Just draw your own oc at this point!!!! This is not Sinclair anymore, but a muppet : \

they aren't creative enough to make oc's so they have to piggyback on already existing characters and throw them in a blender.

It's astounding that if you have the skills to be that kind of artist, how can you NOT accidentally draw an OC while just randomly sketching? Every practice hairdo and clothing study should be only a few strokes away from making a viable character.... and yet, they'd rather take an established one and go horribly off-model, and call THAT accomplishment? I don't get it.

Goddammit, is nothing sacred to these fuckers? If poor Sinclair gets mutilated, how badly has Ryan been treated?

I wonder if part of it is just wanting more attention. If you post your original characters, no one's going to care if you're not a well established artist already. If you vaguely make them look like characters from a series you can put them in all the related tags and more people will see it and want to interact with it.

Pretty much this. They aren't interested in drawing the character to look pretty or in an interesting light with a comic. They just use it for their agenda or to promote fighting the "patriarchy". At that point, why not use original characters?

It's a question asked in this thread multiple times and I have answer. It's because they know they have nothing to show for themselves. Drawing original art gets you shit views even when it's super good. You either have to post it consistently for awhile or build a sizable reputation.

But with fanart, not only does it spread much more quicker, it requires less effort. Because even a shitty doddle of Sailor Moon will get more love than your own original work. That's just a fact. But instead of learning to improve and trying to make their art better, they can cry foul, go with the trend, and use other people's characters because they don't have to work as hard. But also, they get super defensive when you tell them that the character they drew wasn't in character because if there is one thing fans hate more than anything, it's seeing a character they know and love (especially a waifu) being butchered for some agenda.

They didn't like it with the PPG reboot, they didn't like it with the She-Ra reboot, and they especially won't like it with anime characters.

It's pretty damn easy to simply retool an existing character to suit your needs. Hell, PETA does it with its ham-fisted parodies. They do it because these characters have earned their audience - a massive global audience that is willing to fave anything to do with their favorite series. So you may have a handful of groups that attempt this.

1. Fans who want to get into art, or really anyone who wants to improve. Sometimes the best way to learn something is to dissect it. Breaking down a character by individual strokes can occasionally help teach a budding artist to do the same eventually. So long as they branch out from there, this can be a decent educational tool. Otherwise it's just them wanting to look cool.
2. Selling a product. This can make sense from time to time. Characters appear in merchandising adverts constantly, usually with some attempt to pair them with a product that they might use in-canon. If a character loves drinking soda, why not have them advertise Coca-Cola? Or Pepsi? It'd be pretty obvious what they're doing but if handled well, it can be harmless and quite effective in garnering sales.
3. Selling an agenda/going full autist. I'll just combine the two here. Whether it's PETA or Tumblr, some groups want to expand out of their echo chambers they constructed for themselves. Problem is these same groups sound as crazy as, well, you can easily imagine. It's like a cult: everyone needs to think the same, speak the same, draw the same. If this was simply a method of getting a point across without sounding judgmental ('smoking's bad,' 'be cool to one another,' 'don't trust Jared Fogle with your kids') then maybe it can be justified. But you know it isn't. They want the world to conform to their behavioral norms and want to view everything in binary. "Us or them." No subtlety or originality.

Poorly, which in a place like Rapture would be a death sentence. That fatass wouldn't last two weeks there.

That's what gets me about these redesigns. The "artists" don't give a shit about the context of the characters, they just want to use them to spread their nonsensical ideologies and to look "progressive", even though the art often looks like stereotypical (or even racist) caricatures at best.

Funny how much they whine about oppressive binaries while they go about sorting everyone and everything into either "with us" or "against us".
