    🚨CORRECTION: Zone is a man & I've edited the video down slightly for clarity! When conducting research, all articles/resources I used regarding Zone referred to him as “she”, likely due to conflating Zone-tan (mascot) with Zone himself. Thank you to everyone who pointed me in the right direction, especially user @purple7filth ! I always try to be as thorough as I can in my research but I am only one person, not a team, and I made a minor mistake in my research but hopefully not one that impacts the viewing experience overall. I hope you can enjoy the video regardless :)

    Something you absolutely NEED to cover is the story of Cristali, it was SUPER big drama in the animation meme community that I was actually there to witness in real time (when I was like 10 or 11). It's a pretty long story, but TLDR; a bunch of 12 to 15-year-olds were mad that their favorite animator's art was being traced, and their anger resulted in a Guatemalan pedophile posing as an American teenage girl getting doxed and arrested. This was literally Drake vs. everyone before Drake vs. everyone

    One other neat fact is that ZONE's work in SWF and other animation has legit led to changes in how animation is made, especially for sprite work in video games. The techniques they developed for tweening smaller movements have been used in a lot of modern 2D spritework and animated games, and ZONE themselves was an inbetween animator on Skullgirls, specifically for Big Band, Valentine and Squiggly. Zone even got a reference color for Squiggly in SG, and a guest spot in Indivisible.
    The work on Newgrounds has changed the cultural landscape. It's similar to how modern 3D animation relies on a ton of tricks developed by a dude who wanted to make Bioshock: Infinite Porn.

As much as it’s fun to think bioshock caused 3D porn advancements it didn’t do anything that wasn’t already done before, and didn’t actually have as much of an impact on the landscape compared to any other major game. It did help set some stones for styles of 3D art, but that’s basically all its impact sadly. Honestly though the history of SFM porn art it incredibly interesting even if this one event didn’t happen.

    The woman on internet debate reminded me of that picture of a woman laid down on a bed with the "when you see you'll shit bricks" caption. People theorized that this girl was dead and someone took a photo of her corpse, but only YEARS later an actual woman saw the pic and said she was on her period by the spot on her underwear. That was the thing that makes you shit bricks.
    In conclusion, there really were no woman on the internet.

    Having been part of Newgrounds since before the portal opened up to public submissions, the groundswell that site had was crazy powerful, but it DIDNT GO UNCHECKED. Something kinda neglected to mention is that there WAS moderation, community flagging and whistleblowing, and of course the administration and community had the ability to “Blam” a video out of the website. Tom and especially his brother Wade spent a GINORMOUS amount of their young adult lives moderating the content. Not everything that should have been removed got removed but it was a manual process to watch the depraved shit people would post every single day, some even openly admitted it was Wade-Bait to push his limits. They’ve integrated a lot of the same rules and regulations that RUclips follows (no more copywrite music or clips) and hides all the adult content under an “A” filter to turn off and on at your personal discretion, which also hides all the adult ads too when turned off.
    What I’m saying is, it’s not that Tom was a “no fucks given” kind of guy, though he was certainly a guy that liked to step over the edge a lot, he always cared DEEPLY about fostering his community of creatives and creating a platform that, unlike RUclips, the common users can actually voice their opinion and be heard and visibly acknowledged. Shit, I’m a nobody and Tom Fulp himself liked my latest post on the site (something I hadn’t done in like 6 years) and communicates ALL the time on the forum, engaging positively even with harsh criticism.

      in the end, the principle is that parents should know (and care) about what their younger kids are up to online, and that doesn't necessarily need to manifest as watching over their shoulder 24/7. It's a trust thing that's going to be different depending on the personalities and dynamics of the parents and kids.

      1. It shouldn't be everywhere, because kids need safe places on the internet too. But for adults, as long as it doesn't involve hurting the non-consenting.
      2. I don't know how the rest of you handle curiosity, but it's made me far more resilient. The more repulsed you are by something, the more it gets burned in memory, so just leave and don't really thinking about it.
      3. Good music makes most things better. Videogames become more memorable.

    One huge criticism I have to condemn the animator of the NSFW Ankha video was making a safe version of it.
    Whether intentionally or not, that made it way easier to share it, specifically be creepy adults. The dread I feel whenever I saw people doing the Ankha dance was the same as seeing them do the MEMEMe dance.

    I also love watching normies react to content made for or alongside a valid niche. I've been a furry foe more of my life than not, I was born one. Nothing is more natural to me. Seeing a normie react to something with the performative disgust of Eric Cartman railing against Jews or gingers is hilarious. I love it at this point. You aren't CSI or Vanity Fair.

      It was more of a cautionary thing. The internet was far more toxic toward women back then than it is today. Women were practically forced to hide the fact that they were women online because they would constantly get bombarded with ungodly amounts of inappropriate nonsense. So, the rule became to assume that anybody who openly tells you that they are a woman is actually a man who is trying to mess with you and scam you, because the actual women go out of their way to hide the fact that they are women so that they won't get harassed.

      The "rule" was a joke, but some people believed it.
      Women used the internet for as long as it has existed, but men typically had specific interests (such as liking comic books or anime).
      When someone who claimed to be female and had such interests the other users would be suspicious because of the anonymity of the early internet, which meant you could lie about who you were back then, so users joked about it.

    great video! a very thorough refresher on just how inescapable the animation was. it feels like ages since i last remembered the rules of the internet. peak ankha popularity was definitely an interesting time. i used to think it ended up influencing the memescape to be hornier, but, of course, the internet has always been like that, and the only thing that's changed is how many people are online now. i loved this video, thank you !!
