AYRT.

I get teens doing it because everything does feel very dramatic as a teen, I remember thinking every hurt I suffered was the worst y'know? So that bleeding over into writing checks out(never mind being a teen writer meant I was still learning, thus writing mistakes abound). But I've known plenty of adult writers who wrote completely capable and competent adult characters with the emotional stability of a 12 year old. Maybe it's a catharsis thing I don't know really, but I do know that I hate it every time it happens.

DA - I know exactly what you're talking about. The only thing I can figure is it is (or similar to) a kink. There is this one author that just loves to make Steve Rogers into a crying child by the end of all their fic. It was bizarre. At first I thought they were just young but then it turns out they were a married woman with grown children? (Mentioned in aithors notes.) So I guess she just has a kink for turning strong characters into helpless children. More power to her, I guess.

Yeah it's why I do think it's a kink, or at least an emotionally cathartic thing for some people which is fair enough, but absolutely not my jam. It's just really irritating when it gets into the fandom headcanons and this unrecognisable, useless, and frankly boring character has taken the place of the one I liked. Drives me mad.

Completely agreed. When I see those characterizations popping up more and more I consider it the death nell of a fandom.

You're right on the money there anon, when it becomes most of the fic that's when I leave. There's nothing for me there anymore, lol.
