silly fandom thoughts but I keep running into fandom attitudes I find totally baffling and I've been trying to articulate why, and I think it's ultimately down to the difference between:

I am writing fic or meta about my blorbo, who is wronged and suffering. I may end up misinterpreting canon or flat-out villainising other characters and groups in order to cast my blorbo in the best possible light and emphasise their Suffering, but ultimately everything is about the blorbo.

I am writing fic or meta against my anti-blorbo, who is to me the ultimate villain regardless of what canon has to say about them. I may misinterpret canon or flat-out change canon relationships to make my anti-blorbo look worse and emphasise that their canonical loved ones actually hate them, but ultimately everything is about the anti-blorbo.

the first one can definitely be annoying, but ultimately i get where people are coming from? but the second one just makes me sad. idk!

like, the key iddy pleasure of the first one is "everyone realises how wonderful my blorbo is and how much they have suffered, all other characters reassure my blorbo that they've loved and valued, other characters spend most of their time thinking and talking about how great the blorbo is even when it doesn't really make sense to do so."

and I get why that's fun! even when I don't care about the character and/or the fanon annoys me, I can understand what people get out of it!

but the key iddy pleasure of the second one seems to be "everyone realises how awful my anti-blorbo is and how they have never actually experienced anything that might make them sympathetic, all other characters including ones that canonically love the anti-blorbo actually hate them, other characters spend all their time thinking and talking about how terrible the anti-blorbo is even when it doesn't really make sense to do so."

and I just don't understand why! why spend THAT MUCH energy on hatred! why is that fun for people!
