I mostly agree. It can feel really jarring when reading a fic and a character is really, deeply into something when not only is this not in canon, but it feels really out of character for this person.

However, I love it when the canon sources give characters (who live in the present-day real world) at least a little pop culture knowledge or make them fans of things other than classical music or classic literature. I can understand not wanting the whole thing to get too dated too fast, but I don't like when characters seem to live in a bubble (unless that's intentional). For example, I love that Joan Watson on Elementary has seen Manos: The Hands of Fate.

Man, I have never been interested in Elementary, and now I am. Goddammit F!S.

The episode where it comes up is called "T-Bone and the Iceman." It's actually a plot point that she's familiar with the movie, but it's only a minor part of the episode.

That is pretty awesome and as a connoisseur of bad movies, I approve.

Or Batman and Martian Manhunter having both watched Sailor Moon. Shame about how fandom them turned that one joke into a dominating feature of the characters for a while. That is the problem with giving a character a little pop culture knowledge, some of the fen then make that the sole entirety of their characterization.

What's funny is that Batman had that knowledge but an obvious Friends reference went right past him.

She also played console games as a child.
