Fanon

Something that the fans of a Fandom came up with that isn't Canon to the actual story or character. Not to be confused with Headcannon, which is a personal fanon that is usually only used by you or a small group.

"The fanon character is completely different from the Canon character!"

Fanon Goggles

When people get really emotionally intense about something when in reality there's nothing interesting happening.
When people have read so much fanfiction that they begin applying all these intense emotions from the fictional universe to things that are happening in real life, which in reality are probably just really boring and uneventful.

Person 1: "Why does she always make weird and random Doctor Who references?"

Person 2: "It's called Fanon Goggles."

Frantz Fanon

A great psychiatrist of the post WW2 era. Frantz Fanon was perhaps the most influential decolonialist philosopher of the 20th century. A highly trained psychiatrist, Fanon was also a revolutionary soldier fighting the Nazis in WW2. He doubled his efforts towards the Algerian revolutionaries fighting French barbarity in the post war period.

Fanon however will always be best known for his papers on existential deconstructionism, essentialized notions of racism and his perspectives of a black man in the west.

Frantz Fanon was a renowned philosopher, soldier and revolutionary. Despite dying at the tender age of 36, Fanon has left enough decolonialist articles to last a critically thinking student a lifetime to ponder.
