#Bo Hoo you were traumatized by Draco in leather pants and now you don't like fanon

“Fanon enjoyers don't like canon, they only like watered-down, bastardized, and

Woobified characters and headcanons that are safer and sanitized” - some comment I read

#fanon #pro fanon #pro fandom #anti canon #even #or more like ‘canon is already perfect for you so what are you even doing here’ #go enjoy your tough characters nothing bad ever happens to #or when it does it is never addressed and/or nobody helps them/is brushed off by the narrative because obviously plot needs to happen #go enjoy your cast of characters that all hate each other #also ‘safer’ and ‘sanitized’ to describe fanon #lol #lmao even #As if most canons weren't safer and more sanitized than the fanon and their weird and gritty headcanons #like if a dad is mean in canon he is overall abusive in fanon #that is a fanon law #Draco in leather pants is a thing #Bo Hoo you were traumatized by Draco in leather pants and now you don't like fanon #go back to canon or write or commission your own canon-based fics then #like go enjoy your stoic character they just bore me #perhaps the reason there is so much woobification is that most canon characters are stoic and fan on fill the gaps of what is missing? #for some to find the characters appealing? #appealing and relatable? #have you thought of that? #also ‘watered down’ just means with more feelings or more relatable for female audiences admit it #or more archetypal because the full characterization is often hard for amateur writers and that doesn't necessarily mean they are #‘watering down’ characters on purpose #anyway the point of my rant in the tags is that fanon is supply and demand #it gives fans what they WANT in the story or characters even if it is OOC but is MISSING from the canon #otherwise it wouldn't be needed duh #anti canon purists
