Kids these days! It is a well known fact that nobody insisted their ship is totally canon and refused to admit otherwise before the 2010s. Modern fandom, modern problems. What is one to do?

[philstar22]

This has been a thing for as long as their has been shipping. Some people seem to think that a ship being canon makes it more legit, so they insist theirs will be canon.

[(Anonymous)]

It has always been a thing but I don't think it has been as mainstream or majority fandom mindset like it can be today.

[philstar22]

Do you not remember the Harry Potter fandom back in the day? Yes, it has been a mainstream fandom thing for a long time.

We must just roll in different circles then (I was not in HP fandom). Ive been around in fandoms since the 90s and never saw it as the majority of fandom until recently. Usually fandom kind of mocked those people.

[(Anonymous)]

I never saw it until recently either, though my ships are/were 99% gay, so the idea of them being canon was laughable on it's face. I'm starting to see it now that we can get canon gay ships though and I hate it.

[(Anonymous)]

DA +1, it was never a thing that bothered me until recently because the odds of my ships going canon were beyond infinitesemal. And I don't like it, especially as when my ships do sometimes go canon, it's nearly as bad as liking a female character who gets stuck in a het ship!

[(Anonymous)]

I wasn't in the HP fandom either but from my brushes with it I saw it as it was a few extremists and everyone else rolling their eyes. Now it feels like every conceivable aspect of a shipwar is "mine is more canon than yours."

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Het fandoms were the worst for arguing about canon. I'd say a majority of the arguing in het fandoms were about which was more canon or not. Cloud/Tifa vs. Cloud/Aerith anyone? IchiRuki vs. IchiHime? Even when both were literally canon at different points like Spike/Buffy vs. Angel/Buffy. Definitely not only extremists, this was standard for het

Slash fandoms missed it for obvious reasons.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm so tired of Cloud/Tifa vs Cloud/Aerith. I've been around since its conception.

[(Anonymous)]

It's always been huge, to the point of multiple fandoms having legions of tin foil hat type shippers that insisted ships either were canon or meant to be canon if it weren't for evil studio execs or some other conspiracy theory type things

[(Anonymous)]

Pepperidge Farm remembers The X-Files.

Though I think making it canon ruuuuuuined it.

[(Anonymous)]

It did. :(

Reposting a misfire:

Galadriel. Married. Celeborn. In. Doriath. In. The. First. Age. FULL. FUCKING. STOP.

anything in this stupid series is so far divorced from the source that they need to have entirely original characters in these "roles," not canon LOTR characters.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

omg how did I misfire so badly. Thank you case, I appreciate everything you do for us.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

What bullshit.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, they did say that in the show! She misses him!

[(Anonymous)]

I know they're not going to be endgame, but I'm not interested in dwelling on that fact. Maybe I've blocked you, lol.

[philstar22]

I love this show actually. But I'm a bit annoyed at how often this ship shows up even in things that have nothing to do with them. I now have to specifically exclude this ship when searching for Melkor/Sauron and Celebrimbor/Sauron, so a little frustrating. That being said, I do get why people ship.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah I've noticed that a subset of fans(in any fandom) who need their fanon ship to be canon have gotten louder in recent years, they've always been there of course but it almost feels like shipping for the fun of it is dwindling?

I have a lot of fanon ships and they aren't any less fun just because they're not canon, but it feels less like people enjoy their ships and instead they just want to be right and shove it in the faces of other fans. And honestly it's aggravating when I like a fanon ship because I have to dodge these incredibly aggressive and delusional assholes who flip their shit when they 'loose'.

[(Anonymous)]

LOL I don't get it either. Witnessed this with ships in children's media and it weirded me out how angry fans were that their ships didn't become canon.

Even with most canon ships, fanfics do a better job portraying the relationship than the canon material so I don't get why people are so pissed that a popular ship doesn't become canon.

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, do you guys think maybe this kind of thing seems more prominent than it used to be because young people are dating less? They feel a deeper need for their ships to be canon because they're loving vicariously through them to a greater extent than fans of yesteryear?
