Why did the Biotinker thing become such a common thing in fics
I don't really mean powers but kinda related, just the term and how it keeps getting conflated with certain characters.
Nilbog is one example. Dude is a master. Not a tinker. Yet it feels like every fic has a line somewhat like "The PRT/The Public hate and fear Biotinkers like Nilbog and Bonesaw"
And it almost always come up in relation to or thoughts of by Amy, despite it never really being a thing she thinks about in the original story at all. Amy's issues is with her dad and family life, she never really fears her full power set being exposed.
Really im just questioning why and how it became such a popular sentiment, when it never really was a huge big deal. Or maybe im forgetting something
