Re: What are your least favorite tropes.

[(Anonymous)]

In fanfiction, when authors try to have their characters perfectly aligned with their own political beliefs and ideals, no matter how OOC and unrealistic that would be. Yes I believe Steve Rogers would be supportive of civil rights and progressive causes he’s still a dude straight from the 40s when “Negro” was an accepted term and sodomy laws existed. He’s not going to have a flawless knowledge of modern-day nuances regarding race, gender, sexuality, etc.

He could if he wanted to, he's a smart guy.

Absolutely, yes but that’s something that takes time and effort to develop. And in all the fics I’ve read, everyone seems to skip over the steps of “character working to educate themselves and become better people” just so they can have their pwecious perfect Unproblematic Fave.

And of course everyone the character likes is 10000% woke and absolutely perfect at navigating issues of race and gender and goes out binder-shopping when their friends come out as trans and volunteers at Planned Parenthood and are just these absolute paragons of Progressive Perfection.

I get there’s a certain amount of wish fulfillment involved and I certainly don’t blame anyone for this kind of wish fulfillment, it just feels...off to me I guess. I don’t know.
