Anyone else find it wild the amount of projection some people put on characters. And I don't mean like personality traits I mean like interests. People HAVE to have their faves to have the same interests in movies and tv and music as them, to the point that then you have grown men sounding like they are teenage girls in a weird way and everyone has literally the exact same taste. And they also can't like something the fic author hates bc then it is an irredeemable flaw or st even if it is canon or it fits the characters personality better. Idk like maybe it's the types of fics I read but it's just super weird sometimes and really takes me out of the story. Especially when like... You didn't need to name drop anything in the first place? It often isn't relèvent at all
