It's like 1 or 2 people that fancy themselves pixel artists/animators. But they're hacks that refuse to learn proper technique, and they surround themselves with laymen and underage coomers so that they can speak with authority and feel competent about themselves while producing nothing but cringe.
Take Redflash for example. His head is so far up his ass he's never going to finish any of his projects because he spends all his time maintaining a social platform. Or a plastic appearance anyways, with peel off sticker gauges instead of real ones.
Like right now he's doing a contest and offering the winner 2 animations of their choosing. Oops I mean - his choosing - they just have the illusion of choice. And he tries to fool himself and other about the amount of work he does. Like, a 4-8 frame animation of a character getting shafted doesn't take months, weeks, or days. It takes minutes. Especially when they're working off a template. He doesn't design anything, really.
So he's never going to finish his WhiteBlade game. He doesn't have the skill level to make RPG maker sprites because he doesn't understand the process of making them. He can't see how tilesets are suppose together. His brain is jacked or something and sees only what he wants to see.
And he can't handle any constructive criticism because he thinks he can crew your food (or porn) for you because he prepared it.
