most oc artist hate when their characters get compared to some random stuff
I don't care how funny people think they are, or how non-malicious they think it sounds, just pls cut that out, no one wants to hear that their original creation looks like something else

Comments
Like...okay??? No one asked?? I mostly felt bad for the artist though because those were the only comments they got
And also, it's just so weird that instead of either saying nothing or saying that they like something about the artwork, people like that just leave a "hey that looks like [blank]" comment and walk away confidently
Like, ew?? No? So rude😬
anything personal and creative shouldn't be compared!
That OC existed looooong before the game and isn't even a skeleton
it's so weird that people just can't understand that not everything they come across resembles their current interest <:D
(and don't get me on comparisons where there is literally nothing in common between the characters at all.. like where are these comparisons coming from??)
some people are reaching so much it's a miracle they haven't pulled a muscle <:D
Two of mine got compared to Dracula and Mario 😅
aw man what?? where do they look like Dracula or Mario? people make associations with stuff where there is literally none <:D
At first glance, people like to cling to physical appearance regarding OCs. What makes them truly unique is their personality and if they don't see that, these people aren't worth explaining my OC.
I agree, tho I would also say that it's the combination of the appearance with the personality and other traits that makes them who they are ;v;
that's the reason why I block stuff like that
some rando just shows up with an empty acc, spews bs like this and tells you, the artist, how you should act when some dumb asshole makes you uncomfortable 🤡
Dude really wanted to provide an example of shitty behavior :DD
can't type today <:D
But mostly so I don't waste every feeling annoyed.
And yeah, saying yourself the trouble of getting annoyed and stuff is very valid!
(also wahh hi, I love your lil purrmaids so much!!)
But also this is because I realized I mentally make those associations on others but positively
and yeah :c unfortunately, after so many years you just learn to block out those comments :c
it's not that hard to treat others' creations as unique things 'cause that's what they are
A guy asked me if the Purrmaids were "hybrids" then spent 20 minutes telling me I should get a partnership with hybrid cars using Purrmaids to distract children. It was the most baffling and highly detailed plan.
I don't have the patience for stuff like that tbh, I block immediately
when it comes to asking about inspo - it could be just that, a question <:'0
I myself don't like comparisons because it makes me feel like my creations are not unique and that makes me uncomfortable
I never want to be rude to those people cause I know they don't mean any harm but still
STOP
I don't understand your stance, personally, but good on you for putting your stance out there so people don't make you uncomfortable.
Like, there are so many ways to say that they like the art or the character without comparisons <:D
An artist sees that comparison and hears "Your idea is unoriginal - heres where its been done before".
Keep the comparisons in your head, please 🙏
I wonder if they themselves would like to be compared to someone else completely, like, a completely different person they have never met but share some traits with
'cause a lot of the time this comparison stuff is ridiculous
like plss nooo
and yess, I absolutely agree, some comments need to be just inside-thoughts
example: this reminds me of a cozy autumn day (when the art depicts scarves or some.. legit vibes like that)
but compared to other media or even other peoples ocs?
noping out fast 😭
wish that oc artists were treated with respect and kindness instead of this :c
im sure a lot did not know what it means to artists, but if they are willing to learn, those are the true allies (and the ones who dont.. yeah..) ;O;9
there's nothing wrong in people learning about this and realizing that they weren't really complimenting all those artists ;v;
sadly some people just choose to double down and get defensive about their not-so-pleasant words but there's way less of them ;;
