I have trouble understanding the whole "self insert" thing. I get that different people experience media in their own ways, and there's nothing wrong with that, but the "self insert" thing gets pushed as though it's expected to be the norm for everyone. It's weird.
All this is a product of girls.. boys wanna be batman. Girls wanna make batman be her. All the "self inserts".. this is a product of that.
