On one hand, fanon that you don't see being treated as obviously true is utterly infuriating.

On the other hand, isn't fanon fascinating, though? Thousands of people aren't necessarily even directly talking about it trying to negotiate a consensus on how we paraphrase what happened and then using it to assess how canon compliant fic is. Come on, that's gripping.

I might be more inclined to find it fascinating if it wasn't consistently true that general fanon has little in common with my interpretation. If I were trying to be different, that might be gratifying. But seeing as part of what I'm hoping for in fandom is stuff in common, the fact that most people's interpretation is mutually reinforced into quasi-canon status is alienating, far more than it's interesting. Running into lots of people who are so far into their fandom's shared culture that they literally don't remember what is and isn't in canon gets obnoxious, fast.

Just ask anyone who's had cause to utter the sentence "we don't have proof thaf Orochimaru's a pedophile." Hell. Ask all the Orochi cosplayers who are sick of being harassed over it, and the Kabuto players who don't share the headcanon about those two being gay for each other. I don't fall into either of these categories, but I think it's really dickish that in a series where a significant part of the male cast reads explicit het, and one of the hero's mentors spies on naked women, it's the obsessed-with-his-work villain who gets the most crap for being a pervert. He's weird and ostracized, yeah. But if you were carrying out deadly experiments on kinapped subjects, that would reason enough for most people to shun you. /end rant, sorry.

*not the OP, if that needs clarifying.
