Yes. There's a difference between "one can write plausible slash about this character" versus people who are fixated on their interpretation either being canon or becoming canon.

I don't care that my slash OTP isn't canon. There's something annoying and creepy about people who willfully and consciously misinterpret what is shown on the screen.

There's a line where wishful thinking crosses over into self-delusion, and while I can't quite describe it, I know it when I see it.

Just write whatever you want and ship whatever you want, but insisting that it's canon makes you look dumb, childish, and not all there.

I love reading/writing my slash ship, but this ship was jossed years ago, in terms of canon, and that doesn't stop me from enjoying it or shipping it.

I side-eye the people who are like "X/Y is totes gonna happen for real!!!" about their clearly-not-canonical ships, even while the evidence against this prediction keeps on mounting. It makes you look irrational.

I recognize that my ship is not canon. I just slap an AU on my fic and write whatever I want. There's something teenager-ish and off-putting about this giddy, starry-eyed, "Totes gonna be canon!!!" attitude.
