Editing Canon (section)

== The /tg/ Consensus ==
When it comes to things like Warhammer 40,000, fa/tg/uys tend to throw canon out the window and deal with the setting on their own terms, establishing their own continuity through group consensus (the aforementioned fanon). Picking and choosing which retcons to accept and which to ignore is one of /tg/'s greatest pastimes, and to this end /tg/ has an established a board-wide consensus for almost any setting with more than one edition or author (i.e. all of them). This consensus tends to cross-pollinate with the stuff non-/tg/ fa/tg/uys also tend to like.  

To again use Warhammer 40k as an example, an entire "secret" consensus has arose within the fandom, a continuity that "fixes" poorly received retcons, patches up consistency issues, and tends to lighten the characters and infuse [[awesome]] into the setting wherever possible. /tg/ has even developed an entirely separate universe wherein fa/tg/uys can put all of their [[/tg/'s homebrews|homebrew characters and factions]].

Note that this a consensus, not an official canon. Canon is, in theory, what [[Games Workshop|they]] say it is, whereas consensus fanon is what the majority choose to accept. The only thing an absolute majority accepts however, is the [[C.S. Goto]]'s bullshit is most definitely no canon.
