>>8006063>What they're really saying is only what THEY want to happen to the character is rightThe only people who should have that say so are
a) the person who made/marketed a character for whatever world THEY created. (it's literally the story of your making, do what you want with it)
b) the company who owns the character, who then take cues from the actual customers who are currently buying their products. (customers responding positively to a Dinobot combiner by purchasing it? Run with it in all the various media. Customers demanding masculine fem-blocks, but didn't bother buying them from the store? Scrap it outright, kill the character as quick as possible in all the various medias, make it an awkward footnote in out ever evolving story.)
This shit isn't hard to figure out, but companies think the twitteratti speak on behalf of all customers for some baffling reason.
