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.
