I mean, I can kind of see what you're saying. The idea of "it should become canon" isn't new, certainly, but it has risen in popularity and is the main way of thinking in a lot more circles than it used to be. And I can see an argument being made that it's result of mainstream people getting into fandom but not really understanding what fandom is/was or just generally having a different mindset than the more non-mainstream nerd historically has.

The “normie” influx happened during the pandemic though and I saw this behaviour start and gain more traction during the 2010’s, so I don’t think it’s on them but on the kinds of people who have always been like this getting access to creators through social media in the ways they couldn’t before.

Naw, I think the "normie" influx happened way before the pandemic. The whole fourth wall fandom out in the open started probably in the 2010s and then the rise of Twitter. But you could be right that the minority got louder with access to the creators and actors. Or could be a bit of both.
