Something I do think is kinda worse (but definitely less prevalent) than “fandom religiously treating fanon as canon” is when someone convinces themselves that something that is canon actually isn’t, and that everyone else is stupid when in actuality most people are just like… picking up on the very obvious and purposeful implications presented in the story that you have just refused to accept mean anything if it isn’t literally spelled out for you.

#fandom #this can apply to other instances in other fandoms but #specifically im thinking about people who have convinced themselves they are big brained for thinking ‘von k*rma’ wasn’t abusive’ like…#come ooonn #like yes the details of his abuse are left up to interpretation #he was not canonically physically abusive with Franziska or Miles #(though it’s not outside the realm of possibility)#but the pressure to be perfect prosecutors #the way failure caused Miles & Franziska to spiral SO MUCH #the way he treated Miles in investigations #the fact that Miles wasn’t suprised at all that his adopted father and mentor decided to prosecute him #the fact that Frazisksa was even allowed to basically put people to death at the age of thirteen #all of these are very canon in-your-face ways of showing what it was like to be raised by Manfred and none of it is good #like sure there are sometimes fandom interpretations on this that are probably worse than what canon is implying #and I don’t care if people like enjoy Manfred in whatever capacity #but someone doesn’t have to hit someone on camera for implications of abuse to be obvious #especially when not all abuse is physical anyways!!#I just hate the like… pretending the blatant ignoring of canon is somehow a dunk on fanon lol
