      When they try to make me sympathize with them

      Spooked af, Woman moment.

      When they’re significantly more attractive than their creator

      That too, it's why they gotta be a shapeshifter and show their ugly satirized side
      It won't hide the truth, but it will allow me to play these whiny homosexuals in the audience who try to provoke me from jerking all over their screen

        I don't understand why did you quote me?
        A self insert is fine if their role is minimal they can even have some simple interaction with the main characters and that wouldn't be too much

      Sorta depends. Usually comes when they lack any sense of self awareness.
      There's 2 kinds of good self-insert generally, ones where you can't even tell, and ones where it's an integral part of the narrative. The way the first ones go to shit is when it becomes obvious that's what it is.

      Male self-inserts are in-universe losers and get abused left and right.
      Women self-inserts are sassy girlbosses who don’t even break a finger nail.

      Both of these are annoying though, because the males are typically sucking their own dick and throwing a pity party about how pathetic they are.

        >Male self-inserts are in-universe losers and get abused left and right
        That doesn't make them non-cringe. Remember how Dipper was depicted as being abused because he was being fricked over by his sister. But he was the bigger man because he'd forgive her, thus setting himself up for more abuse.
        Contrast with Huey Freeman who was far from a miserable creature manipulating you into being sympathetic. Aaron had him stand on a soapbox, had him devolve into authoritarianism, alluded to paranoia induced hallucinations, and even didn't live up to his beliefs because he was annoyed with his brother.

      he did a good job for basically all of regular show, and then failed with close enough because i think by having him actually be a human a lot of the antics become a lot more obvious as self inserty.

      Nah he fricking dropped the ball there and he was so insincere about it that it genuinely makes me feel dread to imagine what kinds of changes he had to endure that made him this pathetic
      Also the fricking 80s references and "so retro" type callbacks in regular show are corny as shit, frick millennials and frick gen x for shilling that shit, no wonder the elders and kids are brain fried morons, they lack guidance because of their superficial insecurities from new things

      For all people's griping about Inside Job, she gets regularly shit on by her friends and coworkers.

      This might be the exception but its inside out so... It hurts to look at.

      It’s almost like self inserts are good when they’re good characters

      Ah now this is the right opinion

        Anon, 40 year olds arent talking about your zoomer shit because they dont give a shit about it. It has nothing to do with insecurity. If I was making a show, I wouldnt include a lot of zoomer shit either.

        The fact that the French took a beloved legend from another c**t, and bastardized it is just the same as Disney taking legends and making it American.

        fair, but if Bunghole had continued the show Connor wouldve become unbearable.

        Connor is actually his least cringe self-insert. Don't forget the about the his gay blue atheist dinosaur OC.

        I knew about his previous work so when the whole debacle came out I wasnt as surprised as I thought I would be considering how much of an "Oh my science" guy he was

          >he doesnt know
          A sad tale. Lord Bung, creator of the show had a back injury that delayed a big episode. Then he managed to get back on track, but then he started dating Orion, some troony. Then he got involved in some bs youtube shit that Orion dragged him into and falsely accused some big youtuber of rape. At some point he transitioned. Fast forward to around a month ago, and people were eagerly awaiting Episode 8 after a wait of four years. Bung released a four minute teaser onto his patreon. It turned out to be four minutes of rapey necro softcore porn. Then he deleted his youtube channel, patreon, everything, wiped himself off the internet. It turned out that he had been using all the patreon money for weed and had done nothing else for those four years. The script for ep 8 was leaked at some point and it has Orions fingerprints all over it, including the mc Connor (a self insert for Bung) breaking up with his girlfriend and getting into relationship with Orions self-insert. The series is utterly dead and Bungholes lost all his internet credibility, even voice actors from previous episodes were publicly criticizing him
