I feel bad for McHorsy, the maker of the blockbuster mod. As a content creator, its one of the most powerful mods that lets you keyframe and make minecraft animations. But seeing the shit people are doing with it? I feel bad for him man...
@@The_Horizon Maybe Marsh meant to say "Content creator?" Or Marsh misread "as a content creator" as "a context creator" idk, I'm just being a context creator
A little fun fact: Most of monster school animations are made in Mine-Imator. The Mine-Imator community absolutely despise monster school content, like, if you go to a dude who's an animator using Mine Imator, I can guarantee you they can (and probably will) rant about how bad it is and how it's making Mine Imator look bad for approximately 15 minutes on average.
Ohh, I remember that. I haven't been in the community for ages, but I can recall people actively making parodies of monster school. I even tried making my own, haha.
As one of those animators, I 100% agree. These animations give the creators of this program and the program itself a really bad name. It was made for people to make fun animations for minecraft stuff, not what is going on here. Most of if not all of the people who use this program really hate monster school because of it, including all of those that i spoke to or have been in contact with. I personally grew up on WIllcraft, and its just disgusting to see this happening.
As a member of Mine Imator Community, this is extremely true. MI's image have been tainted because of this (and other nsfw content). Which is a shame since the program was made for an easy beginner tool for those who seek Minecraft Animation. Not to mention there's plenty of MI user that's capable of making something impressive and mindblowing that's goes unnoticed, but this does? such a shame.
This is why I appreciate Alan Becker's Monster School episode in his MVA series, Season Three. He understood the assignment on how to make Monster School videos without being a trendsetter, putting suggestive themes, and doing it for viewship. He really stays true and genuine to how Monster School used to be, all the while introducing something new. The animation, story telling, fight scenes, and characterization are all the key selling points of Alan's work and I do respect that. He's probably the only one who had posted an amazing and genuine Monster School Animation that I could think off.
@@totallyreyalfactsfsfs EXACTLY. They don't fit with the scheme of things and if a character has long hair that should brush over them, it's not animated correctly EDIT: Another thing is that people who watch this and are young now will treat it the same way we treat the good minecraft youtubers, which I am disgusted by
As an old minecraft monster school enjoyer, i can confirm that this is the darkest, yet the saddest rabbit hole that ever existed. I'm just so sad that an masterpiece planned as an project transformed into something that i never had seen before. "Don't be sad because it ended, smile because it happened" Means alot to me, we gotta agree right?
that said, though... are there any ACTUAL channels who have done more 'normal' (IE not being content farms with dubious alignments) monster school stuff post 2016? it's probably not happened yet, but it might be.
Monster School used to be lively and ACTUALLY showing hostile mobs learning different aspects of MInecraft made by passionate creators, but now it's a content farm that is continuously exploited. I miss the old minecraft community so much. I'm so sorry for the kids who watch modern monster school...
Exactly, I remember I was around 7 or 8 when came across Monster School. I don't remember _everything_ -if I'm being honest I think I only watched a handful of 'em sparingly within that time frame only-but I do remember it being wholesome, with some tame mischief and shenanigans going on. There was no harm being done, it was like watching a decent kids show based around Minecraft. So seeing how it is now after a decade later, without any sort of "update" or progression of Monster School, it's genuinely jarring and downright disgusting of how this happened with the fact it's still going on to this day.
Also, I just wanted to say, there's still some nice parts of the MC community. I watch a few MC ytbers myself still, my favourites mostly residing in Hermitcraft-which objectively, holds one of the most wholesome and nicest communities overall. And there's an added bonus of finding a hermit that suits your viewing interests too! I still have to dedicate some time to watch at least 10 episodes from each hermit, but there's (I think?) around 30, if not more in total-all with their unique playstyles, goals, and editing in their videos! If you're not familiar with them, I would highly recommend you check them out! ^^
considering they might look back on this and probably won't have seen the og videos of monster school, some might even consider those abominations their "Childhood"... these money laundering schemes by these channels is something i absolutely continue to despise with a burning passion.
@@travelsizedhispasian True. I remember my friend recommending me monster school that were wholesome and funny. But the current monster school is just inappropriate and terrible to the point of destroying actual good monster school animators...
I remember in 2016, I was contacted by MinecraftProduced and they just asked me if they could upload my content (not even relating to minecraft) in exchange for "gredits in the top of the description". Truly an experience and was rather telling of things to come with these channels. Kind of surprised to see them still around
2018 was the final nail in the coffin for Monster School as the characters we use to love got horrifically basic committed to cartoon logic rather that the realistic gore and pain the mobs had from Herobrine. The co-creators were extremely sad that people were stealing their content and bastardizing them for the asshat nobles we have in our society. UA-cam is too powerful to be reduced anymore, we effectively have to nuke it to save the platforms sanity!
@@weegie3343 same, 2016 was like that tolerable smell from the school's showers of sweat and angst, but 2018 was that uncanny BO, dry farts and unmistakable feel of locker-rash.
As a minecraft animator, I have for a while been upset with all the filth in monster school and it is so sad how many times it is the top videos anytime you search up "minecraft animation." It really does give minecraft animation a really bad name. But thank you TheMisterEpic! I am so glad someone finally made a video about this. I have wondering for a while how it got to where it is today.
I honestly feel really sorry for the current generation of kids growing up watching things like this unknowing of how horrible it is. it makes me incredibly grateful i got to grow up with the early 2010s of minecraft yt content
some of the videos I watched as a kid were cringe looking back but nothing near today's kid bait videos with thumbnails full of red arrows and circles. being cringe as a kid is normal but goddamn these tiktok cocomelon kids are doomed
same bro, i miss when animation channels actually put effort into their videos instead of trying to abuse their audience into watching this disgusting content
@@FlynMaker7 honestly would be surprised if anyone tolerated the bullshit... Then again, small children are easy to manipulate the worldview of, yadayada
One of Willcraft's regrets when he was animating Monster School was that his didn't look anywhere near as polished as some animators like Slamacow Studios, Element Animations, etc. I didn't watch Willcraft's Monster School videos for the animation quality - I watched them because they were unique and entertaining. The people who care about the stories they tell are the folks whose stories are often worth coming back for.
