i think it’s really amazing how total strangers who have nothing in common but their shared love of a work of fiction will come together across distances and dedicate their time and energy working collaboratively to build an extensive, richly detailed fanon that completely fucking sucks
you guys are so committed to being bad at interpreting things you’ll just straight up decide this post means the opposite of what i wrote and reblog it anyway
Shoutouts to this guy for being right yet only being visible in the notes next to a goon who posted this cap next to a No Fun Allowed sign and completely missed the point of both what they and the original post was saying
I have literally seen so much characterization and nuance(and you know, actual narrative meaning) sanded off of characters so that they can fit into the generic fandom mould for incorrect quotes or shipping art or fics, ending up as carbon copies of every other fandom's sanded-down characters in the process
i know countless times that fandoms made fanon of such insignificant characters that when the background character did something that didnt adhere to fannon, the fans got pissed. i and my friends have been harrassed for portraying a background character in a different way that what fannon decided was right
