GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

[Kosheh]

I can already see Splatoon fan-characters being the new Sonic fan-characters. Except this time we won't have to deal with sprite recolors.

Ooh, thanks for reminding me to hound my friend on drawing my Splatoon OC

Not gonna lie, this is probably the least obnoxious thing because every Splatoon OC, in theory, can exist in game and things aren't weird and all those inklings exist for the same reason. The customization is so diverse that it actually limits creativity, and in the case of Splatoon I'm totally OK with it. With something like Sonic or FNAF, you're literally bending the lexicon to your liking and it's Irritating As Fuck

If there's one issue I have with fan characters, it's the TMNT ones. Because most I've seen are self-insert Mary Sues of fangirls.

WAIT, DO THESE EXIST? JESUS, THE ONLY THING THAT I THOUGHT WAS STILL PURE IN OUR WORLD
I mean, I could easily see somebody making like, characters that resemble the Mona Lisa from the '87 series but literally turtles that just happen to mutate from similar mutagen to the turtles? Hell, even if fangirls made like other creatures (like Manda Rey, Ray Fillet's cousin who's got a thing for Michelangelo? Took me 3 seconds : 3c) I'd be --
okay Dolph I'm sure you'll agree with me here but is it me or does April in the new 2012 series feel kinda Mary Sue-ish with her abilities? 

Not really spoilery unless you literally haven't finished season 1

Like, it was cool that she was learning how to use a warfan and could actually defend herself in her fights with Karai, but as soon as her mindcontrol/psyblast abilities like What the Fuck)

The problem is mostly stemming from oversaturation.  It's no secret that everyone outside these fandoms are sick of seeing the same thing in masse everywhere they go.  Ignoring them is made harder when they're constantly shoved in your face daily (The big 4; Sonic, FNAF, Ponies, Undertale).  So, they can draw whatever they want, but that doesn't mean people will be happy about it.  Especially their watchers that originally watched them because of their own ideas, but never got see them again, because they flipped the fan art switch.  Completely abandoning their own creations for months, in favor of doing nonstop Mario fan art.

Koh I'm sorry this isn't quite related but seeing you've been talking about fandom oversaturation I just can't stop thinking about that one image
