I didn't start hitting up the Japanese fanart sites until after KH2, but I've seen it too - the big AkuMaru thing? I agree. Crap, crap, crap. Either way, I was more referring to the side of fandom we end up seeing more - the North American side - but I won't disagree with you.

Then again, the vast majority of doujinshi are Japanese-made, and to this day I have found few that are entirely IC :P Besides, in all honesty, you see very little Japanese fanart that's IC, for KH, really.

I don't like the fandom's mentality that the Japanese's OOC is okay, though. It's kind of weird.
