“but they completely mischaracterize-” my comrade in tumblr, the imaginary difference in how you interpret a not-real dude should not make you believe you are different or above your fellow fandom guy

i would rather be buddies with someone who has completely opposite interpretation than me than someone who shares the same opinions but tears others interpretations down

Two crudely drawn figures. The first figure says: "so you're saying we should accept headcanons that are ableist, sexist, fatphobic,-" The second figure says: this post is about respecting people who have different characterizations like if your fave character is lactose intolerant or passive aggressive, not putting one interpretation above any one else. Friendly differences will foster and grow variety in fandom more than any hostility will. Those things are not different interpretations. That's just BigotryALT

yeah

though of course complicated by how people like to find ways to argue that whatever interpretation they don’t agree with IS bigotry

I can think of several ways offhand that someone could claim a headcanon about a character being (or not being) lactose intolerant or passive aggressive is inherently ableist, racist, sexist etc etc

And where does a reasonable person draw the line? Lmao who the hell knows, dont think I’ve ever met a reasonable person, not sure they exist
