In my fandom, blocking haters/antis "coincidentally" removes a lot of ooc slop from the tags. They legitimately do not like the dark plot that is canon (why are they here?), only the lighter version they've made up in their heads. Truly, good riddance.
when I say fanfic writers can write whatever they want, however they want, I include antis too.
so the only thing I don’t agree with you here is “ooc slop”. ooc is not “slop”. nothing is “slop” as long as it’s written with love and the person who writes it enjoys it. I may not agree with antis’ opinions, but I will never resort to insulting their fics just because I don’t agree with their views or their characterization of the characters.
there’s nothing wrong with ooc. canon is only a suggestion anyway. how much of it a writer will follow, if any, is entirely up to them. and the fun part about writing fanfics is that writers have full freedom to write whatever they want, however they want, so if someone only enjoys writing fluff, then that does not mean their fluff fic is less than other writers’ taboo fics.
more often than not, an ooc fic is just a fic written by someone who interprets the character differently from how you interpret them. but that doesn’t mean their way of interpreting the character is wrong. it doesn’t mean your way of interpreting the same character is wrong either. two people can interpret the same character differently, and both interpretations are valid. fanfic is literally “this is my own version/my own interpretation of the character I love”, therefore there is no wrong way to write/interpret it.
but even if someone deliberately writes an ooc fic, that still doesn’t mean their fic is less than other fics. ooc is fun. you got to explore new sides of the character that aren’t shown in canon.
a lot of people who are proship love ooc fics.
a lot of people who are proship love lighter versions of fanfics about their favorite characters.
a lot of people who are proship do NOT like dark fics.
and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with their preferences.
you can dislike antis’ fics, you can dislike any fic for any reason, but doing the same thing antis do—by insulting fanfics—won’t make you better than them.
