Saying things like:
That's a cute Oc! she looks like XXXX character from XXXX

or

Awesome art!! It looks/remind me a lot from a friend's OC! :)

Are NOT A COMPLIMENT.

in fact, it makes you feel guilty that you weren't creative enough at making an ORIGINAL CHARACTER and then you're randomly apologizing to artist that you dont even were aware that they exist or afraid of drawing that oc because you're afraid to be called tracer/copier of ideas.
And want to scream like this.

Yes, there HAVE been cases of idea/Oc's stealer but those ones are actually quite obviously to recognise.
Specialy because they copied a character more than twice and also the "style" or the color scheme is Exactly the Same.
