This guy has a lot of art/movies that he claims is made by VanillaDream34. This person is actually here on Newgrounds but I can't find any of those pictures on here. The closest thing I can find is this one Patreon post but it's locked behind a paywall so I can't 100% verify it.

Although I don't like the guy submitting things he didn't create, and wish the original artist would submit instead, I've checked into this and it's been ok'd by VanillaDream34. :\

I'm not sure about rules against looping, but this is definitely stolen content.

The YouTube channel is named JashinSlayer who has permission to archive the artist's work there, but the original is from an artist named minus8.

Looping is ok, but stolen is not. I looped that submission right off the site.

This movie should get blammed for harassment

Are these not effecivly just gameplay recordings? Even though it's a recording of music making software.

This looks like gameplay footage

He says it's a game he's creating, but it looks super dull. V0te whatever y0u wish, and h0opefully we'll get a blam.

These animations are impostors.

I think this one is a level from Geometry Dash:

And the funny thing is, he used free bandicam which leaves a watermark after capturing.

Aren't meme videos like these not allowed? Since it's just a video edit with no original animation. One is just the cartoon of the spaghet meme that has been edited and the other is a rickroll + stickbug meme.

Plus these are stolen as well, originals can be found here:

_Barracks Roster as of October 1st, 2020:_

Can you believe that 2020 is now 75% complete? It's Autumn already, summer is a fading memory and I think for the better good, most of this year has become a blurred jumble of impossibly chaotic events. Every day is a new square for my "I bet you didn't see this coming in 2020" bingo card. I am glad it's almost over - but I fear that the 4th act and grand finale is going to try to top everything else.

I've become so numb to the insanity that if someone yelled at me from across the street and said "the long-dead and buried Native Americans are rising from their graves outside of Washington DC, riding flaming horses of death and swinging anime-sized katanas, and they are heading straight to the White House", my first thought would be "well, it's about time!", and I'll cover the lower right corner of my bingo 2020 card and move on.

On behalf of al you folks who are currently living outside of the USA, please accept my apologies for that incredibly childish and disrespectful shit-show we called the Presidential Debate. And for those of us who live here, it was 90+ minutes of proof that #45 doesn't deserve to be running a lemonade stand, much less a country. He bullied both Biden and Wallace, continued to yell out of turn, told lie upon lie, and then had the final audacity to attack Biden's family.

I had hoped for a spirited debate, where maybe, just maybe, 45 would act with some respect and decorum. But me, and millions of other Americans, were sorely disappointed. Biden did the best he could to move forward, but even he got frustrated at times, even telling 45 to "shut up". I wouldn't have been so kind. I think I would have let out something like "Mutha F*cka, did I ask you for your opinion? Now, shut your ugly orange face the f*ck up before I come over there and hit you with my podium!" No, not very lady-like, but it would have been very entertaining and satisfying.

I can't wait for Harris to debate Pence. She's going to use him like a rag mop and toss him in the corner broken and wet. Oh, she'll be calm - very calm. And for anyone who knows women, it's bad if we're screaming - but it's VERY BAD if we get quiet.

Okay, sorry about the political commentary. Take it for what it's worth - now, back to the roster:

First off, I want to recognize EGSC @Guthrie, who has now worked himself up to 3rd place in the roster, squeaking past EGS @Jolly. He's doing this by racking up over 2K points per month - AND he's still very active in the forums. I thought I didn't sleep a lot, but he never sleeps. Thank you for leading by example - well done! *Salutes*

Next, I want to congratulate Lt. Gen. @ZomAlien on his recent promotion. He's making nice progress every month - keep up the good work! *Salutes*

And of course, there's the ever-busy EGSC @Exedor and EGSC @Little-Rena, who seem to be living on the forums lately, keeping things in line and helping folks out. It's tireless efforts like yours that help keep the portal safe, Thank you both! *Salutes*

Overall, September was a busy month here in the Barracks, and I'm thinking October might be even busier. But I have complete faith in all of this crew that they will rise up to any challenge and keep everything on an even keel.

*Salutes * As you were...

The man is a person. He has a name.

I get the impression we watched very different debates. Trump was debating Biden and Wallace, latter seeming to interject only to cut Trump off or argue on Biden's behalf. Biden himself refused to have his ears checked prior to the debate despite both parties agreeing beforehand. I think we know what that means. Ear piece.

There were a lot of things wrong with last night. No two candidates were so catty that I can remember. Even Hillary managed to remain more collected.

Biden got away without a yes or no on packing the court, green new deal (said he wasn't for it, but it's on his site), and denied Hunter's collusion in Ukraine, though it's known he received mass sums from the mayor of Moscow's wife Elena Baterina. What for is up to the imagination.

