If you're not talking Invincible I don't wanna talk.

This one hurt, her work had such a profound effect on my life, thoughts, and politics.

May her memory be a blessing

That's just one example from one fandom, but I see it more and more. Just people blowing up and crashing out over something that I know didn't happen because I saw the episode or I read the book with my own two eyes and like wtf is going on??

Idk. Is it ficrot? Is it people losing their understanding of canon? Is it media illiteracy? I don't know.

I do think this is a part of it. I think gifs lacking context or the only context being provided is a fans interpretation of a scene can get other people on the "believe things that did not happen" bandwagon.

I also think what gets giffed and what doesn't has an impact on what people think about the show or take away from it. For example I remember when Murderbot came out the bottle episode with it and mensah wasn't giffed as much as its interactions with Gurathin and it made book fans convinced that the show had somehow replaced Mensahs place in the story with him when that was NOT what happened in the show at all.
