OC Tropes I Hate (and yes, I'm guilty of them)

  I don't know why people think "I can't write LGBTQ characters they're too complicated!!" Or like any minority because you literally just need to write a normal character and then make them whatever trait. It doesn't require you completely making their personality or backstory revolve around whatever they are

  Chloe is one of those instances where becoming a redeemed bully probably would&apos;ve made her more interesting. She was the wielder of the bee miraculous at one point, imagine her as France&apos;s new superhero. It&apos;d also be better than her still trying to come between Marinette and Adrien. About making OCS that revolve around being gay, I try to avoid that with my characters. Fiona for example is bisexual but that only gets mentioned once. There&apos;s a lot to her character besides her sexual orientation like how snarky, bold, but caring she is. How she&apos;s a prodigy when it comes to playing the flute but wants to be known for her other talents as well, and how she doesn&apos;t worry as much as her friends Josie, Evie, Julie, and Stella. She&apos;s the least likely to take threats seriously.

  For the LSP movie I quite like it, it was a fun watch. Would never do again. I do however agree and literally don&apos;t know how people can make being an identity their whole personality, like the character should have other things that they like.

  Honestly what grosses me out more than blatant f3tish in all ages media, is when it&apos;s literally shoved in your face, and then the character is infantalised on top of that.<br>For example I&apos;ve seen SO many big chested girl characters be included in freaky jokes and obvious fanservice with HUGE breasts only to be babied. Same with the &quot;huge muscles mantits man&quot; trope. So many of them have muscle so big that realistically they&apos;d have trouble moving, their abs and chest are shoved into your face, they&apos;re constantly used in fanservice, which is uncomfortable enough when you&apos;re just trying to watch something which&apos;s main premise is NOT that, only to later also be infantalised... Like, eugh...

  I actually LOVE OC x canon. I have multiple ships like this. But I don&apos;t like when its all that oc. They need more quirks, backstory and goals outside of their spause

  I don’t rlly get why ppl hate “fetish” ocs so much 🥲 I mean like,, most of the time when ppl say “Omg!! CrEatOrs HidDeN fEtiSh!! 😧😮” its just.. not true?? 😭 like even if a character is made for “fetish content” who cares, man?? 😔 it’s just a character some1 made for themselves, it doesn’t hurt any1 🥹🥹 (no hate btw)

  I don’t even like Lebsian Space Princess that much, but the criticism of Saira having a too romance-focused character arc in what is obviously an queer exploration/coming-of-age story rubs me the wrong way. The same level of scrutiny toward romance-focused plots is rarely applied to hetero-focused stories, &amp; it just feels like disdain toward queer-centric plots/unapolagetically gay art under the guise of criticism. And while I can’t deny that the gay coming-of-age plot is painfully overdone, it’s strange for a queer content creator of all people to only highlight mediocre media made by other queer creators to make your point.

  About the LSP: <br><br>This movie is a satire. It&apos;s not meant to be taken seriously. The title itself could already tell that. So I don&apos;t think that making Saira&apos;s main trait being a lesbian is a bad thing, because she isn&apos;t meant to be written as a person you could meet in real life.<br>Besides, this movie already has enough of critice and, honestly? I liked this movie. It&apos;s not my favourite movie, I also don&apos;t love it, but imo there are MANY other things or series that deserves the hate more than lsp

  I dont really get the fetish one tbh. There nothing wrong with most fetishes. If you dont like it thats fine, but kinks and fetishes are completely normal and we shouldnt be shaming people for indulging in them. Obviously if theyre projecting it onto real people who arent okay with it thats bad, but none of the examples here were doing that. :l

  Personally I like to show a characters sexuality through the story without saying it directly and just make it a part of their character and focus more on their love for someone instead of what their sexuality is
