Are Headcanons BAD? (rant)

[@baby_carrot_art9006]

!!A little clarification!! To add to the part about blackwashing. After reading through some of the comments, I agree that in some cases changing a white characters' race would be wrong. For example, if that character is used for commentary on racism/power imbalance/privilege and things like that. In that case if you change them from white to something else, it would go against the message and purpose of said character. This didn't cross my mind during scripting, but it's important to mention as well I think. Other than that I still don't mind if people edit/redesign characters for fun, don't try to "fix" them or act superior because of it lmao.

[@Gycek]

I think that there are some white characters whose remaking black would be stupid (for example Snow White from Disney because the strong part of her identity was that she has veeeeery light skin) but for the most time its compleatly fine and its stupide to complain

I just think if a person’s headcanon is something like a person’s sexuality and race it should only be done if the person DOESNT have a canon or heavily hinted one

[@showbizstudios655]

My thoughts exactly. Personally I think just slapping these traits onto characters that already have their race or sexuality officially established shouldn’t count as representation at all.

[@ettaetta439]

Canon sexualities are an interesting topic because often, sexualities aren't confirmed within the canon because heterosexuality is supposed to be assumed. Nowadays though, creators are realizing that people are GayTM and are actually giving their characters canon sexualities. That's definitely a step up from just forcing people to assume, and then getting mad when different people assume different things.

My problem with hcs is that I've seen plenty of people who claim that their hcs are canon. It can be annoying because they are spreading misinformation about characters. There was this one person shipping IzuOcha (Deku X Ochaco from MHA) and some other people started going off on them because "Deku/Ochaco is gay/lesbian". It's never been confirmed, Ochaco literally has a crush on Deku. I'm all for hcs so long as you don't go out harassing people and calling them "homophobic" for not having the same exact hcs as you.

I personally think this is a great idea because I have mobility issues (I have dislocated my knee multiple times and have had issues with mobility in my knees, I also have several problems with my joints anyway) and I love to see HCs of characters that the author wrote somewhat to our interpretation in regard to disability, sexuality, gender identity/expression, etc. Rick Riordan for example has many LGBTQ+ characters, disabled characters, characters with different ethnicities, etc. he also co-wrote a book with a queer author (Mark Oshiro) to "get a better representation of the characters." I honestly love that Rick knows how much of an impact he has on his fans, especially his younger "audience," and that he genuinely tries his best to get the most representation he can, if he needs help with showing representation, he asks for help.

[@takemi_914]

Headcanons are only 'bad' if they are fueled by a stereotype. If (for example) a male character were to wear feminine clothes, have long hair and/or painted their nails or wore makeup, that doesn't make them trans or gay. If you headcanon a certain character solely based on their appearance, background, etc. with no further justification, that's a stereotype. There are real guys who like to wear that kind of stuff and aren't part of the LGBTQ+ community, and you can imagine how much they get made fun of already because of the very same stereotypes you follow when headcanoning characters. Another example would be headcanoning a 'cold' character as aroace just because they're closed off. How...why is this a stereotype in the first place? Some people who are closed off and prefer being alone might want to be in a romantic relationship, but were treated harshly and now keep to themselves because they don't want to get hurt again. Aroace people can be expressively full of love - just not romantic. This is what some people mean when they say headcanons are 'offensive'. If you told me you headcanoned a character to be trans not because of the clothes they wear, but because of the struggle they went through with their identity in the past (i.e. I headcanon _____ as trans because they canonically have gender dysphoria, and dress in clothes of the opposite gender because they feel more comfortable with it) then it would be fine. Its realistic, its heartfelt and it isn't stereotypical. To put it in simpler terms, don't headcanon one character to like eating dogs because they are Asian. Headcanon another character to like eating dogs because they have expressed at some point in their dialogue that they like eating dubious animal meat.

[@Ruby_wuz_here]

I completely agree! Another point was in the mha fandom people got really mad when the anime changed uravity to the standard anime body type.

I absolutely love headcanons. I curate my experience very heavily, and hang out in fandoms like DC or GOmens, so it surprises me to see the hate for them sometimes. Headcanons are harmless (usually), and even the non-harmless ones are a product of the person who made them, not headcanons as a concept or thing. There's definitely a lot to be said about people pushing their headcanons on others, but again it's an issue with those people, not headcanons. I make headcanons because I just think they're fun, and the fact I and others can relate to them is even better.

