I agree with this. Especially when it comes to shipping. I'm sick of people writing multiple essays and diagrams and whatnot over children's cartoons/comics. No, it's not that complex. The creator of Naruto was never actually "Shakespeare'

Well, I personally love multiple essays and diagrams and whatnot over children's cartoons and comics, and I think complexity is in the eye of the reader.

But it's one thing to see how much complexity you can mine for fun, and quite another to do it, then claim that the author really secretly intended it all along and that you're just intelligent enough to figure it out, and then get snotty at other fans for not "understanding" the canon, or what the characters are "really" like, because they don't think your interpretations are fact.

(There is a certain fan I know in Doctor Who fandom who does this exact thing.)

...does she by any chance comment on FS sporadically? I may know who you mean.

Yup. <_<

It's the "insisiting" part that tips it over the line for me from just people with headcanons to obnoxious idiots.

Have all the headcanons and interpretations you like, but you don't get to tell the people who don't agree with your subjective ideas that you're magically correct and they're wrong.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-07 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed. Believe what you want in your own space but don't be obnoxious in public.

Fucking this. Headcanon away, that's fine, but once you start insisting it's factual I'm noping the fuck out.

Oh God this. I get a delicious satisfied feeling when a popular fanon theory or ship gets jossed.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-07 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed. When I want something to be true in a work of fiction I imagine it to myself as a fantasy. I don't get the people who insist their ideas are the truth, I won't even mention ships because that's how rabid some fans can be.

*sigh* DAYD.... Blake even calls it HIS canon now, and compares himself favorably to Rowling.

Gold star for trying?

Text: Whenever I hear people insist that their stupid-ass fanon is exactly as canonical as the creator's official stated canonical meaning or elements of their work, it reminds me of this story.

I could have written this. In my fandom it's a pairing between two characters and even though the creators have stated they're not in a relationship it seems like half the fandom insists they know better very loudly and obnoxiously. Because they're a man and a woman and they work together so they must be secretly married. To the point where it seems half the meta discussion includes it as if it were canon. It's really really annoying.
