But that's so subjective. Just because you don't find Eames interesting doesn't mean anything about what other people will find interesting. Also, I think a huge part of fandom is taking sort of shoddy or uncomplicated canon and making complex, interesting stories and characters from it.

*nodnod* Agreement. And if that's what you'd said in the first place, I would have agreed. The thing I'm taking issue with in fandom is late is not "write more POC and women" or "stop being racist, sexist assholes," it's "stop liking white men," an attitude that seems to becoming more and more pervasive. And this post did smack of that, but I guess it's probably just your irritation at the other stuff presenting itself as disdain for all white dude fic--I am blanking completely on the words I mean right now, but basically I think I agree with you.
