason.
>>78236417
Wow, boys sure have it easy. That inherent male privilege is really paying off.
They need to be taken down a peg, amirite ladies?
I dance in the rain to wash away my privilege
>>78236507
... This is about rich people inheriting wealth and opportunity, actually.
>>78236507
You should actually read the thing, friend.
It actually wasn't too bad other than animation and the babies looking like elderly people.

This is why I hate identity politics. Everything comes from your birth status and nothing else matters. It's actually an erasure of identity boiling you down to commodities based in privilege.
If I ever got the opportunity I would fire nukes and end the world
>>78236797
This isn't even about identity politics, this is actually class theory by Marx. Stop embarassing yourself.
>>78236417
>>78236435
>>78236462
>>78236491
All these little wiggling things are pretty distracting and makes reading the comic kind of frustrating.
>>78236524
And that's wrong because...?

What was that quote about folsk who find good company in those who jest about the thing eventually find themselves flooded with people who think that way legitimately after time?
>>78235254
Honestly neither of those things are. It's only acceptable if it's literal piles of money and jewels.

>class theory by Marx
>a guy who was born into a wealthy Jewish family and lived in the lap of luxury and could afford to attend several prestigious universities like Boon and Berlin at his leisure
>learning about class struggles from a guy who genuinely never worked a day in his life

... Because entire point of capitalism is that people are rich because they deserve it by working hard, and now we have people who work hard but are held down by student loans and people who don't work hard but just have better lives?
Like, this is the system which produced fucktruck like Trump, who started out with a million dollar loan and went bankrupt FOUR times, but mistakes that would ruin lives of any other person don't matter to him because he just has so much money that he can't ruin his life no matter how hard he tries.
And when capitalism isn't meritocracy entire concept of free market starts breaking down.
