Among Fandom there are some topics which, once mentioned, will cause endless, passionate debate over which faction of the Fandom is correct. Then there are some things which it seems like everyone in the Fandom agrees on. Of course Alan Moore is one of the best comics scribes out there. Of course the American adaptation of Coupling sucked. And of course Garfield has been going downhill for years. How could anyone think otherwise?
Well, inevitably there are one or two fans who do. Actually voicing these opinions which run contrary to Fandom consensus, however, can entail some risk. You might get some funny looks if you said you preferred the Japanese GoLion over the American Voltron Lion Force. If you say you liked Voltron Vehicle Force, however, prepare to be treated as a Fandom pariah, along with comments that you're obviously not a real/true fan. Essentially, this is the Fandom variant of The Complainer Is Always Wrong.
Sometimes, this trope can even extend to fans who hold opinions that are only tenuously related (or, in some case, entirely unrelated) to the work in question — which run contrary to Fandom consensus. Can exist in the form of "you can't be a true fan of Band X, if you also like Band Y or you don't also like Band Z".
By the extension of the above two paragraphs, in certain circles, the term "true fan" is the fandom equivalent of Godwin's Law. It's like declaring "I believe in [X] because I'm a 'regular' fan". In other words, if someone plays/invokes the "[X] because I am a true fan" , then they automatically lose the argument.
Please note, to count as Fandom Heresy it must be said by someone who is part of the Fandom. For example, someone saying "Breaking Bad is stupid" or "Discworld is boring" doesn't count. However, a Breaking Bad fan saying, "Ozymandias is an overrated episode" or a Discworld fan saying, "Sam Vimes is the lamest character in the series" would definitely count.
A very commonplace, fandom-independent example of Fandom Heresy is disliking the main character, or the Ensemble Dark Horse if the main character isn't also the most popular character. Doubly so if you say that said character is a copy of a character from another series. Being a fan of a Hate Sink (in a non-Love to Hate way), The Scrappy, or a character with a despised trait (such as being an Abusive Parent) is just as universal an example of heresy, for equally obvious reasons.
See also Fan Dumb for another way to hit the Berserk Button of certain fandoms. Compare with Broken Base, where the two sides of opinion are more equal rather than one overwhelming majority against a minority "heresy"; as well as Sacred Cow, in which the "heresy" includes even non-fans. Not to be confused with Fandom-Enraging Misconception, which is for common factual errors about works that particularly annoy their fans.
This trope is extremely dependent on biases and sometimes it may make you feel uncomfortable if you do not hold their views. However, do not lose heart: It's all right to keep your opinions and be a 'heretic' if it's being truer to your heart and you are not directly harming anyone. You probably just need to be extra careful on how you express your opinion, but you will eventually find a community or friend where your opinion wouldn't look too much like a heresy. Don't let the biases of the loud fandom listed below prevent you from enjoying (or not enjoying) the media.

Fans do not want to be reminded of Pokémon: Genesect and the Legend Awakened due to the fact that it introduced a second Mewtwo in a situation where the original would have fit in perfectly. If you want to piss them off, claim that you liked the movie or its Mewtwo. note It turns out the reason for the second Mewtwo was due to Takeshi Shudō's estate owning the concept of the original Mewtwo, but this unfortunately isn't enough to change people's minds about the sixteenth movie.

The other three entries are considered Contested Sequels and can be criticized to the extent, but don't say any one of them are better than the first movie. Do so and you'll be taken out by a Predator once again.

Terminator:
Speaking ill of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, considered to be THE best entry in the series and a Sacred Cow altogether, will cause the fandom to send a T-800 to target you for the most brutal type of termination. If you do survive this deathly takedown and buckle down on the claims by spreading unwanted criticism to the first movie, which, despite not being as masterful as the second one, is loved by many a movie consumer, more and more Terminator models will descend onto the battlefield... and the end result will be disastrous.
The above results will be even more brutal and get even more Terminators in on the action whenever you say that any of the movies after Judgment Day are good or that any of them are your favorite, which will end up with you on the receiving end of the worst fate anyone can get. This is due to the later entries being derided for reasons such as undoing the second movie's ending or causing many a Fan-Disliked Explanation. There are even fans that prefer the unused ending to Terminator 2 (which shows John Connor as adult and Judgment Day never happened) since it would've prevented any lackluster sequels from happening.

Adventure Time:
Do not say anything negative about Marceline, unless you want the fandom the suck out all the red from you. Same results will apply if you suggest that she doesn't deserve her redemption.
While you don't necessarily have to have it as your favorite pairing, speaking negatively of Bubbline (Bubblegum and Marceline) will get you in trouble with most of the fandom mainly due to them kissing and becoming a couple again in the Grand Finale.

