@thor Is claymation children’s entertaintment too? If so, why are autists not drawn as heavily to it?
@wageslave @thor Claymation is the most fuck ugly animation style ever to grace this planet.
@wageslave @thor It's become pretty niche now with the advent of CGI. Most children probably didn't grow up watching claymation so there aren't that many autists that have become attached to it. I grew up in the early 2000s. The only claymation picture I remember watching was Chicken Run and I remember the animation scaring the shit out of me as a little kid.
Also, I don't know that many autists who are still attached to Play-dough which I think claymation is just an excuse for adults to play with.
@wageslave @thor It seems like claymation is more geared towards adults. I never understood why, but maybe because it's kind of freaky. I do remember a few gross-out shorts on Nick that used claymation. It probably works perfectly there too because you can make some disgusting looking creatures with clay.
@xianc78 @thor For me it was Chicken Run, The Neverhood and Clayfighter 64(lol). You do have a point about claymation being scary, explains why the more recent claymation works are all horror-oriented, like Lee Hardcastle or Trent Shy.
In any case, the only reason I brought up claymation was to argue that like anime, it is another medium and what determines if something is children’s entertainment is the substance in that medium.