I still remember when these were normal wholesome animations about Minecraft Mobs at school. I feel bad for the kids that have to grow up with this "version" of Monster School... Edit: I was gone for one day, and the replies have apparently turned into a discussion about how anime has caused the cataclysmic downfall of modern society. UA-cam replies are something else 💀💀💀💀💀
Classic Monster School will always have a place in my heart, the animation was good for the time (and some still look pretty good now) they were enjoyable, they made sense, they wouldn't bombard you with adjectives in the titles, or jam them with popular trends, they were just minecraft characters doing minecraft things. To see what it's become now is like one massive middle finger to my childhood.
When I was younger I was sucked into stuff like this. It had to be 6 or maybe 7 years ago. I only watched the originals at first but at some point my youtube page started getting filled with weird stuff like this, it looks like it surprisingly had gotten worse too. I remember being disgusted at this stuff but I still watched it for some reason out of curiosity. I think that's part of the problem, young people don't entirely understand what they're watching and don't stop because of curiosity. At least that was my case. I don't remember why I stopped watching it but I'm glad I did and i'm glad I don't have too many memories of this stuff.
You are allowed one reproduction word and one excrement word but after that no more money Also you may not know this but UA-cam is also pretty homophobic if you look at the old demonetizable words list, you just can't talk about gays because apparently advertisers hate them. I wonder if chick FIL a and home Depot have a problem with self gender love.
Thanks for making this video. In fact, I was one of the people that discovered this problem months or years ago. Because of these weird content creators, this might mark the “downfall of Minecraft UA-cam”. This problem also makes actual content creators (like AntVenom, stampylonghead) not being on the recommendations. This problem currently expands to a big extent where all good Minecraft UA-camrs will not be discovered by viewers. The main reason of these types of content is due to greed. In fact, this problem currently affects ALL UA-cam content. So, this type of content should be STOPPED immediately, and let the actual content rise, and the bad ones fall. #saveminecraftyoutube #savemcyt
Unfortunately, YT and the channel creators will never stop unless they come into what I like to call the "Cancel Crosshairs". If the community doesn't provide backlash against this, it'll keep happening. and keep getting worse. Why? because it makes money.
Alan Becker is probably ONLY current good Minecraft UA-camr for good Monster School, even though it only touches twice (One for entire episode and second for the final battle)
I've never been a big fan of Minecraft, but I can respect the UA-camrs and the game itself. It's quite disturbing that these channels exist, and even more so irritating that they are more successful than thousands of smaller channels that put in much more effort. Good on you for bringing light to this topic; hopefully UA-cam actually pays more attention to it.
but is just only 1 episode of that, his animation is legendary but i think overall he's not entirely into monster school and because of stickfigure war, animation vs animation. It all started of Red was unlucky went into portal..
@a16waysJackinn one episode is enough to remind us of what we lost, especially being such a big channel. Here's to hoping people will be inspired by that as opposed to this crap.
I remember watching these when I was younger and having a lot of fun doing so. Fun, silly, and overall enjoyable. I would have NEVER guessed that Monster School would have turned into what it is today. I think I've actually seen a few of those cursed videos floating around, but never paid any mind to them because of how cringey they looked. It's honestly disgusting how they're intentionally trying to feed this kind of content to a younger audience purely for the revenue. I really hope youtube does something about it (but we all know how amazing they are at that) Also, good luck with your recommended LMAO- and amazing video as always!
*Really, the only video that I've seen that actually had the original vibe to the Old Monster school, which was made by Alan Becker, but even after that, nothing has changed about these.*
We live in a timeline where Mojang/Microsoft is banning people from Minecraft for saying "heck" on their self-hosted private servers, because "think of the children!!1!", but do NOTHING about these channels which have been active for years...
@@roxas_Xlll Notch is honestly just a terrible, egotistical person from what I've been told. My husband was telling me something about a friend of his playing a game with him or something akin to that and they chatted a bit. The guy was just full of himself completely and belittled others, at least during that experience. Given the crap he's said publicly, I'm not surprised anymore.
holy shit after YEARS someone finally is talking about them! They've existed for more than a decade but they used to be pretty normal around 2013-2015, then at one point they just started to get more and more disturbing
Imagine WillCraft making a new Monster School animation faithful to their original concept and story, would honestly probably get this whole side of youtube the talk that needs to be had about what's happening here
I wish you would have elaborated more on Willcraft besides having him “be the guy who originally started monster school”. His quitting UA-cam video has whole sections dedicated to his current thoughts about monster school and the many many misconceptions that he has seen regrading it, and I think acknowledging that video would be really helpful. Because then you would learn that Willcraft initially created monster school as just a practice project to teach himself animation and didn’t consider it more than that at first and only did more of it when it popped off. And that he doesn’t consider monster school a genre but his own series that most other people copied even if they weren’t using it for malicious intent. He just wants people to make original Minecraft stuff instead of relying upon what others have already made and copied. (For the record, I don't think a ripoff automatically means it's bad since I know there were some really passionate people who made their own monster school works)
The copying is also happening with minecraft hardcore content same text at the bottom same pictures floating around when explaining something and the fast paced editing
@@ihatehandleupdate Yet he hearted a comment telling someone that was saying we should support Willcraft because they killed his "child" to "leave the guy alone" because he left UA-cam two years ago. :( Feels contradictory and a little weird.
