Fanfics/fan art grumpiness

'Aluminum to me, aluminium to some. You can shine like silver all you want but you're just aluminum.' Barenaked Ladies, Aluminum
Just a thought that came to me again when I was watchign Zootopia once more, and its not a new one for me. Just a voice in me that I'm gonna let out and free from my mind.
People that do fanart/fan fics of characters they love. Or beloved characters from movies/cartoons/etc. If they enjoy the characters and love them so much to do art/stories of them, why is it that so often they ruin the actual character? Turning some innocent, sweet, happy, cheerful character into a sex-crazed kinky slut, for example. You loved the character as it is, then you turned it into something entirely different.
The notable characters are, of course, Judy Hopps, Toothless, Nala, and Po the panda.
And while you only see the sweet side of each character in a children's movie (except the villains,) it just rubs me the wrong way when I see these same characters ruined by repeated fan arts that put them in a different light, and its that itch in the back of my mind saying 'its not even the same character any more when you show them doing this and that...' When you've altered the character so much, why not make a new one? If youre going to represent a character, show them true to themselves, not true to what you wish they were. If you want to see a bunny/dragon/lioness/panda to be doing the things you fantasize about, its truly not that difficult to make a new, fresh character of your own that fits the bill!
Seriously, people, character creation isnt that difficult!
The itch was barely scratched when, a good number of year ago, I created a character iun a chatroom named 'toothless' and the profile simply read 'Im only taking this name so that others dont take it and tarnish the good name of Toothless.' Yes, I was, am, that petty. Not that it stops people from creating other variations on the name. Just made ME feel a little better.
Thats all I have to say. Carry on.
