Fandom-Enraging Misconception	comment	In every community for every series, there are common mistakes. Someone could use the wrong spelling of a character's name, or think that the title referred to the main character, or insist on spreading a rumor about the plot until everyone believes it, or pigeon-holing fans into negative stereotypes. Sometimes, it goes further than just "dislike", though. Sometimes it crosses into Berserk Button territory, and the reaction is disproportionate rage at the offender. A Sub-Trope of Common Knowledge. Compare Cowboy BeBop at His Computer (when media gets the facts wrong), Discredited Meme, Fandom Heresy (when it's a subjective opinion and not objective mistakes), I Am Not Shazam, Refrain from Assuming (when a song title is different from its lyrics), Serious Business, and Broken Base. This Audience Reaction has been subject to some misuse. Fandom-Enraging Misconceptions are objective mistakes that annoy fans. Please read the following lists to make sure your example actually qualifies.

Fandom-Enraging Misconception / int_12300cc3	comment	Watchmen: There's sometimes confusion about whether it's "Watchmen" or "The Watchmen". This provoked a lot of fan-rage when the movie came out, especially because "watchmen" was an Arc Word in the comic, and became the name of a superhero team in the movie. (In the comic, Captain Metropolis's team is called "The Crimebusters".)

Fandom-Enraging Misconception / int_133f0a53	comment	Specific to Kanon, the widespread use of "uguu" by detractors of moe in general, many of whom have never even heard of Kanon, gets annoying. The fact that about five minutes passes from the first time Ayu says 'uguu' to the first time the game makes fun of the whole thing (and even less time in the anime) is a big factor here. "AM I KAWAII UGUU?" is right out.

"his eyes are portals to the punch dimension". This has been referenced in a comic storyline where Cyclops attempts to reconnect with his deadbeat dad through a camping trip. Cyclops snaps at his father for assuming he can light the campfire with his Eye Beams, saying it just goes to show how little he knows about his own son.

Fandom-Enraging Misconception / int_27f4c7fb	comment	You'll be sure to rile up Coraline fans if you call it a Tim Burton movie. The most likely cause of this confusion is that the advertising proclaimed it to be "From the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas"...but the director of both, and the man referred to in the advertising, was Henry Selick. Many people think Burton directed Nightmare, but he actually only produced it and worked on its story. It may have been intentional wording, however, to deliberately make people think of the more well-known Burton while still being accurate. Likewise, don't mistake ParaNorman for a Tim Burton movie either.

Despite this people often say that the franchise, especially G1, is female only and it pisses fans off. G2 never had a cartoon. My Little Pony Tales is G1.

Not that people didn't have fun with the stories where that was a plot point, it's just acknowledged that having the Flash be faster than Superman is just better for the Justice League's dynamic, as well as making Superman less overpowered. For reference, at this point almost every incarnation of The Flash has had a story that confirms that they're faster than Superman (Wally West is just acknowledged as the Fastest Man Alive period and has shown he can easily outrun Superman, Barry Allen demonstrated his greater speed in The Flash (Rebirth) while claiming any past defeat was 'for charity', and Jay demonstrated he was faster than Clark in a story during Geoff Johns run where Jay attempts to commit a Heroic Sacrifice), so only Jesse Chambers and Bart Allen are left to prove it (though Jesse has outraced Supergirl).

The show does draw heavy inspiration from anime, but it's made by the American Rooster Teeth, although it is extremely popular in Japan, to the point of having official manga adaptations, and a professional Japanese dub that aired on TV, and an anime adaptation. Don't refer to any of the heroes as a "Hunter". The masculine and gender-neutral term is "Huntsman", with its feminine counterpart being "Huntress". The only official use of "Hunter" alone is in reference to Ren's father, who was a hunter in the more traditional sense of the word. Regarding Pyrrha Nikos' death at the end of Volume 3, do not say that the writers decided to have that happen in order to help make the show darker, as it turns out Monty Oum himself had always intended for Pyrrha to eventually die as early as when the series began.

