Is it acceptable for authors to self insert into their own work?
>>284688349I don't know if it's acceptable but I admit I'd do it myself if I could, so I can't rightfully hold it against them.
>>284688349>2D version is uglierQuite acceptable. Or maybe they should hire better animators and char designers.
>>284688349I would argue that as far as art, it makes sense to make a notable character based upon your own appearance. As artists do tend to draw from examples in life, and thus using themself as one is like a free character design.
Norio's self inserts are the Ichikawa siblings, actually.
>>284688349The only reason people create fictional media is for personal wish-fullfilment. Nothing else. What a stupid and worthless post from an imbecile.
>>284688349It could be worse.
>>284688349The only time this becomes acceptable is when the author himself is an interesting person to start withFor example: Miyazaki confessed that he inserted himself multiple times in his works - namely, Sho of Nausica, Howl, and Jiro HorikoshiBut no one noticed nor complained because they are all very good characters. Or rather, the author has an interesting personality.No one wants to watch a guy whose entire life revolves around being a lazy turd with no dreams, aspiration, or personality
So absurdly shigurui coded holy lmfao
It depends
>>284688349Not only acceptable, but encouraged.
Authors should insert aspects of themselves into a wide spread of characters. In fact, one of the best ways to create a compelling story is to create characters from two conflicting parts of yourself and see how the conflict plays out. It's very difficult to make a single self insert character and not make it shit.
>>284688925What about that page is Shigurui coded?
>>284688349we all like to self insert
>>284688964Now I understand why that character was so recurrent
>>284688349it's their work and they can do whatever they want with it, they don't owe you anything, whether people like it or not that's whole different thingsimple as
>>284688964So mashima is a smellfag huh. Not at all surprised.
>>284688349Sometimes.
>>284688963>>284688963That's not really the author, just a fan. The author of BokuYaba has never shown her face before
>>284688349Always, forever.
>>284688972I actively do this for a work I'm working on about four brothers that are building a house together for their dadEach of them has a different primary flaw, being anger, timidity, depression, overthinking, which are all directly from me. All of them will have one major positive, but I'm not sure what to give them and to whom.I should probably start writing man
>>284688349Didn’t the dress up darling author crash out and fuck the series up?
>>284688340>Eren is Isayama's self insertWhy would he make himself a cuck?
>>284690810No that's just your schizo wish fulfillment headcanon
>>284690954>>284690810>multiple hiatuses with a padded storyline that then rushes to the ending, never achieved its premise and had its lead always act awkward around the girl to the very endyep, 10/10 best romcoms because I only read normalfag shit from Jump.
>>284690998>multiple hiatuses means crashing outRetard alert
>>284690923Eren and Mikasa were never in a relationship.
>>284691120But they both clearly wanted to be to the point where Eren explicitly said he didn't want Mikasa to be in a relationship with another man after he dies
>>284688349I prefer this type of self insert
>>284688349Sometimes
>>284688349More acceptable than for readers.
>>284688349>>284688963>>284689662always 2D >> 3D
>>284688349It's their work, so they can do whatever they want, you retard
>>284688911Yeah, but his self inserts were more like "What would I do if I was in this situation" and not like "This character is me".There are many types of self-inserts, but people only focus on one type.
>>284691640Because a good self insert is impossible to discern from the charactersBad ones stand out like a pompous fag that the author is
>>284688911>Miyazakihttps://youtu.be/5C4MTnCHNUw?si=H1cT6psRKMfc0JUL
>>284688349like whos gonna stop em
>>284688349Acceptable? More like inevitable. Most creators have multiple self-inserts and characters they identify with, that's the whole point of writing stories. It's only a problem when they are obnoxious about it. The stories that don't have self-inserting in any shape or form either don't exist or are the most soulless, designed by committee, AI-generated slop imaginable.
>>284688349It's basedEspecially in BokuYaba's case where she's a shotacon and self inserts as the shota's gf
>>284691716None of this sounded as bad as most Jap workplacesIn fact, the fact that Miyazaki personally labours through the mess that his autism causes instead of just bossing people around, actually makes him much of authentic of a guyGood artists are often autistic and hard to work with, but they do not intend to cause harm for fun. It's always just a collateral side effect of living too much in their head
>>284688349If the author is capable of sufficiently distancing themselves from their creations and not doing blatant self insert wish fulfillment, yes. If not then the quality of the work will suffer for it.