[@Feral_Ratzzz]

I think a good example of this is Gwen Stacy from Atsv, I’m a trans man and when I watched the movie I realized how EXTREMELY Trans coded she was to the point that people argued ( and still argue) if she’s trans or not… I personally thought and still think of her as trans and I felt like it would fit her character if she was. The pain she felt hit so close to home and seeing the “ Protect Trans kids” flag made me tear up. I’m not gonna be mad if she is confirmed as cis I just feel like it’s a very good opportunity for the writers to show really good Trans representation but if she isn’t she’s still a Trans Ally and I’m glad it makes Transphobes mad 😊

Dude I'm going to be real with you if it wasn't for the Protect Trans Kids flag, and the color coding in her big allegory speech, the fandom would totally be saying that she's a lesbian, given they used the generic "queer allegory speech". But honestly she's just queer coded in general, so my personal headcanon is that she's bi and the Peter from her universe is a trans guy, the flag she has up in her room she made to attend a trans rights rally with him.

I think that race and sexuality headcanons should be done for fun or personal comfort of the person and not just to go against other headcanons or to “fix it” it implies one race is better then the other. Also it often takes away representation of other people. I’m indigenous and Mexican (mom indigenous and dad Mexican) and I headcanon pinkie pie as those things. Of course you can be black and those things but I am light skinned so I make pinkie pie light skinned and been attacked for it. I have hair much like pinkie pie. I love black pinkie pie but I think it shouldn’t be used against other peoples head canons thank you for reading

Honestly, headcanons are just fine and are fun for the most part. There are a few, however, that are unnecessary and uncalled for.

[@waffie6785]

That's an interesting question you've got there. I'd say it depends. It's always fun to have your own perspectives and interpretations of a character, and I think there's no harm in making headcanons to give a fresh twist to a story or character. However, I also believe that sometimes people can take headcanons too far, to the point it becomes more like a fantasy or an obsession. Maybe that's where the real issue lies. also i LOVE your voice and video keep up the phenomenal work!!!!

8:15 when thinking of misguided gender headcanons, mizu definitely comes to mind. i remember having a conversation with someone online who headcanoned mizu as a trans man, and they’d be blocking anyone who tried to speak on how the headcanon was problematic. when asked to explain, they pointed out how mizu used he/him pronouns and never corrected anyone, completely disregarding that she was forced to live as a man purely for her own safety, that she’d more than likely be murdered purely based on her gender. at a first glance these headcanons could also be read through the lens of it being based on masculine woman = trans stereotyping, but that also ignores the fact that mizu was literally at her happiest when she was married and living as a woman. although i think it says something that although their stories share similar themes, mizu is frequently headcanoned as trans whereas you never see the same in her more traditionally feminine counterpart akemi. and again, even if i can see how some elements of her story could be relatable to the transgender experience (e.g binding, using different pronouns, etc) she did it because SHE’D LITERALLY BE KILLED IF SHE DIDN’T. overall, i feel like the whole headcanon just really misses a big point of the show, that being the injustices and lack of rights for women in the time the story is set. simply writing all that off by just saying ‘mizu is trans’ is both ignorant and outright disrespectful to the very real stories blue eye samurai was meant to portray.

When it gets treated as Canon or what the writers "totally" intended 3. When it's a redesign/ rewrite that gets labeled as a headcanon 4.

[@numynum]

So! I have a fun story about this. I used to be one of these ppl who cared waaaay too much abt art headcanons and it basically stemmed from 1)radicalization 2) cringe culture. I grew up during the time it was complety ok to just take people's o.cs redesign them and claim them as your own if you didn't like the artist for whatever reason (see AkaiDahlia and PrincessElizabeth13) and the fear of that happening to me became severely deep rooted so much so like with many perpetuating thea most toxic sides of cringe culture. Anything that wasn't conforming to canon or (which at the time I didn't know exsisted but tried abiding by bc of these ppl) conservative values was bad. It was AWFUL I was miserable because of this because I wouldn't let myself or others have fun. After growing up a bit and learning to not care I realized how much more fun being self indulgent with fanart is. Sure it might not be canon, but it's fun! If people aren't drawing something illegal why should it matter what they headcanon? Let the SP boys be a little gay, Link from Zelda a little trans or something wacky asf like idk the Pelican from Nemo fucking loves caffeine. Art in all forms should be first and foremost about self expression! And denying that is to deny art in of itself Let loose and have fun yall!

