| “ | Although it's been kept hidden from the public for many years, one of the issues that remains underground in today's online society is the slavery of stick figures. Certain animators and graphic designers have decided to abuse their rights as creators and owners of the stick figures they create. Although the ownership of the stick figure is acceptable, it is unfair that certain sticks are not guaranteed the same rights as other animations. All sticks are created equal. | „ |
| ~ Some text on stickslavery.com showing how some Stick Figures are treated by their animators. |
