( No Title )
When a creator makes their work public don’t get to demand how other people react to it. They can maintain their boundaries by not associating with those people and works.
It is unreasonable to demand that a fandom cater to what makes the creator comfortable or uncomfortable.
Genuine question to you, what ab ccs? Like, I fully agree for fictional people, but is there a line for nsfw and shipping then it’s the ccs behind content and they’ve openly stayed they’re uncomfortable with it?
The line between personal OCs and fictional media characters can be blurry but if a creator is explicitly publishing story content for an audience, then they are no longer just that person’s OCs, they are published media.
Oh no, I didn’t mean ocs. I meant the content creators themselves.
Take media like minecraft rp, the lines between the charthers and creators are blurry, but there’s often set boundaries from the creators with what they’re comfortable with regarding their person, differently from the ones with their OC, which while it might be a self insert, it’s still a fictional charther.
Do you think it changes that, or is it the same concept?
The character being a self-insert doesn’t change anything in my opinion.
All characters share a part of the author who created them to one degree or another.
There can be a blurry line between what counts as a character or not, like, as you say with minecraft rp, content creators like Yahtzee, The Angry Video Game Nerd, Stephen Colbert, etc, where its difficult to tell whether something counts as rpf or not.
But I still don’t think the creator gets a say in it once they become a media figure.
(for the record, I don’t think children should put themselves forward to be media figures.)
