No I mean "fanon". Canon is proven true by the writers, and should be taken as fact, Fanon is something that exists with in fanfictions only, and therefore does not in anyway affect the real canon storyline, and doesn't intend to. The idea of Dash or any of the characters being gay is fanon, it is in no way saying they really are gay, or is in no way intended to be an insult to the character. It is just that someone chose to make them gay in fanfiction. This is why it is pointless telling people to stop saying she is really gay, because no one is doing that. It's just fanon, not true, just something that people do in fanfictions, and is no different to paring up female/male characters. That's why I pointed out that no one gets what fanon is, otherwise we wouldn't still be arguing about Dash's sexuality (which is probably never going to be revealed one way or the other) and just accept that some fanfiction writers will pair up characters of the same gender. The point isn't that the characters are in a gay realtionship in the fanfiction, the point is that the two characters are in a relationship in the fanfiction, their genders don't come into it. This however may be my own view as to me, a guy and girl being in love, or two guys or two girls being in love is exactly the same thing to me.
