Out of all independent animation communities out there, the Object Show Community (OSC for short) is one of the "biggest" communities on YouTube and a global-internet based fandom. It is the name given to the general fanbase that grew beyond the Battle for Dream Island community and now it focuses on making object shows or talking about them a part of the community, though some make real life competitions too!
Definition[edit | edit source]
The difference between community and fandom is a confusing one. Often, a community refers to mainstream genre fans, while a fandom refers to a community over one specific media (depends on cartoon, comic, film or game).
History[edit | edit source]
Fan activities[edit | edit source]
Most members in the community are kids or teenagers just to watch object shows, have fun or just chat around in general in most subreddits or Discord servers. Majority of people that care about contributing themselves either make an object show or decide to do a camp, originally created by Cary Huang with Ten Words of Wisdom (TWOW). The people either mostly work as voice actors, but there is also animators, composers, revisionists, artists and more such as writers and directors (mostly the creator of the show).
They also advertise their contents through some object show servers on Discord or subreddits such as r/ObjectShows, either to watch them such as videos or episodes, or to call and form a crew to develop it.
ObjectCon takes the advertising in a whole new level for conventions, while the 48 Hour OSC Film Festival shows the shorts made by the community for attention or quality. Speaking of events, Texas Object Hangout and the yearly BFDI events, have one thing in common is that they take place in real life, being in-person events, though they cost money to see.
Reception and criticism[edit | edit source]
The Object Show Community has been often called as some of the weirdest communities ever on the Internet. Currently, there are an estimated number of 1–2 million members worldwide, a small number compared to other fandoms, even after their peak.
Though not mainstream, the OSC has already been criticized for the mass amount of minors (also known as people either under 18). Some have the wrong reasons such as frequent drama (often seen in Discord or Reddit), or just being childish. A lot of criticism also goes to the direction of art styles, mainly the Classic artstyle and Hand drawn artstyle, as "horrible", as well as the members being easily gullible into believing misinformation.