Fandom-Enraging Misconception / int_3e5f3f53	comment	SMG4: Insisting that the "classic" (2011-16) videos are nothing but Values Dissonance can cause anger from older fans, especially considering the series' two most popular videos ("Who let the chomp out?" and "Freddy's spaghettiria") are from that era, and, aside from a few lines and the title of the latter video's sub-series, are perfectly harmless when it comes to dated humor. In addition, the dated humor wasn't just limited to the classic era, as slurs and jokes that are now considered dated and/or offensive were still made all the way up to 2018 ("Guards N' Retards: Da bomb" and "Lost in the Woods" being just 2 examples), so claiming that only the classic era had these jokes and is bad for it can also garner criticism. Meta Runner is not a Spin-Off of SMG4 as Common Knowledge often insinuate - it's actually the opposite, as SMG4's Tari was solely created as a teaser for Meta Runner prior to its official announcement, with SMG4's Tari being an Alternate Universe counterpart of Meta Runner's Tari. This was done solely to avoid having the SMG4 fanbase being thrown off by an otherwise completely unrelated show. Don't assume that SMG4 started the idea of Super Mario 64 machinima bloopers. They were done years before SMG4 came along. Also, don't assume that X, FM, MarioMario54321, and the like are original characters; they are real Mario 64 machinimists who also use Palette Swaps of Mario as their Author Avatar. On the flip side, if SMG4 was your first introduction to the Mario series, don't think Spike is canonically named "Fishy Boopkins" or think that any of the Original Characters such as Tari, Saiko, and Shroomy are official Mario characters around Mario fans.

However, claiming that the site was always meant to be horror and complaining about certain SCPs not being scary will get a much more negative response.

It's not meant to be a canonical story in either universe, but many viewers take it as so. Wicked is a mishmash of canons (MGM's green-skinned Wicked Witch and Oz being in a separate universe from Kansas, several book-only characters and references, etc) set in its own continuity. Fans of all three incarnations get bitter when people mistake them for one and the same.

Fandom-Enraging Misconception / int_546769dd	comment	The Slender Man: Being mistaken about the origin of the mythos. No, it was not originally a Creepypasta, although many Creepypastas involving him have been written since his creation. No, Marble Hornets did not create him, though they are the primary reason as to his popularity,note their antagonist's name is officially The Operator, and referring to him as The Slender Man is another, milder example of this trope and neither did Slender. The Slender Man was created on a Something Awful forum thread, as part of the "Let's Create Paranormal" story writing contest. Referring to the main creature as just Slender. This occurs most often with fans who were introduced to the mythos through the game of that name. Calling the creature Slenderman likewise draws ire from some fans. Referring to him as Slender Man as if it's his name is similarly a point of agitation. THE Slender Man is just a description of his appearance — a tall, gaunt being that looks vaguely like a man. Calling Hoody or Masky "proxies" will get you treated to a nice lengthy explanation of how the term wasn't used in Marble Hornets and neither should be considered as such. Your best bet is to only use the term "proxy" when talking about Dark Harvest (the series from which the term originated) or Tribe Twelve.

Shion is the closest to a yandere that the series has. Mistaking the twins Shion and Mion for one another. When they were younger, they used to swap identities for fun, and so that Shion could experience the kind of life Mion enjoyed as the family head. Unfortunately, one of these swaps occurred on the day that Mion was meant to be given a ceremonial tattoo on her back to signify her position as heir. Thus, the twins were forced to forever adopt the identity of the other, making this issue even more convoluted.

Fandom-Enraging Misconception / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: D&D has demons and devils. Many, many fans commonly mistake the two (which isn't really helped by the fact that the earliest editions just had demons, but no devils) and nearly just as many are really anal about fans who can't get it right. And when you throw in the fact that the most common kind of both demons and devils have more specific names (Tanar'ri and Baatezu respectively), it all just gets very messy, very fast. Plus other kinds like obyrith and archdevils that more pure-blooded fans know about. Part of this comes from the fact that, in many versions of the game, demons and devils DO have objective differences based on Alignment: while both are always Evil, Demons are characterized as always Chaotic, Devils are always Lawful. This extends to other celestial beings like Angels, Archons, Devas, Asuras, etc., where it is less defined. Misspelling "rogue" as "rouge" will get you flamed in most online fora. Every edition of the game has had a major revision about halfway through in order to, depending on whom you ask, fix balance issues or sell more books. The revision of third edition is officially called 3.5. The revision of second edition ("Player's Options") is frequently called 2.5 and that's no big deal. However, calling the revision of fourth edition ("Essentials") "4.5" is a berserk button among fans of that edition.