Genshin Impact:
Do not speak positively about Amber from a gameplay perspective, as she's considered to be the weakest character by the fandom. It's perfectly fine to speak positively about her from a story perspective, however.
Do NOT bring up the game's first anniversary, as the rewards given out during that event were considered to be very disappointing by the fans.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica:
Never, ever, ever, try to redeem Kyubey. While there was a certain level of wiggle room about it in the earlier days of the fandom, the events of Rebellion have pretty much ensured that he is utterly hated by the fandom at large and any attempt to see 'his point' will get you torn apart by a legion of Magical Girls who would say otherwise.
Writing any of the Magical Girls as straight is not something one does in the fandom without scorn. Partially because the list of male characters who get focus and are thus likable is very small (the only male character who gets any respect from the original series is Madoka's dad for example, and spin offs like the mangas and Magia Record add very few others) and partially because of all of the Les Yay in the series, writing any Magical Girl as straight is tantamount to walking over a pit of lava on a flimsy rope in turns of safety. The only member of the original Magical Girls who could even be attempted to written as straight and not get you pillared is Mami, and that is partially because Rebellion partnered her with Nagisa and the fandom would rather have Mami be straight than attracted to a elementary student, but the fandom would rather still pair her with another Magical Girl if at all possible. Even the Magical Girls who do clearly show attraction to guys are expected by the fandom to be either Bisexual or in denial of their true sexualities in fan works, no exception.

Several within Metallica:
The first four albums, and to a lesser extent, The Black Album, are a Sacred Cow, so fans will have you ride the lightning if you criticise them.
Don't say you like St. Anger (or God forbid Lulu) if you wish the fans won't make you broken, beaten and scarred.
Never put any other bassist above Cliff Burton. Otherwise, the fans would summon Cthulhu up your ass.

A good way to get yourself lynched by the fandom is to criticize Star Fox 64, as it's considered a Sacred Cow and the best entry in the series, with none of the entries that came after able to match it.

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics):
It's not a good idea to ever mention Ken Penders, mainly due to the fact that his lawsuit against Archie Comics over his characters and concepts not only lead to a Cosmic Retcon-induced reboot that got rid of any characters created by former writers, but also eventually led to the cancellation of the comic itself and even has had repercussions throughout the entire franchise as a whole. Speaking his name will lead to everyone harnessing the powers of the seven Chaos Emeralds to verbally attack you so severely that you might need a trip to the local psych ward, or throw you into Robotropolis and leave you to be cornered by Swat-Bots there.
Interestingly, while the story was once praised by fans, nowadays, speaking positively about Endgame is almost guaranteed to land you on a watchlist, mainly due to the plotline of the main character himself getting framed for Sally's supposed murder being considered by most fans as idiotic.
Do not speak positively about Drago Wolf, not because he's a Hate Sink, but because he's considered to be a bad villain.
In a similar vein, saying anything positive about Knuckles' father, Locke, will lead to the fandom "microwaving your baby".

Samurai Jack:
Saying that you were okay with Season 5's premiere being suddenly delayed in favor of the Season 3 premiere of Rick and Morty is enough to stir up rage from most fans, mainly due to the action being considered trollish towards Samurai Jack fans.
Unless you have the need to get your arms sliced open by multiple swords, NEVER bring up Ashi's death at the end of the series to fans of the show. The event was so negatively received that the canonical game Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time did away with the scene in question with Ashi surviving in the Golden Ending.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie: While it's acceptable to admit that the live-action adaptation from the 90s is a guilty pleasure, you'd better have some 1-Up mushrooms handy if you say it's better than the animated film. For what it's worth, you can say Bob Hoskins was a better Mario than Chris Pratt without consequence.

DEATH BATTLE!:
While most if not all Death Battles have at least some contention regarding their victors from watchers, a literal death battle will ensure if you approve of who the victors were in Gaara vs Toph, Yang vs Tifa, Ben 10 vs Green Lantern, or, most infamously of all, the second Goku vs Superman fight, as those four are despised by fans for reasons such as flawed research, accusations of favoritism, or even the victor cheating.
On the other hand, there are a few bouts where nobody disagrees with the results and doing so is not a good idea. For example, everyone is in agreement that Omni-Man vs. Homelander had the correct victor, and any dissent will lead to the 3 fandoms coming at you to feed you your own heart, especially when considering that even the official Twitter accounts for both series approved the outcome.
Fans are very insistent that the first real life person portrayed in the series was Chuck Norris in his fight against Segata Sanshiro, and any mention of the episode consisting of a "fight" between Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black will most likely end with you being roundhouse kicked in the face, especially considering that even the creators of the show treat the episode with scorn.

Do not say anything negative about this series. While it was rather contentious early on, it improved significantly over time, to the point where it's widely considered to be the best animated Star Wars series, one of the best Star Wars TV series overall (alongside The Mandalorian and Andor) and better than the Prequel Trilogy films.

