It was like that back in the early 2000s with m/m and f/f ships too. People would compile pages of evidence about how their ship was actually canon, they'd write essays on how it was basically canon and how it was okay for them to ship it, how Word of God said something that totally supported their ship, it would be proved that their ship was canon by the end of the series, and so on and so forth.

I was mostly in X-Files and anime fandoms back then, but this was all over those fandoms back then.

Huh, I stand corrected then.

I guess I just wasn't in the spaces of my fandoms that were doing this, or I was shipping canon so there wasn't any need to prove it because well, it was canon. My earliest non-canon m/m fandom that I know did it was Dean/Castiel, but even then I ignored it and avoided those corners.

I must just be noticing it more these days with how fandom, especially on tumblr, just kind of ends up everywhere.

I don't remember seeing much of this in TXF fandom myself. But then m/m and f/f pairings were such a small part of the fandom overall that maybe you just had to be in those circles to really see it. Mulder/Scully was so dominant that I feel like you had to go actively looking for stuff that wasn't MSR if you wanted it.
