If I was a fictional character, how would the fandom misinterpret me?

Probably by deciding I’m a heterosexual woman or poooossibly actually a lesbian depending on when the story took place.   Or deciding all my relationships with women were merely experimental

Have me be horrible or dead a lot to ship my spouse with other dudes.

Strawman communist

Strawman feminist

Make me sexually dominant because of my job (am not, am really really reaaaally not)

Make me the mean one or decide I’m a morally unimpeachable woobie depending on shipping factions

Masculinize either me or spouse when shipping us together, because “there has to be a butch one” *gags*

Decide I’m unintelligent and have no character development because of how I look.

Take my sexual agency away from me.

Decide I need to be saved from my work

Misunderstand what I do for a living either making it horrible, awful and degrading or ooooh shiny ultra glamorous.

Romanticize my PTSD

Ship me with my abusive ex

Make my ADD cute and funny, so that I’m reduced to a series of “LOL RANDOM” tropes.

Decide I have no sexual boundaries because of what I do for a living.
