did this trend arise during the Tumblr era? I'm kind of old fandom (like forums, dedicated archive sites, quizzilla lol and FFnet), so I never really saw this. Is it across fandoms too? All I saw (and would write) were the disclaimers about how I owned nothing except my OCs lol

I'd say it actually arose in the Twitter era, overlapped slightly with Tumblr, and then started migrating over there in droves once Twitter became a steaming pile of Musky garbage.

oh definitely - and mainly from the Glee fandom (which had results as some of the ships had gone onto being canon during the progression of the show).

Then there was shows like Supernatural, Teen Wolf and Sherlock where 'queer baiting' the audience was becoming a thing via interactions through social media; mostly from Twitter since that's when people in fandoms twigged that they could directly communicate with show runners/writers/actors without any PR buffers - leading to either fandom folks either getting permission/confirmation that it was ok to ship a ship or feeling as if they could potentially pressure the creators to get their own way to 'make their ship canon'. Then there was that whole thing with Voltron where someone was threatening to release behind the scenes secrets if their ship didn't become canon.

Of course I can't claim anything about every fandom ever, but even this mindset developed in the few anime fandoms I had seen in passing like early Attack on Titan and My Hero Academia.
Then Youtube fandoms were a whole other thing that put independent creators on the craziest pedestals or some of the most intense cases of wanting their Real People Ships to actually become canon, rivaling only to whatever was going down with the cast of Supernatural fans at the time that lead to actual harassment through sites like Twitter.
