The key word here is "tumblr." This is the site which unironically reblogs discredited chain letters from the 90s. The "HIV petrol needles" has over a million notes.

When they come to fandom, they're very heavy on "death of the author." Most of the time characterization on tumblr feels like someone hollowed out a character into an OC. There's nothing except maybe the looks, that is if they don't subscribe to the type of fanon where they feminize a character.

No, see, this is worse then death of an author.

The dedicated fan with insane theories that cites them still draws on canon. A real stretch of said canon, but they observe it.

The tumblrs say stuff that is just wrong. If the text actually says this thing could not be, you have lost even that lose validity.

I like to snark that "Death of the author" should wait until the author is actually dead.

I have an SPN essayist (I use that word ironically) on my dash who claims that only unsophisticated people don't believe in "death of the author." I have to hold myself back from telling her that "death of the author" was already considered passé when I was in grad school for literature 20 years ago and our analyses were required to have more factual substance.

Look, the author IS dead. That's just observable. But it doesn't follow that "death of the author" is a magic phrase you can yell to justify any insane shit you want. Climate change is real too, but you can't say "I'm wearing my underwear on my head because climate change! Thanks Obama!"

It's the idea that 'what is not said' is as important as, if not more important than (more real than) 'what is said', the problem being that, in fandom, 'what is not said' is virtually infinite -- it only excludes what is actually said.

Tumblr is all that is wrong with the world. The last flicker of light before the universe is finally extinguished will come from a computer screen bearing only the image of a recycled gif set from 2008 and the words "This is Very Important."
