it always annoys me when people complain about mischaracterisations in fanfiction, especially if it's an au. it also just makes no sense to me, like if you wanted to read canon dynamics then reread/rewatch etc. canon ๐คจ or write one yourself! no one's stopping you!
fanfiction is literally designed to imagine the characters in different situations or what ifs so fic authors are 100% allowed to characterise the characters how ever they want to. if it's not your thing, just click off it. no one's forcing you to read it! also read the tags. look out for canon compliant or canon divergent fics etc. most fic writers will let you know if they've remixed the characters or not (though they don't have to, so don't expect it).
if people imagine the characters in particular ways then let them! they're not harming anyone by hyper-femininising a male character or making someone evil and dark. again, if it's not your thing then the back button is right there.
stop policing fic writer's creativity and just leave them be.