I don’t like when people take it too far and completely change the character. I also don’t really like when they insert their self as a character (like in South Park). My point is that head canons can be used, but I don’t think they should change a character too much.

When I started the Magnus Archives I thought lonelyeyes and their six divorces were cannon, I was devastated when I realised it was fannon

[@rubymoon72]

I also see people headcanoning characters being gay or les and harass artist drawing those characters being straight ect. Like cant a character be bi or pan for everyone be happy and not harassed.

[@NerdialYT]

Right? Idk and the hatered people get breaks my heart. I was in VC and someone made a rp sheet of Sombra and he was straight on the form and someone in VC started to rant about how much they hated that they made Sombra straight and wished the person who made the Sombra sheet would off himself. The fact someone hates another sexuality so much to the point of thinking of harming others breaks my heart. I just wish everyone knew were all not perfect and we're all different. I wish people would beokie with things even if they don't agree :(

[@kyubeyo]

Yeah dude, it’s upsetting to see. It genuinely annoys me when I, as a gay man, ship sum straight and another person gets all mad over it, bc they ship that character with a person of the same gender (they usually deny my sexuality bc of it as well). I see it happen the other way as well, and it upsets me (esp since I’m a multi shipper 🤑). Honestly, I don’t necessarily like bi/pan hcs on characters I project onto, but it’s fine bc their sexuality is usually ambiguous and I can see the hcs. I don’t think characters should be bi/pan to make everyone happy though, not just for the reason I stated, but I know that sadly nothing makes everyone happy.

[@Weeping_Roses...]

27:07 Yaay, That's me! I honestly enjoy and love hearing about what other's think about this topic! I feel like my comment was a tad bit, weird now, cause I say that at the end. But, I've enjoyed the horror side of the MLP fandom and how people made the crew very psychotic. So, That could be a flaw, but then again, that's more of an AU the a HC

[@NerdialYT]

Imo, it just depends. I dont mindpeople doing headcannons but the issue i have is when its starting to be forced. For example, if someone made a headcannon as pinkie pie as black thats fine. But say someone else headxannons her as white but the person who headcannons her as black cones and attacks that oerson because of their headcannon even though theres no real cannon to what pinkie piecould be and the closest thing she would be is amish. I also kind of dont like headcannons when they go against the cannon. Like say a character is only straight or only gay confirmed but someone comes in and start to change things about them like their sexuality. I also hate when people get violent about it too like "no they would date >:(" even though theres no chemistry. I got attacked befuase my headcannon is pinkiepie would be skinny and honestly healthy due to how much she constantly moves and biunces. But then a hoard of people who head cannoned her as chubby would start attacking me and calling me names and even telling me to kill myself, thatswhen i draw the line. Like its not okie to attack someone like jesus. I do believe even if it is your headcannon, people SHOULD be allowedto say what they feel and if they dont like it. Mainly express how they feel about it, and i think that should be okie even if someone doesnt agree. I also wanted to note rq, i really dont like the "race coded" thing personally, mainly because it heavily raises and makes stereotypes more of a problem. Like say someine grew up poor and had to work non stop to hekp their druggy mother, sone would stereotype thst as one rajse when in reality. Most races go through it. Because were all human. We all live a life. Your skin tone does not determine your life and actions. Same with the word poc. Poc is such a dumb word and so.. separating

This video was quite good! I honestly tend to instead of raceswap make the characters half something, one of my fave cs are Dazai (Bungo stray dogs) being half latino, since i am latino myself i like to hc him as half chilean, but i agree a lot with you! most of my hcs of him are just me seeing myself in him

[@falcon_arkaig]