@@yourregionalprotogentbf most people actually credited the original creator of the trend and some even ASKED for permission. Then it just blew way out of the water and to the moon to the point where I dont see that nowadays. (Btw Im not talking about monster school incase anyone just takes a glance at this reply)
I remember being a young, innocent kid who was shocked by any pictures or videos that were even mildly suggestive. Since I watched a lot of Minecraft content targeted towards children, Monster School was constantly in my recommended and it's just disgusting. Thank you for documenting this and sacrificing all those brain cells, I'm sure this trend will end or be taken off of youtube sooner or later.
I feel sad for all the children today who get exposed to this stuff and later when they get older will have weird nightmares and memories of bizarre and disturbing Monster School content.
As a veteran of Minecraft, I've been a big fan for years. I remember enjoying the very first monster school videos, and them being like cartoons to me, as i never really watched tv as a kid. UA-cam 's golden age raised me, and knowing that it will most likely not return just destoys me.
TheMisterEpic and AntVenom's Minecraft community investigation exposés in recent years have been fantastic and utmost admirable. Keep up the excellent work, guys!
What's really depressing is I remember watching monster school videos as a child. And they really were just innocent things, teaching the mobs how to be scary and the like. Sad to see what's happened to it
It"s so sad that at first this was an innocent story about monsters y'know, going to school, but evolved into well, whatever this is. Hope this video gets re-monitised, thank you for calling these people out, these people are monsters and should be called out more often. Again, thank you.
1:40 "And what exactly is going on here" I kind of wished that you would do a really deep analysis of why the enderman has a large grey sphere attached to his stomach
I remember watching the Monster School as a child and slowly becoming more and more disgusted with all of it as I grew up. I really feel bad for the poor kids who do not understand what they are watching. Team UA-cam needs to take action against these channels immediately.
they're corrupted, they don't care about Terms of Service as long as it benefits them. I hope so much UA-cam have its falldown unless a new ceo fixes it and makes it good once again
wow, I remember watching monster school videos back yeaarrss ago from willcraft and maybe some other ones. it's actually disgusting what they've become and that young audiences are being exposed to this. I am also very sorry to hear what has happened to your poor YT recommendations, hope it recovers soon.
I remember enjoying the original Monster School when I was younger. I was absolutely horrified a few years ago when I searched it up to watch it again and saw the horrible thing that Monster School became. I'm glad you're talking about it.
Okay that's crazy i remember the og monster school animatic, which was completely innocent and so much fun to watch! This brought me back, and now i'm just horrified by what it's become
thank you SO MUCH for talking about this... its disgusting and whats even more disgusting is youtube doesn't care about demonitizing these channels or removing them bc they know these channels are making them MILLIONS.
i remember these older monster school videos, and they are so enjoyable yet simplistic, and it would be nice if they hadn’t been overtaken by people looking for cash grabs through kids.
I am Vietnamese and a veteran Minecraft player with a 10-year-old brother who watches those poisoned contents on a daily basis, and I am unable to block it or do anything else. In fact, the channels that upload those videos are so numerous that I can't keep track of them all. This is a real issue for kids nowadays, when Minecraft is so popular and the content related to it is so easily accessible to them. Thank you for making this video and speaking out to save Minecraft UA-cam content and the OG Monster School.
I’m so glad that someone decided to document this rabbit hole. I used to watch the original Monster School and I’m happy that the original creator didn’t fall from grace to start making these
I used to watch monster school when it wasn't infected by elsagate. The old monster school was awesome for younger audiences. So sad to see this stuff go rotten overtime.
You took the full force of a star to gwt to the bottom of this rabbit hole and deliver this video to us. Mad respect for what you willingly endured to bring us this.
Finally after all these years it's been documented. I remember around 8-10 years ago I saw the normal Monster School videos, but eventually I started seeing the weird ones, probably 4-6 years ago
It's interesting how this happens without UA-cam batting an eye yet normal UA-camrs get demonetized for simple mild cursing or anything remotely not allowed under the community guidelines. Sad to see the exploitation going on
12:10 "This is not just minecraft animations, these are stories that will touch your SOUL" This line is definitely funnier than all of these animations combined for sure. 🤯
But american news networks have to focus on what is important to the average American which means like gas prices and who got shot today and ai ooo so scary.
As a brother to my 8 yo sister, it's been hard keeping her safe from these kinds of contents. Especially with the fact that she's pretty much addicted to this type of content
I actually used to watch Monster School back when it was just lighthearted fun, but then I kinda forgot about it after a little while. This was not the way I expected to re-discover it.
I remember watching the original monster school animations by Willcraft. It's unbelievable how much has changed and what today's children are able to watch.
Able to watch... Bruh it's all sinking in now, they'll have these awful vids on autoplay for hours 😭 the newest generation is gonna be messed up in the head
I remember the OG monster school. It was probably the best thing next to Fallen Kingdom (and all the other parody songs) back then. Thank God I escaped before it became what it is now. I knew this has been an issue for a long time but thank you for documenting and exposing this.
The worst part is OG nonster school school would just be considered kinda cringy content today. But nowadays it's on par with the Elsa/Spiderman content from a while back.
Now I'm not old but I'm old enough to remember watching monster school videos on my little kindle fire as a kid and i remember a world of idiot mobs animated learning stuff like fighting crafting mining or brewing and shenanigan would ensue but this modern take on monster school is jsut another fun thing turning into clickbait. thanks for the awesome documentary that gave me nostalgia, mate.
