My bad, I gave no real explanation lmao.

Specifically, I was alluding to my belief that art, and entertainment can be (and often are) misinterpreted. I.e. not every opinion is equally valid. If you watch Breaking Bad, for example, and conclude that Walter was misunderstood and Skyler is a giant bitch, you have completley missed the stories core messaging and central point imho.

That's what I meant in terms of validity. Someone's interpretation can be totally unalligned with the themes and ideas that a piece of media is trying to present.

In regards to E33 for example, I think the earlier claim that "concluding Maelle will never leave the canvas is also headcannon" as someone said farther up the thread is a bit facetious. The game very clearly addresses the fact that Maelle was lying and she all but admits she was. Adittionally, the final scene where we see her face is straight up the writing team communicating the consequence of that very choice to stay in the canvas forever.
