So ever since I posted that poll I’ve been getting a lot of hate comments from people saying that I hate indie animation because I criticize HH, HB, and shows under their influence. But here’s the thing, I criticize them because they’re poorly written and rely heavily on childish humor; in fact, there are a lot of great indie cartoons that get overlooked by the animation community because they’re not under HH/HB’s influence. So if you’re an aspiring cartoonist, please DO NOT look at the work of Vivziepop or any other animator under her influence as inspiration.
The Combine Overwatch is so mindbogglingly erotic to me. Civil Protection suits connect directly to the mind, they link to an overpowering central consciousness, they reward compliance with sexual pleasure. I wouldn't survive under the Combine because I'd join the Metrocops out of desperation, unload a magazine into an Antlion Guard, and get the same response that I would to shoving a Hitachi Wand between my legs. I'd have Ellen McLain whispering in my ear about my compliance being rewarded and I would be unable to resist any order she gave me. Whatever you say, mommy. If I throw another grenade into a barnacle nest, will you do that thing where I can't feel my legs for the rest of the day?
