The selective canon problem in this fandom.

It’s interesting how in fandom debates people suddenly become very strict about canon… but only when that canon benefits their favorite ship or character. Certain scenes or lines get treated like absolute law but the moment other canon scenes contradict that narrative, they’re suddenly “misinterpreted,” “out of context,” or just ignored entirely. You can’t claim to care about canon while cherry-picking which parts count and which don’t. If the story establishes something in multiple seasons you can’t erase those moments just because they make your preferred storyline look messy or inconsistent.

It’s fine to like a ship or character. Everyone has preferences. But pretending the writing is perfectly consistent and dismissing anyone who points out contradictions as “bitter” or “haters” isn’t actually engaging. Either we acknowledge the full canon even the inconvenient parts or we admit we’re just arguing from bias. Both are fine, but they’re not the same thing.

This sub be having me stressed 😂 and it’s not even funny. I be saying what the hell like 20 times a day 😂.

Oh and I’m prepared for the downvotes. That’s y’all thing nowadays lol.

Am I the only one who thinks the fandom talks very little about the fact that Liv killed someone just so Tyler wouldn't have to activate the werewolf curse?

Why was Katherine the only one that aged after getting cured?

Klefan obviously could never be endgame but I was lowkey hoping the writers would confirm that something happened between them in the 20s

I can’t picture Damon living a happy, human life

The first time he gets a cold and can’t breathe out of one side of his nose?

Loses a bar fight?

Gets a speeding ticket and can’t compel it away?

I don’t know. I don’t see it man, I don’t see it.
