Just Digimon Fandom Things (That should NOT BE Things & NEEDS to Stop)
Me, a Koushiro Izumi Fan TM: Koushiro [/"Izzy"] Izumi is a CANONICALLY Adopted TM character and this is IMPORTANT
other DigiAdv fans @ Me, vast majority of such coming from Bionormative mindsets or, rather, having subconscious views of 'the most 'normal TM' family is the one connected fully by blood/genetics': OK??? I mean I hate / Cannot Accept over 50~99% of Koushiros canon but idek I gUESS I can respect the fact he's adopted. I know! I'll override 99% of Koushiros backstory so the character goes as ONLY I IMAGINED him! FUCK canon(/Adventure[s] sucks)!!! I'm definitely treating this character / his canon respectfully & this is Not Obnoxious of me at all in any way whatsoever.
Me, Canon!Koushiro Fan BECAUSE he is Canonically Adopted...: umm Koushiro is someone who is canonically Not 100% Blood Related to His Family this is important TOO---
SAME Adventure[s] fans @ Me: Oh worm??? So hey OP What's It Like TM Not Being 100% Blood Related to your family??? I want to know so I can portray this character/situation respectfully! *continues to act exactly like the above*
ME, LONG-STARING INTO AN ETERNAL ENDLESS VOID:

No that is ALSO not the case and anyone acting this obnoxious needs to SIT DOWN)#(If you care about representing this character properly. You'll actually listen to us when we tell you what you're doing & Aim for Better)#(this is more of a general PSA regarding my own blog but tbh this is definitely an issue within this fan base overall and like Yeah)#(the literal least you could do is like recognize this character is canonically adopted and adoption and Not being 100 percent related)#(ARE NOT JUST CHARACTER 'TROPES' AND PEOPLE WITH THESE EXACT EXPERIENCES EXIST RIGHT HERE IN YOUR SAME FANDOM TOO.)#(ths NOT to say you cannot write about Koushiro or adventure or 02 but you HAVE to recognize how to treat adopted charas with respect)#(if you're completely ignoring him in your endless metas or shoving him aside or blaming him for everything in the story THATS NOT RESPECT)
