Re: What fandom trends do you dislike?

[(Anonymous)]

Aggressive head!canons of characters that are drenched in social justice superiority that get tagged around with "you're a bad person if you don't acknowledge Character X is autistic, genderqueer, trans, and asexual" etc. Usually they are based off of minimal evidence, and just are so smug.

I don't care how people interpret characters. Really. I interpret pretty much everyone as gay or bi so I can't judge. In my opinion, if it's something that's capable of reading between the lines for, then it's valid (and hey, even if you want to change canon to support it, fandom is supposed to be about having fun and enjoying the media, so why not). But what's with all the viciousness in trying to force others to support your headcanon? Or the sort of passive-aggressive guilting to get other people to do it? ("Character X is genderqueer JUST LIKE ME and helped me get through a ROUGH PATCH IN MY LIFE so it's hard to see others not acknowledge it") is one recent example I came across.

Social justice superiority headcanons is a really good term for this, and it's one of my major fandom dislikes as well.

I saw a tumblr post just the other day that was a few people arguing whether or not a certain Japanese media character should be portrayed as Asian or white, because according to them he's "clearly mixed race". There was this huge argument over whether it was better for him to be an evil white colonizer (not exaggerating) or an Asian guy (bc then it's like he was subjugating his own people, which is super deep and parallels real world conflicts)

a) His parentage is DELIBERATELY AMBIGUOUS b) people in that universe aren't "Asian" or "white" because Asia doesn't fucking exist c) we have no idea what "race" any of his possible parents are d) everyone else in the world defaults to "fantasy-Japanese" so whyyyy would he or any of his parents be white?!

Oh man, I HATE that! I mean, I'm really glad that someone got through a rough patch okay, but you don't get to hold the character or other fans hostage like that.
