That text was written by @courtneyreal They are a friend of mine. That text talk about my DWD OC, and some trauma i had. They wanted that i share it on my Tumblr since it didn’t worked on their tumblr for some reason.
Every piece of media has its own fanbase circulating around it. And most of these fanbases have fan stuff. One of those things and stuff are also OCs. OC stands for original character if you're braindead enough to not know that. So, sometimes fandom roleplaying gets boring with just the canon characters. And the fandom spices it up with, you guessed it, OCs!
They can either be too Over Powered (OP), shipped with someone, have special abilities, ect.
The fandom either rejects the concept of the character or accepts it. But, even if accepted, it still gets its fair share of hate. (Not really the character but the creator, mostly)I am going to take my friend's Darkwing Duck OC, Hannah, as an example. Her OC is a witch married to the main character Drake Mallard (Darkwing Duck) and has kids with him (fan made kids). The main ship of that fandom is Drake x Launchpad (Drakepad) which she doesn't like and the OC's purpose i think was somehow stopping the idea of the fandom favorite ship.We usually play pony town together, cosplaying the characters and roleplaying. I made some of the kid characters by the way. Anyway, so my friend makes art of the OC and the OC's family and shenanigans they get in to. So we sometimes rp, give each other ideas.... But, as always, there's the fun stopping people.They have PMed my friend, telling her that her OC is a whore. Telling her she has a mental issue. Telling her she's homophobic for not shipping the before said ship. Bunch of accusations and then later on muting her. And, this wasn't even the first time. I could go on and on... And i can understand that creators like that get hate, sometimes not handling the hate, sometimes getting even more harassment by alt accounts of the same person... Blocking them would result in the creator being " weak ". So, I think the best solution is to start defending the OC and then later you. With calmness and less swearing and yelling.
