Do you want me to get lynched or something? Just kidding.
It is time to stop acting like fanon theories = canon. They are not and will never be canon unless they were proved to be canon over time.
Example 1: before MJ1 premiered I said a lot that Alma is a D13 native. During the press tour Julie confirmed this, therefore it is canon. Yes, I watched a lot of the press junket.
Example 2: people claiming Alma is actually from the Capitol. In truth there is no proof about this, therefore NOT canon.
Easy to see the difference right? Well, apparently this fandom has a hard time grasping this. And this applies to every single character. It doesn’t matter where you go, you’ll find theories everywhere and people acting like they are canon.
You can have all the headcanons you want, adapt any character for representation, do what makes you happy guys. I’m all in for that, seriously. But for the love of Panem, do not act like it is canon and get mad when people call you out on it. Yes, there is a lot of room for canon improvement, there’s lots of things I’d personally change but I cannot. Why? BECAUSE I DID NOT WRITE IT, I HAVE NO OWNERSHIP OVER IT.
I can adapt it. I can use piles of headcanons and AUs to write my own interpretation to my heart’s content. But that’s it.
