Re: Unpopular or Controversial Fandom Opinions

I think it's fine to dismiss the canonicity of "canon" couples if they aren't written convincingly.

Even if the writer says they're a couple, or they're married and say "I love you" but then the book/movie/show consistently shows them not giving a shit about each other, I don't consider it canon.

No! The author's word is absolute. End of Story!

I still consider the ship "canon", I just think "Well, this is some shitty, poorly executed canon".

I mostly disagree with you. But the Ted/Robin ending of HIMYM was so horribly written and so out of character that I do kind of dismiss that final and consider Barney/Robin and Ted/Tracy final canon for me.

That's like saying to a married couple that they're not really married because even though you saw them walk down the aisle and they've had a couple of kids, their interactions with one another just wasn't enough to convince you of their relationship.

No it's not. Because with real people there are actual real emotions involved.

Re: Unpopular or Controversial Fandom Opinions

And how are there not "real emotions" involved with a fictional couple?

The point is, just because YOU personally were not convinced of a couple's love for each other does not void the canon.

Twilight is a joke to me, and Edward/Bella are so over-the-top-stupid and their relationship poorly developed, but at the end of the day, they are still canon.

But doesn't "canon" mean that it actually happens within the existing medium - for a TV series, meaning we all saw it on our TV. That's canon. As someone else above said, that doesn't mean it's well-written, but if it happened on your TV, or movie screen, or on the pages of the original novel, etc., then it's CANON.

Of course, fandom has a long tradition of "words mean what I want them to", such as the ever-morphing "drabble", so I doubt anyone is going to arrest you for the misuse of the word "canon".
