True, most artists make art because it makes them feel something, but the only feeling crypto bros are capable of is greed I try to be as open as possible to more unconventional forms of art, but I just don't think people who create nfts in any way count as artists...

[@FuckTheYoutubeUsernameChange]

@@kai_fatallysapphic considering that nfts have no inherent value beyond what they sell for, they shouldn't be considered "art". collectibles maybe, but that term veils the pretty sinister nature of nfts. not to mention that nft "artists" often trace or steal art from other people, only to sell it as their own. so no, nfts are not art in any way.

I really don’t get how they got away with using the south park art style. I mean, I’m not sure if one can legally copyright an art style but surely this is some form of stolen intellectual property.

[@WarhammerGeek]

@@authoraves I think South Park could argue that Dink Doink is purposely confusing audiences into thinking it's affiliated with South Park and take action there. That it's not a clear enough "parody". I'm pretty sure the celebrities might have some options as well for using their voices. Especially if the voices are ripped from a comedy special or podcast. Considering how long it's been since they posted perhaps action has already been taken privately. Or the fact they have such a small audience it wasn't even noticed or considered worth the effort.

[@gj5748]

Considering Disney owns The Simpsons now I can't believe they haven't been sued for their blatant infringement on springy the Springfield spring copyright. "A character that belongs to the people" that shit belongs to Mickey Mouse

[@grayhatjen5924]

That's seriously shocking. The Mouse does NOT play. They've developed these stage versions of classic Mouse movies like "Cinderella". They're pared down to be used in Children's Theatre. Well, several years ago I was the production manager for one of these and dear god I felt like I was signing over my damn life. At shows like that you're supposed to hold two seats in the event that the place you got the rights from decide to come to the show as in come make sure what's on your contract is what's up in person (like capacity, unlicensed copies of posters or the script/libretto, all of the things.) They do not travel to the far away from New York place where this theatre is. TBH I don't even know if they ever check in on places. But Disney? The fines were so extreme if you broke ANY part of the contract, we would have had to cancel the rest of that season and all of the next. (Okay, that may be an exaggeration, but it was still a crap ton.) And every single night I was prepared in the event that someone showed up. Only show I've ever worried over for that reason. Dumb Mouse. tl;dr How TF is the Simpsons-y thing still up?!

[@Twistatron]

For some extra context, the video at 4:51 is made using a website called Vyond. I use it for work, it's good for small corporate videos that nobody outside the company will see. The site is basically a bunch of premade settings, props, animations and characters that you can use to create a video. However, everything in the Dink Doink video is a default template. Default characters, premade templates with that fucking spring thrown in at random points. It likely took less than an hour to make.

[@Underscorezeus]

You know what other cartoon is owned by the people? Felix the Cat, and last I checked he's doing way less environmental damage

[@Cat-fe1fg]

The thing is that south Park was animated like that because they were trying to make more topical episodes right? Like they were working on a short time frame trying to make the episodes feel current is what I heard. So the energy goes elsewhere creatively but with Dink Doink there's no creative energy to go anywhere. None of it feels thought out. They could have done something even with the stolen art style by having original stories not just clips from a podcast lol

[@boojersey13]

Fun fact, every digitally animated episode (aka everything after the first) uses for its main animation frames the construction paper pieces used in episode 1, scanned into a database digitally to be reused.

Like Space Ghost Coast to Coast, where people were actually there for the interview, that was a great show. This would've been fine if they just came up with an original art style, got celebrities that are into crypto to actually be available for an interview, and then just animated it in a way that wasn't like Sam's Choice South Park.
