Ugh, yes I see what you mean.

My fandom tends to make fandom versions of canon characters, and they tend to be pretty popular, but people love canon characters anyway. A few weeks ago a person who's very active in my fandom asked if she was the only one who liked the fandom darling in his canon form and that she wanted to make a comm focused on canon character but she was afraid she would receive a lot of hate for it.

Now, her saying that really annoyed me. One, she perfectly knows there are a lot of people who shares her love for said character in his canon form, so it felt like she wanted a nice pat in the ass as someone else here said; second, I've never ever seen someone get any kind of hate for expressing a preference for canon characters, so I felt it more like a veiled attack on people who prefer fanon characters, as if she was saying "I'm so afraid that that crazy part of the fandom will attack little poor me" despite that the fandom in itself is pretty tame; we may not share the same preferences, but we're no gonna hunt her for it.

I really wanted to tell her "yes, sure, no problem, do what you want to do, but honey, you really are overreacting this time."
