I've read this sentence 5 times and still have no idea what your argument is.
After the bubbling, the people aren't any "more naked" than before. Their clothes are no longer visible, sure, but the people aren't any more exposed.
Unfortunately, I don't perceive the effect (I'm assuming there's supposed to be an optical illusion of 3D). The animations all look flat to me.
It would be interesting if this effect was combined with the wiggle 3d effect.
This affect does not work on me, and, yes, I have two working eyes and neither is "lazy".
Yeah, I am not seeing this effect at all . Perhaps relevant: one of my eyes has poor eyesight, but 3d movies still work for me without wearing corrective lenses... I suspect this only "works" if you really want it to.

Basically: GIFs autoplay on people's Tumblr dashboards, proper video formats don't, and that's pretty much all people are trying to achieve in the first place. If we just had some sort of file-extension/media-type (.webg, maybe?) that signalled to a browser "I'm a video container, but treat me like a gif, by defaulting to autoplaying, looping, and muting me", we'd replace gifs instantly.
I don't think the current popularity of GIF compared to HTML5 is really because of autoplay (since can do that too, and loop too). The big advantage of GIF is that it works in an tag just like any other image, so you don't need a website to explicitly support it. Another advantage, I think, is that GIFs are guaranteed not to play sound, which is great when browsing say imgur.com or pr0gramm.com at work (edit: of well…
One particularly interesting thing about the origin of this effect is that it spawned from the file size limit on .gif files on tumblr. If users wanted to exceed the balance of gif length, frame rate, and detail that they wanted, they would upload multiple sections of the same scene side by side. Tumblr's formatting would then add in the white bars automatically. This presumably gave the inspiration to use this for a…
Uhh... But in the scenario that two gifs are side by side, how would the part that goes above the white bar appear, if the white bar is not part of any image?
These style gifs came later (i.e. gifs with 3d effect from the addition of the bars), integrating the white bars that had come to be expected from Tumblr posts.
Why specifically GIFs? It's a generic animation technique, works with any video format. As was pointed out many times, if you have control over your site, don't use GIFs for video and animation. Use proper video formats (WebM and etc.). It will only save space and loading time and improve quality.

I flinched when I did as Capt. America's shield came flying toward me.
Maybe there is something to this after all.
The black and white image of the puppy didn't work for me at all because you could see the "pop" as it suddenly went in front.
Ice-Age and the Avengers clip seemed to stand out much more for me because it was smoother (To my eyes at least).
