Totally get why it’s infuriating but it does look pretty cool. Especially when it’s so subtle you don’t notice it easily without a closeup.

          At some point, the people who run a thing no longer know what it’s about. At that time, I think it’s okay to ignore what is “official Canon”

          Disney killed the entire EU to retell the same story we already saw 50 years ago. As far as I’m concerned, it’s okay to ignore that. And I say this as a fan of Mando, and kenobi.

          Honestly there’s no point getting bent out of shape about it regardless of your stance on canon/not since it’s all made up anyway.

          Maybe the real Canon was the profit we made along the way.

            And I don’t. When you start deciding what is and isn’t canon all by yourself you end up fracturing the community to an enormous degree. Look at Star Wars. That entire community is filled with constant toxicity because of how hateful people get over disagreements of what is and isn’t real or what does and doesn’t “understand Star Wars”.

            The behavior fosters nothing positive because there is nothing positive about the basis of what you’re doing. If you are ignoring canon and saying “They don’t get it” then that’s inherently negative. Everything from then on is based off of a bitterness and hatred about what came before. You will always descend and spiral into some depressing group of people who are now believing themselves to be the sole deciders of what is and isn’t canon because they are the only ones who could possibly understand what (input thing here) truly stands for and is about.

            What you’re advocating for is just gatekeeping but about canon instead of fans. It’s… really gross behavior and frankly egotistical. Something can be canon without you liking it. Simply because you disagree with it doesn’t give you the right to say “Oh, no, I’m ignoring this as canon because it doesn’t fit with what I want” while engaging with the fandom as a whole. If you don’t like it and want to pretend it doesn’t exist, fine, but when you start going into full on discussions and injecting that bitterness and cynicism into it? That’s just repugnant.

            I’ll be avoiding that like the plague, thank you very much.

                What an astounding statement from a Star Trek fan. The show stands for peace, love, equality, nah. Fuck that. Hate everything around you and project negativity into every aspect of a discussion.

                Wow. Have fun with that.
