IDK that happens sometimes but I think a lot of it is also that what people want out of characters for fannish purposes is just very specific and doesn't always line up with what's going on in a canon or text.

Like, the fact that a character gets adopted by fandom doesn't really mean they're a *better* character than one who doesn't get adopted by fandom. Fandom is a very specific thing!

This. It makes sense in theory to assume that how much fandom activity you dedicate to each character is a direct reflection of how much you like each character, i.e. you make the most fanworks about your #1 fave, you make the second most fanworks about your second fave, and so on. But that's really far from how it works. Some characters I love the most have nothing left for me to contribute to in a fannish sense because canon covers them so completely and so well, and that's part of why I love them so much! And I've written fics about characters I don't even like, because an idea for a fic about them struck me.

I think some fans themselves don't really consider that they like the fannish potential of a character more than the character as they are in canon, and say "___ is my favorite character" because of that fannish potential. But then who's to say that's not a valid reason to have them be your favorite character?

Depends on how you define "better", I guess. When it comes to Fandom, I look for characters that I want to spend time with. I would prefer to spend my time with other queers, so if they're not queer in canon then I make them queer in my space. And nine times out of ten the canon queer characters bore the shit out of me.

YMMV, etc etc
