#wish more ppl would get this
a pervasive and frankly borderline toxic issue in fandom these days is how popular headcanons are elevated to the status of being irrefutable canon and so insanely clung to and that when they are challenged, majority of fandom lose their damn minds and forget they was the ones to make the shit up in the first place
#im not a CANON IS END ALL BE ALL person at all#but once fandom gets locked in on a specific headcanon and they can find a way to weaponize a moral reason why it is SO#fuggetaboutit#and its EXHAUSTING to watch tbh#going into non-edit tags is like setting urself on fire#and im a FANDOM OLD and like lol it wasn’t always like this
#your headcanons might be important#they might enhance your canon experience by a fuckton#they might make all kinds of sense to you#but literally none of that makes them actual canon#LITERALLY NONE OF IT#and its exhausting to see ppl villified for not falling in line with certain headcanons
