THE FANDOM FLANDERIZATION MEME

[elfstoned]

We all know how fandom flanderizes characters, but what if Save the Earth were a television show?

How would fandom get it wrong?



HOW IT WORKS:
Post a comment with your character journal explaining generally what the twisted and horrible fanon version of your character is. What less significant personality traits do they fixate on? How do the thirteen-year-olds on fanfiction.net write them? Who are they shipped with ad nauseum? What are they like in Omegaverse?

OPTIONAL: Reply IC to others' comments as your own flanderized fanon character, or feel free to have the real version express horror and disgust (or vicious amusement).

Have fun!!

According to the overzealous STE fans, Regina would be written as either A) a typical angry tsundere who says nothing but snarky things to everyone, B) a stereotypical Strong Independent Woman™ who needs nobody!!, C) sexy fanservice who gets placed into scantily-clad and/or tight-fitted gang outfits that show off her dragon tattoo (and there might be fanart of her riding motorcycles for some reason), or D) a Mary Sue to be used as self-insert for the female fanbase.

Or E) she gets written as a total bitch who cares about no one but herself. Nevermind that she has a soft side which she tries to keep under control...

Also, I can totally see her past life as a gang member to be glamorized by stripping away all her flaws and/or downplaying them so Reasons C and D mentioned above can happen. Either that, or they'll be used for the ultimate soap opera-esque factor for Regina.

Naturally, there will be porn of her, too. Lots and lots of it. See icon for why.