Everytime someone mentions Mha I feel like crap bc i have a lot of hearcanons for probably straight cisgender characters. For example, I headcanon Kirishima as a trans man bc I relate to him and his struggles of wanting to be "manly" (as a trans man myself) and being super insecure. I'm not gonna say he's canonically a trans man but it's disheartening seeing people hate on it so much. Also w/ the whitewashing/ blackwashing thing, ppl in the Mha fandom sometimes draws the canonically Asian characters black. Im not Asian or anything so idk if i can say anything, but it feels so icky redrawing an Asian character as black :(

[@falcon_arkaig]

Btw I know Black Asian ppl exist, I'm mostly talking about ppl taking already East Asian (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, etc) and make them black. I do wish Anime represented other races more however and can see why people do it.

[@thelingeringartist]

I wouldn’t use the word “icky” in tangem with describing redrawing a character black… not an attack!!! Just might read as a bit odd or questionable to say.

[@falcon_arkaig]

@@thelingeringartist Well. I just don't understand why someone would wanna take away Asian representation and redraw them as black. I'd rather see more black characters in Anime, yes. I know many East Asians don't like it when ppl "fix" anime characters by making them black. It seems like redrawing a person of color as another person of color, which doesn't feel right.

[@NerdialYT]

Dude I know who you're talking about. The lady who made black deku and Muslim froppy?

[@falcon_arkaig]

@@NerdialYT Yeah. Tho she was a troll probably, so I wouldn't say she did it bc she genuinely wanted more representation in anime. She did it to get a rise out of people. If ppl are drawing themselves as an anime character I don't rlly see an issue no matter which race, but redesigning an Asian character to be another POC bc "it's better" is weird.

[@xRandom.editsx]

Personally ive always seen pinkie as white (probably bc I was a white kid with blue eyes and curly hair) so i think i kind of saw my own appearence in her but i do think pinkie being black is a really cool headcanon Edit: to add i mean i also had blond hair (Its darker now)

[@stagicide]

an example of a character where gender/sex plays a part in their story is margot verger from nbc hannibal! a plot during the show was her literally trying to get pregnant in order to get her families fortune💀 shes also a canonical lesbian, and ive seen SO many people say shes bisexual because she sleeps with a man (for the previously mentioned pregnancy)

[@siabugg]

[@Imytheone]

Most of the time when I make headcannons I project parts of myself onto characters, (I don’t force these headcannons onto other people) as an autistic person who struggles to identify my own thoughts and feelings sometimes, it has helped tremendously in helping me discover and understand myself better

[@supercoolmaniajon265]

The way I see it, the skin colours the ponies have in Equestria Girls is their canon skin colour, and their races are either unicorn, pegasus or earth pony. That's what I think at least. A headcanon basically.

[@goblinzer0769]

This reminds me of how some people headcanon Shiver in the splatoon community as trans, I don't have a problem with it at all infact i love it but some of the reasons i see artist for doing so is cause she's wearing a chest wrap when Shiver is based off the Japanese culture and the women would wear chest wraps to flatten the breast when wearing a kimono and im not sure but in that way of artists just saying she's trans because she wears a chest wrap rubs me the wrong way since its more of a traditional thing, but then again im not so sure so maybe its just me.

[@epicMicrowavve]

My favorite headcannon is that Edward Scissorhands is non-binary:) I’ve met a lot of fans who agree but some random i meet get mad, like, it’s a headcannon, I’m allowed to have it. Also, I have actual reasons too! Like let people have fun

[@worldtravels7187]

Yea, hcs are fine as long as it wasnt created with a negative intention. One of my hcs is that Romilda Vane from Harry Potter is actually black-white idk how to explain it. I always pictured her like that when reading the books and the overall darkness of the movies made me think she was black. When I found out she was white, i was actually kinda shocked lol..

