Drawn! The Illustration and Cartooning Blog

That was lovely. Hilarous, fast-paced, wonderfully animated, and free of stifling restraint.

Perhaps the posters above who are offended by it should remove the sticks from their butts.

An imaginative bit of animation -- funny, unpredictable and well rendered. If you're squeamish or prudish you should go back to watching Disney.

That guy needs therapy. I do too, after watching it.

Nice animation. Reprehensible misogyny. How many rape jokes and sexual assault-as-game ideas can you count in this piece?

If this animation were centered around jokes about unpleasant things a white dude did to a black dude, would you just post it as well-done but NSFW? No, because when it's sexist and about assualting women, it's a-ok!

I have been following Drawn forever, and I don't believe you should censor artist works, some of which will be offensive. That doesn't mean you should just post stuff like this noncritically either. It's hateful, however technically well-done.

I think even better, and more psychedelic is Paul Robertson's Kings of Power 4 Billion %"

or "Pirate Baby's Cabana Battle Street Fight 2006"

Both these films make me have new video game flash backs to when I was young.

no more games like this being made? LOL!

most of them pixely. most of them free.

Sure the animation was well made but when put to something so tasteless...

I can't find any appreciation for that.

Less of that please.

it's hateful indeed.

Such stuff is usually called "fascistoid humor", as somebody make fun of a victim banalizing his/her suffering.
I'm against censorship in art and I'm not impressionable at all, but this video is even worse that manga tentacles because it is supposed to be funny and cool.
You can maybe say "it's just an animation!", and in this case is technically well done, but it's too easy to imagine a real life woman being stalked and raped behind all the pixelated glitter.

Leave these violences being funny for the psycho they are made for and let's not banalize them on Drawn, please.

I love this.
Classic! Simple jokes and gags going balls out.
I say we need more videos like this: well done.

Amazing! I've made some weird gross stuff, but that even shocked me. With it's hilarity and quality!

wow, i love this song, don't know why the video came out like two years after the song though

I have to respectfully disagree with your last statement, Emjaybee. Please reserve judging this opinion, until reading the full argument...

To me, the video first projected a severely critical understanding of an age old, minority game. It describes the drive for power made by many aggressive nobodies; their own human sexual behaviors.

It is not clear whether the individual who produced this is an ethical observer, or involved in such behavior. He (as the remaining 96% of us), is probably a little bit of both. Your use of the term misogyny is crucial, it points to the damage that power seeking sexual aggression does to society. All men are vulnerable to being mislead to misogyny, by witness of the (seeming) rewards granted to an unethical few.

Yet while these "rewards" inflict pain upon the deceived vulnerable, they produce nothing for the predators. If the artist is indeed sickened by the all too prevalent behavior described, then the video is an objective realization that Women are sociopaths, too. The vanity and manipulation displayed by the blonde is overshadowed by the trucker's rampage, but she is still portrayed as a shitty person, nonetheless :]

Lacking overt signs of sociopathy, she should can still be considered a victim who learned to manipulate to protect herself. This could have been done through empowering the character, via moral and ethical choices along the route. I agree with your take on the effective message of the video; the female adorned "gold statue" at the end (for instance) only compromises the fight to end misogyny.

Whatever message the producer meant to send, the broad population will take this video to mean that sexual relationships with Women are readily achieved through aggressive, unethical behavior.

To emjaybee:

"I don't believe you should censor artist works, some of which will be offensive. That doesn't mean you should just post stuff like this noncritically either."

So, artwork that offends you should be tagged with the disclaimer: "This type of art should not be made because it is offensive."

That would be an act of censorship.

To mundanemuesli:

"I'm against censorship in art . . . [but] . . . Leave these violences being funny for the psycho they are made for and let's not banalize them on Drawn, please."

That is you quite clearly calling for censorship.

I don't blame you for being offended, or wishing that this video didn't exist and calling for measures to remove it. But then you can't reasonably claim to be against censorship. The end.

LoL pretty cool animation, i ROFL'D when the chick got bloated by the trucker's dick at the end.
