This. I don't keep up with what the creators are up to. And a lot of fandom hinges on the idea of death of the author in whatever form one interprets that. It's exhausting keeping up with panels and interviews and following all the social media accounts. I don't know how many times people have brought stuff up someone has said on Twitter as if I should know...I don't even use Twitter FFS. I believe works should stand on their own as well. If there are details missing from it that could've been included and are important to understanding the work but weren't well, sorry, you missed the boat I'm not reading your Reddit posts or keeping track of which magazines you've done interviews with. I'm just not.

But I agree her behavior isn't good, especially if it's obvious everyone is bothered by it. I'm sure she could find other like minded fans to circle jerk with. I'd err on the side of judging whether or not she's a misogynist based on how she treats other real life women though? Like, they're fictional characters and people say whack shit just to support their ships. It's not super okay but it's also not often as serious as anon makes it out to be. IME it's just bog standard ship wank that makes them like that.

“If there are details missing from it that could've been included and are important to understanding the work but weren't well, sorry, you missed the boat I'm not reading your Reddit posts or keeping track of which magazines you've done interviews with. I’m just not.”

This. That’s bad storytelling if the creator has to make supplementary material after the fact just to make the work understandable or coherent. Supplementary material is fine in and of itself, and can be a nice bonus. But if a work hinges on it because the creator couldn’t make the actual story work on it’s own, that’s really not good.

To quote SfDebris, "you don't get credit for stuff you didn't put in the movie, because, and try to follow me here, you didn't put it in the movie!". I one hundred percent agree on that. If it isn't in the canon, it isn't canon.

If an author or a movie maker wants to add additional stuff into their canon, looking at you Terfling, then they better write another story or make another movie so as to put it in there. It doesn't need to be a big production, a short story or an animated short will do, just it has to have at least a bit of narrative to support it. The late, great, Sir Pterry handled this brilliantly with his "Discworld Compendium", because the recap bits of the characters were just that, but when he added on to the canon the add-ons all had a little fragment of story, a tiny drabble, to add them into narrative canon.
