Tony thinks that the prop-Tony stories are something Team Cap did to undermine him
I forget who asked for this, but it made me chuckle because it makes sense. I doubt that the actual MCU character would like to be portrayed as an unrepentant rapist, torturer, or murderer--and even a person who gleefully commits a Wakandan genocide. It also makes sense that the character would hate to be seen as a helpless baby wandering Siberia in a diaper, which is pretty much how poor!woobie!Tony stories portray him.
So what might MCU Tony think if he actually read some of these prop-Tony stories?

Tony ran down the corridor and burst into the room. Rhodey and Pepper looked up from where they were chatting over coffee. Pepper asked, “What's the emergency?”
Tony waved the tablet in his hand and shouted, “They’re out to destroy me!”
Rhodey leaned back and asked, “Who? And how?”
Tony rounded the table and said, “Team Cap. They're ruining my reputation with these--these so-called stories. I'm a monster in them! I laugh while I torture people! I think it's OKAY to torture people! Or it's the opposite--they act like I'm some babe in the woods. They treat me like I'm five years old--and not even a very competent five-year-old. When I was five years old I was a certified genius, thank you very much.”
Pepper pulled the tablet to her and scanned the list of titles and descriptions. Then she shrugged and said, “Yes I've seen these. It's not Steve or any of the others. These are actual civilian authors. They're not out to get you--these are the works of your FANS. They worship you.”
Tony stepped back in shock. He said, “That's impossible. They’re making me some kind of insane sadist gloating at hurting people. Or a lot of them make me blubber like an idiot. It's like I’m some kind of sad boi who never had any friends or happy memories of my childhood.”
Rhodey focused on the tablet. He said, “Hey, maybe there's finally a fic out there where War Machine isn’t your lapdog.”
Then he frowned and continued, “Just ones that say apparently I betrayed and abandoned you. Who do they think was all alone in the compound while you were off living your best life?”
Pepper said, “I’m not sure why you’re so upset, Tony. Apparently some people think you need to be pitied, maybe to draw attention away from some of the awful things you do in the stories, like rape or murder.”
Rhodey said, “Or nuking Wakanda.”
Pepper nodded and continued, “So they make things up, exaggerate, and even outright lie. They like to pretend that your experiences are so much worse than every one else’s. The result is that you’re some kind of Woe Is Me basket case that sits in a corner with your thumb in your mouth.”
Tony's eyes narrowed as he asked, “But WHY?”
Rhodey said, “So anyone who ever disagreed with you--even when they’re actually right--can look like the Big Bad Wolf to your Innocent Little Lamb. And so people you’ve never met jump to your defense.”
Pepper added, “Plus they think that it makes you more bangable. I can't say I agree.”
Tony took the tablet back and stared at the screen, then he laid it down on the table, shook his head, and walked out of the room.
Rhodey and Pepper looked at each other. She said, “I think we broke him.”
Rhodey chuckled and said, “I'm pretty sure he can handle it. Even if a lot of his fans don’t think so.”
