- People who don't like that XYZ happened and decide not to call it canon, because bạn don't get to decide what's canon and what's not. Canon is whatever the author(s) write. bạn could argue with it if the author(s) didn't/don't actually write the material but okay it before it gets published, hoặc if they say one thing about their story but the official information was never written in the series hoặc published as an extra, but if it's written down and published for the story bởi the original author(s), it's canon bởi default whether bạn like it hoặc 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 thêm male characters than female characters hoặc because, oh noes! These two characters of the same sex are super close but they're not officially a couple because the tác giả 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 tác giả lives in, where certain words and actions hold a different meaning to the tác giả and intended audience than to their westernized view - hoặc perhaps the meaning is understood bởi 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 hiển thị 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 nghề viết văn hasn't changed at all - bạn just don't like the choices a particular character made, and no, it's not "out of character" just because bạn don't like what the character is doing. bạn 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 nghề viết văn when it's not a romance series. In fact, I find it laughable when people try to build themselves up as an intelligent critic bởi calling it "bad writing" when they're obviously just being immature and pissy about a ship.
