This is what gets me most frustrated about fandom too.

I've seen so many glaring mistakes perpetuated throughout fandoms as though it's irrefutable fact just because "Oh well, a BNF said it so it must be true!" that I've given up expecting people to give a fuck about accuracy. No one stops to question whether that BNF might be wrong, they just turn into a mob of sheep who attack the people who question the BNF instead.

I don't mind headcanons, provided people recognize them as such, but in the same vein so many people take on certain headcanons as though they're true canon and suddenly all this bullshit is showing up in fics - or worse, meta, and it's most definitely not presented as interpretation - as though it's concretely part of canon.

I suspect its a combination of relying too heavily on individuals as sources, and that most people seem too lazy to check out the facts for themselves (and that, lbr, is a wider problem than just fandom's).
