I haven't read the comics, but from what I heard of canon!Candace, she was basically a very minor character with little to no personality, right? If that's true, I can see why people use her however they want to.
Self-insert, though? That's a rather big assumption, and an uncharitable one to boot.

(like how rude? I haven't read any fanfic with this character but fandom really needs to fuck off about the whole self-insert / marry sue thing because fucking really??? Lay off, only the author know why they wrote a character or needed a character and so forth. Like there is so much fanfic I haven't written because it would have involved an OC and I know fandom loves to shit on those. This kind of sentiment really bugs me so I'm glad to see you calling it out when I didn't have the words to. )
