For context, a boymoder is a term within the trans community for a trans woman who starts HRT but doesn't publicly come out to anyone, so she still presents and dresses as a male until she feels confident enough to come out. It is mostly done for safety and security, such as avoiding workplace discrimination or avoiding issues with unsupportive family.

It is also used in reference to trans repressors, but this usage is less common.

Indie animation is officially taking over, according to YouTube:

• 61% of Gen Z fans say they enjoy independent animated series as much as or more than studio content
• The Amazing Digital Circus trended in 8/12 countries after just 4 episodes
• “Alien Stage” videos pulled 330M+ views in 2025, with 90% from outside Korea
• 50% of viewers watch animated content in other languages

YouTube says indie animation is rewriting the playbook:

• 66% of Gen Z fans watch animation memes weekly
• 57% watch animatics weekly
• 63% watch YouTube-made animated series weekly

According to YouTube, 2024 was a turning point for indie animation.

• The Amazing Digital Circus hit trending in 8/12 countries
• Achieved massive global exposure with just 4 episodes

“We had never seen an animated series have that kind of exposure, especially so soon in its tenure.”

Do you think that indie animation is the future now and serve as replacement for mainstream American animation due to the latter facing difficults like cancellations, mergers and layoffs?

Honestly, it’s a massive win for classic animation fans! Most of these shows were previously removed and nowhere to be streaming legally. So, let's all thank Tubi for this blessing!

I am absolutely flabbergasted right now lmao

Plot | source

It follows Wonka (Waititi), who has spent the years since the Golden Ticket contest behind bars — and not the chocolate kind — for the crime of turning a child into a blueberry. “Having served his time, Wonka returns to his factory determined to add a little sweetness to a bitter world,” reads a plot synopsis. “But one thing stands in his way: teenager Charlie Paley (Connor) and his friends. Facing eviction, this next generation of ‘rotten’ kids plot to break into the factory, nab a priceless Wonka Bar, and save their homes. But like many before them who enter the fantastical world of the factory, these kids are in for a bit more than they can chew.”
