Curse of knowledge

Currently struggling with what to make of the fact that a lot of people's "characterisation" really boils down to giving characters traits they find cool, righteous or "relatable" with little regard to how those traits would actually interact with their established characterisation.

Like, there's nobody out there making their fave "gay and homophobic", as interesting and potentially well-tracking trait that would be.

..... yeah. What the hell, that is definitely beyond the pale as far as how to handle headcanons you don't like. The "are you calling me a right-winger" thing is particularly apalling.