Man, I remember watching the original monster school animations and thinking that they were the coolest things. They inspired me to write down an entire concept for a monster school that used all the mobs that existed at the time (I played on console, and made my concept before husks and strays existed on that version of minecraft.) It was completely ridiculous, using all kinds of things that weren't minecraft, pulling from my absurd lore ideas relating to worlds I had made in the past, and would've never worked well in the end, but I still made a concept because of those videos. These things, the junk that comes out calling itself kids content today doesn't inspire me to make stories or crazy weird concepts, it doesn't make me want to be a youtuber and share my stories to the world, no. It makes me want to burn my eyeballs out, leave this platform behind, forget it even existed, and hide away my now much better story concepts that I've been working on for years. None of it is inspiring in the slightest. What happened to take youtube from fun with friends to a massive divide between the quality and the trash content, with little room left for the just fun with friends? I guess being born in the early 2000's really was the perfect time to be alive in this modern era, because now everything feels like lies and cash grabs trying to crowd out the quality that our kids should be having. We could try to bring back the good old days with the kids who grew up bringing it back, but would that even be possible? I think everyone can agree that we miss the simpler times, when everything was better, and everyone was just having fun.
Times before the corporates weren’t yet ruining the internet a little bit also other big corporations made internet also a little bit better and safer including for mental health also there was problems in 00’s and 10’s internet there were other bad things such as viruses were more common, hacking of accounts also and cyberbullying was more common like for one big example the most hated man on the internet So in conclusion old times were better in some ways but also worse in other ways I still have memorable moments from childhood using a windows XP desktop and playing cd and flash games or watching google maps or watching old youtube nothing dark about those only great ones were made for my part thankfully never neither got any viruses or atleast visible ones
UA-cam should put this as a description for all monster school videos Grass' is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. The grasses include the "grass" of the family Poaceae. This family is also called Gramineae. The family also include some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[1] These three families are not closely related but all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style. The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[2] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion). Evolution of grass[change | change source] Grasses include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves).[3] Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy for many animals.[4] Grass and people[change | change source] Lawn grass is often planted on sports fields and in the area around a building. Sometimes chemicals and water is used to help lawns to grow. People have used grasses for a long time. People eat parts of grasses. Corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice and millet are cereals, common grains whose seeds are used for food and to make alcohol such as beer. Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is also a plant in the grass family. People have grown grasses as food for farm animals for about 4,000 years. People use bamboo to build houses, fences, furniture and other things. Grass plants can also be used as fuel, to cover roofs, and to weave baskets.
I remember watching Monster School when I was first getting into Minecraft. I even spent most of my time building my own monster school in a flat world where I would add and name mobs that would be in the added in the next update(I had potion bar in the cafeteria that would act like sodas and fruit drinks). My only regret is that I never made my Google account to save my watch history so I could look back at what monster school videos I watched. There were so many good ones and the music that they played was such a bop. Also thank you MisterEpic for introducing me the creator of this series because I had no idea how many videos were actually his. My Rant: It is so disrespectful to see how low this series became and it's not just Minecraft. I've seen similar things happen with Godzilla, FNF, and other big franchises yet they still exist! I can't search up Minecraft without being bombarded with cursed inappropriate videos made for people who have the brain size of a peanut. It is so wrong and UA-cam is just allowing this and other garbage content to fly around freely. Sometimes I just wish the company would go bankrupt or get a slap across the face that this is should not be official.
Probably some minemator using asscrack tbh. Though most likely not the same person as I remember years and years ago when this was actually decent and funny content, now it's just a click farm to pull in barely pubescent kids based off "big booba" and nostalgia bait
@@user-Nerd72ekd82kwI highly doubt it. Seeing how the same email is connected to most of these channels with similar names, I’m certain this is an operation being ran by one greedy person.
Painful. I used to watch Willcraft's Monster School series as a child. Messed up to see what some greedy, morally void people will do off the back of true passion and creativity. Now an adult, I worry for kids navigating modern UA-cam at the age I was when watching the original series. Thanks for covering this, may your recommended section recover soon.
back then (7-8 years ago) i used to watch monster school with my big brother and it was perfectly fine, it was fun and nothing really strange was happening it's kinda sad how much it changed
I remember Willcraft's Monster School, he did it as a sort of passion project. I feel so sorry that his lasting legacy will be this, I hope we can change it though
As a young kid im like 9 i am horribly disgusted by “minecraft monster school” inappropriate copycats, and I’m aware that my little brother sometimes sees these Minecraft monster school inappropriate animations and crazy Minecraft animations with preggo ladies, etc and i cant even do anything about it. I am very sad that how our childhood of Minecraft monster school animations are just shattered, with Minecraft animations having absolutely having no any context or plot whatsoever. The idea that I’m saying is that our normal childhood when youtube is is kind of popular, is just shattered with Minecraft animations going on crack, today.
The fact that Monster School has gotten worse through the years is unbelievable. The first OG Monster School was pretty good but nowadays it really is weird and downright disgusting. Thanks for bringing this up
I actually remember watching some of the early ones when i was younger and it was funny thank god these didn't exist back then otherwise that would have been very gross. It is a shame that there are people like that who prey on unsuspecting people and also use bots to push out actual content creators from getting the views they deserve.
Thank you for being one of the first people (if not *the* first) to document this. This has been around for almost a decade now, so it's safe to say it needed to be covered.
I would recommend you to go into the "History" part of your YT startpage, clicking on "Manage" (or similar) in the right column and outright deleting every of those videos/streams with the X that each of them has. Basically make YT forget you ever watched those...
honestly, I'm glad this was finally talked about, becuase i never watch it anymore and haven't for about 3 years, and when i saw this video, i was wondering, what was the source of all of those videos? and here i found the answer. this truly is the weirdest and stupidest rabbit hole ever.
