#We did not suffer through the Johnlock conspiracy to be told *we’re* too confident on interpetations

It right pisses me off that people will see two characters and be like “look their cannonically a couple! They’re canonically gay and in a relationship! It’s canon!” When they’re just like… friends, but it’s seen as *fine* and *normal* and their dynamics are sometimes only given names in fandom in terms of this supposed canonical relationship

But when people instead dare suggest a character that’s *not* confirmed as being “cannonically aroace” people start clutching their pearls and crying about “B-But that’s not canon! How can you say it’s cannon! You’re lying! It’s just your interpretation of the character”.

It’s not the claiming of canonicity is it? It’s aroace people stepping in and messing up your idea of canon with alternative interpretations that are just as valid and canon as the common interpretation and you just don’t like that. Youse just need to admit you’re aro/ace phobic and move the fuck on.
