The other person said that s/u is hated because it's not canon

Bullshit. They were saying it's hated because it wasn't canon and is now. Unless you're saying the giant shipwar existed back in pre-reboot TOS fandom, when they were both equally non canon?

(If it actually did I retract my comment, but I'm pretty sure that's not true.)

DA

Why would the existence or lack thereof of a giant shipwar in re-reboot TOS fandom matter here? Slashers will hate on women for getting in the way whether they're just a potential love interest or whether they're in a canonical relationship with one half of the OTP. This is an extremely common and well-documented phenomenon.

Many of Uhura's most vocal haters would absolutely not be so vocal or haterly towards her if the non-canonical relationship in the reboot hadn't involved Uhura + one half of their OTP.

Further, your hair-splitting distinction between "not canon" and "wasn't canon and is now" is so... hair-splitting. You're naive if you think that the most vocal of S/U haters are simply against it because the ship is non-canon or shoehorned in. And as ayrt pointed out, S/U was something that they hinted at and wanted to make happen in the original series but couldn't do because racism, and Nimoy and Nichols have both reacted positively to S/U.