I remember watching monster school as a little kid, so it will always have a place in my heart, but what it has become scares me. When i was a little kid i only saw one of those wierd videos, but not to long ago i logged into my ggl account i had when i was a little kid i saw the videos i had seen multible of years ago wasnt wierd, but the videos that got uploaded now was so wierd and shocked me.
if you want your youtube recommended to get better just remove all of those videos from your watch history and go to your google account settings, then privacy then look for where you can see history attached to your google account and make sure to purge everything in there, either removing one by one or just erasing a whole period of time through filters
Thank you for sacrificing your recommendations 🙏 I love you content and it's great to see someone explain these streams hopefully UA-cam does something about it
I remember finding and watching some monster school videos back in like 2013 or something when Willcraft was still making them, and thinking they were fun and entertaining. I never really latched onto them though, and moved onto watching more mod showcases. Some time later, I heard of the inappropriate monster school videos that have shown up recently, and knew about them since around 2020 or so. It seems consistent with a lot of other bad kids' content, including the oversexualization of everything, and focus on pregnancy. I'm just upset that they call their videos "monster school," tainting the image of the monster school format as a whole. It's like if somebody made crappy kids' animations of Minecraft, but this time in a 2D cartoony style, and labeled them "Epic Minequest." I've noticed that the clips of "monster school" videos you've shown seem reminiscent of old SMG4 videos, though taking place in Minecraft without any coherent plot whatsoever, no text to speech, voice acting, or text on the screen representing character dialogue, and oversexualized characters and scenes with an abundance of outdated memes and trends. All of those extra details I had to add to be accurate turn what would've been great, entertaining, and funny content into the nightmare that is "monster school." The only apparent similarities are the 3D animated style and frequent sound effects, though I've never really seen the combination of those in anything that wasn't SMG4 or monster school related.
HOW in the fuck do you get demonetized but they don't? COME ON, UA-cam! Thank you for the effort of making this video, though, I'm very glad someone addressed it.
If i'm being honest, around two years ago, I used to watch these videos with my siblings, a lot. They were kinda fun to watch, but looking back at it, I really do not know how I enjoyed them. lol. Thank the lord that I only watched the willcraft MineCraft School videos!
I remember looking at some of Willcrafts old monster school animations like a decade ago and they were ok. Nothing great quality wise but none of this bizarre weird massively inappropriate stuff you see now. TBH I may go re-watch those now, those bring back good memories. Also the sillycraft videos were solid stuff to.
Thanks for spreading awareness! I wish other large minecraft influencers could touch on this because I know their communities would find this just as disgusting as I do. Maybe with enough people it can be shut down
I'm just gonna comment on this just to let algorithm spread this video. On another note, it's frustrating that UA-cam demonitize your video and possibly other commentators' video, while letting this and other "family-friendly" content exists with what I assume to be having zero restrictions whatsoever.
It’s terrible how people can upload stuff like this and UA-cam is ok with it, yet a big youtuber can do something not as severe and face channel termination or suspension

I feel bad for McHorsy, the maker of the blockbuster mod. As a content creator, its one of the most powerful mods that lets you keyframe and make minecraft animations. But seeing the shit people are doing with it? I feel bad for him man...
Context creator?

@@The_Horizon Maybe Marsh meant to say "Content creator?" Or Marsh misread "as a content creator" as "a context creator"
idk, I'm just being a context creator
people are not making animations with blockbuster, they are using blender, etc
A little fun fact:
Most of monster school animations are made in Mine-Imator. The Mine-Imator community absolutely despise monster school content, like, if you go to a dude who's an animator using Mine Imator, I can guarantee you they can (and probably will) rant about how bad it is and how it's making Mine Imator look bad for approximately 15 minutes on average.
Ohh, I remember that. I haven't been in the community for ages, but I can recall people actively making parodies of monster school. I even tried making my own, haha.
As one of those animators, I 100% agree. These animations give the creators of this program and the program itself a really bad name. It was made for people to make fun animations for minecraft stuff, not what is going on here.
Most of if not all of the people who use this program really hate monster school because of it, including all of those that i spoke to or have been in contact with.
I personally grew up on WIllcraft, and its just disgusting to see this happening.
As a member of Mine Imator Community, this is extremely true. MI's image have been tainted because of this (and other nsfw content). Which is a shame since the program was made for an easy beginner tool for those who seek Minecraft Animation.
Not to mention there's plenty of MI user that's capable of making something impressive and mindblowing that's goes unnoticed, but this does? such a shame.
Are they mass-reporting such videos, and other defending/similar content elsewhere?
Oh, really? I thought this stuff was just made in blender like BPS does with their animations. Guess it makes sense.
Honestly, mad respect to you for subjecting yourself to whatever stuff this is in order to explain it, so that we don't have to ourselves

@@BiasIcewing 8 seconds what
This is why I appreciate Alan Becker's Monster School episode in his MVA series, Season Three. He understood the assignment on how to make Monster School videos without being a trendsetter, putting suggestive themes, and doing it for viewship.
He really stays true and genuine to how Monster School used to be, all the while introducing something new. The animation, story telling, fight scenes, and characterization are all the key selling points of Alan's work and I do respect that.
He's probably the only one who had posted an amazing and genuine Monster School Animation that I could think off.
I like it too. It stays true to the original monster school that Willcraft made
Same here! I'm so grateful he didn't veer off and try to make Monster School into something that it isn't
I don't think suggestive circles translates well to the 2nd dimension
@@totallyreyalfactsfsfs EXACTLY. They don't fit with the scheme of things and if a character has long hair that should brush over them, it's not animated correctly

@@totallyreyalfactsfsfs In general, anything that has smooth circles in a Minecraft video will always be cursed.
As an old minecraft monster school enjoyer, i can confirm that this is the darkest, yet the saddest rabbit hole that ever existed.
I'm just so sad that an masterpiece planned as an project transformed into something that i never had seen before.
"Don't be sad because it ended, smile because it happened" Means alot to me, we gotta agree right?
It’s in the feeling that matters.
