THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR LITERALLY ALL FANDOMS IVE EVER BEEN IN, but im thinking specifically about like homestuck and stuff but you know what ive noticed fandoms rarely ever do despite it being literally the basis of all my headcanons and theories ever? no one actually applies real world logic to these characterizations. eeveryone takes the character at face value and then never tries to like imagine what kind of person thatd be in real life? meulin for example
fanon meulin id describe as the epitome of "fake tumblr." so like, knee high socks, photography, taylor swift, whatever. but if you look at her text and also the context of her character (nepeta being an autistic cat rper. meulin being extremely prone to bullying and abusive relationships and having her identity torn apart and remade by other people) and look at the way she talks, it's obvious that yes she is meant to be initially read as that, but shes so clearly meant to be like. a weirdo tumblrina whos wayyyy too into shipping. you know. the typical fandom girl. aka. autistic weird girl.
and that isn't like that deep of an analysis right, but i feel like so many people get caught up in the "concept" of her character they don't really think about what tht concept actually looks like in real life
the same thing goes for kankri, i think fanon kankri is seen as veryyyy. like. egotistical asexual amazing atheist. and i guess. i guess he is. but in reality he genuinely is just like the most accurate representation of a SJW who thinks its more important to look morally superior than it is to actually be correct. i don't know. kankris very clearly obviously supposed to be a kid with litearlly 0 values who wants to be listened to, so he co-opted the language of the people who are listened to without actually learning anything about justice or appreciation for people or empathy. which is exactly WHY hes a misogynist, which is a huge probl;em in SJW spaces.
but the fandom just makes him out to be ths charicature of SJWs and its like. i mean i guess man but the whole point is that HES doing a shitty charicature of a SJW because he's lonely and an incel and hates himself. literally he and cronus are inteded to be the same fucking concept
