i piece of online ettiquete i didnt realise more people dont know about is how to politley talk about someone elses OC.
please remember that its generally considered rude to compare someones original character, or original work in general to another piece of media. artists dont think its a complement when you say their character looks liek your blorbo from your shows. they see it as you saying theyve ripped it off or you dont see any value in their design outside its resemblence to something else you like.
yes this is about you fuckers calling my DND character a komaeda homstuck fantroll
if you tell me he looks like a homestuck i will kill you but someone once told me my OC looks like a dr.pepper drinker and i think about this every day. more of this actually.
Incidentally, if a character has a lot of clear thought put into them, saying they’d be better with a different sex or personality can come off harsher than intended.
You aren’t commenting on like a movie or piece of media, but something they may have put alot of themselves into.
