I’d honestly rather ignore creators that do bad things rather than encourage others to harass them more as I think most drama simply gets too out of hand and I don’t wanna be one of those adding fuel to the fire. the set of people who tell others they hate to **** themselves is just very sick to me…

OH THANK GOD HE’S OKAY NOW. He’s not joking about his condition in the slightest though as he’s been having these issues since 2024 so I hope he’ll be open to trying to look for the best help he can to ease his pain right now. But don’t go back to harassing him either just cause he’s controversial.

Animator hotdiggedydemon says he is reconsidering the decision after previously announcing plans to travel to Switzerland to pursue physician-assisted euthanasia: “Decided I’m not thinking clearly, will reassess.”

The amount of people going "It's sad but it's ultimately his choice" pisses me the fuck off actually. That kinda shit is no different from telling a friend "I'm sad you plan to jump off a bridge but it's your choice" like what are we fucking doing here???????

Popular animator hotdiggedydemon has announced that he plans to travel to Switzerland to undergo physician-assisted euthanasia, citing his deteriorating health, fibromyalgia, chronic uncontrollable drooling, and financial difficulties as the reasons behind his decision.

I hate that all of this boils down to just him not being able to afford to just live. like thats it. the american healthcare system said "oh well" to this guy and thats it. idk this is just so sickening and upsetting and i just hope he finds another way.

i wanna make one thing clear: yes, Max has a history of gross racism, and he himself has admitted to this and has deeply regretted it. but if i hear any of you say "LOL RIP BOZO," i'm blocking you on the spot. we're not celebrating fascism killing people in this house. full stop.

Jesus... i know that public opinions are very understandably mixed on Max (my own included), but no one deserves this. our healthcare system has fucking failed us and it's killing people. i hope somehow he's able to find another way. i'm not too confident at this point, though...

DO NOT MAKE THIS ANOTHER ETIKA SITUATION. I hope he has close friends who are trying their best to convince him not to do it as he has a huge fanbase of his own. Sadly there‘s also a lot of people who won’t care about his suffering but that’s not an excuse to just simply watch someone die like this!

afaik about that avatar chatgpt shit, that definitely seems to be an assistance thing rather than a takeover. but thank god that some peeps who worked on it clarified things FAST to prevent confusion about people automatically assuming AI assistance is the same as full control when it’s kind of not…

dear paramount PR, good luck getting out of this one next since after that depp vs heard shit, his career also went down the rabbit hole with it as he understandably hasn’t gotten relevant roles recently until now when that first started years ago. and who else but them to hire him back as well…. 😬

Glad this merger has a big hurdle, but I won’t celebrate too early. David Ellison is REALLY determined to make this happen (even if they don’t get CNN for midterms). If the ticking fees get as costly as the $7 billion walk-away fee, then they may give up. Still good news.

The Paramount and Warner Bros merger is officially on hold. The merger will not move forward until June 1, 2027 OR until the courts provide a ruling on the lawsuits facing the merger.

according to a former pixar story artist who also got let go in 2024, AI has NOTHING to do with the layoffs btw, it’s cause d’amaro era disney pressured them to slash their budgets in order to appease shareholders and catch up to other studios who were making more successful films with lower budgets

mass layoffs at Pixar despite Toy Story 5 about to cross $1 billion at the box office. there is simply no amount of money that will make corporations happy enough to not upend people’s lives.

the animation industry has a big ageism problem granted in some cases some old artists either don’t have the same sauce anymore or are using AI like bitch hartman and gabor csupo but there’s others who are barely making rent nowadays and had to leave LA, like come on give them some extra perks too!

I'm gonna be animating full time again. It was my initial dream job when I joined the industry 15yrs ago. I love the challenge of performance, to play with acting and movement, and I hope to learn a lot from my peers too. Hope to be able to publicly share soon, but til then, I'm so very excited.
