Like the person above, for most of these arguments, I'm just like, so what? If this is how artists want to spend their time and how fans want to spend their money, I don't think it's awful. Some of this reads like the concern trolling I sometimes see for fanfic writers that it's so artistically lazy for them to use other people's worlds and characters as a crutch. But like... what do you care about the artistic fulfillment of some person on the internet? It seems weirdly nosy.

As for copyright infringement, sorry, it's not copyright infringement. Copyright law protects works/texts as a whole, not styles or ideas (including characters). Trademark law might cover this, but it's likely to only kick in if the artist is pawning their work off as official artwork, and cutting into sales of the original. With fanart, this is highly doubtful. I'm not sure what incidents you're referring to of artists being shut down. The ones I've heard of have been companies who market their stuff to children shutting down pornographic fanart because it hurts their branding.
