'Taking offence' is Tumblr's default setting though, isn't it?

I sympathise. There's something very unhealthy about this trend of bending all characters to fit your own personality traits*. Every fic is starting to smack of reverse Mary Sueism. No longer are we exploring the characters' world, instead we're exploring the author's world and desires through the character and fandom of their choice.

Maybe that's the way it has always been, although to me it seems like a growing problem.

As for labelling a character autistic, or something serious like psychopathic or sociopathic - I see all three bandied around the Sherlock fandom with no understanding whatsoever. People will happily slap these labels on as if it were a quirky fun aspect of a character. The lack of research and understanding of the reality behind these subjects seems somewhat tasteless.


*I don't mean sexuality. Obviously a large portion of fic is exploring kinks, sexuality and gender. To me it's separate because you write a character as any sexuality and have them still be the same character.

Oh yeah...reverse Mary Sue...kinda fits.

I just hate it because you can't argue with these people because they will always take a position of self righteous anger and twist you as some kind of horrible person.

It's exhausting. Tumblr SJW is like a little brat that is convinced it can do whatever it wants.
