… do you get hassled because you do? That’s ridiculous
headcanons can literally be anything.
I personally have never had anyone come to my askbox and tell me that my headcanons for aro!Dean are bad or wrong or dumb but I have seen a few people who headcanon ace!Dean get told to they shouldn’t. I’ve also seen a few bloggers either imply or outright state that interpreting Dean as aro or ace or gay or literally anything other than straight or bi is wrong for one reason or another. I guess they all missed the memo about fandom being transformative and headcanons being literally anything you wanted them to be. (Or that personal interpretation and re-contextualization is common and literally the reason we have AUs.) (And, of course, Dean is just an example here. I’ve seen a bit of this nonsense with other characters as well.)
So, I haven’t been hassled (which I’m surprised by considering how vocal I am at times about my own headcanons) but I see it enough to make me mad. But yeah, it’s super ridiculous.
