But my problem with this - and arguments like this in general - is that, one, what constitutes "frequent and self-conscious" is very much in the eye of the beholder. and, two, it's both an enormous assumption and an enormous generalization.

I agree that it does happen sometimes. Absolutely. I just get really really edgy about how far you can say that it goes.

AYRT

It doesn't just happen "sometimes." It's epidemic, and still spreading.

I actually like and subscribe to many "diverse" headcanons, and it's extremely obvious, as someone who holds these kinds of headcanons out of love for the canon or character, when someone only holds/evangelizes them out of guilt. Pretending that this problem exists infrequently or not at all (or that it isn't a symptom of a larger problem in fandom right now) is either very naive or very disingenuous.

I'm definitely not saying that it never happens.

But I definitely do think that it is the kind of thing that people are generally extremely prone to overstating. I think it's a kind of behavior it's really easy to misread and an assumption it's really easy to make.

I used to think that way. Then I started paying closer attention and realized that I'd been giving people the benefit of the doubt when in actuality they were doing and saying exactly what my gut told me they were. It was a lot more comfortable thinking that the critics were just misreading things (either accidentally or intentionally), but unfortunately I really don't believe that the complaints about performative behaviors in fandom are overstated. If such criticisms are overexposed, it's only in wanky/bigoted circles, which really only detracts from the credibility of people who make similar criticisms in good faith.
