>>18774201I do know what canon means. It has nothing to do with fiction. The problem is term is being used where it wasn't meant to. A canon is a principle by which something is judged i.e the non-aggression principle is a canon, science is a canon. Its other meaning is holy texts everyone agrees are valid, like the Bible.
"Canon" is not something some asshole virgin Jap made up in Tokyo. You could say "the creator's version of events is always right", but that isn't a consistent principle because unreliable narrators exist.
>>18774212We accept that none of it happened and continue to put forward competing versions of events until everyone accepts the most logical and consistent set of events. Once this happens, there will be no more arguments, and the problem will vanish.
>>18774253It is canon because it happened on different saves or cartridges.
