Fanon

Fanon within the South Park fandom is a term widely used for popular ideas, deliberate misinformation, poor-quality writing and cliches that are incorrect and infringe on the show's proper canon. The term is generally not used to refer to works considered favorable or interesting, such as fan art.
Examples of fanon include:
*false names like Stan Randall Marsh, Red Tucker, Craig Nommel, Annie Polk
*false birthdays like Craig being born on January 18
*ships such as Revin that have not been canonically confirmed
*headcanon of any and all kinds which by definition cannot be canonical
*Craig spending time with Tolkien, Tweek and Clyde on a regular basis
*the idea that background characters like Esther and Kevin are siblings
*Jock Stan and Nerdy Kyle
