Like... there are some characters who are very flexible where kink is concerned, and some who aren't, especially because few characters have all their kinks laid out in canon, but there's always going to be someone who manages to write them totally OOC...

A lot of times, I'm willing to accept 'what a person is like out of the bedroom isn't always an indicator of what they like in the bedroom', and then my headcanons are either compatible or incompatible with another writer's.


BUT, I have two faves who very much DO have canon regarding their kinks, and in those cases I totally get being upset by OOC depictions. One of those faves is from a pre-internet fandom so no one else writes about him anyway, but the other is from a huge fandom, and the number of times I've seen a character who canonically loves when women throw/slap him around/pin him down and is not shy about it, written as a serious Dom... I can't with that. If you prefer something that goes against canon, and you write the character as vers, to me that's different, but I hate when canon is just ignored.

Which characters are those, if I may ask?

#2... Dean Winchester? Something about getting slapped by a girl in a zorro mask, plus on at least one occasion he enjoyed wearing a girl's pink satin panties.

Not many characters I can think of are as open as Dean-- even if sometimes he's only open to himself.

Hmmm, whenever I see someone posting something like this, 98% of the time it's coming from someone projecting their own kinks and preferences just as hard as they claim the fans they are so derisive toward are doing. Canon can be interpreted in a variety of ways, especially canon where we aren't actually in the characters heads. "In character" is a spectrum, not an absolute.

This, honestly.

Yeah, the Phoenix Wright fandom is like that (was? I've been out of the loop for a while) with saying Franziska was essentially a canon Dom because she literally carries a whip around everywhere and uses it on everyone. But one person I know pointed out that it would be hilarious and make a lot of sense if she wasn't into that in the bedroom at all, because the majority of people don't perform their kinks in public in nonsexual contexts.

The pre-internet character literally gets in a romantic relationship with a submissive, they discuss a scene on-screen... but he also has a dream about being taken captive by a tribe of Amazon women, for whatever that's worth. Easy enough to depict as having some flexibility, but he is depicted as happy to enter a kinky relationship.

The other one straight up casually drops wanting a girl to smack him around into conversation. Like, I do not have to dig here, that's not even his deep, dark kink secret (also admitted to on-screen). I am the 2%, it's on screen, he has a love scene where his reaction to being thrown to the bed by a woman is an absolutely thrilled grin, though again, even without that, he says out loud that being slapped in the face would be hot. He one hundred percent does not need to bring having a pain/impact play kink into the conversation, no one else is talking about kinky sex, he just makes a habit of volunteering information about what he's into.

In character is a spectrum, but sometimes we are in the characters' heads (as in dream sequences), and sometimes we don't need to be, because some characters are candid about kink-- or at the very least, we see what they're capable of enjoying with the right partner.
