i think if you think someone is a bad person simply because they view/portray a character differently than you do, you need to take your ass outside and talk to real people. this is ESPECIALLY true when yall know that you're almost entirely projecting who YOU are as in individual onto these characters. you cannot expect people to portray a character as you with better hair-- none of us know each other. we're all strangers. your story- the one you use to try and force parallels with your fave- is nonexistent as far as the next person is concerned.

im not saying there's anything wrong with projecting on to your faves. TONS of people do it-- which is why, you're not always going to find people who view the character the exact same way you want them to. because their projection looks different from your projection.

if you want a character to be portrayed exactly like you want them to, if you want a character that shares your likeness (whatever that means to you) create your own original character. no one can "take that away from you" because it's your own creation and you dictate what's true or not.

everything else is all entirely up to the individual's interpretation that's consuming the media, same as you.

#i get so tired of people arguing about HEADCANONS #they're headcanons for a reason #idk when fandom became this thing where if you decide you don't like canon you can completely disregard it #then argue people down or shade fellow fans when they dont follow suit.#it's esp crazy when your headcanons are so niche that it's almost entirely unique to you and you're out for blood bc it's not widespread #that's like me believing for the last 3 years that aizawa gave up smokin when he was younger then picked up a bad sweets habit in it's plac #then me seeing someone write a fic or draw a comic where he's smoking a cigarette and turns his nose up at cake #or me getting mad because other fans dont headcanon him as half-brazilian #fuck i look like harassing people because they don't follow MY MADE UP LORE????#he's NOT my character!#i dont care how attached i am to him and how much time i've spent developing him as a character on my own #i can however dictate the facts about kenji or arika or maria or hiro or edna and so on #because those ARE my characters #god... i bet i would've hated having to play in the sandbox with some of yall as kids
