A new rule of the
internet that I'm proposing.
If a piece of fan work gets copyright claimed by the company who made the source material, then it's canon. An example of this would be if
Nintendo claimed someone's fanfiction. No matter how inappropriate, lewd, or downright fucked up that
shit is, it happened.
Person 1: "How have none of the companies parodied in the Racist Mario video claimed it
yet?"
Person 2: "Rule
901. if they were to claim it, it would be
canon to that universe."
