~~ rationalization fixation

I think I get carried away and forget to say exactly what I mean sometimes, so when I say "I hate fanon Draco", I don't actually mean that in a sweeping sense, really. I mean I can't stand the idealization of particular characteristics in any person. I mean that to take away someone's right to make awful mistakes in judgement is, to me, to take away their humanity.

Everyone has their horrors, y'know. My horror is forcing people to be self-aware, mostly because I so -want- them to be that way naturally somehow, and also because I feel I'm rather violently irrational and I cling to my emotional responses to things, I suppose. I feel a strong empathy towards someone who'd have their (unhealthy) passion stolen from them.

( Blah-blah-fanonization meta-blah. )

It's the type of fanon "fixing" that bothers me. The rationalization-type fixing. I don't care if someone's wittier, snarkier, sexier, more dapper, or has an entirely different personality, not so much. Buuuut, when you make anyone more -rational- & kind of force them to be "right", that's when I get upset.

These are the most commonly idealized supposed "improvements", and basically they grate on me. The idea that one can just wake up and be reasonable and "see the light". For some reason, I can't leave that alone.

( So I made a list! )

I think I've succeeded in losing whatever real point I had, btw, once I got over my sudden... er... frustration. Yes. That's it -.-
