I don't really agree? Like, it's one thing if it isn't a visual media, and the race/appearance of the characters aren't distinct, but when they are fully visible/described then I disagree quite a bit.
To me, it really is just racist or performance based when I see people do that. A good comparison would be some of the more dramatic Batfam fans. On one hand it would be great that your key faves aren't just a bunch of twinkish white boys, but by making Tim (the smart one) Asian, Jason (the criminal) Latino, and Dick (born in a circus) (and I know there is canon support for this one, but the writer who included that literally named herself after him and was just another fangirl) Romani... well, that actually makes it a lot worse, imo. Especially because these are the same people who argue that it is somehow canon, often with the "if they let them" argument.

I mean, people can do what they want, I'm not going to stop them, but I don't think I've ever seen race/weight (and even gender) bending done without some sort of bigotry backing it.

Yeah, particularly when they ignore Damian's actual, canon Chinese-Arab heritage or Bruce's actual, canon Jewish heritage to do it.

WRT race/weight bending without some bigotry behind it--I feel this way with a lot of trans headcanons. Out of a lineup of women, people always pick out the tallest, most masculine girl to be a trans woman, and of guys, always the twinkiest to be a trans man. Maybe that's true to life in some ways, but it honestly FEELS really bad, as a trans person--like we're always clockable, we'll never be able to escape the social legacy of our birth gender, etc. I wouldn't be nearly so averse to the idea of trans headcanons if I could trust people to pick out feminine waifish girls to be trans women or big beefy dudes to be trans men on occasion, but I truly and sincerely cannot.

This one drives me nuts in Sailor Moon fandom, Jupiter is *always* the trans girl (and half the art will draw her really built and mannish, which feels almost anti-trans). Heaven forbid she just be a tall girl, no she must be a trans girl who’s only barely passing or you’re not woke enough. It absolutely gives a feeling like trans people will never truly pass, there will always be a ‘tell.’
