- People who don't like that XYZ happened and decide not to call it canon, because you don't get to decide what's canon and what's not. Canon is whatever the author(s) write. You could argue with it if the author(s) didn't/don't actually write the material but okay it before it gets published, or if they say one thing about their story but the official information was never written in the series or published as an extra, but if it's written down and published for the story por the original author(s), it's canon por default whether you like it or not. You're free to create your wonderful AUs, but don't delude yourself into thinking your work is "more canon" than the actual author(s).
- SJW who nitpick about how a series doesn't cater to their opinions on every social issue ever or, even worse, *attempt* to read between the lines and create a social issue that's not even present in the story. Yes, accurate representation is important and we should strive for it, but I think it's ridiculous to demonize a series because it *gasps* has mais male characters than female characters or because, oh noes! These two characters of the same sex are super close but they're not officially a couple because the author is homophobic! (No, they're not a couple because they're just friends, which is completely normal. Ironically, these people don't even see how they're insinuating that two people can't be close without being romantically involved, thus denying the existence of platonic relationships, aromanticism and asexuality.) It gets particularly frustrating when the SJW clearly don't understand the culture the author lives in, where certain words and actions hold a different meaning to the author and intended audience than to their westernized view - or perhaps the meaning is understood por any culture and the only ones who don't understand it are the ones who try to make an issue out of nothing. (A man vowing to look after/protect a woman?! That is so obviously sexist and not made to show that the man loves the woman at all; that's just silly!)
- "Fans" who trash the series after event XYZ happened/didn't happen and use "bad writing" as a scapegoat. It's true that some series go downhill at some point, but other times people just try to slap "bad writing" on anything they don't like. No, the composição literária hasn't changed at all - you just don't like the choices a particular character made, and no, it's not "out of character" just because you don't like what the character is doing. You can't scream "Not canon!" at a ship because of "bad writing", either. That's not how canon works; canon has nothing to do with the quality of writing. Also, a ship becoming canon usually doesn't have much to do with the quality of composição literária when it's not a romance series. In fact, I find it laughable when people try to build themselves up as an intelligent critic por calling it "bad writing" when they're obviously just being immature and pissy about a ship.
