‘THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS’ creator Gooseworx says she knows that people are upset about her response after the series finale got leaked. “I kind of just wanted to make a cartoon, & it’s ended up being way more trouble than it’s worth. I really just can’t keep my heart in this thing anymore. It’s gotten too much bigger than me, & I probably shouldn’t be the figurehead of it.”

@TheCartoonBase Its an honest answer. Artist just wants to make art, not be the figurehead of a toxic fan base. Making art, managing a project, doing your own social media.. those are very different hats to wear. It takes a lot out of a person, and it can be hard to focus on what's important.

@iznbart @TheCartoonBase Is there a study explaining why this specific type of fiction (indie, colorful/cartoony, eccentrics characters) attracts this unbearable amalgam of mentally unstable people? It's the fact they frequently leans into the emotional/psychological territory? Well there should be one

@Affil16 @TheCartoonBase Oh god. Its cocomelon for adults isnt it... 🤣 I get the appeal, every character seems to represent the stages of grief or something.. its going to attract miserable people because theyre going to find at least one relatable and cling to it like a therapy doll.

@iznbart @TheCartoonBase I watched the first two ep and liked it. So yeah: no offence to the project. Its fandome on the other hand... I mean: all of them are trash in some degree. But only in these you find ppl willing to destroy your life over a (misunderstood, JFC) joke.

@Affil16 @TheCartoonBase They arent allowed to understand humor, laughter breaks hypnosis.
