Is it impossible to write Peggy OOC?

It's not about fanfic.

It's about the fact that when I've expressed discomfort with the idea of Sharon/Steve being canon, I've repeatedly had people tell me that Peggy would approve. And we don't know either way.

As long as you're arguing that we don't know either way, and not that it's basically definitely incest (but it's okay if that's what you're into) (but it's definitely basically incest and squicky) (but some people like squick!)

It comes across as incest by proxy to me (NOT actual incest obviously) which is why it makes me uncomfortable, but I in no way think that everyone has to feel that way. Obviously a lot of people have no issue with it and that's a 100% legitimate opinion.

The thing is, Peggy MIGHT disapprove for similar reasons to me (she might not be okay with Steve dating one of her relatives). Or she might be 100% happy for them. We don't know.

I just get tired of being told that OF COURSE she'd be fine with it. We don't know either way.

Sure, it's possible to write Peggy in a way that's inconsistent with how Peggy was written by ____ for _____. Whether that's a good thing, a bad thing, or just a thing depends entirely on perspective since no one in the MCU is writing her exactly the same way as, say Lee and Kirby. The industry, for better or for worse, is built on periodic reinterpretations of characters.

Well, yes. But if you are writing an MCU fic and the MCU version of Peggy, then there are things that are in character and things that are out of character. There is certainly a wide range, but there are outer limits.

Sure, writing her as fighting in a playboy bunny suit would be a major breach, but we're not really talking about that, are we.

But that's a matter of bad taste, not a violation of some nonexistent objective standard of what a Peggy Carter is.
