This Is A Dangerous Train Of Thought To Me Mainly Because Of Two Reasons:

This is a dangerous train of thought to me mainly because of Two reasons:

1. "canon is only a suggestion" I get what he's trying to say here but if you are writing a character with an already established personality OF COURSE IT MAKES SENSE TO EXPECT THEM TO BEHAVE LIKE IN CANNON.

Obviously there is room for interpretation but there's a difference between interpretation and writing an entirely new character and claiming they are one from canon (for example imagine I make a stp fic where contra is super serious and follows every order he's given and thinks he's the best of the voices)

2. "You don’t get to stick your nose in their world and tell them “hey this is not to my liking therefore I think you’re doing it wrong” when you can simply leave quietly and move on to something else you may enjoy"

This is making some rather dangerous claims like saying that commenting on a piece of art that someone posted PUBLICALLY is "sticking your nose into their world".

That every disagreement or critique made towards a work of art is meant to be an attack to the objective value of the whole thing (assuming there's something such as "objectively good or bad things")

And that just because you can decide not to consume something you have no right to express any kind of criticsm towards it.

To me this whole post just reads as overly defensive and feeling like "overly attatched" to something you made to the point where every kind of criticsm towards it feels like a personal attack to you.

unless they specifically asked, you don’t get to tell a fanfic writer you think they mischaracterized the character by the way. because the second someone writes a fanfic about a character, that character becomes the writer’s own version of the character. canon is only a suggestion, but whether or not an author will follow it / how much of canon an author will take is entirely up to them. you don’t get to stick your nose in their world and tell them “hey this is not to my liking therefore I think you’re doing it wrong” when you can simply leave quietly and move on to something else you may enjoy
