Tomatomagica, Gelasticat, Sukebanana.... one more and we'd have the four horsemen of the art apocalypse.
 
Switching up format a bit.


What I can't wrap my head around is why these artists even pretend to like these characters/series when they obviously despise them? They heavily alter them in order for them to be palatable to their tastes, in most cases disfiguring the characters to the point they are unrecognizable.

Well, no, from what I can gather they do actually like those series. It's just that very often they feel the need to alter the characters in a fanfiction-esque way, usually through racebending, fattening, or otherwise, all while citing "creative liberty" and "feeling uneasy about the character's design" as their reasons for doing so. They like the characters, just feel the design could be "improved" by their standards.
Put bluntly, it's just because of :autism:.

Urghhh... Gelasticat's art makes me puke a little in my mouth every time I see it cross by my path.

"Jade is a geeky preteen girl... hmm. I know! I'm gonna draw her like a 40-year-old, black WWE fighter."

It's their way of justifying their interest in something that isn't "progressive" enough. They'd rather try to cling to what they percieve as the moral high ground than respect the artistic intentions of the things they like.

It takes strength of character to admit you like something while also being fully cognizant of its flaws, so most "fandomites" prefer to find ways to ignore or change what they don't like. Nevermind that creating your own IP with the representation you desire would be more intuitive and productive. Although that would require actual effort and creativity, and we can't have that.

I think they also have just forgotten how to just like things without making some kind of performance out of it.
 
Sometimes I wondered why can't these artists just make their own comics or whatever instead of turning several characters from their own series into something they're not(Ex: Turning a thin anime character into a fat character).

They all look like they could be OCs and not the existing characters from video games and etc. So why not just make up your own original stuff instead?

Because OCs just don't bring reblogs. Who is going to care about another ambiguous brown, LGTB, mentaly/psychicaly disabled, non binary character when the are all scattered over Tumblr? With these "racebends" you can say that you want to make the show more "progressive" and SJWs will love that.

Pretty much this. It's been talked about in this thread every hundred or so pages, but it's all true. The mental gymnastics to actually create something new and original is something these SJWy tumblrinas can't wrap their peanut-sized brains around. So they latch onto and warp these established properties beyond all recognition, slap a name on it, and hope people will eat that horse shit up.

Just look at the state of Marvel Comics these days, if you want an example of this sort of thing done by a professional company.