[@AngelCakez]

Headcanons are pretty cool! Sure I don't agree with every single headcanon of a given character, but at the end of the day they're just interpretations from an individual and how they view said character. That said

i really dont get why people hate headcanons sm. like just let me make Kyle chubby and short, everyone keeps getting mad about it cz people say "kyle is the the tallest" THERES NO FUCKING CANON HEIGHTS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@Cerulean13]

for me personally i love projecting on to any character i like. many times i just really see myself in them and relate with their experience. which has lead to me headcanoning soooo many charcaters as bi (not any characters that are canonically les or gay ect though) and this is probably a hot take here but i really don't think there's a problem with lgbtq headcanoning canon straight characters. the difference between canon straight characters and canon gay characters is there's so little lgbtq characters while there's tons of canon straight characters. i don't think it's a problem if some people headcanon them as something else since there are already so many straight characters out there for straight people to feel seen by. my only exception is if their sexuality plays a large role of the story and is integral to the plot. (not just like a running gag of them being a simp or smth like that ex. sanji) ++ also this is just a rule of thumb for anyone but NEVER force your headcanons on people, so much in fandom i see people saying "YoU CaN'T sHiP THAt thIs chArACTeR IS ________". also pleaseplease respect authors, showrunners, mangka ect, and never harass a creator over a god damn headcanon you heathens

[@Unkn0wnEntity666]

I agree with some head canons I find on the internet. But I do remember being called a white washer only two times because of a character from a show called Rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles So when I was 13 I had a TMNT phase and rise of the TMNT was my absolute favorite especially the villains, I drew them so much giving them backstories, sexualities, ect. My favorite one to draw was Hypno the magician mutant hippo, I loved drawing him in my human style and I loved it. Until one person said to me "literally Hypno is black why did you make him white" I see him mostly as Mexican, and I told the person about it and they said "well in the show he literally has black skin" not really but that's my opinion. I did another drawing of him and my Sona and yet again saying that I white washed him. I didn't know at the time so I was confused but now I know

[@zigaudrey]

Headcanon is a fan activity to expand the character or show their own view. BUT making headcanon that have nothing to do with the story or the theme of the work is frustrating. It's common to assign any sexual orientation on the characters 7:15 but there are more to explore than this. 1:25 This too. Fan would ship everything even if the canon say otherwise. 5:13 The Mayor claim they are heroes but do nothing to save the Mane 6. Would be best if Twilight present us Ponyville. 6:27 Fixing imply that the artist doesn't agree with the author vision. This imply that he/she don't like the author. 7:46 Ha, you are redesigning C. A. Cupid! 21:38 Pretty much in a nutshell 27:42 A character or a series has an intention, CONSIDER IT!

[@crypticoolkid]

my only issue is when u dont say hc on ur headcanons. like i fr saw someone saying "rodrick facts!!" and said "he is a homosexual and he is transgender and actually uses she/they/xe pronouns!!" and nowhere, not even the caption, did they put "hc" or "headcanon" and they got mad that they got hate for it. like pal, you said that as if jeff kinney decided that, not a 13 y.o. on tiktok. so yea, if u have headcanons that go against what the character was written as, (rodrick is OBSESSED with women) please put the fact that its a headcanon bro its quite confusing for new people in the fandom 🙏 btw i have nothing wrong w that headcanon, but i dont personally agree with it 😭😭 edit: the creator meant homosexual as liking men only, along w being a transfem im pretty sure. cuz they drew him a bf so idk 🤷‍♂️

[@baby_carrot_art9006]

That's also why I usually clarify it on my posts, and on top of that I noticed a lot of people on tiktok tend to misunderstand things and start arguments because of it💀 I think on one of my MLP tiktoks I forgot to do that and someone said "you literally just made up your own versions of them and drew them in your style :|" Like yeah??? Context clues???? T___T

[@AAAARFGGSGSG]

sigma from BSD gets head cannoned as mtf ( or other way around ) a lot! some people who disagree with the hc say its just because he has long hair, but most who hc him as trans say its just to project/relate with one of their favourite characters !! ^^

[@LillyanaDuff]

Usually for me, when it comes to headcanons, I find a character quirk I like and build upon it, that's mostly it, and if I want to change the story of a franchise I like, I just make an AU instead of trying to squeeze my version of the story into canon

[@LobsterIrlReal]

Oh my god, thank you so much for the section about keeping cannon sexualities cannon and not changing them. A personal example I know is Paintbrush from Inanimate Insanity, a character who literally had gender dysphoria presented in the show, and some people still hc them as being male/female (not in the assigned gender at birth way, just the "they are male" kind of way). It's kind of infuriating.

