?

This is an issue... why? You don't like the character?

Why would anyone want to bring them down? So what if they have the hots for one character? I see zero problems with the artist as described. Secret-maker is the one who feels weird in this situation.

But why... would you bring this person down to earth? Can you feel good about them having their exciting fantasy fling? If you can't hold your mouth, you should have the decency to stay away. Don't shit on other people's joy, that just makes you a shitty person and they don't deserve to have to deal with your hang-ups.

Like, would you tell someone who's newly married or have bought a brand new car that their partner or car was ugly and useless? I don't think so, even if that's what you think to yourself. And fandom isn't any different.

I find it especially weird that you assume other people are noticing this in the same way and should be discouraging them, even if it's an unusual attraction. Let them have their fun.

Uh, OP, people can do whatever they want. They don't owe you anything. You're the one with the problem, not this artist.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-23 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought the whole point of fandom was being obsessed and having the hots for fictional characters. I mean, that's typically how it's always worked for me.

So, this character is clearly inspiring them. They're not doing any harm. Leave them be.

Sounds like it's your problem honestly.

The artist can draw whoever they want.

So, I wrote a ton of fic about Spike and Xander (and Sam and Dean). I was 'clearly obsessed' with them . Would you have wanted me 'brought down to earth', too?

Sheesh. Give it a rest.

I don't know who this person is, but I'm happy for them. I think it's great they have found something they love so much.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-23 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
An artist is creating lots of fanart for a character they really like and this is a problem...why? Isn't that just, well...how fandom works?

(Anonymous) 2018-07-23 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe the people encouraging them think the character's hot too. I dunno, OP. On one hand, I get how seeing the same character over and over again can be annoying, but on the other hand, it's pretty great that this artist has a character that inspires them so much and is making them happy.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-23 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
OP, you should totally tell them this. So they can block you.

Translation: OP is buttmad because the artist is enjoying themselves instead of being able to read OP's mind and draw what OP wants.

Probably the people cheering the artist on also like/have the hots for the character. So what?

(Anonymous) 2018-07-24 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Rude, OP.

Are you talking about Detroit: Become Human? I bet you're talking about Detroit: Become Human.

Why, for goodness sake, would they need to be "brought down to earth"? They are having fun in fandom. That is what they're supposed to be doing. Crushes on fictional characters are fun and hotness is subjective. Quit being the fun police.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-24 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
An artist obsessed over one particular subject? Oh my.

Stop concern trolling, OP. This is a story as old as creation.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-24 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
i've seen this happen to a number of artists and as unfortunate and annoying as it is, there's nothing you can do. in a few years their obsession will likely move on to a new character. all you can do is be thankful that they drew a thing you liked once. i'm thankful for any good art i can find of my favs.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-24 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'm an artist. Not a fanart artist, but I have done some portraits of famous people for fun. Please do not be an asshole and call this person out. You obviously have no idea what this person's creative process might be. I get obsessed with painting one thing over and over until I get it the way I want it and the process takes my paintings from ones I sell for ten bucks at a sidewalk art fair to selling for hundreds to people who commissioned me. So if you don't like that an artist is clearly practicing until it's perfect then feel free to fuck right off. She's obviously not working for you. You're not paying her. There's the door. Bye.

This is such a weird reaction. I love seeing people get over-the-top obsessed with a fictional character even if the character's not one I'm particularly into, just because it's such a relatable experience for me. It just makes me kind of happy for the other fans of that character that they have a creator putting out such good content.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-24 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
So the fuck what? Let them make art of a character they have the hots for. Newsflash: they wouldn’t be the first fan artist to do so.