Psyguy (or Psy) is the name of the author. Psycho is the name of his Author Avatar. Don't mix them up. And don't spell it "Spycho" either. Mr. O.M.A. the character is NOT the Author Avatar of Mr. O.M.A. the author. While he was originally created as such, Mr. O.M.A. soon regretted that decision and now considers Mr. O.M.A. the character as his own separate character. He actually considers Big Nasty his Author Avatar, given that they share the same name (Alan Solivan) and that the nickname "Big Nasty" came from a nickname the real Alan received in school. It's Jenifer Irwin, not Jennifer, and yes, she is a girl. And her Author Avatar is not a fox, it's a fox-cat hybrid. Similarly, Wil Brendel. One L. Not "Will". You will get mocked by fans and by Wil himself for calling him Will. Cailen Crow's comic is not a furry comic, and Cailen himself is not a furry. His characters are supposed to be anthropomorphic animals Ã la Looney Tunes. Also, his avatar is not Daffy Duck. He's a crow. Do not ask where you can read Chaos Diamonds 1 or Chaos Diamonds 2. There is no such thing. The comic is called Chaos Diamonds 3 because there are three Chaos Diamonds in the story.

Fandom-Enraging Misconception / int_7aaf9e41	comment	Batman: "So why doesn't he just kill the Joker?" This has been such a sticky subject for fans that comic writers and even the Batman: Arkham Series have adapted this topic. Another common argument that the fanbase are sick of hearing is "If Bruce Wayne really cared about Gotham, then he should donate some of his money to improving things rather than dressing up like a bat and punching people." Bruce Wayne is an active philanthropist in just about every Batman continuity — his charitable donations don't get as much narrative focus as his superheroics, sure, but that's not too surprising considering his story is about superheroics. Also, even if he could give his full attention to philanthropy, Gotham is famously full of corrupt officials/political figures who would no doubt try to get his money as much as they can. This is addressed in The Batman (2022). Ra's Al Ghul. According to Denny O'Neil, his name was originally meant to be pronounced 'Raesh'. While the phrase "head of the demon" does indeed translate into "ra's al-ghuul" in real Arabic (suggesting the character's name is NOT supposed to consist of a made-up language), the pronunciation does not contain the sounds "i" or "sh". In Batman Begins it's pronounced 'Rahs', which is much closer to the actual pronunciation. Still, pronouncing it in any way other than 'Raesh' will attract much ire from fans. In Batman Beyond, Terry pronounces it "Rahs" and is "corrected" by Talia (actually Ra's).

Aside from the beginning of the film where she is a princess (though never referred to as such), she is Queen Elsa, and making the mistake of calling her "Princess" will cause backlash. Don't call Elsa a villain. Yes, she was originally written as one and maybe some of her actions are questionable, even if they're accidents, but the fandom will not take kindly to Elsa being called a villain. It doesn't help that pre-release advertising was intentionally deceptive to help preserve that Frozen was actually defying many Disney cliches—the "evil sorceress" isn't evil or even intentionally antagonistic and the Prince Charming-type is the real villain. Confusing Elsa with Rosalina isn't a good idea. An easy way to get a rise out of Frozen fans is to say Anna is a ripoff of Rapunzel and Disney can't design female characters anymore. Honey Lemon from Big Hero 6 faces similar debates.

Pre-Crisis, "Superman" was the real character and "Clark Kent" was a character he played to 'fit in' among humans and get information about ongoing crimes.note This is Depending on the Writer, with some pre-Crisis stories holding that "Superman" and "Clark Kent" are equally fictional, and the "real" persona is Kal-El Post-Crisis, "Superman" is just what he does, while "Clark Kent" is who he is; he's genuinely a mild-mannered Every Man who happens to be a Physical God and he chooses to use those powers to help people, but "Clark Kent" is very much the identity where he acts as who he is. Generally, Clark-as-the-real-persona adds considerable depth to his character, so most fans and creators prefer this. However, despite this being canon since 1985, some people seem to think of "Clark Kent" as the facade, and it can often get on fans' nerves when it's treated as if the 'real' Superman is the simplistic archetypal superhero he pretends to be.note Yes, Bill, we mean you. Though in that case, the fandom prefers to take the fact that he's wrong as just another of his flaws. This sometimes happens regarding Lex Luthor's name, particularly in Justice League Unlimited. A talk show host interviewing Luthor, who happens to be running for President at the time, pronounces it Luther, while in another episode Superman gets it right by forcing the 'thor' part. It's also hard to shake Ned Beatty's unforgettable Brooklynite rendition in Superman: The Movie, "Mistah Loo-Toah!"

