I think making a self-insert character look like you actually reflects a certain degree of self-confidence and satisfaction with the way you look. I don't create self-inserts outside of my head, but my mom once tried to get me into Second Life and when we played around with creating an avatar for me, she asked why I made it look like me and I was like, "It's supposed to represent me, why would I want it to look like someone else??" Apparently, I was missing the point of Second Life, which I do not have time for, anyway, because I am not a retiree like her yet. So, I can certainly see why people who are creating a version of themselves but in space or as a superhero or something would just want to make a character who looks like them because it *is* them.

That said, it's definitely a somewhat... uncomfortable? way to go with something like a webcomic or something that is bigger than just your personal fantasy.
