Fair enough. I have never been particularly interested in shipping non-canon couples (and I have an amazing track record of being able to predict which particular pairings will end up canon even if they don't start that way). For me, the fun is in building upon and exploring what I see, not making up stuff from things I ~want~ to see, if that makes sense. But I agree that representation is not enough. I don't ship a couple just because they're canon. I need more than that.

AYRT and yeah, I can usually spot the Designated Endgame pretty early on. Sometimes it's good, but boy, I hate those times that I like a character and then the love interest is introduced and I KNOW, but I absolutely hate them... which for me is where non-canon shipping might come into play.

But for me also, like... I watch a lot of older media where I know I'm not going to get canon queer characters, and that changes how I feel about characters who are queercoded but not portrayed as openly gay/bi/etc, compared to how I feel when a current show or movie does the same thing. If I'm watching a movie from the 50s or a show from the 80s, I'm working from a different set of criteria, and if I'm watching something from the past decade, like... my standards are context specific.
