Had this issue on a Mlaatr forum where one kid had an OC who was Jenny's boyfriend. He spammed this in all the role play threads, and no one else could have an OC in love with her.
What a fuck fest.

I'm actually ok with this. It'd be weirder if it was an actual character.
Is there such a thing as good fan content but with OCs?
>>84583858
>OC is a multiverse traveller that is friends with every show MC.

Some of the Super Robot Wars games.

When the creator actively works to balance his character, or make them relatable.

Not necessarily an OC thing, but you reminded me of this self-entitled bullshit.
>>84584443
>self-entitled
I never considered that. That would explain a lot.
Like where do these people get off thinking thier creation is the greatest shit?
>Awesome, invincible, power incarnate, supreme lover...

Ass.

They are often far from original.
>the problem
Everyone can make an OC and RP or write fanfiction, and that's okay.
It goes wrong when the creator is overly aggressive/narcissistic with their character. They poison the harmony of the community with thier entitlement. The fun ends.
They are like the spoiled brat who flips the game board when things don't go thier way, or they are called out on thier bullshit.
>>84584728
Aren't there threads where /co/ riffs on OC's and the terrible art dedicated to them?
>>84584728
>the OC is/was an "official" characterHis design was better when he was literally just Sonic with generic bad-boy clothes.
>>84584728
>it has things I don't like, that means it's automatically bad
>>84584764
See, THIS is a perfectly reasonable complaint against an OC. If they break the rules or the writer makes preexisting characters act like assholes for the sake of their ship or something, then that's bullshit.
Thing is, that's not necessarily the case. You just assume it is, thus in your mind, OCs are inherently bad, when they're really not.
>>84584857
Okay then. Pick a show.
What are the best OCs you've seen for it? Is the creator a decent person?
Alternatively, which are the worse OCs? What's wrong with the creator?
>>84584965
>What are the best OCs you've seen for it? Is the creator a decent person
Tempo, AKA Quake Woman from Archie Mega Man. Her story is actually pretty solid, she's an enjoyable character, and her arc establishes an important thematic connection to Proto Man's storyline. And I'd say Ian Flynn is an alright guy. Bit of a turbonerd, but otherwise decent.
>Alternatively, which are the worse OCs? What's wrong with the creator?
Name just about any of the OCs from Crash Bandicoot Retold. They're all bland, pointless filler with no character and no actual reason to be in the story. And the creator, Super Saiyan Crash is kind of terrifying in how utterly out of touch with reality he is.
>>84584857
90% of fan characters are terrible. At the very least 1 or 2 of the things mentioned in this thread usually applies to them, and they're more often than not an outlet for the creator's power fantasies than an actual well thought out creation that fits in with the setting and tone of the universe it's supposed to be in.
Mind you, the only reason I didn't say that 100% of them are bad is because there's no way I can know about every OC ever made, so I'm just assuming there are good fan characters out there, although I've never seen one.

Easy.
/aco/ drawthreads.
The worst drawthreads of the site, everybody is always fighting over meanless shit and trying to drive people away in the hope that an artist will draw his waifu for the 133# time.
The faggots are also entitled as fuck.

Speaking of MLaaTR, there's dressguy. Obsessed with the one episode where Jenny wears a dress. He always posts broken English replies that make no sense and he'll be having a conversation with himself once he's driven everyone out of the thread.
>>84585368
>requests his OC fucking thier waifu.

That desperation...
>Sex scene

I used to do all this when I was 13 with a self insert, but I grew out of it fairly quickly when I realized everyone else did it, and it was stupid.

you dont just 'draw good' out of nowhere anon
>>84585537
Yeah man, I was garbage-tier back then. I mean, even back then that wasn't my best, but there is no defending it. And I thought it was so good anyway. I wish I had that confidence now, I'm an independent artist now, and I've worked with companies like Coke before, and I feel like everything I draw is an abomination after it's completed.
>>84583986
Yeah, I remember one where the OC was a new member of a group and wasn't focused on in anyway, just kind of there.
>Fan fiction

I'm a concept artist and the only way to battle this feeling is to just mercilessly push yourself to your very limit. After that, nothing else matters, cause you did everything you could.

Stuff like this can be funny, cringe, and pitiful at the same time.
This speaks for itself.
>>84587749
A true American classic!
>>84585746
Penders also is under the impression that he owns the concept of the multiverse. Just saying.

I remember doing that shit when I was twelve. Glad I was too socially awkward to publicly post any of it

Based on my gut feeling,Loud House.
Then again, it could be a lot of shows.
