i think its weird how artists and especially youtubers will 'redesign' characters from media they deem problematic as though slapping a new coat of paint on the character erases all the issues they were rooted in to begin with. or as though redesigning the character makes them Better than the original creator, because now its THEIRS

#pine prattles #as a dude who has redesigned canon characters into ocs many times for personal benefit (drawing blorbo making silly stories)#i've never once been like yeah. i'm Better than the original/canon because i wrote something else #i see the 'problematic' media 'fixes' with hh/hb and stuff like yansim a lot #and i see the 'mine are better' 'redesigns' with stuff like su and mlp #and im just like. man. can yall just... draw fanart normal style #and understand that its okay to enjoy smth AND be critical of it #without HAVING to 'make it yours'#like if you wanted to make your own Hell Based Character Designs. you dont have to take hh/hb. you can just make new ocs #or if you wanted to make mlp ocs. no one is saying you have to draw Canon MLP Horse So Redesigned You Can't Recognize Them #or... like ppl try nd 'reclaim' HP sometimes and it makes me tired. just make a magic school. your own magic school. without the jk stuff.#idk! im tired #im surprised i've never stumbled on a 'redesigning south park characters bc theyre sorta yikessss....'#but then again. isnt that what panderverse is. they did it themselves
