Future Work & Your Suggestions

I'm currently working on a serious animation I've been wanting to make for a while. It's an analogy about leaving religion behind. It will be fairly short and to the point, and I think it will be effective. I also have the next episode of Power Corrupts to consider. Beyond that, I am interested in your thoughts about anything you'd like to see me address (any topic). So, please post any suggestions here, and I will read through all of them. Thank you very much for all your support. I'll try t...

FragerU - The Left VS The Right

Popular channels like PragerU, which spread misinformation, need more push-back. This is part of my attempt to do that. Thank you for your continued support during these strange days.

A Few Words on Religious Bigotry

“As a country, I would hope that part of what we’re learning right now is the destructive aspects of loveless godless leadership. Do not elect people that don’t have God and love in their hearts.” ~Will Smith

As someone who has liked Will Smith throughout his career, it was very disappointing to see him spread this bigoted statement on several massive platforms, and receive plenty of adulation for it. I realize it was a misguided attempt at criticizing our current l...

Satirizing Propaganda

Yes, it really does need to be this ridiculous.

PragerU Parody

I had three ideas for videos: the next episode of Power Corrupts, a video about how religion has affected our perception of justice, and a PragerU parody. 50% of people wanted to see the PragerU parody, with the other two evenly divided. So, I'm working on the parody, which required watching a lot of PragerU, and now I can't wait for the heat death of the universe. The common theme of PragerU is that everything left wing is evil and everything right wing is benevolent. This is surprisingly di...

Early Access! Watch "The AGENDA" before it goes public

Hey, everyone, I'm trying something new. I plan to make this video public on Tuesday, but thought I'd start doing early access for my patrons so you can watch it first and post comments before anyone else. For now it's set to unlisted, so the high views won't start rolling in until next week after it goes public.

I realize this is a little different from my usual content, so let me know if you'd like to see more or less like it. I'll always consider what you have to say, but in the end,...

Experimenting with Character Designs

For the next animation (script in previous post) I'm trying to get a little more loose and less realistic with the characters. Since it's comedic, I'm trying to exaggerate animations a bit more. I think my previous comedic animations have been a bit too stiff. What do you think of this style?

Controversial Script?

I know there are both progressives and conservatives who follow me, and I’d like to keep it that way even though I lean more toward the progressive end of the spectrum. I like reaching people who disagree, because that will help bring about change. While my personal life might look more traditionally conservative, I’m far more inclined to promote progressive values, because progressivism accepts both traditional and unconventional lifestyles, whereas conservatism tends to shu...

Corona Copeland

Thanks for your support, everyone. It's greatly appreciated, especially now when times are rough. I hope this brings you some laughs.

Corona Copeland Sneak Peek

Just a silly part of my next animation I wanted to share with you.

Kenneth Copeland Courtroom Update

Here's some screencaps of the animation I've been working on. Yes, it's as ridiculous as it looks, but I'm not ashamed to say it made me laugh out loud quite a few times as I worked on it. No, I'm not going after the highest fruit this time, but that doesn't matter when you're covered in the BLOOD OF JESUS. Still have a lot of work to do, but it should be done no more than a week from now.

When this one is done, I think I'd like to do a serious one on why I believe it's still important ...

Kenneth Copeland

For the next cartoon, I thought I'd put Kenneth Copeland on trial. If you're not familiar, he's the wealthiest televangelist in America ($760 million). He's the guy who recently blew the "wind of God" onto COVID-19, declaring it finished....right before it skyrocketed.

Is Christian Nationalism Un-American?

 There is an effort in America to rewrite the history of our country and establish favoritism for Christianity, with equality for all being painted as Christian persecution, because they want this to be a country of the Christians, by the Christians, and for the Christians. If you're interested in what's going on with this important fight, be sure to pick up this book: "The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism is Un-American" by Andrew Seidel. You can get it here:  2020-04-07 21:05:48 +0000 UTC View Post

Andrew Seidel interview coming soon

I just finished my interview of the author of The Founding Myth and it went well. We talked about everything from how America's founding differs from the rest of history and why it isn't founded in so-called Judeo-Christian values to how religion has affected the reaction to the current pandemic. The final video will be around 50 minutes long, so the new longest video uploaded to DarkMatter2525. I hope you all find it as interesting as I did, and I hope you're all doing well. The vid...

God's Sickest Plan

There’s so much bad news lately, and I’m going to address it - I want to address it - but as I sit isolated in my home, constantly being inundated with deadly serious information, for now I just wanted to put something out there that’s carefree and funny. I hope you understand. I just think a bit of normalcy from the world we used to know would be a refreshing change from recent news. I had a lot of fun making this animation (especially the end); I think it was even sort of therapeutic....

