I disagree with your statements, and for numerous reasons.

First and foremost, people should know by now ''recoloring is and should be frowned upon. ''

People say recolors are "templates" so they get work on their character's designs from there. That's fine, but one can only expect disdain from others by publishing these "templates" publically. Recoloring is in no way decent and this practice should be discouraged entirely.

Really, how similarily the character is supposed to look like the canon characters is irrelavant because people do not necessarily need to resort to recoloring to draw them, like  this. A description is still better than a bad picture, nonetheless.

The mentality of people getting away with stealing artwork just by acknowledging their mistakes is flawed. You can admit you have a recolor, but that's not really necessary as people can usually find that out in less than three seconds. People generally know when someone is recoloring, people don't need a label to identify them. Whether you claim for the artwork to be yours or not, that's not relevant because, in the end, you still haven't gotten permission from the original artist and consequently is stealing their artwork. Get what I mean?
