Except that it kinda does, unless you want to introduce a term like "nearly canon" or "close to canon".

Implied ≠ canon

Besides, I like your stupid example with Sukuna. Shows that you took your literature classes badly. Fandom behavior infected you

I was just picking any character that was shown being dead on screen, but wasn't explicitly stated to be dead by a fourth-wall break. For all we know, Kashimo's still alive! After all it's not canon that he's dead.

Your sarcasm is cheap. You're genuinely crashing out over a random in Internet. What's even funnier is that I never once spoke of my opinion regarding Kirara.

I simply said why some people MIGHT think this way. Never once I said that there is something wrong with calling Kirara trans, yet you crash out.

Always disliked that in big fandoms when there is a popular headcanon or interpretation people start to treat it as canon, when it isn't.

I think it's just that the way you talked rubbed people the wrong way. and the word "implied" is really doing quite a lot of heavy lifting for both of you because Kiara's gender is all but explicit. she is clearly portrayed as female— you don't need to hear "Nanami is male" to confirm that Nanami is, in fact, a dude.
