I mean, in a way, I kind of agree with her. Maybe not to the same hateful extent, but this site seems to hate originality and prefers to have everything be recolors because "they look better," something that really irritates me because of how stupid it sounds.

I will say this though, I've seen userpages that have slideshows of some characters they made, and it literally looks like rainbow Weegee if you click through fast enough. No, thats not the problem. This person is just an asshole and has always been an asshole. She's not a "member" because she contributes nothing to Weegeepedia. She's only here because Alpha and Lrigee worship her for some reason. I don't know where you got this whole "PURGE DA RECOLURS" mindset. Just take a quick scroll through the non-recolor section. 90% of them are just stolen from other people and the remaining 10% are atrocious MS paint doodles. I got the non-recolor mindset from hanging around with the right people.

Nara does contribute some, maybe not much now, but she has before and she's trying to send a message that no one is getting.

I'm not saying to purge the recolors. I'm saying we have too many of them. We have at least double the recolors that we do non-recolors + semi-recolors. I don't know where you think I got the idea of purging.

A quick scroll through the recolors show that 100% of them are stolen, and a ton of them are atrocious (or just bad) recolors anyway. So, basically, your saying recolors are bad because they're "unoriginal"? Who cares? The picture is not what makes the article. A Weegee can be a recolor and still have an interesting and original backstory and powers. If you don't like a recolor, don't look at it. Change the page. Nobody is forcing you to look at the recolors. And nobody is forcing you to look at the non-recolors, yet you still complained about them anyway. And yes, while you do bring up a good point with the pictures, it still doesn't mean that the picture's unoriginality is COMPLETELY void if the article has Grade A writing.
