Why do so many artists especially female ones draw themselves with some stupid **** like the bunny ears we see right here? Soule has a retarded eye, and that other girl whose name I do not know has a paper hat? Why?

For some (definitely not all) artists, it's to express sexual fantasies or may have something to do with escaping from reality. For example, if an artist enjoys pet play as a cat, she obviously can't walk around 24/7 with cat ears on. However, she can add cat ears to her comic character instead. It's not necessarily to make herself "stand out". She just personally likes seeing herself that way and and uses art to express that side of her. Once again, this applies to some artists, not all.
Soule's (the character) eye is actually part of the storyline, it's supposed to be their. Her explanation is that the character only looks like her, it's not an author avatar. That's why she's fine doing **** with her.
Its basically a cheap way to give 'character' without actually putting any thought or effort into it.
Also it attempts to make the design "unique" and cute without actually having to design a unique character... Its all an illusion.

I dunno soule's eye is at least somewhat creative. Doesn't mean its good but at least it's something i haven't seen before. The entire animal ears thing on the other hand has been beaten to death often enough to supply the rest of humanity with ears for their ****** webcomics.
to be fair i liked this strip though

oh boy you haven't been around a lot have you, just look up the term chuunibyou and you learn why soules characters eye is stupid, though it more or less not given to the character by there choice they still have it
Typically for a 'pop' in character design.
If you make all your characters look the same it apparently turns people away from wanting to view your content.
Unique features on a character both give it more depth, at times, but also give it an easily recognizable feature so someone can see said character and go "Oh thats- bla bla bla"

and kasper has his tie, and gee has his hat covering his eyes, and captain wow has a sock on his hand, and i forgot his fj name but theres a guy that draws himself as an astronaut/robot ect ect
idk uniqueness i guess
a majority of the OC artist on this site have some sort of detail they add to themselves so they arent average.
you can draw a million average characters, might as well add something strange or different
