>How many times do people have to tell you, Anon? Self-insert characters are bland by design. The more character you give them the less of the audience are able to relate.
This is precisely what's so off-putting and shitty about it. Even some weird guy specifically inserting himself (like that Russian professor who draws himself and Maid Marian) is preferable to a bland template designed to "be" as many other anons as possible.
>well, it's a self-insert fantasy for me... AND for all of you! Now we can all love this fantasy woman together!
It's just sketchy and creepy to encourage as many other guys, regardless of race, age, and so on, to self-insert in a romantic fantasy alongside you. There's a latent homoerotic energy to it all. It's like some kind of mutual masturbation session where a bunch of blokes are all in one room jacking off to a porno together- essentially feeding off of each other's sexual energy- but insisting that there's nothing gay about it.
