Description
[link]from being in the anti sparkledog club one if the things that bothers the people is not just the 'bawww bad anatomy' or "bawwww dogs ain't pink with wings"
some for no reason get offended when people pour their hearts and souls into creating characters, animal characters who/are
mentally ill
suicidal
drug addicted
come from abusive homes/realtionships
with no real reason.
I wonder how many of the people who make deep deep characters do research, or know what they are doing
and not just slap on these traits as an accessory.
it is cool and edgy to have a rainbow lion who was raped by his dad as a child, and so now he is an adult who cuts, shoots up, has some kind of shellshock.
OC here can be for anything, doggies, HP fancharacters
if you can dispute your claim and back it up, then you shouldn't be offended I'm attacking your ability to make characters, or that I am ragging on your tastes
its just people are touchy and don't think "LOL Skitttzooooofrannnticcc" is funny, and those who seen family members spiral into a bad bad way because of drugs.
or the characters were cured of something that is not cured but helped. "was bipolar and murderous but is ok now"
the use of "izms" counts for "racistm" "sexism" any kind of bias and bigotry "my character's family was murderd because they were..." "were kicked out of for being...."
this could count more for absurd furrier characters, or sparklefails.
but OC can be used overall for unwarranted 'features'.
so you are writing a book? then yes
so you rp a character? ok
so you made something to do nothing or for people to draw?
so your character is "you" despite living a nice life and not having any traumas?
it's not 'cool'
like 'rainbow gay'
I'm going to make a Cheetah character now with cancer from having been involved in a radioactive accident, or an A-bomb from when the Russian wolves bombed South Africa in talking-animal land, and who was raped and mutilated and thrown in a prison camp who has very bad Post Tramatic Stress Disorder and pees every time she plays tetris
lol skytsophrinia

I have a lot of my character have mental disorders, I also do research on the mental disorder to make sure they are acting right and I also have dreams of them too. Robert Moonshine is one of my characters that has Paranoid Schizo(Don't know how to spell it at the moment X3) and I actually have a few more, I don't see why it's bad to have characters like that?

I have a character named Emily who was raped, I dont like to rp it or write about it, I have an official backstory, a reason the guy did it, etc. She acts in a certain way because of it, and some people still call her a bad character and sh8t like that. Most of my characters have MAJOR problems and some have no problems. Idk I find it a bit stupid on MY opinion, but to others it could look stupid of me and I understand that. Can I have your opinion?
π: 0 β©: 0
I had someone rip me for being "a sick fuck" because I said some of my characters were abused or tortured in their pasts, like wtf? I just like them to have tragic pasts, who wants a boring ass OC with a normal white picket fence life? My OCs are all about mental disorders and powers and horrible things happening to them every 5 minutes. Because character creation/RP is supposed to be fun, not boring everyday life stuff
π: 0 β©: 1
but did you enjoy torturing your personal characters? or had them be raped as children?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, but actually RPing people in horrible situations helps me understand it better and form empathy for people who deal with those issues in real life (I'm autistic so that stuff isn't always easy). So I think it's actually beneficial XD

I agree, but if you're going to do it, do it RIGHT. Have a good backstory, etc.

Giving your OC real-life issues makes them more loved by the community in my opinion~Β

do you know how to portray schizophrenia correctly?

I don't think there's a problem having a character with a not-so-good backstory or any form of mental or physical disability. One of my characters has a backstory of rape in my own mind, although I never state this backstory, it is implied through behavioural traits. Is there anything wrong with that?

The complaint isn't about the OC's, it is about the annoying fan characters. Which, I'm assuming is what you're referring to.
Β
If it is, then don't do it, because nothing ruins a fandom like the annoying Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu.
π: 0 β©: 1
The OC can't ruin it as they aren't in the show. Pointless hate is pointless.
π: 0 β©: 1
OC is an 'Original Character,' not a fan character like I already stated. So, an OC can't ruin a fandom, fan characters can and do. Please, learn how to comprehend something before stating something pointless on a four month old comment.
π: 0 β©: 1
Fan characters can't either as they are not in it. The only thing that ruins a fandom is fanbrats who baw over something like a FC/OC.

