I'm kind of new to TW, so: are the demographics really shifted that firmly into the camp of total fandom newbies? Because if so, it does make sense why there's such widespread faith that they're gilding up the plaque announcing its canon status even as we speak. I'm a veteran of several ships where it seemed like the entire freaking fandom was convinced it was practically canon already and could spontaneously morph into actual canon any day (Remus/Sirius, Mohinder/Sylar, Dean/Castiel), and after a few years of hearing the same arguments for why it's omg so canon you just start going, "Sure, sure." Maybe TW fandom doesn't have a large enough population of that kind of world-weary fan to cool down the general excitability.

SA

are the demographics really shifted that firmly into the camp of total fandom newbies? It's just a personal theory. This is because a) it's on MTV, b) the demographic is geared toward younger people who might not have been around for the discovery of fandom (like Buffy fans, X-Files fans, Harry Potter fans or Star Trek fans, where a lot of us got our start in fandom) and c) the popularity of het-ships like Scott/Allison and Lydia/Jackson.

I think that because the fanbase is young and new to fandom, that's why there is such a rush to defend Stiles as canon and push for it so hard that the 4th Wall is left in the dust. I've been here for a while too (hello there fellow Remus/Sirius oldschooler!) and I think as tempting as the canon label can be, the fears of how it might go down are so over whelming. I think people who have been in fandom a while see the the freedoms of practically canon.

Maybe TW fandom doesn't have a large enough population of that kind of world-weary fan to cool down the general excitability. I don't think so. I think that what happens is that you don't see wold-weary fans joining the conversation. We're like JUST WAIT. LOL. And we live in our own little pocket of fandom that a little less eating up whatever Jeff has to say hook-line-and-sinker. That isn't to say we're better than anybody who thinks Sterek should/could/will be canon. It's just that... we're more cautious possibly.

Your demographics theory makes sense. I can name at least one other big gateway fandom that's currently going strong, but that fandom is Twilight, and I'm not sure that's where you go to learn about having a non-hyperbolic relationship with a text.

I got my start in HP fandom by the way, omg memories <3

That isn't to say we're better than anybody who thinks Sterek should/could/will be canon. It's just that... we're more cautious possibly.

This also makes sense. Hell, I'd love it if it became canon, but like you, I'm not going to hold my breath or bet my mother's life. Anyway, thank you for sharing your ideas with me, you are wise.
