Resolved moving gif reactions

[Smacktard]

hello I am here to host an argument

topic: moving gif reactions

premise: most of the gif reactions make the image more difficult to read/process and don't add anything extra that couldn't be conveyed in a single still image

concession: some of them ARE cool and should be kept... but having too many of them kind of spoil the effect and uniqueness of gif reactions

evidence: doh doesn't loop well, and would look better static. "I declare" doesn't add anything. Seth Meyers doesn't add anything. I'm not sure what the one with Mr. Incredible is conveying -- is he bored? waiting? typing? I also miss the old "This is fine" dog.

related: the static Phoenix Wright reaction needs to be reworked. This one would actually make sense as a gif.

rebuttal: (this is the part where you guys tell me how wrong I am below)

And of course, I already started replacing some of them,

Oh wait

Why not just use a single frame from the "I do declare" gif? Save it as a .png

I'll try to make whatever the popular decision is work. Just depends if I can find anything usable on google or if I have to literally cut out the background from a frame, etc. I'm trying to get some cleaning done before the holidays so I'm gonna chill on revising these for a few hours at least, but I'll rework it later.

That was my general presumption when sharing my opinions. I think a lot of them work well as single frames.

 

[Kat]

I appreciate the effort to cut down on the movement. It doesn't give me motion sickness, but it is physically difficult to look at. Some of them are fine, like I don't mind the animated fire, but the ones that are very flashy are more painful.

The overall size of the panel is fine for me, but I do think some are redundant. I see "I declare" get used a lot, so maybe keep that one in some form.

The real question: why isn’t animated? So many good options

@Local Hero if i have a killing role, i'd like to get my kill in for shortkut right now, if i can

Forget a role… I haven’t been so tempted to just delete a post without any explanation in a while.

Now that I’m done being a shitstirrer, why don’t we have this as a reaction?

So you're saying you nutted in your shell?

 

[The Flame]

I have no issue with any of the reactions, but I have no idea what Badger or I Declare are supposed to be used for. Also I don't know what Are You Sure About That is from, but I've always secretly wished it was the John Cena version.

As much as I love John Cena, Tim win's this one

Fire can definitely be static

The "I declare" one makes even less sense without the animation, TBH. At least the waving arms helped make it make sense. The static image requires me to understand the reference....

I kinda like having some version of a "we're waiting" reaction.

 

[VashTheStampede]

I really like the moving fire animation. It's so satisfying.

I don't get badger or the thing that looks like a rat parade.

(While we're on the topic of reactions maybe we just toss the rolleyes reaction?)

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I get the badger, but never have a good opportunity to use it.

 

[VashTheStampede]

I get where it's from but like....why?

 

[TD]

(While we're on the topic of reactions maybe we just toss the rolleyes reaction?)

I think the new "Objection" react serves the same purpose as Rolleyes without the risk of potentially offending, so I'll +1 this.

They started using it in the roll for 69 thread when there would be bouncing things but then it gets used for randomness

As with damn near everything here… added for one purpose, used for everything but.

Butts were one of the uses, yes

you have a good opinion +rep

Oh, while we're here, aren't Morgan Freeman and the white dude yelling THEYRE NOT WRONG kind of redundant?

 

[Mark]

Pretty sure that was a byproduct of gender neutralization. One originally said “he” while the other said “they’re”, and then one got the edit.

Well, even before that tweak, they seem redundant to me.

don't forget the fair one

You’re on a forum with 4 admins, more than a half-dozen mods, and a couple dozen active members. We are the epitome of redundant, sir.

Fair one is perfect and wonderful and contains nuance

You can be right, or you can just be not wrong

Also, why does this thread mention moving gif reactions without suggesting the addition of the most important moving gif of all time:

Look, it's perfectly square, just waiting to be shrunken down to 4 pixels.
