It's all fucking made up. Some made up things are more consistent than others, but that seal of officiality doesn't really change thing.

Caring about canon, plot, lore, whatever it's a sign of low IQ. It's fiction, it doesn't matter. Videogames are toys and gameplay should always come first.

>write a good creepypasta

Yeah kinda. Most fan theories are just treated as canon by the theory crafter and then get passed down as such by the ignorant.
>>738740715
>Stop being invested
Actual low IQ post right here.

I see it like this.

Caring about "Canon" is fine if it is just about consistency and seeing that consistency as enjoyable making you invested, Caring about "Canon" is faggotry if you are unable to accept that it is mutable because it is fictional. Anything not made by the original Author(s) is fanfiction, even if it is made with the blessing of the "IP Holder" or even the original Author.
Canon in fiction has no intrinsic value outside of a personal enjoyment of it (and its consistency).
Non-Canonical Fan creations can surpass the original.

Canon only actually MATTERS in religion, because it posits that its Canon is what happened in REALITY, not that it is a story.

'muh lore' faggotry is annoying and Star Wars and Fallout fans do it a lot.
>>
>>738747338
OG Fallout had cool lore

>>738747338
I'd say Star Wars fags were actually pretty chill about it in my experience in the 90ies and 2000s up until like the second Clone Wars Cartoon, autistic yes but not that annoying, that stepped on some toes, Course that all changed when the Disney Nation Attacked, that shit made people very pissy and very polarized very fast, which sticks to this day.

Personal experiences also obviously don't amount to universal truth, wasn't exactly terminally online in the 90ies after all.
