I will never shy away from the word goon. goon is the only way to describe a particular type of henchman, lackey, or thug. look at these guys. they're goons.

Hi pervert! I've ô’btained an item...

Incredibly violent take of mine but I actually don’t think you need to relate to a story in any way to enjoy it. You can enjoy a story even if you can’t point at a character and insert some aspect of your personality or identity into them. In fact I would argue the need for a character like that to be present in every single story you experience is a sign of stunted growth.

like. it gets to a point where all these anti-interpretation, anti-analysis “I reject canon and do what I want” posts read as anti-intellectualism and in a time where people are thinking critically less and less and relying on AI to tell them what to do and think I personally do not find it cute or funny. Like yes, a big part of fandom is fanworks and transformative works and elevating or diverging from canon and I LOVE that. And there are aspects of canon that suck. I get wanting to ignore or erase them in your fandom play. And that’s totally fine. I do it too from time to time. I think every fan does, to some extent. But there are also fans who LOVE analysis and writing meta and who like puzzling canon together or digging into the canon and using canon to support their theories / interpretations. And acting like those fans are “fun suckers” because we get enjoyment out of writing essays and looking at canonical moments to validate our readings of the text just sounds a lot like the people who peddling anti-intellectual rhetoric and don’t want people to THINK critically about anything anymore.

call me terminally academia-brained but i do think a lot of the fun of character analysis is figuring out how to build a compelling argument for a particular reading using lines of evidence from canon as well as meta/intertextual support

[clementine-kesh]

and you could say that what i’m saying here is basically “a lot of the fun of doing character analysis is doing character analysis” but let’s be real a lot of fandom character analysis is pretty heavily vibes-based. and i think that’s where i really chafe up against the traditional thought-terminating fandom attitude of like, everyone’s opinions hold equal weight and any interrogation of that is inherently hostile. because i think it’s fascinating to dig into where others are coming from in terms of their views on characters or dynamics or whatever, especially when they differ significantly from more commonly expressed views, and part of that digging is asking people okay what parts of canon are you drawing from to support your opinion? what parts of canon are you disregarding or downplaying? how does this argument hold up in the light of how race, gender, class, ability, etc. operate both in the piece’s in-fiction and real world contexts?
