what she means: Hanzo Shimada is well written character who has a complicated past and doesn't deserve the hate he gets from the fandom. he may have attempted to kill Genji which is pretty terrible but he was manipulated since he was a child and was held to extremely high standards by the rest of his family that if he did not exceed he could have faced disownment. he clearly has mental health issues as a result of these events such as PTSD and depression and it is strongly implied that he is suicidal. and despite Hanzo growing up with the mindset/ideals of an eastern culture the fandom tends to compare him to their majorly western standards which is unfair in judging and understanding him as a character. while it is fine to dislike or even hate a character, people often jump to conclusions about Hanzo without considering him as a person and character nor his background
straight cis people complain about lgbtq+ people shoving it in their faces all the time, but here’s the thing: we have to.
like. i’m trans. i have a trans pin on my jacket and a pretty clear HE pin as well (and I know it’s not about how easy the pin is to read: my old one was even more clear and the same stuff happened. every. day.). Yet, every time I go somewhere, I’m called a girl. People use she/her for me. They refer to a group with me in it as “ladies.” Even though I’ve clearly shown what pronouns to use.
I introduce myself as James and people call me Jane or comment on how ‘that’s an unusual name’ (with the extremely obvious for a girl going unspoken most of the time), and continue to use she/her for me. Sometimes, they ask me how to spell it (they ask me how to spell James.) because they can’t believe a ‘girl’ would have that name.
If I want somebody to stop misgendering me, I have to say out loud that I’m trans, use he/him pronouns for me. I have to remind them every day, every time they misgender me, until they stop. And they never do stop completely. Even if they met me after I came out and have therefore always known me as a guy.
If you want us to stop ‘shoving it in your face’ maybe pay attention to our signals first.
