What is your opinion on self insert OCs /co/? I know it's fairly prevalent, especially with the female side of fandoms, but I wanted to know your two cents on the topic.
>>151075903So cringe its based
>>151075903Didn't she used to ship her OC with Butters?
>>151075903niggerfucker
>>151076303>t. Homosexual
>>151076115this except for the based part
>>151075903Mmmhhhh... I guess it's not bad as long as it's not for some self wank or use it to replace a character (imagine Bruce Wayne being replaced by the author's self insert but we are all supposed pretend it's the same Bruce Wayne we all know and love). Also whenever they use it to ruin the material, like trying to make their terrible quality fanfic canon.In summary, self inserts made by bad writers are bad. Big surprise.
>>151075903It’s fine in theory but the culture is rampant with genuine mental illness. People will claim a character and attack anyone who does the same. Many are in it more for the fandom/community than genuine liking.There was a Russian chick who self-shipped with Winston Deavor, and that eventually turned into obsessing over Bob Odenkirk. Just real wacko shit.
>>151076822Oh, shoot, we talking just fan work, I thought this was about official ones. I don't care about fan self inserts/OCs. Let them do whatever they want, although there are things better kept to oneself.
>>151076822So where would you place this guy? Mental illness, or some bizarre ascension? The guy is married and has a job as a professor, but he still won't drop his OCxMaid Marian ship
>>151076944How can this be cringe and hilarious at the same time?
>>151075903I've made a few over the years. My most recent one is also the one I'm most proud of.
>>151077962and she has her own self insert OC :)
>>151075903The art’s pretty impressive
Autistic girls are real?
>>151080916If they are, I need to date them.
>>151075903I think it's sweet. It's fine as long as there's a sense of self-awareness behind it. I like whenever female porn artists do it since they're usually the type to have a sense of humor about things, or they don't take it too seriously because they know it's just for fun.Some people try to paint it as a bad thing, but it's really no different than having a crush on a famous person. But becoming parasocially obsessed is not excusable, regardless of whether someone is unhealthily fixating on a cartoon character, a Youtuber, or an actor.
>>151075903Kenny would never date a brown woman.
>>151081533What part of him saying "I like girls with big fat titties" don't you get?
>>151081602And notice how Kenny never dated or had a crush on a brown woman.
>>151075903If it's the basis for the show like Johnny Bravo it can work to a degree. Unironic cringe self inserts to an established franchise/series should be punishable by death.
