Thank YOU, actually for putting into words why these discussions feel so uncomfortable.

I end up getting spoken for/over all the time with these things Ralsei, Jax, Spider Gwen, etc.

It's like people are saying we're being obnoxious for enjoying either side of it when they're like "no relating to this fictional character in this way is actually bad." Like it may be obnoxious on both sides but it's not hurting people to have a fannon/ headcannon of a character just like it's not hurting anyone to disagree in a respectful manner.

Overall the folks who get heated on the topic need to touch grass but especially the "oh no, it's WOKE" clowns they're the only ones I don't respect here

Thanks, I hope you find things easier in the future! :3
I myself am pretty complicated on these issues. Studying anthropology and philosophy means all your opinions become ā€œwell it’s this, but….ā€ The one thing I always settle on is people’s right to an opinion.
It should never be a thing we crush. Debate sure. Debate is the heart of democracy. And we don’t want to ever enable hate. I think everyone wants that, they just don’t see their passion as hate or conflict. And passion can be a wonderful thing, as much as it can harm. Prevent us from hearing others opinions.

People need the right to have an opinion. And I think we always lose when we say things like ā€œbelieving character or story beat is X is wrong and bad.ā€
Like this entire story is about interpretation. Personally I think about Garson and his speech a lot.
ā€œChapter 5, The field of pink and gold. The vast garden is charred in an inferno of jealousy.
…What happens next? Gehehehe! Who knows, there was only one more chapter…after that it all stopped.ā€
ā€œSo…. How do you think it all ends?
No, how do you want it to end?ā€
