While this behaviour of fans does indeed exist, it doesn't change the fact that there have been enough storylines and characterizations which not only fans but also following writer and/or editors agreed on to have been of such a low quality (meaning BAD) or not matching up with how these characters were supposed to be written or understood that they were either ignored out of existence or explained away (meaning retconned).
Though of course there were also developments and characterizations which fans loved but someone in charge hated and retconned away. It goes all 3 ways.
But there clearly is a point at which something is so out of character or badly written that everyone fans and creators alike agreed that it shouldn't be considered canon for the characters anymore. That the meta factors for how they acted overruled in universe explanations.
The problem is also that this cycle of letting a writer take characters into the wrong direction or produce stories which are widely and on both sides eventualy agreed on to have been of bad quality and trying to fix it with retcons, is also certainly one reason these comics have such a bad time trying to get more buying readers these days, as it constantly invalidates stories and makes it difficult for casual readers to know what is still in character for certain heros and villains and what was agreed to have been a bad idea and removed again.
So meta is constantly a factor with characters in these comics.
You're asking the wrong person.
I personally couldn't care less about where she ends up be it on the Avengers again, on Krakoa, Mars or in Limbo.
I don't have a problem with meta arguments, I have a problem with them repeatedly being used as a cop out when discussing characters.
It cheapens the entire discussion and is more often than not used disingenuosly.
"On what you're saying that my favorite character did this and that? Well that's just bad writing so let's ignore it, but let me tell you about what this other character did that I didn't like." ??

Agreed he tried to kill Luna just for being human so Wanda must be an ever more hard case for him to accept and he looked too proud of himself on that preview from ToM so he´s looking very suspicious to me.
Also I know this is just a cover but it looks like all of Magneto´s family members are being targeted here.

“There is no defense against the Scarlet Witch's HEX!”
While Remender wrote them, they were not his. They were Marvel's. So if they come down, it'll also be Marvel's choice.
They could make her a mutant again. But Mags being her biological father might not happen. Since the reason given for also not making their father was because they wanted to keep the twins young, and keep Mags rooted in WWII.
Now, we have no idea either way. This could all be a ruse. Wanda's body could not be her's. Or they could make people think this undoes the retcon and it does none of that.
This event itself goes to December. And probably will have some spin off stories after. We have a while to wait.
Love is for souls, not bodies.