[@GensChilledCola]

headcannons are totally fine to me as long as it matches with the canon (such as personality or backstory) and that you recognize it is a headcannon, though I must say sometimes when a character is very clearly coded with a certain identity, and people just ignore it, it does bother me but I just move on a big example is how in the dr. stone fandom, A LOT of people ship senku and gen, which bothers me in 2 ways, 1) senku is very clearly aroace coded, even saying/expressing in several occasions his lack of romantic interest, and 2) Gen is flamboyant and it almost feels icky how some people will depict him (they will make him very submissive and feminine despite canonically him being a manipulator and flamboyant doesn't equal feminine) I really wouldn't have a problem with this ship if the characters weren't so misrepresented, ofc I may be a bit more into this because I love dr stone and I related to senku so much as a preteen who was really into science and just discovering I was aroace (and a bonus of some gender envy from gen) tbh I just really like to stick to the canon as much as I can, and my only headcannons are typically based around subtext in the character(s)

[@Wooble_Deathnote]

My mlp headcanon is Flora Dew and she’s trans and she lives in the everfree forest and she’s an alicorn you can comment if you want the lore for that. I hate when people say “headcanons are weird and cringe” it’s weird.

[@pkjose1343]

Headcannons are a real mixed bag for me. I like some but I dislike a LOT of them. For me, the intention really matters whether its design, race, or sexuality changes, etc. I usually don't like a lot of the headcannons I see due to people either being annoying about it, or claiming it as canon and the ONLY way to see it and if you interpret it as anything else, you're wrong and racist or something something phobic. But I immediately block or ignore those people because there's no point in having a discussion at that point. It's especially bad when some aspects of a character are purposely up for interpretation. Sometimes its fun to watch both sides go at it on any headcannons but it gets really messy real quick (looking at you Hoyoverse fandom). I have my own "headcannons" on certain media but I don't go too far at all. I also either keep them to myself or talk amongst my siblings and best friend. Going online about it is a death sentence in certain spaces. I do have my own personal opinions about headcannon but my general thought process is that there's a line between an interpretation and just rewriting the character. There are tons of people (mostly teenagers) online that just slap on whatever random traits to a character and then claim its "just headcannon" but usually by that point...that's just an OC with the skin of the character you like. Like do what you want, it doesn't matter at the end of the day, but you might as well just make a fanfic or an OC instead of using headcannon as a shield to avoid/dismiss differing opinions. But that's just what I think. But anyway, for the most part, if its just for fun and you're not being toxic, I don't care. I think obsessing over headcannons as well are just...yikes. I tend to avoid and block stupid people so I run into them less often luckily.

[@epsilon-6thevillageidiots143]

Honestly, I don’t care much about mischaracterization Everyone is going to view something different from a character based on who they are and what their life story is. Sometimes people like a characters design but not the character themselves and make up their own version of said character, which I think is fine especially if it also helps them like that character more than they would Characters and stories are meant to be interpreted in ways that resonate best with who it reaches, and if that characterization is radically different than what the author was going for I don’t see the problem, I do that sometimes for characters I love the design of but hate the character of or have things I want to change and all it does is help me get more into the fandom then I would Now of the character has a certain message it’s meant to portray, then that’s where it gets tricky. If the character portrays that message badly or in a way that is hurtful, it makes sense why someone would try to change it in some way in their mind. However, if it’s more of a neutral and or actually good take on a topic, especially if the topic is serious, then that’s where things get bad since it could erase the representation that character gives through themselves or how they treat others (like for example, Valentino from Hazbin Hotel. He’s an actual sexual abuser, obviously I’m not gonna take that away from the character because it’d be erasing that these types of frankly awful people exist in real life)

I love headcannons for most of the reasons you said. Get the creativity juices going. It adds more to a story and gives more to enjoy. I'm personally indifferent to a lot of headcannons unless they're based on stereotypes, heavy on sexuality and neurodivergent headcannons. I'm a lesbian and autistic, I can speak on both. I personally headcannon Nancy wheeler from stranger things as autistic since she has similar symptoms to me, and I connect a lot with her character. So I don't mind when people headcannon characters for similar reasons like that :]
