Alt-Text = Non-Canon?

Post by PhoenixAsper »

I know that some people here think as such. What's your personal take on the alt text of the various comics? While they are unquestionably funny, are they to be taken as true? I regard nearly all them them as partially canon at least, what about you?

I assume them to be canon unless non-alt text contradicts them or they're clearly direct shout-outs.

As long as their facts don't explicitly show up in the actual comic I would say they're non-canonical since they're used primarily for jokes anyway.

I believe it is just a 'extra joke or a stupid thought', probably non-cannon.

Alt-text is definitely meant to be an extra joke, but I also find it to be a perfectly logical explanation/response. So I guess I assume it as canon until being told otherwise.
