Sorry to be a "let people enjoy things" guy but is this not a bizarrely corny way to talk about art?
like yeah i have encountered people online who think their ocs who exist in a contextless bubble deserve the same reverence as fully realized characters, and that mentality is annoying, but i don't actually think the end goal of all art is to became a webcomic, i think it's a perfectly fine if people want to flex their creative muscle by creating funky character designs with wacky backstories just for the joy of creation itself, like you don't have to be personally invested in it, but it's a bizarre way to moralize art especially coming from a group of people who otherwise seem to be against that?
Also wow. Making fun of personality disorders while complaining about people *checks notes* having interests you find "cringe." How kind and empathetic you must be. đ
incidentally
"write fan-fiction of stories they have no desire to create"
???????
is that not creating the story??
