History WMG / GoAnimate

* Classic Caillou: Classic Caillou was a literal NightmareFuelStationAttendant who forced himself onto patrons of the gas station he worked at (which was a [[TotallyNotACriminalFront mafia front]]) for his sexual purposes. He was shot by an undercover cop he tried to rape.

In Creator/Cs188's [=YouTube=] Poop videos, Billy Mays acts as a police officer whenever things get really out of hand (as with "Stu puts Angelica to sleep at [=4am=]" and "Steamed Chalmburgers"). So who's to say that she hasn't been told by Billy Mays that she has "JUST TWO MINUTES" to come out with her hands up at least thrice.

* [=OfficerPoop247=]: He was a DirtyCop who worked with a drug cartel. He was killed when the [[PapaWolf father]] of a child who succumbed to an addiction brought on by drugs that the aforementioned cartel went on a killing spree against them. If he wants to ascend to the heavens, he has to learn that being a police officer is no right to get away with bad behavior.

* Green Boris: He was a Cinnabon employee who was considered annoying by many of his peers. He was killed when Princess Peach blew up the Cinnabon he was working at, and if he wants to go to Heaven he must not be obxinious.

Most of the videos hint at the possibility that society has descended into a chaotic, MightMakesRight [[CrapsackWorld shithole]].

Think about it, he treats his son like shit, and abuses him too, not only that, but also killing him, and sometimes putting fire on Caillou to die, so he's totally the devil.

[[WMG: Rosie became more of a bitch in Caillou's Teenhood due to her Mom's death.]]

* Alan Cook: He was a [[AbusiveParents abusive father]] to his family, and eventually ended up murdering them (the latter explains why Warren's mother is never seen). He especially disliked his son's wish to visit [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland Paris]], which(along with the park's popularity in British families) was the reason he was reincarnated as a British man who hates Creator/{{Disney}} stuff. He was accidentally pushed off a building at a party a few days after that, and if he wants to ascend to a higher plane, he needs to respect peoples' opinions and dreams. He was lumped into Warren's family to teach him an additional lesson about his parenting skills.

* Gina Delgado: She was a SpoiledBrat in life and succeeded a lot over others and was a bitch about it. She ended up getting [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beaten until she died]] by someone she [[RageBreakingPoint pushed too far]], and she is the {{Foil}} to Dora because Gina needs to learn a lesson about how winning doesn't mean everything, and so does Dora.

[[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures Noddy]]:Much like his canon counterpart, Noddy was a geniunely [[NiceGuy nice person]], but when he died, he got lost on the way to heaven resulting in him ending up in [=GoAnimate=] city.

Barney: a fat pedophilic Depraved Kids Show Host who was caught molesting the child actors backstage who attempted to escape from the studio, but on the run he went into cardiac arrest and died on the spot. His corpse was then beaten and burned for revenge by the kids,their parents and citizens of GoCity.

Explains why all the parents are shown to be dicks.

[[WMG: Goanimate executives tried to get rid of the grounding community]]
Goanimate was initially made as a website with anybody's usage in mind. However, people soon began to use it as a way to make videos of cartoon characters they dislike being punished by their parents. Things quickly went off the rails and soon, the website was seen as nothing more than a joke.

With this trend quickly becoming more visible, Goanimate was quick to catch on. They were not amused that their site was being used for content you would find in cringe compilations. They didn’t want this community to sour their reputation. They decided that the best course of action was to slowly make it more difficult to make grounded videos, starting in 2015 by removing features some that made Goanimate more accessible, such as the casual-level subscriptions and the non-business themes.

People quickly find other methods like Wix and Requestly, both were eventually patched as well. Isn’t it odd that Goanimate would patch out the features wherever the community went instead of all at once?


Eventually, they decided to rebrand themselves as Vyond. With all the ridicule from the past, it’s possible that executives wanted to disassociate themselves with the community. Additionally, they plan to heavily increase their prices so that only people with a decent income can register, sweeping away kids who payed for the service with their parent’s credit cards.

So ask yourself, Was Goanimate’s transition over the past two and a half years just a ploy by the executives to get the Grounded video makers to jump ship?

To say that the fandom was unhappy would be a massive understatement. They went into a flare of rage while making video after video attacking Alvin Hung. However, while the features were gone on the main site, Goanimate for Schools still carried them. This is where they began to make more grounded videos, although Goanimate had yet to remove those themes, which eventually happened in mid-2016.

This will explain why {{Satan}} himself is sometimes depicted as Macusoper with devil horns (take some execution videos, for example). Some videos where Macusoper's, "evil deeds" [[DesignatedVillain were out of his control or not his doing]] could be because people confuse the two thanks to the little differences.
