I've seen posts where every single character in a fandom is assigned a non-straight non-cis identity seemingly with no correlation to their actual personality traits or presentation, like some kind of Tumblr Mad Libs. Which... look, I get that non-straight non-white non-cis people have been historically underrepresented in fiction, and it's not a terrible thing to tip the balance back a little. But when your idea of correcting that is 'Character R is a dmab transgender aromantic pansexual who uses xe/xir pronouns; Character W is an intersexed genderqueer demiromantic polysexual polyamorous transboi who packs and binds' and so on over the course of a dozen characters, with no explanation of why you'd see any or all of them that way or why so many people of a very small minority would have come together to solve mysteries/fight monsters/play in a band by pure coincidence... Well, it's kind of hard to take seriously, and I can't help but feel it does their cause no good at all.
