No, this isn't about proshipping

There was a bugbear back in the danganronpa fandom circa 2020 regarding Oumasai/Saiouma, which the shippers claimed it was canon based off of the fact that Kokichi's V.A. Said that he shipped it.

Saiouma shippers
Let me tell you a li'l sum.

THAT REASONING IS COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSHIT.

ONE: It was from Kokichi's ENGLISH voice actor. Danganronpa is a game made in japan. DEREK WASN'T EVEN APART OF THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT TEAM. IF THIS WAS FROM SIMONO, THEN YEAH, THAT WOULD'VE HAD MORE CREDIBILITY, BUT SIMONO DIDN'T SAY SHIT.

TWO: DEREK. IS. NOT. A. WRITER. THE WRITERS CONTROL WHAT IS AND ISN'T CANON. THE VOICE ACTORS ARE PAID TO READ OFF SHIT THAT THE - YOU GUESSED IT - WRITER'S MADE. IF IT WASN'T FROM THE WRITERS, PRODUCERS, OR KODAKA'S MOUTH, THEN IT IS NOT CANON. YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW THE INDUSTRY WORKS.

THREE: ACTUALLY, SCRATCH EVERYTHING ABOVE BECAUSE IF IT ISN'T IN THE GAME, MANGA, OR ANIME: THEN IT DID NOT ACTUALLY HAPPEN. SAYING "X is canon!!!" IN A PLACE OTHER THAN THE MAIN MEDIA IS LITERARY SUICIDE. THAT IS NOT HOW YOU TELL A STORY. EVERYTHING THAT IS CANON SHOULD BE IN THE ACTUAL MEDIA. YOU LAZY FUCK.

And if you take issue with anything that I said:
You don't know the industry works so stfu