The Old monster school was amazing
I remember Monster School being completely normal back when i was little, it's unfortunate to see what it has turned into
Yeah man, I didn't know this new monster school crap existed, it is so weird and uncanny.
that said, though... are there any ACTUAL channels who have done more 'normal' (IE not being content farms with dubious alignments) monster school stuff post 2016? it's probably not happened yet, but it might be.
Monster School used to be lively and ACTUALLY showing hostile mobs learning different aspects of MInecraft made by passionate creators, but now it's a content farm that is continuously exploited. I miss the old minecraft community so much. I'm so sorry for the kids who watch modern monster school...
Exactly, I remember I was around 7 or 8 when came across Monster School. I don't remember _everything_ -if I'm being honest I think I only watched a handful of 'em sparingly within that time frame only-but I do remember it being wholesome, with some tame mischief and shenanigans going on. There was no harm being done, it was like watching a decent kids show based around Minecraft.
So seeing how it is now after a decade later, without any sort of "update" or progression of Monster School, it's genuinely jarring and downright disgusting of how this happened with the fact it's still going on to this day.
Also, I just wanted to say, there's still some nice parts of the MC community. I watch a few MC ytbers myself still, my favourites mostly residing in Hermitcraft-which objectively, holds one of the most wholesome and nicest communities overall. And there's an added bonus of finding a hermit that suits your viewing interests too!
I still have to dedicate some time to watch at least 10 episodes from each hermit, but there's (I think?) around 30, if not more in total-all with their unique playstyles, goals, and editing in their videos!
If you're not familiar with them, I would highly recommend you check them out! ^^
considering they might look back on this and probably won't have seen the og videos of monster school, some might even consider those abominations their "Childhood"... these money laundering schemes by these channels is something i absolutely continue to despise with a burning passion.
@@travelsizedhispasian True. I remember my friend recommending me monster school that were wholesome and funny. But the current monster school is just inappropriate and terrible to the point of destroying actual good monster school animators...
But most of them either quitted UA-cam or changed contents now
I remember in 2016, I was contacted by MinecraftProduced and they just asked me if they could upload my content (not even relating to minecraft) in exchange for "gredits in the top of the description".
Truly an experience and was rather telling of things to come with these channels. Kind of surprised to see them still around
How the hell do you have more subscribers than me?
I remember the relatively normal Monster School from 2012 - 2014, I remember that actually being watchable and enjoyable for a small kid.
2018 was the final nail in the coffin for Monster School as the characters we use to love got horrifically basic committed to cartoon logic rather that the realistic gore and pain the mobs had from Herobrine. The co-creators were extremely sad that people were stealing their content and bastardizing them for the asshat nobles we have in our society. UA-cam is too powerful to be reduced anymore, we effectively have to nuke it to save the platforms sanity!
it all went downhill from 2016, at least then the content was a little cringe but still watchable

One of Willcraft's regrets when he was animating Monster School was that his didn't look anywhere near as polished as some animators like Slamacow Studios, Element Animations, etc. I didn't watch Willcraft's Monster School videos for the animation quality - I watched them because they were unique and entertaining.

When I was younger I was sucked into stuff like this. It had to be 6 or maybe 7 years ago. I only watched the originals at first but at some point my youtube page started getting filled with weird stuff like this, it looks like it surprisingly had gotten worse too. I remember being disgusted at this stuff but I still watched it for some reason out of curiosity. I think that's part of the problem, young people don't entirely understand what they're watching and don't stop because of curiosity. At least that was my case. I don't remember why I stopped watching it but I'm glad I did and i'm glad I don't have too many memories of this stuff.
The moment when this is allowed on youtube but saying `frick` and `heck` results in demonetization.
You are allowed one reproduction word and one excrement word but after that no more money
Also you may not know this but UA-cam is also pretty homophobic if you look at the old demonetizable words list, you just can't talk about gays because apparently advertisers hate them. I wonder if chick FIL a and home Depot have a problem with self gender love.

In fact, I was one of the people that discovered this problem months or years ago. Because of these weird content creators, this might mark the “downfall of Minecraft UA-cam”. This problem also makes actual content creators (like AntVenom, stampylonghead) not being on the recommendations. This problem currently expands to a big extent where all good Minecraft UA-camrs will not be discovered by viewers. The main reason of these types of content is due to greed.
In fact, this problem currently affects ALL UA-cam content. So, this type of content should be STOPPED immediately, and let the actual content rise, and the bad ones fall.

Respect to Alan Becker for creating an insanely well-made and faithful version of monster school in his animation vs minecraft series
Alan Becker is probably ONLY current good Minecraft UA-camr for good Monster School, even though it only touches twice (One for entire episode and second for the final battle)

@@chargeminecraft He based it off the og monster school created by willcraft.
ifkr man
I've never been a big fan of Minecraft, but I can respect the UA-camrs and the game itself. It's quite disturbing that these channels exist, and even more so irritating that they are more successful than thousands of smaller channels that put in much more effort. Good on you for bringing light to this topic; hopefully UA-cam actually pays more attention to it.
The closest thing we got to a modern monster school that's loyal to the original was Alan Becker's animation
This. One of my favorite AVM episodes
Agreed 100%
but is just only 1 episode of that, his animation is legendary but i think overall he's not entirely into monster school and because of stickfigure war, animation vs animation. It all started of Red was unlucky went into portal..
@a16waysJackinn one episode is enough to remind us of what we lost, especially being such a big channel. Here's to hoping people will be inspired by that as opposed to this crap.
Songs of War series pretty neat
I remember watching these when I was younger and having a lot of fun doing so. Fun, silly, and overall enjoyable. I would have NEVER guessed that Monster School would have turned into what it is today. I think I've actually seen a few of those cursed videos floating around, but never paid any mind to them because of how cringey they looked. It's honestly disgusting how they're intentionally trying to feed this kind of content to a younger audience purely for the revenue. I really hope youtube does something about it (but we all know how amazing they are at that)
Also, good luck with your recommended LMAO- and amazing video as always!

