Not saying this in a hateful way just incase someone gets offended, but please word things better when you're writing about real people.
I don't get who, and what people are "glazing me" over as i am not actively drawing at the time due to school exams, nor i am "getting most of the attention" due to the same inactivity, but even if i was, wouldn't it be logical considering i was one of the first oc creators? (at the time i joined with my concept on tiktok, march of 2024, there was like maybe 5-6 other ranfren ocs going around). I'm not ashamed to admit i take pride in that i inspired and introduced many to ranfren, and i will hold that fact dearly because it is special. To me, and to my followers.
However, while i don't argue, there are a lot of ranfren oc artists(i dare mention therawmeat88/X, liixaeq/Tiktok, thespirel/Tiktok, and many others that i don't think i can fit in here) that are also deserving of appreciation for their creativity. But in the end, i guess it's a matter of luck, timing and creativity. I didn't asked to be "known" as some might say, i actually have never asked anyone to draw my character as i know drawing takes time, all of that attention a free will choice of my supporters. I can't speak on everyone's behalf, but most people rather leave because of 1. Useless dramas, 2. Lack of recent content, 3. They simply find media that fits them better, and that's okay! That's how it is in most fandoms. Especially stuff like ranfren that is indie media.
Besides i don't think we should act as if it's shameful for people to like someone's elses characters just because they're ocs. I've always had people dming me on here, wavebox, twitter, asking me if it's okay to draw my character more than once because they're afraid of getting called "weird" because of it.
Here i will dare to assume ranfren is your first oc fandom, considering this situation (ones being higher than others) is not just a ranfren oc community issue, but is literally quite everywhere. Even outside of oc communities. Fandoms has been always this way, well, unless if it's an underground fandom with 20 active members that crave more fans.
I've said this many times, and i hope this is the last time i say this- PLEASE! keep my name out of your mouth *unless* i am directly involved with you/or your issue. I have every right to complain about this problem since i have been dragged in fights/dramas before with people i've never once interacted with or ever seen in my life, behind my back, if that doesn't sound pesky enough.
I care about everyone's safety, but also my own. I cannot be someone's referee or excuse for behaviour. I am a developing human being that lives outside of this screen, and i have enough problems in real life that are mentally damaging me. All i ask from this fandom is to be respectful modern people, because recently many others have been victims of ranfren toxicity(coming from other creators,
!!!this doesn't involves OP, but please be careful with who you are interacting with on here.)
Anyways, to say goodbye, i hope you find a better place to share your interests, and i wish you all the best🪳💕
