#based of course on the garfield breast reduction comic

Inscryptober Week 4: Transcendence

I think this one is self-explanatory.

especially when i want to bring up the fact that the comics are cannon to the show but not vice versa

i just hate particular head cannons because i feel personally ripped apart when ppl say "if you don't think this you're a bad person" and I'm like... "no that just doesn't fit the character imo"

Here I will talk about something personal;

Ive seen this post talking about 'donnies big chest', and they had the Garfield breast reduction meme as a redraw, and sure it was funny, but it made me uncomfortable

Im all for women taking back r34 and sexualizing men just as much as we are and blah blah blah, but what I don't like is the blatan sexualization of large breasts

Of course, at a biological standpoint, large breasts are attractive to anyone, but I hate that we can't have big chested characters without having revealing/'sExY' fan art/cannon clothing without sexualizing them.

And people drawing men with big pecs, well duh, muscular men have pecs.

However, the fedishization of said features is alarming and scary to think that even within our own communities do we objectify not only our favorite characters but real people (like me) that are represented in this way.

It's is OKAY!!!!! to be a fedish artist, and find things attractive, but it is not okay to ONLY draw big chested characters in this manner.

Put them in pj's! put them in lounge clothes! put them in whatever, just don't always make them sexual for no other reason then they have a big chest, especially if you're not doing it to any other character.

Anyway, of course Donatello will have big shoulders and large chest. His body type is based off an Olympic swimmer, meaning he has bigger lungs to swim.

But I feel extraordinarily uncomfortable when people make his pecs stick out (like breasts) rather then be evenly spread like any other muscles

overall, I hate Fandom and i think ill stop letting reblogs on my posts so fannon doesn't interact, I'm so fed up at this point

witnessing fanon evolve away from canon in real time is equal parts fascinating and frustrating, because it becomes increasingly impossible to talk about anything that actually happened IN canon without people insisting that you take into account several dozen supplemental popular headcanons that you may or may not personally vibe with.

but it's still fascinating from, like, an academic perspective.
