I honestly think 98% of these issues would not exist if fandom was less allergic to the idea of many readings coexisting at once. A single character and their story can safely be ready as many types of narratives and that's okay. Not all the readings are equally plausible and fins equal support in the acctual text or the author's stated intentions, but that's also okay. An interpretation can be just an interpretation and it changes nothing that some people diagree. Instead of coexisting and doing their preferred things, fans spend crazy amount of time trying to battle who has it right and who doesn't. what the hell is the point?

I think there wouldn't be problems if fandom wasn't allergic to the ideas of "Okay so this isn't canon but what about an AU."

AUs are fine and dandy until it's a queer one, then suddenly they're nonexistent.

Yeah, I though that's what the fandom is for - as many AUs and interpretations and you want, as long as there's someone to talk to or create for who likes it this particular way. Where does this need for getting you version ~validated~ as the correct one comes from?

NAYRT (although I'd mostly sign on with their post)

AU often is used to mean something that doesn't even slightly resemble what you're using it to mean here.

What fandom should do is get comfortable with the idea that, rather than having a binary split between Official Real Canon and everything else which is an AU or headcanon and doesn't count, you can have multiple different interpretations of a show or book at the same time, even multiple conflicting interpretations of a show or book at the same time. And we can look at those interpretations and mark how much they're actually supported by the specific details of what happens in the show or book. There's nothing wrong with that.

Framing things around canon / headcanon / AU is starting with the wrong question in the first place.
