Fillers that provide insights should be considered canon.

For example, the current arc introduces Kaguya's husband, Hamura's voice, Hagoromo's sharingan awakening, etc

All of the stuff mentioned above are not shown or talked about in the manga and will never be.
Now, the word fillers actually means to fill something. They fill the gaps or empty spaces in the story.

If fillers don't overwrite the original story then, they can be considered canon.

IIRC, a few fillers (like the Kakashi Anbu ones with Yamato's past) were written into the databook, so Kishimoto indeed integrated some of them into him canon.

Nope, in most cases this new info usually end up inconsistent and even if they're not, we can't just accept people's opinion as canon (if they're not part of the main stories development team)

Depending on how far frtched the filler is or inconsistent it may turn out to be, I guess I dont see why not consider them canon-ish

Some fillers are canon worthy even if it was taken from manga facts and does alot more justice by expanding world building as well as given more characters indepth and filling all the loose ties in the manga,people still couldn't live with it despite how much they complain in the manga.

I don't get why most of you are bothered with the concept of filler & cannon. Even with the movies. You guys should relax and enjoy it, instead of complaining about it. It's all approved by kishimoto and i'm not going to waste my time explaining it.

Think about it people their is no new Naruto Manga and Kishi is adding new info between Manga/anime canon. The anime for the most part is from the Manga war and all Kishi is doing is filling in the blanks that were not covered in the Manga,the questions most people were writhing Him about.

I totally agree with the OP. However, filler haters absolutely worship Kishi's pen , so they are not courageous enough to branch out from Kishi-ism and consider any new content (regardless of how good that new content may be and regardless of whether or not it gives development and answers to characters and questions that they were constantly complaining about in the manga)

usually people dont get it that anime maker doesnt just make anime out of nothin. They have to make a script about it first and the only source that they can get the idea to make that script is Kishimoto himself. I would say most of filler are coming from or has been approved by Kishi, the real NV world creator.

yeah i really like that one filler where byakugan has space distortion jutsu.

that was a nice fanfic but it expanded on a very stunted development of byakugan, which is the eyes of the progenitor of chakra.

Should be OP but hey it was but only in Part 1.

Just because a filler is nice doesn't mean it should be canon, Fugaku wasn't an MS user, Kakashi never had ice style and Hagoromo was never known to have Sharingan.

People are seriously debating whether SP fillers are canon or not, this is a new low for this fanbase and the sad part its not exclusive to this site lol.