I have a bipolar, schizophrenic character that is my ponysona

Well, (as an Autistic (I HATE it when people say we "suffer" from autism)) my main issues with this are how these issues are portrayed.
For example; whilst gay characters are starting to get fleshed out, disabled characters are still more or less all about being disabled. That's especially true for mentally disabled characters. Can you think of any autistic characters who are NOT all about being autistic? I certainly can't think of any. There's some speculation that Sherlock Holmes from BBC's Sherlock is autistic, but it's never confirmed. Basically, only ambiguously autistic characters get any form of agency while those confirmed to have autism never get to be the ones to go on epic adventures and save the day, instead, they're condemned to being walking talking (I use the latter term lightly) emotionless stereotypes.
Unfortunately, much of this has bled into fandom. Many people who wright these issues don't do the reserch on how these issues affect real people, and inevitably get it wrong in ways that are (quite frankly) offensive to many of those people, including me.

I had seen people say L from Death Note is Autistic.

I've heard so myself. But since I've never seen Death Note, I don't know if it's the people who write it saying it, or just fan speculation.

The complaint isn't about the character having the mental illness themselves. It's how the creator executes this issue.
π: 0 β©: 0
Very true. =/ There's nothing wrong with making a character mentally ill, physically ill, or whatever, just as long as you're not doing it to be "cool" and really have no idea how to write about it.
π: 0 β©: 0
I don't really mind when people understand the disorder or problem and have used it realistically, the thing that really gets me is when people are like "Lawl shez bipolar an wuz raped an cuts all da time" and uses it as like an accessory or to make their character "cool" when they have no understanding of these problems and the effects on the character's life.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah. that is the point of this or "he has multiple personalites because sometimes he is sweet and loving and then goes psycho and on a killing rampage, but then may turn all emo"

A-men. Reminds me of what I always say when someone says I have messed up characters. "They're not messed up, they're just diagnosed properly."

I don't have a problem with it as long as you understan the disorder when you use it

I hate it when everyone thinks that if you make a character with a disorder it AUTOMATICALY makes them sues. >.>

I have several characters with various disorders, but I actually research them first, and pour my heart and soul into making each of them a believable, balanced, special individual.
I myself did not live a "normal" life per se, and I'm not going to go into the details. Thing is, again, not everyone is dead average with a perfect life and clean mental record.
π: 0 β©: 1
ah good. sometimes I see people who's OC's double as a fursona with things like "is proud to be a sociopathic murderer"
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, those are gross. If someone's going to play a sociopathic murderer, they should at least portray them as a villain and use them as such, or if not, use them to illustrate what a crapsack world the setting they are using them in is. :\

Is it okay to give your characters 'issues' or problems though? I have a character that might qualify for having a mental disorder. But I don't even know which one! She just kinda happened, didn't plan for her to have one at all. 
I don't claim she has one either. She's just... I dunno what she is. She does have trouble getting close to others, so it's not like it's all good for her. Heck her rude behaviour really can irk others. She's got issues, no better way to put. Odd because I usually don't like negative characters like her... =/
Since creating her, she has become a personification of my depression though. Because I'm now going thru similar issues as her. *shrugs* Half the time I want to shake the snout out of her! But other times I do feel better drawing her or otherwise tormenting her. Can't help but feel sorry for her. I guess she helps me to let out some of my negative emotions.
The one thing I do like about her is that I plan/planned for her to over-come her issues. It will be hard for her, but it will happen. I guess I gave her the right name when I named her Hope. I have the same hope to overcome my depression.
Sorry I'm rambling. I do find it annoying that kids do this. At least read about the disorder or ask someone who has it what it's like! I bet people don't even know this about depression: you can get VERY irritable and can be emotionally abusive to those around you to the point that you drive them away. It takes a very strong person to handle being around us, and most just can't do that. People often don't even realize that about depression. They think it's just sadness and moping around and crying all the time. They don't even know that there are different types! (I have treatment-resistant depression with atypical features.)
The ONLY silver lining I find in them making these characters is that maybe it will teach them tolerance for others who are different or have disabilities. Though in my experience it rarely works that way. 
Thank you for making this stamp.

