Animation Meme

An animation meme is an animation (usually around a minute long) of a character intended to be remade by other people with other characters. Animation memes can vary from a short looped animation of a character dancing to a story-driven animation made to showcase a character's backstory. These animations are usually made for fun or to practise animations.

A common criticism of animation memes is that they aren't funny and therefore aren't memes. A meme is defined by google as an element of culture or system of behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation or non-genetic means. Animation memes fit with this definition and are therefore memes.

Another criticism is that animation memes are often made by inexperienced 9 year olds and are usually made from 2 looped frames. While memes like this do exist, this is exaggerated. A lot of animation memes are made by older more experienced animators, but even so, the people that hate and disrespect an entire community because they don't like that literal children aren't all top-tier animators are ironically much more childish than the people that simply ignore the community.

Jimmy: Did you watch that animation meme?
Timmy: I didn't understand. It's not a meme.
Jimmy: Memes don't have to be funny. Memes are features or ideas that spread from person to person.
Timmy: Oh. I still didn't like it.
Jimmy: That's okay. As long as you understand that it's still a fucking meme.

anime

Refers to animation originating from Japan. A once great animation art/entertainment medium that as long since fallen from grace due to it's now large following of otaku, social shut-ins, weebs and people who proclaim themselves as 'Introverts' (when they are really not one and more of just of people who lack basic social skills and don't even bother developing it. Hence the self-proclamation of being an 'Introvert'). As a result, the anime industry as whole (i.e producers and consumers) now, is nothing but a desolate wasteland only filled with the aforementioned cliques.

Brad: "Remember anime from way back in the old days ?"
Thad: "Yeah it used to be great."
Brad: "A proud and a vibrant animation kingdom."
Thad: "Good times....."

Animal Rights

The philosophy according to which many or all sentient animals have moral worth independent of their utility to humans, and that their most basic interests—such as avoiding suffering—should be afforded the same consideration as similar interests of human beings.

Everyone thinks Animal Rights means you can't have animals in your house. That's not true, it simply means we treat our animal companions like family more, we just don't exploit them for money.
