>>110228131It's even older. Don't you dumb fuckers realize this? People have self-inserted into art since the dawn of art. Think of the Divine Comedy. Dante, the author, is LITERALLY a character in the Commedia. He's the main character! It's the ultimate self-insert fiction.
But we forgive that because the Commedia is very, very good. That's the entire thing. The rules of storytelling, which forbid things like self-inserts, can be broken by geniuses and high-level artists. But is Dana a genius? Is she an incredible, transcendent artist? Is Owl House going to be on the level of the Divine Comedy?
I think you already know the answer to that.
