I don't watch Breaking Bad, so I'm just going to assume it's because Jesse is an approachable goal for getting on HRT. Jesse is probably within the same age-group as those people who are making the trans headcanons and are watching the show. The rest of the near ubiquity of the headcanon is probably just folks not wanting to rock the boat with those who insist on it, which is a standard fandom experience.

Still though, lmao at the article headline.

[(Anonymous)]

tbh its more part of a meme at this point.

[(Anonymous)]

I get it. Jesse is slim and not above average height for a dude.

[(Anonymous)]

He is thin, not of great height, young and fandom darling. Of course it's going to be him. And if you are against it, you are transphobic.

[(Anonymous)]

Also has some very patchy looking facial hair so he just MUST be trans.

[(Anonymous)]

You're right, we should make big old ugly characters who everyone hates our trans headcanons instead, to show that we're really serious about trans rights and not just fetishizing. Or something.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, whatever. Make headcanons all you want. Thought why not Gus Fring, for example, he isn't enough white for you? Or Jane? Trans!Girls are not that fun? This are very hot characters. Anywaaay. As long as headcanons are headcanons and fandom people aren't being aggressive about it's all good.

I definitely see t4t Jesse/Jane tossed around a lot, though, FWIW.

Re: da

ayrt
Oh, this is cool!

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, but it does seem to be a thing that some people do. Pick the unlikeliest candidates for trans headcanons, that is. Sure, the character might ooze toxic masculinity and is the kind of asshole bully that only a person who grew up being worshipped by society could become, but yeah, transman.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh ffs.

You take your icons where you find them. For example, for the longest time Indian-Americans actually applauded Apu on The Simpsons simple because there was no other representation. In Scotland Ikarus from Eternals is liked, despite being the baddie, because there is fuck all else Scottish in Hollywood. Seriously though, would it have killed them to make the English character the evil bastard, or a white American, you could have had the same subtext and not contributed to the ongoing marginalisation of Scottish characters. The most high profile Scottish actor in work at the moment has to keep playing English people to get onto the screen.

Anyway when representation is thin on the ground, you do what you can with what you have got.

[(Anonymous)]

They probably wanted to be different in not having an English person be the bad guy. I mean have you you watched many Hollywood films, English people are always the bad guys.

Signed a fellow Scott.

[(Anonymous)]

Are you sure you are a Scot, Scott?

[(Anonymous)]

Scottish people are welcome to all the villain roles they want. It's just boring lazy writing to have an English villain by now.

[(Anonymous)]

But Jesse isn't canonically trans, though. Like, this is literally just someone's headcanon that got popular, so it's not actually representation

[(Anonymous)]

And Apu was brownface, what was your point? When representation is so thin on the ground that it evaporates before dew does, you take what you can get. Even if you have to make it yourself.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT but how is Apu brownface? Is there a secondary meaning to that word that I don't know of?

[(Anonymous)]

The actor who plays him isn't brown.

[(Anonymous)]

Apparently there is a primary meaning you don't know.