>>284688964I'm honestly not surprised Mashima is into pungent MILFs.
>>284688964>ends up with the GILFMashima...
>>284688349I've been learning to draw so I could have my own secret stash of porn of myself fucking tons of characters, I don't blame then but I'd never ever publish something like that.No I'll never post anything I ever make even cropped.
>>284692471This is the reason for many to start drawing. Which is why most mangaka start their career doing doujinshi
>>284688349I've never self insert myself in my lifetime and yet ima fucking terrible webshit gook '''artist'''so the answer is yes
>>284688911>Jiro Horikoshi>no one noticed
>>284688349>>2846896623D women are so beautiful bros...I want to have sex...
>>284691716>50 minutes of some fuck talking in front of a cameraI fucking hate modern youtube
>>284692562>>>284689662>women
>>284692201Shota is about age, not height you retarded bald manlet. God i hate zoomers so much
>>284692607Have you even read BokuYaba, you retard? They are middle schoolers
>>284688349>gachiakuta
>>284692633>took him to a love hotelDon't they have receptionists?
>>284692698Knowing Japanese people, it's probably considered to be rude to question your customers too much.
>>284691264>sol badguy>not a bad guyterrible writing 0//10
>>284689662who
>>284693690He's more Shinji than Gendo.
>>284688874>shoehorns his own wife into the movies>she contributes absolutely nothing to the plot>she gets the protagonist in the endHoly shit this is still the worst ever. She may as well have been a filler character.Why the fuck did Anno decide to ruin Evangelion?
>>284691248Jackie Chan?!
>>284688349>Is it acceptable for authors to self insert into their own work?
>>284693690Gendo is Miyazaki iirc.
>>284688874Mari is literally the funniest fucking thing to happen to anime, ever. You retards were fighting over which 13 year old child was the hottest, and whether Shinji should fuck the seething cunt or the clone of his Mom for 30 fucking years.Meanwhile Anno directed the original Eva after finding his whore wife in bed with another man, and every minute of the original series shows this. And after not being allowed tonmakw anything other than more fucking Eva, what dows Anno do?Fuck you. Anno remarried. New girl. Its basically his new wife. Shes hot, funny, bubbly, better than Rem and Asuka. Also, Shinji fucks like 20 kids into her, one for every year Anno wasn't allowed to work on anything other than fucking Eva remakes.There is no man who hates Eva more than Anno, which makes Mari pure fucking kino.
>>284691016Its more that 99% of it is "lets learn a random cosplay fact", there's no progress to their relationship until the final panel. No drama, no character development, no real romance.
>>284695178>There is no man who hates Eva more than AnnoYou're obviously right, but you leave out the part where he becomes a staunch male feminist and the most obviously henpecked man in existence. All the personal parts of Evangelion that made it something you can unironically call a flawed classic, he shit all over that with his reboot, just to make some more money and make some inane statement on behalf of his wife. Its just plain pathetic.
>>284695178The sad part is I'm going to ask you about all the batshit insane stuff you made up (Anno being cheated on by an ex wife?) and I'm never going to get an explanation from you. Always happens. You leave and the thread just archivss.
>>284695178>>284697153Anno was never married before meeting Moyocco. Arguably he never had a girlfiriend either. The closest to be cucked is when Anno stalked Noriko Hidaka but she married someone else and that doesn't even count as cucking because Anno and Hidaka never properly dated, it was entirely one-sided
>>284688874I thought she was alright. Should've groomed Shinji though.
>>284690810Shat the bed with Momoiro Meloik too.
>>284689662HHHHHNNNNNGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>284692201>>284692622Would've been more alluring if male was a DS, but still, I will now pick up your show.
>>284692471It's loli, isn't it, anon?
It's only acceptable if it's to make fun of yourself. Anything else is cringe and regrettable.
>>284698251Anno seems like the sensitive and perceptive type, he'd do fine with certain girls.
>>284692607Shota, just like loli, is about the appearance, not about the age.
>>284688349That's not Norio though
>>284692698Unironically no, most love hotels just have an automatic kiosk or whatever at the front. Any kind of human is inviting potential drama.
