Do you prefer fandom or canon characterization?

>>284240043
nine times out of ten when someone says this, what they really mean is "do you prefer overly positive fandom or overly negative hatedom?"

>I'm triggered because people don't like my characterization.

>>284240043
Canon. In my head I could mold any character I want to my exact liking, or find a fanfic that will do that for me, but that's no longer the character in question.

>>284240043
If I didn't like the canon, I wouldn't be a part of the fandom.
"Fandom first, source material second" is just awful.

How did the question get read as 'i don't like canon'.

I hope they go back to the usual portraits, it feels so weird not seeing any expressions or movement

Canon if it makes sense; lines of crack if it doesn't.
>>
>>284240043
It depends on the manga/character. If it's something I'm reading because it's enjoyable or a character that actually has good writing,canon is clearly best. If it's something I'm reading solely to understand the porn more/a side character that appears for only a few chapters then fandom is better.

Fandom gives me the Serizawa/Reigen action that doesn't belong in canon.

>no nipples
Horrid. Also Yoshiki needs to put his dick in the monster

For me it's fanon as sometimes a character I like will get awful development and the common fanon interpretation will be much, much better than what was presented so it'll become my own head canon and the way I interpret the character in secondary work. The short answer is: it depends on the character and series. Some series the common interpretation shits all over the character and I hate it. I just feel like as long as someone can make the character feels realistic in ending up the way the character, fanwork or original, wants it, I can accept anything that isn't the exact opposite of the character. I might even accept it if they can make a good point and give it a good long narrative

>thinking there are nipples in modern anime
A foolish quest on your part, this is the age of featureless flesh.

Nipple fetishists are fucking annoying

I can understand their frustration, but nipple omission has been a thing for so long now that if they're there at all it's like seeing a unicorn. It's a pointless gripe this late in the game.

No one will make canonically gay shounen, so fandom. But I do like things to feel in character to the greatest extent possible while still being homo.

Japan's birthrate crisis is caused by anime males being nippleless. People will start fucking again if an anime made specifically about male nipples is aired

Eh, the male nipple has always been rather elusive in anime. The fujoshi have to basically put them on themselves.
