Object Show Community

The Object Show Community, abbreviated as OSC, is the name given to the general fanbase fandom formed after the release of Battle for Dream Island in 2010 and the release of Inanimate Insanity in 2011. The term object show is used to refer to an animated series often created by a member of this community. It is also the main community that operates this very wiki too.

==Origins==
Just like object shows, the OSC have their same origins. Since the release of "Take the Plunge", object shows have been rising to popularity since the early 2010s after the premiere of Inanimate Insanity and Total Fruit Island. Battle for Dream Island was first concieved as hand-drawn comic strips from 2008 to 2009 by the Huang twins and then as a Flash-animated series on August 18, 2009, where production began.jacknjellify: Origins of BFDIjacknjellify: We Discovered Our Forgotten "Firey” Comics There are three founding fathers to the community, which include: Michael Huang, Cary Huang and Adam Katz (rtil, the first YouTuber to send an non-competition object show animation in history, is considered under dispute).

The exact origin of the term "Object Show Community" and/or "OSC" is unknown. JoanStar estimates that the coinage happened around 2013.The OSC Discord Server: JoanStar: "2013 probably closer" Wuggolo, an early member of the OSC, said that the term coined around the final months of that exact same year.The OSC Discord Server: Wuggolo: "It was used by end of 2013" 
Even after BFDI ended it's first season in 2012 and early object shows were being created in 2011, the Huang twins created a second season, named Battle for Dream Island Again that would air 5 episodes during it's initial air (9 in total counting the BFDIA 5 parts). However, due to junior year high school being busier than it was back then, the twins decided to take a break from production which due to their AdSense account being suspended, the season was canceled. After that, a massive influx of object shows were released. Some early object shows after Battle for Dream Island Again's inital cancelation include Excellent Entities, Object Overload and Brawl of the Objects.