March Update During Stressful Times

I hope everyone is coping with all the stressful things going on right now. A lot is happening, and I once thought I could predict likely outcomes, but so much now changes from day to day that I've completely given up even trying to speculate. As places around me close and people are encouraged to stay home, I find it difficult to concentrate on what I usually do. So, I've taken on a project that is different from my usual material, because it requires much less creative input.

For inst...

The Least Among Us

Thank you for making it possible for me to continue this series. Earth is falling into turmoil and Yahweh must decide what to do, or not to do. Jeffery and Lucy must contend with His decision in their efforts to get Yahweh to fail His test. On the other hand, failing His test means destroying the people of Earth. Will Jeffery really allow that to happen?

These episodes are always a balance of moving the story forward, and posing a relevant argument that I want to highlight. In this case...

Working on Power Corrupts

There were no updates for a while, because I needed something to show you, and frankly it has been a lot of work to get to that point. This time, I wanted to get more detailed, so I put together a few city blocks, carefully placing everything from buildings, to signs and garbage.

This is part 17, and we left off with Jeffery and Lucy working to undermine Earth's peace so that Yahweh would fail his test. The dystopia is taking hold, and in this episode Yahweh must decide if He will inter...

Early Access For Next Video!

I'm not applying Patreon funding to this video, because it's purely recreational and not my usual topics, so there will be only one funded video for January. As a movie lover, I really like this one (and I love doing parodies). I finished it a week before I plan to make it public on YouTube, so I thought I'd release it on Patreon first so you can watch it before everyone else. The video will remain unlisted until Tuesday.

World's Worst Rape Punishment

My top patron, Josh, suggested I do this part of the bible and I thought it was a good idea, so I gave it the DarkMatter treatment. It's pretty messed up.

God's Chalkboard

God has a plan, so He sometimes uses a chalkboard to write it down. The story in Judges 19-21 gets a little absurd, so God has to break out his chalkboard again so that everything is clear and understandable. See? No, I won't explain why God's severed face is clinging to the board. You'll just have to wait and see. Don't worry, though; He's fine.

Genesis 19 VS Judges 19

The two images above are from two separate videos. The older brighter one is from my Sodom & Gomorrah video from a few years ago, covering Genesis 19. The newer one with the goat in underwear is the animation I'm working on now, covering Judges 19. Slight tangent: I sought my lovely wife's advice about whether the goat's underwear was sexy enough, and for some reason she lost the ability to speak to me for several minutes. She has only herself to blame, because after all, she chose me. 2020-01-08 20:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Future Videos

My last bible video on Numbers 22 (Balaam, Balak, and the talking donkey) is doing quite well. People really seem to like my bible translations. I've had several requests for the Levite and his concubine story from Judges 19, so I might be doing that soon. I'd also like to continue the Power Corrupts series soon. I'm impatient for you to find out what happens with Yahweh's test and Jeffery's plan.

I also had some ideas for doing live-streams. God has done a few silly streams playing gam...

The War on Christmas

Here's my latest Patreon supported animation. Thank you, everyone! I couldn't do this without you.

War on Christmas Coming Soon

I'm working hard on that War on Christmas video so that it's done at least a week before Christmas. It's turning out really well. I think my first Twitch stream went really well too. A lot of people seemed to like it and I gained quite a few followers. It's just silly fun, but the stream recording is still up on Twitch if you want to watch it. More streams to come. https://www.twitch.tv/darkmatter2525/videos&n...

God is Coming to Twitch

I'll be doing some silly live shows on Twitch. None of it is Patreon supported, but just in case some of you want to see the God character acting a fool live, the first show will be this Friday the 13th, 7pm EST. Twitch could end up being another way to support the channel though, so hopefully I do some good shows. Still working on that Christmas video, which has some pretty hilarious performances. I added a few good lines to the script and I'll post some visual updates later. Thanks, everyon...

The War on Christmas

*Setting: supermarket*

Customer 1 - Thank you very much. Have a good day!

Cashier - You too, sir. Happy holidays!

*Customer is blown back as if hit by artillery. He lies against a wall, legs blown off. Another customer runs up to him to tend him*

Customer 1 - Go! Leave me. I’m not gonna make it. Save yourself!

Customer 2 - Don’t you talk like that!

Customer 1 - I’m done. Damn this war. Damn it all to hell.

Customer 2 - It’s...it�...

The Most Bizarre Bible Story

Thanks, everyone, for your support. This video took a ton of work. I hope you like it.

My Biggest Animation Yet

I've been working on this one for over a month now. I'm just now putting the finishing touches on it, so that it can go live on Tuesday. It'll be around 26 minutes long, which beats my previous longest animation (23 minutes). Most people focus on the bizarre talking donkey in this story, but the context contains a wealth of bizarre material too: God changes His mind several times, and is extremely unreasonable and contradictory on multiple occasions, and the other characters behave wildly unn...

Jeff Wick

When God sends an angel to kill somebody, as He does in  Numbers 22:23, He doesn't send just ANY average angel hitman; He sends Jeff Wick.
