#perhaps the reason there is so much woobification is that most canon characters are stoic and fan on fill the gaps of what is missing?

“Fanon enjoyers don't like canon, they only like watered-down, bastardized, and

Woobified characters and headcanons that are safer and sanitized” - some comment I read

#fanon #pro fanon #pro fandom #anti canon #even #or more like ‘canon is already perfect for you so what are you even doing here’ #go enjoy your tough characters nothing bad ever happens to #or when it does it is never addressed and/or nobody helps them/is brushed off by the narrative because obviously plot needs to happen #go enjoy your cast of characters that all hate each other #also ‘safer’ and ‘sanitized’ to describe fanon #lol #lmao even #As if most canons weren't safer and more sanitized than the fanon and their weird and gritty headcanons #like if a dad is mean in canon he is overall abusive in fanon #that is a fanon law #Draco in leather pants is a thing #Bo Hoo you were traumatized by Draco in leather pants and now you don't like fanon #go back to canon or write or commission your own canon-based fics then #like go enjoy your stoic character they just bore me #perhaps the reason there is so much woobification is that most canon characters are stoic and fan on fill the gaps of what is missing? #for some to find the characters appealing? #appealing and relatable? #have you thought of that? #also ‘watered down’ just means with more feelings or more relatable for female audiences admit it #or more archetypal because the full characterization is often hard for amateur writers and that doesn't necessarily mean they are #‘watering down’ characters on purpose #anyway the point of my rant in the tags is that fanon is supply and demand #it gives fans what they WANT in the story or characters even if it is OOC but is MISSING from the canon #otherwise it wouldn't be needed duh #anti canon purists
