"Canon has already established the canon English spelling, it's not up for debate".

This. This isn't my fandom at all, but it certainly annoys me sometimes when fans *insist* on needlessly "correcting" canon to make it more "accurate". I get it if there's a gigantic problem you want to deny exists (go for it) but... you also don't have to. Fixing canon's facts isn't a requirement. It's okay if you want to just go with it

Especially if canon isn't entirely wrong, fans are just being pretentious, making unnecessary work for themselves. Taking the "rules" of the real life version of whatever they're writing about so seriously that it becomes more important than the story itself.

Like back when everyone who wrote Torchwood fic was trying to learn Welsh, to write about a show where people actually didn't speak Welsh all that often (if at all). I don't care how good your Welsh is if the plot sucks or all the characters are OOC.

TLDR Canon creators can spell things however they want.

Of course, but fans can also choose something else for convenience sake, because sometimes the issue is not accuracy, but that the "correct" spelling doesn't work for some reason.

I say this as someone in Hunter x Hunter fandom. There's a reason not even official translations used "Wrlccywrlir" or any other official spellings, and I think it should be obvious why.

How... how is that supposed to be pronounced? Is it supposed to be pronounceable?

Only Togashi knows. The rest of the world just uses something actually pronunceable, Lucifer.
