I love that people can project onto characters but as soon as they start to force those projections onto me or others is when it’s a problem.

Like zelink are siblings or sheik is trans or zelda is a man or Link is trans or Link is gay.

Like that’s great!! Put your identity into the characters you love! OC-ify those bitches.

JUST DON’T FUCKING FORCE IT ONTO EVERYONE ELSE. YOU’RE NOT COOL YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE AND YOU’RE TAKING AWAY THE ABILITY TO CREATE AND PROJECT FOR SOMEONE ELSE

If you can project these things onto characters THAT AREN’T YOURS TO BEGIN WITH so can everyone else.

So respectfully shut the fuck up and let others cook and project and find identity in the characters that they love without you forcing your opinion or your identity or your projections onto them.

I’ve always found it weird when others gatekeep characters they don’t own. Don’t do that shit. It’s weird af.

#I see this a lot in the zelda fandom tbh #and it’s really discouraging sometimes #I love projecting onto characters and giving them traits and personalities i can be more emgaged with or can relate to #but when bigger creators in the fandom space start pushing their agendas and calling other fans stupid for not believing the same opinion #that’s when it becomes a problem #just because I don’t believe that Zelda is trans doesn’t mean I’m stupid #stfu actually #let me have my opinion without pissing people off because yours doesn’t align with mine #maybe this is just a tumblr thing lol #or maybe i need to find new zelda enhoyers to follow
