#it doesn't mean i'm trying to Hashtag Cancel anyone it's just that yknow sometimes
Note
Didn't you say like a few months ago that if someone hcs sniper as ace they're infantilizing him or smth? I think the reasoning you gave was that only reason ppl would hc him as ace is because he doesn't like being around people?
I'm going to open this by saying you know damn well that's not what I said, but I am going to clarify on what I probably was saying that you are choosing to present this way: I find a constant focus on Sniper tf2 as "the ace one" to be a weird stereotype of both socially weird/mentally ill/neurodivergent/etc. people and asexual people, especially when it overlaps with "Sniper tf2 autism king heart eyes"posting. Although obviously there are plenty of socially weird/mentally ill/neurodivergent/etc. asexual people, I dislike the fandomy conflation of the two, not only as someone who is socially weird and not asexual, but as someone who knows ace people who are not Shy and Quiet and etc.! Obviously asexual Sniper tf2 is Good and Fine and Cool, I said I like it, but like I said I think making Sniper "the ace one" veers a little too far into "asexual people are asexual because they do not Understand Sex (because neurodivergent <3)" territory, or even "asexual people just can't get any" territory. Basically like all lgbt headcanons, the way in which you go about it can and does matter sometimes. I have a big ol post complaining about how people use transfem Spy headcanons to associate being transfeminine with being "wet and pathetic" or whatever, it doesn't mean I dislike or inherently oppose transfem Spy. Don't put words into my mouth, I don't fall for that!
