Parallel to death of the author, I propose the term monofantheism, which is when fans get so enraged at a creator’s refusal to legitimate a particular headcanon that they forget having a plurality of headcanons is the *point* of fandom & declare the creator unfit to keep canon.

Likewise, it’s not queerbaiting if the fans ship a thing, ask the creators/actors at cons if they support those interpretations, and are told yes - AS FAN INTERPRETATIONS - but without any canon confirmation.

I also think there needs to be allowance for creators learning and improving over time. Someone who was a dick about shipping in 2009 might have since apologised and demonstrably improved by 2019, and ignoring that growth to hold a grudge is bad faith engagement.
