lemme break it down for u

1. giving ppl shit for a genderswapped female headcanon of a character that was originally a man is misogynistic
2. giving ppl shit for a poc headcanon because of a character that was originally white is racist
3. (this is the one i see the most though) giving people shit for a trans* headcanon because of a character that was originally cis is transphobic

i dont give a frickyfrack what your intentions are i dont care if youre not “actually” a misogynist/racist/transphobe the fact is that these headcanons are ways in which people of marginalized groups can find some damn peace and create their own representation because fuckall if these people are getting accurate representation in mainstream media

you are literally reinforcing oppression (think about that. the oppression you’ve been trying to fight against? you are reinforcing it) when you give these ppl shit solely based on their headcanon having a different sex/ gender identity/ sexuality/ skin color than what is canon. the whole point of headcanon is interpreting a piece of media in a way that you like or that makes most sense to you. another person’s headcanon does not affect you. y’all who are like “gay marriage doesn’t affect people i don’t get why they try to keep it illegal when it won’t have any affect on their personal lives” but then turn around and deny people their right to have a safe space and express their creativity freely are gross as hell GOODBYE
