You guys ever think this whole "reimagine everybody sexless/black/tranny special gender uwu" slew of fanart will be just a phase, and in five years or so these same artists will be embarrassed by this as currently they are of their emo/MySpace/2006 phase.
the sad thing is, most of these people are already like 20-27 year old adults

at least the people who drew shitty animu sonic OCs back in the day were just teenagers doing it for fun and not for "social justice"
 
^I kinda wish we went back to drawing in fandom for fun though. Now I'm always wondering when I see a piece of fanart with a slash ship or a character with a sudden tan and thinking "ok is this for fun or this there some hidden meaning beneath it?".

(i mean you can guess the more political ones with how obvious they are- character drawn as fat/black when they're actually thin/white, etc)

These kids like to think they're Orwell, in trying to add politics to everything they do, but they're no Orwell.

You can usually tell the intent by looking at their blog and seeing what their personality and attitude is. If they're super into social justice and representation insist their headcanon is truth then it wasn't just for fun.
 
This picture isn't too bad, but it suffers from that accursed tumblr nose

I respect people who draw weird art for some fucked-up fetish they have and don't have some absurd political overlay about it more than this gross tumblr shit that is apparently just ugly for the sake of ugliness. The "social justice" aspect does nothing except send the strange, perverse message that "underrepresented minorities" are foul, ugly creatures of some sort who all look like they have skin diseases and morbid obesity.
 

The girl is kinda cute, but please leave gender politics away from those cute bears. It's bad enough there are people who think the show should focus more on them being marginalized and persecuted more or that it sucks that they're voiced by white guys.

The message in that girl's picture also makes it look like a Fat Acceptance picture.
