my gut tells me that whoever op is talking about is just tired of seeing their character pigeonholed.

I played a character who was of average intelligence but one time in canon another character made a joke about him being dumb and fandom latched onto it like it was his only defining feature. It was just a throw away joke line but then everyone with a touch of canon familiarity decided for me my character was an idiot. It got tired pretty fast.

Played a character who got designated by fandom as the cute, innocent cinnamon role despite that not really jiving with his canon characterization (he’s nice and under 6 feet tall so I guess that’s all you need), and it went really quickly from cinnamon roll jokes to full on infantilization of my character. It made him really unfun to play.
