Q:
What does ''Canon'' in this context.
George was not a canon charactor in the series, but they used it in their Alternative Universe, regardless. mean?
George was not a canon charactor in the series, but they used it in their Alternative Universe, regardless. mean?
A:
In a story or franchise canon means
information that can be verified to be true from a mainline work.
For example,
Spiderman's canon real name is Peter Parker.
This means that I can open an official comic book or movie and prove this to be true.
If I say,
Spiderman likes to put bugs on his 卵かけご飯
This is not information that I can prove with an official work so, it is not canon or non-canon.
Now if someone makes a spinoff work or 同人誌,
Unless the writer of the original work says that spinoff is true to the story it is not canon.
And fans of the original may reject even the author's opinion if they feel the spinoff is unfaithful to the original.
In your example,
George was not a canon character in the series...
this means George did not appear anywhere in the original series main story, maybe he was in a fan fiction, filler episode, or other unofficial work.
One last point,
if you have information that official work cannot prove to be true or false you can say that information is your Headcanon (Canon inside your head/opinion)
For example,
Maybe you think Sakonji Urokodaki (the tengu mask teacher) from Kimetsu no Yaiba has blue eyes because he fights with water techniques.
His real face is never shown in the story so you cannot prove this to be right or wrong. But, you believe it anyway. This is your headcanon.
Hope this makes sense.

Context is more hypothetical and more common in an academic context ;) it refers to the hypothetical environment in which something happens. If something is ‘out of context’, it is out of the environment in which is normally found.
‘That was so rude!’ ‘Well, it was taken out of context.’
Situation is much more common in spoken conversations and daily use, and it used when referring to actual events that have or will happen.

Arguably, the most widely studied academic performance outcome for women in the stereotype threat literature is math test performance; other less frequently studied outcomes include more negative attitudes toward the domain and lower intentions to
pursue education and careers in the domain.

A:
I see. I didn’t know “stereotype threat” was a term but I will add it to my vocabulary now (being a woman in STEM😄)
So they are listing the outcomes of “stereotype threat” that have been studied. One of the outcomes researchers study the most is math performance.
But less frequently, research has also been done on girls’ and women’s attitudes towards STEM and on their intentions to pursue STEM education/careers. Now it’s clear to me that they mean “more negative attitudes than boys/men” and “lower intentions than boys/men” 🙂
