While we're talking about popular fanon character designs that people maybe didn't think through, as a butch lesbian I'm not quite sure how I feel about the fandom deciding Daisy is the only woman in the cast they'll consistently portray as masc? I actually pictured her as relatively feminine while I was listening because of that line about her enjoying having a "soft" flower themed nickname. Did we just decide Daisy is the token butch because she flies into murderous police brutality rages? Because that's not...great.

Yes on GOD!!! I’m almost certain I’ve already made several posts about this exact thing, but I can’t find them now so I’m gonna say it again.

Daisy canonically enjoys feminine things. But the fans wanted to squeeze her into a lesbian pairing, and since she’s known to enjoy violence, they all jumped to the assumption that violence = masculinity. Which is both mischaracterization in regards of her character and just straight up an AWFUL stereotype. SHE’S NOT EVEN A BUTCH IN CANON!

I just had a realization regarding TMA fan character portrayals in general. Gonna make a separate post about it