Trump flubbed on banning critical race theory as nebulously "racist," without explaining it teaches whites are racists from cradle to casket, and minorities, particularly black, internalize white supremacy when they're on time, work hard, and value individualism. Smithsonian took down that exhibit not long ago. Trump would be more racist to let it go on receiving tax dollars, but he totally failed to explain that.

I'm overjoyed at the ban. Having read about the kulaks of the USSR over my Russian studies, let's just say I'm not exactly enthused about government trainings to ensure the only race able to be racist according to today's theology is cast in the role of natural born deplorables for the coming ethno-communist utopia.

In Russian kulak means fist. Note, the communist fist is a highly recognizable anti-communist symbol in widespread use from its inception, all the way to black power and the BLM tiktok icons of today. Who were the kulaks? Largely peasant farmer descendants of freed serfs. Some became successful in the period between emancipation from their lords and the later Bolshevik takeover that formed USSR.

Bolshevik can be roughly translated as member of the majority. Bolshevik agitators convinced other less successful malcontents in communities where the kulaks lived to join the majority and take what that these hardworking farmers, successful or not, had earned. How? By convincing them that they had stolen it, that they were privileged. Kulaks were defined as capitalists, descendants of capitalists, or benefiting from capitalism. Capitalism was redefined as a systemic means by which wealth was kept away from the workers.

The Bolshevik mobs ran the kulaks out of town, seized their private property through violence and other means, shipped husbands and families off to the gulag to do the backbreaking work required to prop up social programs, left children to be raised by the government. And what's worse, no one even felt sorry for them.

We see the result. Bread lines, abject poverty, and uncounted swathes of innocent people murdered -- the legacy of socialist Karl Marx, Lenin, and Stalin. We don't even know how many are buried in the many mass graves. Millions were put to the death by the state. Further millions were consigned to death in gulags. No amount of submission to the communist state could save them. Class was all that was needed to condemn them. Now replace kulak farmers with whites, and capitalism with racism, bolshevik with anti-racist, and you see the firestorm of thrice failed ideology rearing its head as critical race theory today. Nothing new under the sun.

This, plus immutable racial checkboxes, is what Trump should have explained he was banning on the stage. But I'm sure Wallace would just interrupt him. That's just where the political wind is blowing. Biden as an establishment politician on the other hand said whatever sounded nice, then moved on to the next line from his handlers. I'm sure he, like Hillary before him, had a list of the questions prior, but he still came out as a footsore, insecure, codgery old man all night.

No need to coddle his public tantrum. Trump is rude? We knew that already. Biden looked so bad pretending moral high ground all this time only to forget about never getting angry about anything, just because one son was called out for dishonorable discharge from the Navy of all places (that's hard!) for something avoidable like drug use, and the other for a lame duck position on a corrupt company's board, complicating our foreign policy in Ukraine. Maybe he shouldn't have lied about knowing Hunter's Burisma involvement after pushing four years false Russia collusion -- if he didn't want his son's actual Russia collusion to reflect on his character!

And then about the rule changes they keep asking for -- if Biden needs training wheels in a US side debate, not to mention can't say law and order for fear of offending violent rioters, how are we supposed to trust him to go head to head with Putin, Xi, and little rocket man Kim Jong Un?

I'm sorry to inject this into the monthly celebration that is the roster. I've just been reading them every so often and couldn't keep my mouth shut. I'm so tired of everything being about Trump. It's exhausting, and don't want to see the same toxic atmosphere that makes the whole of the internet a drag spread to places I love. I've refrained from posting for a long time for that reason. I'm so tired of all the snarky comments, the virtue signalling, things if I were to say them about the left, it's borderline hate speech, but if you say it about the right, it's not only not verboten but speaking truth to power.

Absolutely no offense intended, and no harm no foul. I'm very thankful for what you do. You're consistent and almost always brightening my day. Even the parts we disagree on is just me being frustrated with the political situation in the country. Like we really are watching two different worlds. You see orange man bad. I see antifa and BLM extremists worse. You see danger if he gets elected a second term. I see danger if we elect someone whose party is openly hoisting up robbers and rapists as police brutality victims, without demanding at least full, unedited body cam footage before passing a verdict, buying *solely* black felons' votes in Florida and advocating unsolicited mail-in ballot fraud together with changing the foundations of our union for temporary gain, legitimizing violent protest and rioting.

And then of course there's the new bolshevism. All of the above in favor of it, specifically.