Any type of comparison of the Word of Blake Jihad to Middle Eastern Terrorists claiming 'jihad' against the West is considered in poor taste and usually avoided. Comparisons to the Blakists to Islam are also considered ignorant since Battletech shows several perfectly reasonable planets of Islamic faith (particularly in the Draconis Combine, which is something of a surprise considering the Combine's many authoritarian stances). At least one in-universe news article is from a polite but clearly irate Islamic scholar who takes umbrage at the use of "Jihad" by the Blakists to describe their interstellar temper tantrum war crimes, correctly pointing out how this appropriation sullies the word and its original meanings and implications.

Don't call Peppermint Patty just "Patty". There is already a separate character named "Patty". Don't spell Frieda's name as "Frida" or "Freida". And no, she is not the Little Red-Haired Girl, either.

Fandom-Enraging Misconception / int_b9b796cf	comment	Fate/stay night; thanks to the massive success of the anime adaptation of Fate/Zero causing a Newbie Boom for the franchise, it's not uncommon for anime-only fans to view it as the peak of the franchise. That alone doesn't quite ruffle the feathers of the visual novel fans as much as their tendency to judge the adaptations of the original routes on the basis of "which is the superior sequel to Zero." For context, Zero was a prequel light novel released about 3 years after the VN to flesh out the vaguely-described events of the previous Holy Grail War, drawing heavily on characters and themes which don't show up in the VN until tens of hours into the story (leading fans to assume Zero invented these elements), and contradicts the VN in enough small but significant waysnote Most notably Saber in Fate/stay night had never met an Einzbern before, and while she did value chivalry she was very guarded about information and willing to follow dirty tactics if necessary (even proposing some herself). Meanwhile in Zero she works directly for an Einzbern, and her devotion to honour is Flanderized to the point of giving out secrets unprompted and fighting at a handicap for the sake of fairness. The characterisation change has in-universe justification as her becoming more desperate after her failure in Zero, which has Approval of God; the Einzbern change does not. that official media have gone back and forth on whether it's even set in the same universe (eventually settling on "it's still 95% what happened, so just treat it as canon and ignore the parts that don't fit"). So fans treating Zero as if it is the "original" series understandably will test the patience of long-time visual novel readers.

Hardcore fans however will point out that "999 is much more original than Saw" and that "if you actually pay attention to the game's entire plot, it's actually nothing like Saw". In actual fact, the game was heavily inspired, not by Saw, but by Eastern horror movies, in which the theme is less about sadistic people inducing violence, and more about sadistically inducing fear. The theme of the game, going through a game involving puzzle-filled rooms, has been compared to Saw, but as fans are quick to point out, the actual puzzles and entire set up for why they exist in the first place is nothing like it. The same goes for its sequel Virtue's Last Reward.

Fandom-Enraging Misconception / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000 Demon is an acceptable vernacular, though the preferred word is Daemon. Lord help you if you get the A and the E confused. Space Marines armies aren't "pretty much all the same". There are myriad differences between the named codices, much less the various ways the plain Space Marines codex is interpreted by both players and in-universe Marine leaders. Every army in Codex: Space Marines isn't "pretty much Ultramarines". Depending on whom you ask this is either Ultramarines propaganda, or egregious and atrocious canon manipulation by Matt Ward. Blood Angels and Dark Angels are very different armies; do not confuse them. One of the fastest way of pissing off a Blood Angels fan is by saying "You painted your Blood Ravens wrong". Do not call an individual unit selected from Codex: Black Templars a singular "Black Templar". You can call them by their unit names when all else fails. You can also call them an Initiate or a Crusader. They're Orks. "Orcs & Goblins" are in the other Warhammer game (see below). The K is important, especially to Ork players, who have been known to hound people til they leave a forum for making this mistake. For Orks, the "g" in "WAAAGH!" is silent. If you forget that, then fans might call one on you. Do not call armies fielded from Codex: Space Marines "vanilla" or "generic" Space Marines without knowing your opponent really well. Many Space Marine players take offense to both terms. This has largely crossed into dead horse territory with the 6th edition codex folding many chapters into the book and creating "Chapter Tactics". Now it's very common to ask a Space Marines player what chapter he's representing since the chapter tactics are a very important part of the metagame. Add in the litany of supplements released for chapters (Iron Hands, Imperial Fists, etc.) and pretty much nobody gets slapped with the "vanilla" label... except the Smurfs. Don't use "Real Warhammer" or "Original Warhammer" to indicate that you mean Warhammer to a 40k player. Also don't call it just "Warhammer" and assume they know what you mean. 40k-exclusive players consider 40k Real Warhammer. The accepted terms of distinction are "Fantasy" and "40k". You can also call Fantasy "Classic". Also bear in mind, a considerable population plays both.

