If a comic is not contradicted by the show, it’s canon. End of story. Get over it.

Wtf does that have to do with the image…
All in all, y’all need to chill.

Heads up, I think we found that spiky blood pressure person you were thinking of earlier.
>you’re using language correctly
Topkek, you smartass literally think the Church is a “franchise”. Find me just one reliable source to back up your laughable definition. By the way, anachronistic usage of the term aside, the Bible or the writings of the Fathers aren’t “intellectual property” by any stretch of the imagination, so even your own made-up definition doesn’t apply.
Meanwhile, three times now BPs have removed the op is a duck tags that were added by a mod, so I don’t seem to be the one all a-tizzy here with my wild and crazy policy platform of “just use the word ‘continuity’ instead”. Once again, the only reason anyone is even arguing about this is because the people who incorrectly use “canon” are super mad that others refuse to hate IDW as much as they do, and want some way to claim that IDW is ~objectively~ inferior. None of this would even be an issue if the haters could be satisfied with simply saying “IDW sucks so I’m going to ignore it since it has no effect on the cartoon’s continuity”, but some people are just completely incapable of accepting that others are allowed to like something they hate.

Maybe you should be hiding them, too, instead of spiking your blood pressure every time someone dares to think different to your holy writ.
Can’t wait to see how they adapt to the events of the finale.
@TexasUberAlles
Almost as many people watch the comic drama tag as hide it. (15 vs. 22). The IDW drama tag isn’t much different.
Edited
Also, up/down ratios don’t really count for much on images a lot of users aren’t going to see in the first place; go check how many people hide tags like comic drama, image macro, op is a duck, and op is trying to start shit.
That being said, you’re welcome to disagree and go on a new rant. This was enough time wasted on one silly meme.

I know, and I completely agree, I just found the fact, that all the dictionaries I could find, are so outdated, entertaining.
Most dictionaries actually use holy texts as one of the definitions, but the word do not apply it to other works if there are more than one author, some actually only mention books, as possible canon.
“Canon” when applied to a franchise with multiple authors includes everything which is part of the franchise. That is in fact the original use of the word, since the Bible had, uh, several authors, and the original arguments over canonicity were about whether or not various texts should be considered part of the franchise.
Probably a bad example since the event
1; Was not a crossover event, so the different comics where kept separate.
2; It was always advertised as an alternate timeline/universe.
I do think most use canon interchangeably with continuity.
The show actually don’t fit the dictionary version of canon since it apparently have to be by the same author.
No– it is not “my definition”, it is the definition. And you keep falsely claiming to represent “everyone else”, so you apparently don’t know what that means, either, because your incorrect personal definition is absolutely not any kind of consensus.
Canon is the entire collected body of work of a franchise. Period Dot The End Full Stop. It is completely irrelevant that you have a personal definition you came up with because you wanted to exclude [thing you dislike] in a way that lets you pretend anyone who likes [thing] is Objectively Wrong™; your personal definition does not change the actual definition of the word no matter how hard you stamp your foot about it.
And yes, everything that has ever been published with STAR WARS™ trade dress is part of Star Wars canon, the same way that every Batman story DC has ever published– or licensed any other company to publish– is part of Batman canon; being part of a collected body of work has absolutely nothing to do with whether any parts of those body agree with each other or contradict each other. Disney deciding that only a certain group of movies and cartoons represent the real Star Wars and everything else is “B canon” or whatever doesn’t suddenly make the newspaper comic strips or the Dark Horse comics or the Droids cartoon suddenly Not Star Wars, it means they’re different Star Wars continuities that can be ignored or contradicted by the approved group of movies and cartoons and nobody has to bother trying to editorially fit them in.
…Just to be crystal clear here, all of this folderol is because you refuse to simply… use the correct word for two similar-but-not-interchangeable story settings within the same franchise, a word you already admit to knowing.
If we are using your definition of “canon”, then Rogue One AND the novel where it was revealed that the Death Star was sabotaged because Chewbacca took a nasty shit on the restroom are both canon at the same time.
There’s a lot of stuff from IDW that is contradicted by the show…King Sombra’s redemption, Chrysalis’ origin, Storm King’s entire personality, the whole Anon-a-Miss incident… and keep in mind that the MLP comic was part of the Deviations event, so by your definition of “canon”, MLP exists in the same canon as Transformers, Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Orphan Black, X Files, Star Trek, G.I. Joe, Mars Attacks, Popeye, Judge Dredd, and anything else that is part of the “IDW Universe”.
Bottom line: there’s a difference between “canon” as you define it and “canon” as everyone else defines it.
Edited
This is the same thing. Yes, TECHNICALLY, “canon” means “anything made by an official source”, but nobody uses it in that context. Everyone uses it to mean “something that counts as part of the official continuity”.
My point being, you are being overly pedantic, and no one likes someone who is overly pedantic.

Lmao, talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
You literally do not know what you’re talking about. Sorry, but repetition doesn’t make a quantifiably incorrect statement correct just because you keep saying it over and over again.
Edited because: And neither does hiding behind the ☑ Anonymous button
No. There is no other meaning to canon other than “in show’s continuity”.
I see your math skills are no better than your language skills, because not only do most people on this site actually know what the word means, at least three quarters of the people who belligerently refuse to use it correctly are clearly and unmistakably doing so because STOP LIKING THING I HATE over some story that got them heinie-harmed from the comics.
@northern haste
When people say Canon they mean that show’s continuity
Maybe they should try to learn what words mean before they use them, then? “Continuity” is sitting right there. It’s the correct word, and anyone who’s ever read a superhero comic already knows exactly what it means and exactly how it applies to the differences between the FIM cartoon and the FIM comics, which makes it really, really obvious what they’re doing when they intentionally walk around it to say “canon” instead.
The problem still isn’t that we don’t know that.
>Hasbro is literally the only one that decides what is and isn’t canon, because it’s the trademark owner and controls what gets published as part of the MLP media franchise.
That’s obviously not what 99.999% of people, including me, mean by “canon”.
