#explore and describe the character in 1 fic than a fanartist would in 1 piece of art

[moraent-keys]

I’m gonna preface this by saying: I suck at trying to explain things 💀 bare with me, this is probably a bit controversial in terms of fandom stuff

Does anyone else get confused why people get so mad about making characters somewhat ooc?

I think I’m specifically thinking of fanart here, because I often see people getting mad at fanartists for portraying one aspect of a character.. through only one piece of art?

Or even when people fully acknowledge that, yeah, sometimes how they portray a character is a little / very ooc, and they are completely aware of that. Sometimes people just want to have fun with the characters- and that doesn’t necessarily affect how they view or analyze that piece of media

I guess I’m just confused? I get that sometimes it’s bad (infantalizing, not acknowledging that something is ooc, etc.) but, tbh, I’ve not seen a lot of people who portray a character as somewhat ooc who also believe that that’s how the character actually acts

Idk if this made any sense, it’s like 2 am and I’m tired. I’ve just been seeing a lot of ppl heated over this and I’m genuinely lost

#yeah I really don’t think i explained this well #might delete this in the morning #if anyone is reading this and decides to reply- don’t be rude #I’m genuinely confused #text post #hazbin hotel #technically? I see this in a lot of fandoms #I do not have a large vocabulary at 2 in the morning #rant post #I also know this doesn’t necessarily apply to fanfic in the same way cuz they tend to have more of a chance to #explore and describe the character in 1 fic than a fanartist would in 1 piece of art #but even then- again- most things I read that *might* have a character being ooc usually has it addressed in the tags or notes? #idk #this is a whole rant