Bruce Wayne is an active philanthropist in just about every Batman continuity — his charitable donations don't get as much narrative focus as his superheroics, sure, but that's not too surprising considering his story is about superheroics. Also, even if he could give his full attention to philanthropy, Gotham is famously full of corrupt officials/political figures who would no doubt try to get his money as much as they can. This is addressed in The Batman (2022).

At best, you'll drown in disappointment but at least other fans are willing to simply correct you on that. At worst, you'll be shouted at by the more hostile fans, especially if they don't like the idea of fan characters in general (which also isn't helped by the idea of Truffles's Video Bomb Competition). During the post-TV series era, saying that Flippy has fully gotten over his flip-outs was enough to garner the wrath of fans. It didn't help that the next time a flipped-out Flippy appears, it's only in Flaky's imagination ("Without a Hitch"). The fanbase has calmed down since the release of the Love Bite short "On My Mind", which depicts Flippy flipping out. Character concept-wise, mentioning that the cast is a complete rip-off of Care Bears characters will cause massive backlash. Doesn't help that there's one exact case where someone made said comparison and, judging by the disabled comment section, that person succeeded in evoking the HTF fans' wrath. For the more serious fans that have done their research, hearing FatKat being referred to as a permanent part of the cast is their Berserk Button. No, FatKat is not a canon HTF character. No, he's not a fan character either. He's a guest character (for a single HTF Break, mind you) who is simply an HTF version of an animation studio's mascot. Unfortunately, fans still make this error from time to time. Referring to Flippy and Fliqpy as the same character will grate on quite a few nerves. From a physical standpoint, they are, but given the sheer night-and-day difference between the two, trying to blame Flippy for something that Fliqpy did can earn you some rather harsh looks.

While it is true that the Hellaverse is known for its extreme Vulgar Humor, saying this to a fan is guaranteed to entail a lecture on how there are many different types of dark and raunchy humor that it displays and invite comparisons to other works which have just as much if not more profanity and risque humor (Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt coming up a lot) which never have this accusation leveled at them. Helluva Boss: No matter what anyone says, the writers did not deliberately rewrite Stella in Season 2 to be nastier and crueler to Stolas in order to retroactively justify Stolas' affair.

The theme of the game, going through a game involving puzzle-filled rooms, has been compared to Saw, but as fans are quick to point out, the actual puzzles and entire set up for why they exist in the first place is nothing like it. The same goes for its sequel Virtue's Last Reward.

Fandom-Enraging Misconception / int_f99c3ee	comment	The villain of the first Don't Hug Me I'm Scared is named Sketchbook, not Notepad. And they are not female, their gender is ambiguous (though the latter isn't helped by them having a female voice actor).

Fandom-Enraging Misconception / int_fb173de	comment	Do not ever ever refer to The Phantom of the Opera as an opera in front of an opera fan. The fact that the word 'opera' is in the title does not make it one. It is a musical. A Broadway production. The same thing goes for Les MisÃ©rables and other such works — although some, like Les Miserables, may meet some definitions of operettas. Don't call them operas in front of your opera-loving friends (especially since their true forms are novels)... unless you hate them and want to end the friendship, of course.

Fandom-Enraging Misconception / int_fdfd6055	comment	Calling Rena yandere annoys her fans. While she can be violently overprotective of her friends and father, it's not the main reason behind her behavior. Shion is the closest to a yandere that the series has.
