I wanna come back to this, because I think its emblematic to something common that I hate to see in fandom interpretations of characters. Seeing a new character with different interest to your own should be an opportunity to expand your world view. literal children will see a character who’s a firefighter or an astronaut and develop an interest in that.
but adults will see a literal punk musician, and rather than decide to explore what music and culture inspired this character, instead re-imagine him engaging with material they find familiar, and ultimately safe.
I don’t like... have any feelings towards this guy personally... but this is a trend I see in fandom, especially around characters of color from cultures the fans are not familiar with. there is a desperate need to decontextualize them.
there is this absolutely DESPERATE need among especially white fans to prove that characters of other races but ESPECIALLY black characters are Just Like Them For Real by just copy pasting their favorite personal characteristics (or often just straight up stereotypes, like that shoplifter miles headcanon that went around) onto these characters. God forbid having to learn about a culture or even a subculture unlike your own, right
EXACTLY!
I wholeheartedly believe that straight men are envious of gay men and their relative freedom from patriarchal pressures. A gay man can walk into a bar and order a “girly” cocktail if he wants to. He can cry and be outwardly emotional. He can be vulnerable and sensitive. He doesn’t always have to be “in charge.” These pressures slowly crush cishet men and when they see someone free of that weight they feel a deep jealousy.
It occurs to me that this is something homophobia and fatphobia have in common.
So many diet cultists lose their minds when presented with a fat person who isn't miserable and shame-ridden and celibate. They view thinness as a prerequisite to having basic human dignity, in the same way that homophobes/transphobes view gender conformity as a prerequisite to having basic human dignity.
Body policing is the same.
Yup, not to mention that fat people undergo gender policing as well, in the form of extreme commitment to gender presentation being viewed as "bare minimum effort." Being fat and trans or GNC is severely punished by society.
