Hunter finished the Cosmic Frontier books and was ravenous for more to read so Luz pointed him in the direction of fanfiction.
Hunter is a staunch completist when it comes to what he reads. If he never managed to finish the book series, it would have bothered him immensely. And as a person completely unfamiliar with the concept of fanfiction, he adapts the same mindset. If Hunter does not read all 28k fics in the Cosmic Frontier archive, can he even consider himself a real fan?
This results in him spending hours clicking on every single fic (No exceptions!) and reading it thoroughly. He's such an enthusiastic reader and fan in general that his comments are always lengthy essays where he gushes about all the details in the fics that he likes. I can not stress enough that Hunter has nothing but good intentions. He wants to happily nerd out to other people who like the same stuff as him. He's not here to be a bitch.
However, Hunter has a very hard time understanding the concept of "Alternative interpretations". Like. He has extensively studied and analyzed the Cosmic Frontier books. He's gathered all the extra tidbits and trivia and lore that exists. He bought a human realm tablet just to browse the wiki. He practically is the wiki.
So basically, Hunter believes himself a reliable authority on everything Cosmic Frontier related. This results in him pointing out every inconsistency, inaccuracy and non canon compliant detail in every fic that he reads. And...I have to state once again, he is not trying to be a bitch. He thinks he's being helpful. He even adds a bunch of smiley faces to his corrections. But he's so confident in his own knowledge of the subject and so bad at tone that he comes across as smug and conceited. There are people in CF forums who want his ass crucified because he just never shuts the fuck up. On his "Um actually-!" bullshit under every single post, he is infuriating.
Anyway back to the homophobic thing. Hunter does not understand that just because he interpreted O'Bailey and Avery as brothers, that does not mean that this is an objective fact. Because he's Hunter and when it comes to Cosmic Frontier, he is always right.
So he considers writing them as a romance to be an inaccurate depiction so he likes to "helpfully" let the author know so they don't make that mistake again.
Man spent like two weeks reading a 300k Slow Burn and once he's done he's like "This was excellently written!! What an awesome use of the lore from chapter 17 from book 5 that is rarely elaborated on. I have one note though! O'Bailey and Avery aren't in love! Don't feel bad about making that mistake though! There's over 3000 people in the archive who did the same thing. But don't worry, I've been letting them know! :) Anyway, I also like the--"
Hunter is very new to fandom spaces. Hunter is very eager to be involved in fandom spaces. But he just....has to learn a few things.
Eventually, his stickler-ness over canon compliance will loosen a bit. And the world will never be the same once his Werewolf!O'Bailey fic drops.
Hunter keeps getting in trouble for leaving comments on Avery/O'Bailey slash fics where he politely explains that they're actually more like brothers and the love they have for each other is not supposed to be romantic.
He's like "Luz, I got called homophobic today. What does that mean?"
Luz, swiveling around in her desk chair, wondering how the FUCK her fruity little freak of a friend possibly managed this. But then when he explains what he did, her soul leaves her body.
"Don't..." She begins patiently. "Don't do that."
"But they were wrong."
"Don't do that."