Some of the best people I've met in my life have been cops and military -- including coworkers and supervisors. Most of these are POC. I don't hear them complaining about a racist, fascist regime. They're just as likely as I am to get shot in the face on the job by some unprovoked hateful malcontent -- our neighborhoods, our families -- just as likely to be targeted for extermination by some communist hack. We had someone start a fire here in Cali, not 20 miles from my workplace during the ongoing Portland fiasco.

So I won't apologize for our president's performance, and I won't be voting for the candidate who can't so much as tell violent Antifa and BLM "stand down but be ready" to stand trial for their crimes and be denied bail... but hopefully, next month, I'll have something a little more uplifting to add to the month's roster.

Congrats to everyone, and hope you're all doing well. @GUTHRIE, you never cease to amaze me. Blistering pace! @Little-Rena, glad to see you around.

*Salutes*

Thanks, but it's a little strange having my name attached to a political post, but allow me to have my input on this subject.

Trump is a bellend, a manchild, and someone not fit to hold the office of president, that's all I have to say.

Hi, thanks. But I'm really not on board with the rest of what you wrote.

That's cool. Free country :)

It's a little odd for me the Barracks getting political in general. Normally I wouldn't say anything, but I remember you from forever ago. You were one of the people I looked up to when I first signed up and got set up over here.

I'm not a huge fan of his particular communication style either. Just don't think the opposition and CRT is better. I posted because NG is the last place I want to turn into an echo chamber, where all opinions are equal but some more than others. Already dealt with it on tumblr where admins took months to delete posts form people doxxing me back when I was an atheist democrat trans man who just happened to disagree with stuff like "you take one of ours, we'll take two of yours". I went dark not too long after that. Death threats and fighting an uphill battle get old. When I studied Russian and traveled to the former USSR, that did it for me. I just couldn't not talk about it.

But yeah, believe what you want. You have your reasons just like I have mine. I don't expect you to come around to my point of view. Not everyone is going to agree. It doesn't necessarily mean one is a leftard and the other a racist bigot. If we want to get anywhere reasonably quickly, we should be reasonably civil with each other.

Thanks for the update Byte.

It's pretty clear what's happening right now with Trump's positive Covid Test. If Trump doesn't die, which I don't think he will because I don't believe he has Covid, we have a clear hoax on our hand lead by Mr. President himself.

Someone with so many pre-existing conditions such as him has little chance of survival of a deadly virus like this.

Old age, check

Existing bad health, check

Overweight, double check

Poor, triple check

When he makes it out of this ok with the help of a miracle drug or just because it generally "isn't that dangerous" then the sheep of his following will eat this all up as him being their lord and savor.

If I'm wrong, then he dies. Wow, did I just play a Trump card? Sure did.

Either way, I appreciate the update.

Nothing wrong with memes unless the content is stolen, or the audio is copyrighted, the second ones is a lot of video though, not animation.

Do you like visualisers? Doesn't really seem to fit as an animation submission.

I can't visualize that submission.

Feels like I've seen this same video 20 times now.

It must be good if you keep watching it.

:a lot to consider

I read, and reread, your post just so I could make sure I understood what you were saying (and not). I think it all boils down to a few key points that are affecting all of us:

1) We are a divided country, and there is no real faith in the government

2) We don't know who to trust

3) Increased frustration levels are at an all-time high, and violence seems to be the only release

4) The Covid pandemic has turned life as we all know it upside down

5) We're all looking for relief, to get things back to "normal" - but there is no clear path.

We are all living this, month in and month out; we are all worried and angry and scared. Some of us have had serious financial or family hardships; some of us have been lucky. But I can tell you with 100% certainty that no one is pleased with everything that is swirling around us.

I did not intend to make this a political arena; historically the Barracks have always been a place for the occasional off-topic discussion. We are all people here, affected by real life, and for those of us who spend a lot of their life online, discussing these issues are a way to stay connected. To not feel so alone.

There are many folks with different opinions than mine, and I will defend to the death your right to have them and speak your mind. I made my statements, you replied, and in the end, no offense was taken. I am sure we could have a long, intellectual debate over our differing views, but you are correct - this is not the place for that.

I vowed that I would not let politics undermine what I hold dear; that if started to negatively affect something, I would separate the two. The Barracks, all you folks, and NewGrounds are very dear to me, and I do not want to create any more strife or division than there already is. So, going forward, I will keep politics out of my posts.

@Adr3-n ,thank you for sharing your views. If you'd like to continue this discussion, please PM me. None of this changes or diminishes my respect for you, or angers me in any way. But it did help me understand you a bit better. Thank you for that.

We're all on the same team, folks - we're all human.
