When trans people headcanon characters as trans or autistic people headcanon characters as autistic etc people are always like “stop inserting yourself into characters!! Stop acting like you need to make them all like you!!” Like honestly stop having double standards literally everyone projects themselves onto their favorite characters. Everyone. If you have a favorite character you are going to want to imagine that they are like you.
It’s just bullshit way of saying “I don’t want these characters to be like you” and that’s already petty as hell because other people’s headcanons are not hurting you and you have no reason to agree that a character is trans or autistic or bi or whatever but it’s also transparently bigoted considering they don’t say this to people whose headcanons for characters aren’t marginalized identities. They don’t say that when a white person headcanons a character white. They don’t say that when a straight person headcanons a character as straight.
Everyone projects themselves onto fictional characters and everyone likes to imagine their favorite characters are like them ur not fooling anyone with this shitty argument
