Usually the SJW headcanons seem to lean on "because they OUGHT to be."

I once made a post after seeing so many inaccurate or insultingly simplifying autistic headcanons , about checking the symptom lists of the disorder. I had someone get mad at me like "you realize many of these people making these are autistic right?" And getting all mad about how I'm trying to "take representation away from us". Just because I suggested research.

Having a disorder doesn't mean you know or understand everything about what it is. Yes, you know what you feel. But that's only part of the equation. When I was very young I once used Asperger syndrome as an excuse to justify my character's quirk of using Japanese honorifics (I was a teenage weeb once lol). It was embarrassing an awful but it was because I didn't know everything about my disorder.

Like I understand making headcanons that match your experience, but you can't force everyone to accept them. and people and to learn that someone not agreeing with their headcanon does not mean that the person hates whatever group you're headcanoning the character as.

If people just had their representation headcanons I wouldn't give a damn. It's when they're forceful that it bothers me.

Yeah, absolutely. Those general one-sentence-headcanon posts tend to annoy me when people spam the tags with them but they are actually pretty easy to ignore - at least they don't take up that much space. But when they start trying to harrass people into agreeing with/adopting their headcanons, it gets realy aggravating.

Yeah. It's sad because headcanons used to be a fun thing. But they've turned it into another reason to bully people.

I'll probably get heat for this, but, it's kind of entitled to think everyone should accept your headcanon.

I don't normally like you, but I totally agree.
