Honestly, it bothers me too, and it has more to do with people changing canon aspects than anything else. Headcanons are supposed to fill in the blanks that canon left out, not write over what's already established. If I like a character then I like everything about them from canon, flaws and all. And I want fancontent of them the way I'm used to seeing them in canon. Sometimes people even changing hairstyles drives me up the wall. I never say anything to the people making and sharing such content because to each their own but personally I can't fuck with it.

I also really hate the apparent trend of changing/adding things to a character to get points for liking "diversity". It all feels so performative. Why not like a character that's already fat? or gay? or mentally ill? or disabled? or something? There's a lot more of them out there to identify with and celebrate than people think.

My own personal "I'm like this but I hate seeing it" is with autistic characters. Especially when it's really over the top and they keep beating you over the head with it that "x is autistic uwu". I don't know it makes me feel really uncomfortable even as an autistic person myself. I've identified with different characters without that having to be explicitly stated and it oddly makes me feel really infantalized when it happens? I don't know. I'd prefer a character be shown having sensory issues but it never being a Thing than a bunch of people on all my socials talking about how they stim all the time. Can anyone else relate to this?

And now I'm just thinking of Hunk and how no one took him seriously even though he was such a great character and Voltron was really popular in fandom circles when it was still going on. Yet the content for him was hard to find. Which is another thing, it's like some people will change a character (perhaps ones they don't care for much) to be X for the back pats but can conveniently ignore it since it isn't canon when interacting with other content/with canon but when they have a character that's X in canon they don't like it. It's performative as hell.

Just like the characters for what they are.
