>>92762339I think these kinds of self inserts, where clearly it's a joke on you being the creator of these characters and not "I'm putting myself in this show so I can play out a fantasy of dating a prepubescent child" is widely different.
I mean there's been some good old looney tunes shorts that base around the idea of fourth wall breaking with who's creating them and they're pretty neat
>>92762430Quit backpedaling, your original post was defending the writer's obviously pedophilic crush on an underaged fictional character, not some character that's really thousands of years old and has the potential to look like something other than a child. There's good ways to explore that idea (For example, the vampire child in Interview with The Vampire) and bad ways (writing a self insert to date the underaged in body, mind and soul character)
>>92762544I liked this character but i hope they don't put her into too many more episodes or the movie because the joke is already getting really old.
I also don't consider her 100% self-insert since she's kinda a joke on any fan who goes over the top to the point of wanting to BE the character they like, which in-universe would come off pretty much as creepy as starfan13
I don't think someone voicing a character is enough to call them an insert without a little extra evidence (like OP's example)
>>92763308The problem with nuPPG is that they aren't trying to make a good show. They're trying to make a marketable show, and if they can remove 100% chance of the show being labeled as "problematic" by what's likely their real targeted market (i.e. fans who would've bought merch if the show didn't suck balls, as seen by the fact that merch was previewed before the new show aired and given more attention than the show itsself) then they had a nice safe cashcow.
But i wonder how well it's actually doing for them? I have literally not seen a single person say anything good about the show but what about kids?
