OP here. He's being woobiefied and is being portrayed as incompetent; apparently so that young, troubled authors can write vicarious "I want to be rescued and babied by big strong adults" fics with him as their self-insertion vehicle. A lot of the fics that do this seize on Kirk's TOS experiences with Kodos the Executioner, export it to the rebootiverse, and and postulate him having crippling PTSD, eating disorders, suicidal depression, etc. growing out of that experience. Others are motivated by the movies' portrayal of Kirk growing up with Uncle Frank and decide Frank starved/physically abused/sexually abused him, with similar results. In either case, the Kirk they postulate could never pass any of the psych exams that would certainly be required to get into Starfleet, much less become a captain.

...As an author who likes to whump the crap out of everyone and everything, I am now ashamed that I never thought of exporting Kodos to the reboots. Cause duuuuude. That has some potential, and I like it.

Do not like woobifying Kirk though, especially to the point of being unable to perform his professional duties. So maybe it's a good thing I quit reading reboot fic while I was writing my own, and then kind of never started again. I mean everyone's free to write what they like, and I'm sure a lot of other people apparently like woobie!Kirk if there's so much of that kind of fic... I'm just not one of them. :P
