Bethesda never said what is "canon". Which means that MKs writings are just as canon as the stuff that Bethesdas writers create.

Then I suppose every single thing that anyone has wrote on the internet is canon then? "THE DWEMER ARE NOW ELEPHANTS"!

Thats canon!

Micheal Kirkbride... does not work for Bethesda... he used too... but does > NOT < therefore nothing he wrote post-employment at bethesda could ever be considered in any sense... canon... unless Bethesda explicitly says it is.

The rules of canon with any media is not "assume everything is canon no matter the source" its "whatever the company produces is canon unless otherwise stated"

He is not part of the company... therefore it cannot be canon! Please, tell me how often Bethesda used what MK wrote even after he left Bethesda. Let's take Heimskr as an example. "Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now in royalty and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you." Heimskr says that in his speech. Guess from where Beth got that? From The Many-Headed Talos. Guess who wrote that? Oh, yes. MK. Guess who invented the Thalmor? MK. Guess who invented the Greybeards and the nordic Culture? Again, MK. Guess who invented 90% of existing TES lore? MK and Kurt Kuhlmann. I could go on with this forever.
