It always really weirds me out when people project their own issues onto characters. Like, I can understand finding a character who has canon similarities to you and empathizing with that, but I will never get this whole concept of deciding to interpret a character in some way that has no basis in canon whatsoever just so that the character will be more like you. It just seems like thinly-veiled self-insertion to me.

I think it's more the hunger for identification combined with projection. Folks want somebody people like to be like them. If they are in a unique group, such examples are less in number so they end up looking broader and being a bit more desperate to find it.

It's this silly thing where people who are rarely (and if so, often wrongly) represented in the media end up reading in between the lines because that is the only way they will ever get a character like them. Because representation matters, and when there is none, negotiated or oppositional (as opposed to hegemonic) readings are very helpful.

Jesus, anon, "magic" and "super powers" have been used as metaphors for marginalized people for ages. Wow, people with real life problems relate to characters with fictional problems! Ain't that a fanciful thought.