Very well said. I agree strongly with your point about people who immediately jump to the conclusion that depression equals crying constantly and sulking. My depression causes me to feel an emotional numbness most of the time, so I feel an impending doom but I rarely ever cry.
The one that irks me more is when people think Bipolar disorder is just being really, really moody. It's categorised as a period of mania and then crashing into a period of depression... and these periods can last for months, not seconds.
Sorry XD I just wanted to say, you've made a very good point, so I salute you. *salutes*

I think that it's wonderful to have those kinds of characters, personally. While I don't have any characters who fall under the categories you've described, I have, have had, and am currently creating characters with all sorts of different traits and backgrounds- I have characters who were adopted, homeless, given little attention from their parents, have unique deformities, are mentally challenged, etc.- and writing about them has really helped me open my eyes as to how people like them see the world and even inspired me to reach out to those people and do something to help ease their situation with a better understanding as to what they see and how they feel. And while I also have trouble understanding what it is about these traits that some people find "hip" or "cool", it shows that they at least acknowledge and have some feeling towards these people, and having the door even partially open to their world is better than having it shut entirely. I create the characters I do so that I may have a better understanding of the world and how other people live, as that is what makes creating OCs so worth while for those who are serious about it. As Katherine Mansfield put it best, "Would you not like to try all sorts of lives β one is so very smallβ but that is the satisfaction of writing β one can impersonate so many people."
I would have happily faved this stamp, if only I knew you were being serious.

a lot of kids here seem to have the edgy drug addict rapist psycho type characters. or pedophiles..and such.
π: 0 β©: 1
...Yes, I believe you've already made that point. But what I'm getting is that there's nothing wrong with having those types of characters. It's certainly not something that should be considered a "fad", but I don't see what's so offensive about being curious about another person's life; there are just so many different kinds of lives out there that one can live, and exploring these lives through the art of writing is an excellent way to develop a sense of awareness and a better understanding of the diverse world we live in. People can give their characters any life they want and still love them. It's important to have an open mind when it comes to these types of things.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeh. but sometimes these people adopt those characters as a stand in. I don't know, maybe it is good personal growth for a 15 year old to role play a character that is a drug addicted child raper.
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh wait a minute, I forgot who I was talking to. No wonder the text is so contradicting, and no wonder your words suggest only furries do it. I forgot, you hate animals and everything having to do with them.
...Just for the record though, NONE of my characters actually have a disorder except for one of my other characters who happens to be a dwarf. None of my characters have anything mentioned in the stamp. Personally, I don't get the appeal of all that.

did I say "I hate all of MugoUrth's characters"
π: 0 β©: 1
Uh, no. I was mostly just teasing you for a past comment I made. I didn't mean for that to be taken seriously.
π: 0 β©: 0
No offense, but the description contradicts the stamp. The stamp says there's nothing wrong with it, but the description says that you're hard-pressed against it. That, or I'm just reading it wrong.
Also, just recently I was arguing with my dad about having a character that's both Homosexual and a Giant Rat. I tell him he's thinking about it way to much, as I meant no harm by the fact that he's a giant rat. Also, the reason he's gay isn't because I think it's cool or creative, but because I wanted to portray Gay People in a good light.
I know what you're thinking. "Wait, what? You're trying to pass off a giant rat that's gay as good light." The problem being is that most people dislike rats. I, personally, like rats a lot. And I don't think of the character as a gross, ugly character. I think of his as a somewhat cuddly character. And besides that, rats can be cool in their own right, especially in a made up world.
But looks aren't the main thing. It's the mind that counts. The giant rat has one nasty habit, and that's the fact he's constantly laughing all the time. Other than that, he's perfectly normal, AND has a heart of gold deep down. There's a point in his life where he was asked by his first boyfriend to rob a bank, and the character repeatedly refuses even after several attempts from his friend to force him. His friend even attacks him, and he STILL won't rob the bank.
There's also a point in his life where he saves children from a burning building alongside his current boyfriend.
Now, this may sound "Gary-Stu"ish, but I don't mean to make him seem perfect. That laughing habit of his still gets on everyone's nerves, and he's also quite clumsy and somewhat thick-headed. I just wanted to show that gay people can be just as kind and goodhearted as normal people: even if they're giant rats in a fictional universe.
(Note: His current boyfriend is NOT a giant rat, BTW.)

It's one of those snarky, satire ones. you can find stamps like this that are serious.
how is making a character homosexual "creative"? Gay characters are a dime a dozen now. 70% of all sparkledogs are bisexual. so you aren't trailblazing.
