Re your first point: I think it needs to be taken into account that a lot of the worst flattening of characters comes from teenagers who lack skill/practice/maturity and have trouble producing fic with three-dimensional characterization. (Obviously this isn't true of all teenagers, but that's where the bulk of the terrible fic and cringe-worthy reductive 'headcanons' seem to be coming from.) I mean, I hate it when I see it and I really hate how Tumblr forms echo chambers full of self-reinforcing stupidity with limited exposure to any models for improvement, but I think a lot of the flattening and objectification boils down to "producing is harder than recognizing/appreciating." Fandom latches onto complex characters even when large portions of it aren't great at reproducing that complexity in their own work.
