Re: How do you feel about fans changing a significant attribute of a character?

(Anonymous) 2018-08-17 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
In theory, I have no issue with fans' headcanons or AUs (If it's a valid interpretation/the source material doesn't directly contradict it, it's a headcanon. If it's directly contradicted by the source material, it's an AU.)

In execution -- meh? I've seen it done really well. I've also seen it done really poorly. Some of it might as well be called "Fun With Stereotypes." Every canon character who does not 100% embrace gender roles will be headcanoned trans, because if you were AMAB, you can never be truly girly, I guess. However, most of the stuff that's done poorly is more on the harmless side, so it's not so much that I'm not okay with it as it is that I am going to back-button right the heck out. You want to "headcanon" that Tony Stark is actually a 19-year-old girl masquerading as a middle-aged man through the judicious use of Life Model Decoys and body doubles for reasons? You do you, but I'm out.
