Thing is i would enjoy prickly asshole loner characters a lot more if the canon and fanon actually acknowledged the asshole part. None of this "oh he has a sad backstory so it is ok uwu" from either of them, i want the consequences, i want other characters to be uncomfortable or even angry about their behaviour and the narrative treating the others in the right and the fanon acknowleding it and not dismiss other character's frustration. Too bad this only seems to happen when said character is a woman, or a poc, or both. Like people forget "Asshole with a heart of gold" still is an asshole and not very likable one at that

#Like cc with Max and tma with every character and it with Lake and toh with Hunter handled it so well #(Jon and Hunter do get woobified in fanon though but other than that yeah)#But most of the time prickly guy becomes writer's self insert and fandom fave and then turn him into a really boring character #and destroy other interesting characters in doing so as well #People complain about Mary Sues but to me this is the most overrated character troupe #this is specifically about a certain fandom favourite character i really hate and want gone but i rather not say it #fandom stuff #fandom problems #fandom #empty thoughts
