Do You Headcanon Matt As A Non-white? I Ask Because I Remember You Thinking It Was Bad For People To
Do you headcanon matt as a non-white? I ask because I remember you thinking it was bad for people to headcanon t*ny st*rk as nit white, but if you headcanon matt as a non-white latine isn't that the same thing? Sorry if this seems rude im just a little bit confused!
Alright, where do I start with this?
Firstly, I do not have anything against non-white headcanons overall, especially if they’re made by poc fans. I am Ecuadorian. I like Daredevil. Daredevil being Latine makes sense to me. There is a post I’ve reblogged a while back that talks about how Daredevil being Latine and or Filipino would make sense in terms of how he was raised and add something to his family backstory. I highly suggest you take a look at it and see where I’m coming from and why I headcanon Matt as Latine in the first place:
Here’s the post
I don’t remember saying anything about having an issue with St*rk being headcanoned as non-white, but if you’ve been on my blog for long enough, you would know that I hate the character and that I am vividly anti t*ny st*rk and anti m/cu. He is a bad person. I don’t know what else you expect me to say. This is not a good comparison to make in terms of characters and where they’re coming from, especially when it’s a character I like vs a character I hate. Any headcanon added to T*ny to make him more diverse is already a no to me, especially when I’ve mostly seen these headcanons be made by white m/cu stans. Idk why anyone would want to headcanon him as non-white, but if they're a poc fan, then sure whatever. I hate the character but I’m not going to shit on their parade.
It really depends on the context of the character and why the headcanon would be made in the first place. Matt is a second-gen immigrant, raised Catholic, in a small apartment in Hell’s Kitchen with a single father barely making ends meet, and Matt loses his sight when he was a kid. As the post I referenced said, Matt’s story is an immigrant story, who tries to make it by going to school and lands a stable job despite the obstacles life throws at him. T*ny was born rich and wealthy, who has everything he needs, and is basically the Elon Musk of marvel comics. I'm not saying rich Latinos don't exist, but what's the point in making him poc. Another thing to mention is that Matt is the only Daredevil in his universe, the other versions being Fisk’s grandson and Darkdevil who are in different universes. If people want a poc Iron Man, Riri Williams is right there.
Also, a lot of people who headcanon Daredevil as Latine are Latine themselves.
Basically, I like Daredevil and so I headcanon him as Latine (Venuezelan with Columbian and Ecuadorian family members) because of how it would make sense for his character and family background. So no, headcanoning a lower middle class disabled man that tries his best to keep his city safe non-white is not the same as headcanoning a privileged, shitty billionaire non-white.
I hope all of this makes sense and clears up whatever confusion you had beforehand.

oh YOU’RE unlucky? my favorite character is completely one dimensional in fanon and every other person hates them
You can talk to me, I won’t judge you…
hanahaki is such a fraught trope for me because on the one hand i am 100% on board with the idea of characters angstily hacking up blood-soaked flowers but on the other hand i hate love,
controversial but i must say my truth: nobamaki also gives me a ton of unrequited love energy as well
itafushi gives me massive unrequited love energy actually