Imagine WillCraft making a new Monster School animation faithful to their original concept and story, would honestly probably get this whole side of youtube the talk that needs to be had about what's happening here
I wish you would have elaborated more on Willcraft besides having him “be the guy who originally started monster school”.
His quitting UA-cam video has whole sections dedicated to his current thoughts about monster school and the many many misconceptions that he has seen regrading it, and I think acknowledging that video would be really helpful.
Because then you would learn that Willcraft initially created monster school as just a practice project to teach himself animation and didn’t consider it more than that at first and only did more of it when it popped off. And that he doesn’t consider monster school a genre but his own series that most other people copied even if they weren’t using it for malicious intent. He just wants people to make original Minecraft stuff instead of relying upon what others have already made and copied. (For the record, I don't think a ripoff automatically means it's bad since I know there were some really passionate people who made their own monster school works)
The copying is also happening with minecraft hardcore content same text at the bottom same pictures floating around when explaining something and the fast paced editing

Man, I remember watching the original monster school animations and thinking that they were the coolest things.
They inspired me to write down an entire concept for a monster school that used all the mobs that existed at the time (I played on console, and made my concept before husks and strays existed on that version of minecraft.) It was completely ridiculous, using all kinds of things that weren't minecraft, pulling from my absurd lore ideas relating to worlds I had made in the past, and would've never worked well in the end, but I still made a concept because of those videos.
These things, the junk that comes out calling itself kids content today doesn't inspire me to make stories or crazy weird concepts, it doesn't make me want to be a youtuber and share my stories to the world, no. It makes me want to burn my eyeballs out, leave this platform behind, forget it even existed, and hide away my now much better story concepts that I've been working on for years. None of it is inspiring in the slightest.
What happened to take youtube from fun with friends to a massive divide between the quality and the trash content, with little room left for the just fun with friends? I guess being born in the early 2000's really was the perfect time to be alive in this modern era, because now everything feels like lies and cash grabs trying to crowd out the quality that our kids should be having. We could try to bring back the good old days with the kids who grew up bringing it back, but would that even be possible?
I think everyone can agree that we miss the simpler times, when everything was better, and everyone was just having fun.
Times before the corporates weren’t yet ruining the internet a little bit also other big corporations made internet also a little bit better and safer including for mental health
also there was problems in 00’s and 10’s internet there were other bad things such as viruses were more common, hacking of accounts also and cyberbullying was more common like for one big example the most hated man on the internet
So in conclusion old times were better in some ways but also worse in other ways
I still have memorable moments from childhood using a windows XP desktop and playing cd and flash games or watching google maps or watching old youtube nothing dark about those only great ones were made for my part thankfully never neither got any viruses or atleast visible ones

UA-cam should put this as a description for all monster school videos
Grass' is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants.
The grasses include the "grass" of the family Poaceae. This family is also called Gramineae. The family also include some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[1] These three families are not closely related but all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style.
The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others.
Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales.
Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[2] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion).
Evolution of grass[change | change source]
Grasses include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves).[3] Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy for many animals.[4]
Grass and people[change | change source]
Lawn grass is often planted on sports fields and in the area around a building. Sometimes chemicals and water is used to help lawns to grow.
People have used grasses for a long time. People eat parts of grasses. Corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice and millet are cereals, common grains whose seeds are used for food and to make alcohol such as beer.
Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is also a plant in the grass family. People have grown grasses as food for farm animals for about 4,000 years. People use bamboo to build houses, fences, furniture and other things. Grass plants can also be used as fuel, to cover roofs, and to weave baskets.

I remember watching Monster School when I was first getting into Minecraft. I even spent most of my time building my own monster school in a flat world where I would add and name mobs that would be in the added in the next update(I had potion bar in the cafeteria that would act like sodas and fruit drinks). My only regret is that I never made my Google account to save my watch history so I could look back at what monster school videos I watched. There were so many good ones and the music that they played was such a bop. Also thank you MisterEpic for introducing me the creator of this series because I had no idea how many videos were actually his.
My Rant: It is so disrespectful to see how low this series became and it's not just Minecraft. I've seen similar things happen with Godzilla, FNF, and other big franchises yet they still exist! I can't search up Minecraft without being bombarded with cursed inappropriate videos made for people who have the brain size of a peanut. It is so wrong and UA-cam is just allowing this and other garbage content to fly around freely. Sometimes I just wish the company would go bankrupt or get a slap across the face that this is should not be official.
Finally, people are realizing that this is a giant issue! But it makes me wonder, who the hail is animating these???!
Probably some minemator using asscrack tbh. Though most likely not the same person as I remember years and years ago when this was actually decent and funny content, now it's just a click farm to pull in barely pubescent kids based off "big booba" and nostalgia bait
Probably underpaid animators from fiverr
@@user-Nerd72ekd82kwI highly doubt it. Seeing how the same email is connected to most of these channels with similar names, I’m certain this is an operation being ran by one greedy person.
Its probably a small studio, a single person could hardly run all these channels. Most likely its an Asian animation studio as it was said by Epic.
Painful. I used to watch Willcraft's Monster School series as a child. Messed up to see what some greedy, morally void people will do off the back of true passion and creativity. Now an adult, I worry for kids navigating modern UA-cam at the age I was when watching the original series. Thanks for covering this, may your recommended section recover soon.
back then (7-8 years ago) i used to watch monster school with my big brother and it was perfectly fine, it was fun and nothing really strange was happening it's kinda sad how much it changed
I remember Willcraft's Monster School, he did it as a sort of passion project.
