First of all, the point of this thread was to address issues in this fandom, within OCs, that annoyed you, whether its something tripe and overdone or whether it’s something prejudiced.

The point was not to use this opportunity to throw shade at other people’s OCs, especially when the “shade” is specific to the point where it’s obvious what OC has been addressed. Furthermore, if you had any further problems, why was it necessary to obviously vague post about it? There is nothing wrong with directing complaints on an OC’s page, on Message Walls, or even through deviantArt notes or tumblr asks.

Both of you have addressed valid points. There’s parts from each side that I agree with, and also parts from both sides that I don’t agree with. But I have reached a general conclusion from reading over this thread.

Listen, I’m up for criticism about other people’s OCs, granted if they’re done properly. Shading them, side-eyeing them and not addressing the issue first-hand is not how you fix that problem. Also: Mary-Sue is an outdated term best left to the ‘00s, and go educate yourself because this topic is too lengthy for a pitiful forum thread.

However, Frosty has responded decently. She’s addressed so many of your criticisms and complaints directly. Although there were some off-hand comments, at least she wasn’t condescending comments about how much you want to gag over an off-hand comment or murder someone in spite. Redwolf-regan, you’ve dehumanised Frosty with phrases like “frothing at the mouth”, you’ve called her a “cunt”, and you’ve policed her tone and her writing style rather than focusing on her points she’s made. Please don’t profile other people like so.

Further complaints? Address them on my Message Wall. Upfront and honest, please.