>>284688349Is really that Norio? Hot damn>>284689662muh
>>284699550shotacon girls are always cute
>>284699684Her shoulders look broader than the one with the bulge
>>284688349almost all authors have a self insert
>>284690463LMAOso>>284688349Kazuya's harcut mindbroke brown and white people so hard they are now sperging bs to get mad at something.Reiji truly lives rent-free on westoids heads.
>>284690998LMAO>Marin moved on from cosplayer to professional model>Gojo is GojoMeanwhile on 2.5 jigen>Lilysa works in the anime industry as a cosplayer and advisor>Okumura is still and otaku but in College and with a hot girlfriend (who does not fuck)>Mikarin got together with Okumura and loves he is still an otaku (and does not fuck because thats only for baby making)Both rushed endings but one managed to get the guy and the girl affirm their otaku interests with each other while the other pulled an easy "and they lived happy ever after with a family" for its casualfag audience.
>>284688349It's normal and inevitable. People only hate when it's blatant wish fulfillment pasted onto an already shitty story like with Reiji and his chorizo waifu autism.Personally if I were to make one, I'd make it a secondary love interest with a lot of development and end it in tragedy because I think it would be funny, plus it'd spark maximum discussion and defense/ego stroking of literally me. You can't lose.
>>284690998>its lead always act awkward around the girl to the very end>NUUUUUH MUH CHAD MC SHOULD FUCK GIRL WHO SHOW INTEREST ON HIM BECAUSE THATZ WHAT I WOULD DO REEEEEEEEJust read hentai or short seinen drama for that holy shit
>>284688349I prefer when they insert minor celebrities instead of themselves
>>284692633>>284699684
>>284700941Why is she smiling like that?
>>284688349The third one is clearly doing a cosplay of the character.
>>284701977>The third one is clearly doing a cosplay of the character.That picture is much, much older than BokuYaba was even drafted
>>284701977>>284702066Thats not even Yamada default hairstyle
>>284700941I think 2.5 D should have never had romance, it felt awkwardly crammed in, when they reached the last milestone about him being cured is like the author went "ok, we can check that off the list, now back to cosplaying", is awfully artificial, if you can't do it well, just don't.>>284701039Anon do you not have friends? Imagine acting like Gojo does, jeez, I am a virgin and still manage to talk with girls without sperging out at my College. MC doesn't need to be superchad thundercock, but is simply not credible, people get used to all sort of highs and lows, by Manga standards people who win the lottery should remain always happy and people on wheelchair always sad (something the last chapter of Oshi No Ko implies).
>>284689662This is cheating doujin sales should be reserved to ugly bastards
>>284690463>The author of BokuYaba has never shown her face beforeLol
>>284693760MONEYONEY
>>284688963The filter made her purse arm look fatter near the elbow. The 2d next to her doesn't even have an hourglass that pronounced, why does she have to lie?
>>284688349It depends it can be interesting.
>>284688349Only if they're talented. Otherwise it's beyond cringe
>>284688925Why do nihonpipo self-insert as Whites?
>>284688964Very based, I like the guy even more.Shame the new manga is extremely fucking rushed, and it shows even more how generic the dialogue is.
>>284705087because they are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honorary_Aryan
Is rohan the best author self insert?
>>284692633She hate shotacon and lolicon
>>284690998nothing wrong with normiemore normie, less toxic and retard*vertification not required
>>284688349Literalltme on top.
>>284688349what a surprise that the author of a nigger cuckfest is a tryhard "alt" whore
>>284695497When someone becomes a MY WIFE guy, it's over. A shotgun to the head is a better fate than that. It's beyond comprehension how utterly horrific becoming a MY WIFE guy is. Fuck, I'm so glad I've never had a girlfriend or anything. I can't imagine suffering becoming a MY WIFE guy. It's a fate worse than death and pretty much destroys you if you're a loser who is in the media field and never had success with women like Anno, the fucking loser.
>>284688349None of these are bad. The Fireforce one is probably far worse
>>284709201>The FireforceMight be one of worst shitnen manga have ever read but I shill it only because xiggers blatantly assmad 'bout ourgirl
>>284688911>a lazy turd with no dreams, aspiration, or personality
>>284697153it's AI-generated ragebait, shitposting is almost fully automated now.
>>284708494I wonder why the term wifeguy never caught on. It's funny.
