      the latter has "headcannons," which are more feelings about a thing, understood as not making a truth claim and thus not subject to debate over veracity

      the fan wiki embodies the former mindset, the fan shrine the latter

      canon is objective, hierarchical, competitive. fandom is subjective, flat, collaborative

      in other words masculine- and feminine-coded. and the two styles of fan communities do tend to attract more men and women respectively

      back on politics, it's interesting to me the author of the piece closes by attacking this very view of the world as the worst of postmodern excess

      explicitly rejecting the idea "that there are no facts, only competing stories about the world" and tying this back into his worldbuilding dichotomy

      I like to refer to the mindset of viewing consumption/manipulation of storylines as equivalent to understanding/controlling reality as narrative poisoning

      but at the same time the world only really seems legible through the prism of narrative, there is of course an underlying "reality" but it isn't directly accessible

      and the fact that most people take their narratives to be reality means while reality-as-competing-narratives may not help describe reality it does help describe people

      and while you cannot control reality directly through narrative, you can control it through people by the instrument of narrative. what reality actually is maybe is academic

      anyway the competing political narratives that purport to describe the reality of current events can probably be better thought of as fandoms that believe they're canons

          I’ve fantasized about a TVTropes-style analysis of political narratives. There may be only a couple dozen primordial plot lines—possibly innate, as adaptations for chimpanzee troupe social dynamics.

          somewhat related, I was just now googling to try and find out why they added a doxology to dies irae and stumbled on this gempic.twitter.com/DSQrR54RFk

          Also, media often tries to build a canon by explaining the dichotomy between two fandoms (both sides, whataboutism, etc). Which might be interesting, but it doesn't necessarily get closer to reality.
