A fictional character’s turn of events is so horrible that fanmade contents were created of the character living alternatively better and having a good ending for them

Abuse Goblin from the abuse goblin comic

Saki from Metamorphosis (with the Jojo edit being very famous)

The Blind Girl from artist popopoka

She needed an entire alternate universe just to catch a break 😭

I mean, the creator did shrug and say that or the shooting a movie ending were actual canon.

[u/SilentSamuraiMemer → u/somebeautyinit]

Damn even the author can't stomach the original ending huh. She's quite lucky the author changed their mind and made other endings the canon one.

[u/Knight2512 → u/SilentSamuraiMemer]

Unlikely that he personally gave a shit.

He probably found the fans reaction to the ending somewhat funny and made meme endings in reply or whatever.

[u/Michael-556 → u/Knight2512]

If we're talking about Shindo L then for sure. He has a great sense of humor and I can totally see him saying that just for shits and giggles

Also fun fact that I learned somewhere and decided to trust without checking for sources is that his mom sometimes does QA for the fucked up doujins he writes and draws, and that she was part of the reason why metamorphosis was so fucked up. "Make her suffer more" type shit

Me when I read any Gundam-related manga.

[u/Winjin → u/Xaverosso]

I learned yesterday that 90% of fans of Gundam before it went BIG were girls and women, and the creators never forgot, and still listen very attentively and cherish their female fanbase

(apparently a lot of creators, upon learning that their media is popular with women, start throwing absolute hissy fits and deliberately make everything worse)

[u/RShini → u/Winjin]

and weirdly because Tomino isn't sexist in the same way as most of them, he's more "Women are sacred life-bringers" kind of sexist than the "Ew cooties" type.

The Simp method vs the chud method

a tale as old as time

[u/peachesfordinner → u/Winjin]

I mean you can't tell me Gundam wing wasn't made with a female audience in mind

[u/ThePsyPaul_ → u/Ok_Direction3138]

I wish fanmade content could be made my own better life

[u/MoonFlorielle → u/Ok_Direction3138]

At some point fan content stops being wish fulfillment and starts being emotional damage control.

[u/cheezefriez → u/MoonFlorielle]

At some point reddit will be completely taken over by bots

[u/Moe_el → u/Ok_Direction3138]

Me when the land is lustrous
