18:57:53shinmeraWhat's up with fans of a thing making fanworks where the characters aren't anything like the source material
18:58:14shinmeralike, at that point, what's the point of it being a fan work if you're not even really interested in the characters
19:09:03gingeraleMaking a whole new character sounds like a lot more effort.
19:09:54PincerAttackIs there an example of what you are talking about?
19:13:01PincerAttackWhat I think is that either someone likes a particular interpretation of the character, or as gingy says they don't have the ability to be accurate.
19:13:54shinmeraPincerAttack: like fan comics where the characters behave very unlike how they'd act in the real thing
19:13:59PincerAttackWhat I think is that either someone likes a particular interpretation of the character, or as gingy says they don't have the ability to be accurate to the source material.
19:14:07shinmeraor fan fiction, especially shippings, where they're just bent to unrecognisability
19:14:15gingeraleEh, they can have the ability to be accurate, just don't want to.
19:15:03gingeraleSome comics with multiple writers do it too. They have their own ideas on how a character should be and just change it. It's annoying especially when the source material was really good.
19:16:39gingeraleThey just want A2 to be cutesy with 9S.
19:16:47shinmeraBut I've also seen a ton of touhou stuff like it
19:17:12shinmeragingerale: I guess but it's not really A2 anymore at that point
