You'll probably get ranted at if you don't draw her black, since OMG JK ROWLING CONFIRMED IT GUIZ IF SHES WHITE YOURE RACIST
yet in the actual books, she's described as being white...
The books describe as rather ugly and stereotypical British appearance to boot with messy hair and buck teeth that doesn't get fixed until later books. How do you even get black from that is anyone's guess

At least there is one comment on this one showed some sanity https://milkgrrl.tumblr.com/post/163099075521/old-sailor-moon-art. Is this one :late:? I remember seeing a similar one but I'm not sure if it's the same one

The creator, the fans, the freaking critics! Almost no one involved with Yandere Simulator is sane!

Not sure if she fully counts but she still looks awful
 
Most of the BNFs (Rumminov, Averyniceprince, YummyTomatoes, HamletMachine, Happyds) had proportionate, comic-book-like styles. This encouraged most of their underlings to take up proper anatomy and draw people more realistically. By the time the fandom fizzled out, you had a fair number of kids (their "diverse" headcanons aside) drawing in a somewhat reasonable, comic-book style.
Don't forget Xamag. When she actually seriously drew, like that Violate Times and Kill the Lights lyricstuck, and animated like in that fanimation of Gamzee opening that memo from Karkat, she got younger artists to step up their game, since she was around only 14-16, when she made those.

On today's episode of "Random kids on tumblr think they're better at character design that professionals that went to art school and have their own t.v. shows": O.K. K.O.!!
"all body types are beautiful except the ones prettier than mine UwU"

I havent seen the show yet but isnt a show about people kicking ass? Of course she'd look like that, she probably did tons of ass kicking to keep up that physique. It wouldnt make sense for her to look chunky.

That is something that will always bother me about making characters fat because the artist wants to be represented. Even if that character ate like a hippo the obscene amount of physical activity would still keep her built like a damn truck, just slightly chubbier truck.

I've said it before and I'll say it again they're not drawing these characters fat because they want to be represented, these artists do it because fat is their fetish.

The art style of the Jem comic honestly doesn't bother me since some of it uses concepts the creator of the original show wanted to put in (Jetta being black and Techrat being androgynous based off Boy George.) Even Stormer's design, which gained quite some controversy, isn't too bad in my eyes. Not to mention Sophie Campbell is genuinely good and can pull off diverse designs very well.

That said Meredith was just downright awful. It had less to do with the designs and more of how sloppy and lazy her art was. Thank God they replaced her for the last arc and got someone good.
 
I'm saddened how a more amateur-ish and lazy artstyle is becoming the ideal. Because fuck effort, fuck trying, and especially fuck the designers who had the nerve to introduce subtle facial features into D.va's design, the vile pigs. Shame on them.

First two are male characters, last one is female

On one hand they're 15 and have an okay concept of colour and style for someone their age. On the other they're a little shit who screeches that they're a minor and a pwecious babbu whenever anybody dares to criticize them.

Ron's passable, but I don't remember the part of HP where Harry had hydrocephaly.
On that topic, I recently found this on twitter

Yeah, the artist said she's Hermoine. I find the design cute as a standalone character, but there's no need to label it as a pre-existing white character... It's honestly making me question my memory if Hermoine was even white in the books to begin with.

Besides, when the movies were being cast, didn't Rowling have a pretty big say in what actors were chosen? If Hermione was meant to be black in the books, the movie casting would have reflected that. Trying to claim that the character was always meant to be portrayed as black just doesn't make sense.