I feel so sorry that his lasting legacy will be this, I hope we can change it though
As a young kid im like 9 i am horribly disgusted by “minecraft monster school” inappropriate copycats, and I’m aware that my little brother sometimes sees these Minecraft monster school inappropriate animations and crazy Minecraft animations with preggo ladies, etc and i cant even do anything about it. I am very sad that how our childhood of Minecraft monster school animations are just shattered, with Minecraft animations having absolutely having no any context or plot whatsoever. The idea that I’m saying is that our normal childhood when youtube is is kind of popular, is just shattered with Minecraft animations going on crack, today.
The fact that Monster School has gotten worse through the years is unbelievable. The first OG Monster School was pretty good but nowadays it really is weird and downright disgusting. Thanks for bringing this up
I actually remember watching some of the early ones when i was younger and it was funny thank god these didn't exist back then otherwise that would have been very gross. It is a shame that there are people like that who prey on unsuspecting people and also use bots to push out actual content creators from getting the views they deserve.
Thank you for being one of the first people (if not *the* first) to document this. This has been around for almost a decade now, so it's safe to say it needed to be covered.
I would recommend you to go into the "History" part of your YT startpage, clicking on "Manage" (or similar) in the right column and outright deleting every of those videos/streams with the X that each of them has. Basically make YT forget you ever watched those...
honestly, I'm glad this was finally talked about, becuase i never watch it anymore and haven't for about 3 years, and when i saw this video, i was wondering, what was the source of all of those videos? and here i found the answer. this truly is the weirdest and stupidest rabbit hole ever.
I remember watching monster school as a little kid, so it will always have a place in my heart, but what it has become scares me.
When i was a little kid i only saw one of those wierd videos, but not to long ago i logged into my ggl account i had when i was a little kid i saw the videos i had seen multible of years ago wasnt wierd, but the videos that got uploaded now was so wierd and shocked me.
if you want your youtube recommended to get better just remove all of those videos from your watch history
and go to your google account settings, then privacy then look for where you can see history attached to your google account and make sure to purge everything in there, either removing one by one or just erasing a whole period of time through filters
Thank you for sacrificing your recommendations 🙏 I love you content and it's great to see someone explain these streams hopefully UA-cam does something about it
Thanks for speaking out! Commenting here to hopefully boost engagement.
Graduated with a phd from Monster School.
Lmao
I think Some Ordinary Gamers did a video on a very similar topic already, but thanks for raising more awareness of this
12:09 "These are not just minecraft animations, these are stories that will touch your SOUL" 💀
And this, Mr. Epic, is why "Pause UA-cam watch history" exists
I remember finding and watching some monster school videos back in like 2013 or something when Willcraft was still making them, and thinking they were fun and entertaining. I never really latched onto them though, and moved onto watching more mod showcases. Some time later, I heard of the inappropriate monster school videos that have shown up recently, and knew about them since around 2020 or so. It seems consistent with a lot of other bad kids' content, including the oversexualization of everything, and focus on pregnancy. I'm just upset that they call their videos "monster school," tainting the image of the monster school format as a whole. It's like if somebody made crappy kids' animations of Minecraft, but this time in a 2D cartoony style, and labeled them "Epic Minequest."
I've noticed that the clips of "monster school" videos you've shown seem reminiscent of old SMG4 videos, though taking place in Minecraft without any coherent plot whatsoever, no text to speech, voice acting, or text on the screen representing character dialogue, and oversexualized characters and scenes with an abundance of outdated memes and trends. All of those extra details I had to add to be accurate turn what would've been great, entertaining, and funny content into the nightmare that is "monster school." The only apparent similarities are the 3D animated style and frequent sound effects, though I've never really seen the combination of those in anything that wasn't SMG4 or monster school related.
HOW in the fuck do you get demonetized but they don't? COME ON, UA-cam!
Thank you for the effort of making this video, though, I'm very glad someone addressed it.
Me and my friends were joking about this a while ago its so weird. Im surprised YT hasn't taken these down. It is so disgusting how people make this.
;; 10:17
Omg BobbyCraft, he's iconic in the Spanish side 🫡🩷
If i'm being honest, around two years ago, I used to watch these videos with my siblings, a lot. They were kinda fun to watch, but looking back at it, I really do not know how I enjoyed them. lol. Thank the lord that I only watched the willcraft MineCraft School videos!
I remember looking at some of Willcrafts old monster school animations like a decade ago and they were ok. Nothing great quality wise but none of this bizarre weird massively inappropriate stuff you see now. TBH I may go re-watch those now, those bring back good memories.
Also the sillycraft videos were solid stuff to.
Thanks for spreading awareness! I wish other large minecraft influencers could touch on this because I know their communities would find this just as disgusting as I do. Maybe with enough people it can be shut down
I miss the old day, when Monster School was very entertaining. Now it is just an old memory. Respect Willcraft
!!!
Didn't realize it went that deep. Ugh.
Here's hoping this video sparks some sort of change
Hello Knarfy!
the thing that shocks me is that some youtubers get demonetized for swearing and then you have these videos being allowed on youtube kids.
I'm just gonna comment on this just to let algorithm spread this video. On another note, it's frustrating that UA-cam demonitize your video and possibly other commentators' video, while letting this and other "family-friendly" content exists with what I assume to be having zero restrictions whatsoever.
It’s terrible how people can upload stuff like this and UA-cam is ok with it, yet a big youtuber can do something not as severe and face channel termination or suspension
7:23 not gonna lie if i saw Astolfo on a thumbnail i would honestly unironically watch it
Same tbh
@@Footfungus340 SHUT UP NENE
Monster school now:
Romantic cringe videos,18+ thumbnails
Monster School then:
Cool, enjoyable, not 18+
I remember seeing the old monster school videos, completely innocent. So strange seeing it now
