1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Just like the various works of the SCP Foundation, it's all canon. But that doesn't mean it's all embraced by the fandom; and works that don't respect prior established rules or lore may not gain popularity or respect.
For instance, if you were to write a backrooms story about a liminal space that wasn't actually very liminal at all, you might be doing it wrong. Or possibly right, if your work was actually very fantastic.
I would say there are multiple branches of this collaborative fiction with their own fandoms, and if you were to try to define what was "canon", those would have to be separate, mutually exclusive canons. The Kane pixels videos is only one of these and not even the first.
backrooms lore is entirely decentralized. there is no "official"
Kane has his own universe for it but that doesn't make anyone else's lore any less worthy of consideration
Are you telling me there are porn videos involving Joseph D. Kucan?
Kanes universe, or the one with the Backrooms movie, is its own universe only kanes videos, music and other media are canon
