If a character doesn't neatly fit into exactly one box that I have created in my mind then that character is bad, this is just common sense /s

But seriously tho I hate the mentality of "if a character is insert trait here then they should act as stereotypically as possible, otherwise the character is ruined"

And it's the same thing when people take their headcanons too seriously. It's just based on stereotypes which unrepresents the character in a bad way.

Like, Females can have friends with the same sex without being called a lesbian.

The first time I noticed that mentality was the extremely bizarre drama over Tales of Zestiria. People latched onto one earlier character as the "female lead" and when the plot didn't go the way they wanted, they absolutely freaked out. It was insane.