Donkey Kong Country:
While most fans won't mind it if you like Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, suggesting you prefer it over Donkey Kong Country or Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (or Retro's titles) is not recommended unless you want the fandom to throw barrels at you, as it is regarded to be vastly inferior to those games by fans. Likewise, don't say you like Kiddy Kong or that you prefer to play as him over Dixie Kong or fans will throw even more barrels.
As well regarded as Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze are, in some circles, saying you prefer them over Rare's original trilogy is a good reason for hardcore Rare fans to steal your bananas while you're sleeping and probably shove your little buddy into a barrel.
Never suggest you prefer the Tiki Tong Tribe or even the Snowmads over the Kremlings, unless you want to earn the fandom's wrath and have King K. Rool blow up your home with the Blast-o-Matic.

Disney Animated Canon: Do not say that direct-to-video sequels are better than the original movies. With some caution, you may be able to get away with praising most of them, but saying you liked it more than the original is a huge no-no, especially if the original was a Disney Renaissance film. And the live-action remakes must be forgotten about altogether.

The Simpsons:
Do not speak positively about the infamous episode "The Principal and the Pauper'', or else you will receive the sentence for anyone in Springfield bringing up the events of the episode, which is punishment by torture.
Under no circumstances should you say you liked "Lisa Goes Gaga" or "The Musk Who Fell To Earth" either, as both of these episodes are even more reviled than "The Principal and the Pauper".
Do not ship Patty Bouvier with any male characters as she is canonically a lesbian in the show.
Likewise, do not ship Waylon Smithers with any female characters, as he's canonically gay. (And even when shipping him with male characters, tread carefully, as Burns x Smithers and Moe x Smithers shippers can get quite... territorial about their respective ships.)

Miraculous Ladybug:
Do not even dare to say anything good about the episode "Chameleon", or say that it wasn't as bad as most fans claim. It's easily the most disliked episode of the entire series for a reason.
It's not a good idea to bring up Thomas Astruc's decision to have Chloe join the Big Bad at the end of Season 3, as fans are upset over the fact that it means her redemption arc was thrown out the window, especially after it was shown she could change.
Don't ever speak positively about Félix to the fandom, mainly due to his personality and actions. In fact, Thomas Astruc deliberately made him a major Hate Sink.
It is not a good idea to be a fan of or say anything even a little bit positive about Lila Rossi.

Baldur's Gate: There are various topics that are quite risky to mention. Namely:
Be careful if you criticize either the first Baldur's Gate in comparison to Baldur's Gate II, particularly if your point of view is influenced by more modern games such as Dragon Age and Baldur's Gate III, or vice versa if you criticize the sequel in comparison to the first game, particularly if your point of view is influenced by classic Gold Box games and old pen & paper rpgs. The flamewar is lurking and in both sides there are certain opinions that are generally not well received, particularly because they are perceived by the majority as taking the games out of their contexts.
Never ever link a reference the (un)famous blogger Lilura, who got banned by most communities associated with this game for the very harsh and uncompromising bashing of the sequel compared to the first game, and her unorthodox general opinion about the evolution of c-rpgs.
Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear in relation to the Gamergate controversy and similar issues can ignite hot flamewars with a minority of vocal complainers who claim that there is a lgbt agenda in action. Sometimes even discussions whether it is a worthy addition to the saga can lead to a clash between different opinions, but these are more general.
Never say to Baldur's Gate III fans that you think it is not a true part of the series. Conversely, never say to fans of the original saga that the new installment makes it look outdated and flawed.
If you don't want to make virtual enemies, avoid throwing trash on Imoen.

The Flash:
If you value your life, never say anything positive about Heroes in Crisis. It was so hated that DC decided to do a massive damage control for this story and make it look like it never happened in the first place.
When it comes to live-action adaptations, don't say that Ezra Miller was more likable than Grant Gustin or you'll be erased from history.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl:
Over the years since its debut, Generation IV as a whole has become one of the most beloved Generations by the majority of the fandom for various reasons. Because of this, saying that Gen IV is a bad Gen will cause fans to gang up on you.
Go ahead and say that you didn't mind the NPC trade with Mindy note Who is notorious for wanting a Medicham for her Haunter, which due to it being a trade would mean the Haunter in question would evolve into Gengar, only for the Haunter to be holding an Everstone to prevent this. Fans despise this in-game trade mainly due to its trollish nature.
In many parts of the fandom, criticizing Pokémon Platinum is bound to get you in trouble, as those people consider it one of the best entries in the main series.
Due to how they turned out, don't say that Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are good remakes. In fact, don't even refer to them as remakes, as they come off as more Updated Rereleases than anything.

It's not a good idea to say that Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) was a good game or that you liked it, given the many problems with it, such as its rushed and unfinished nature, its incoherent story, its numerous amounts of glitches and bugs, or the character of Princess Elise, who is also notorious for kissing a dead Sonic. This also goes for Sonic Boom for the same reasons.
Conversely, saying anything negative about Sonic '06's soundtrack or the villain Mephiles the Dark can also be a bad idea.

Alien:
Are you considering speaking bad about Aliens, considered by the fandom to be one of the defining films in the series? If you do, fans will leave you to be brutally killed by the Xenomorph. Same applies to the first movie.
Similarly, do not speak positively of Alien³, as fans loathe that movie for the massive Happy Ending Override of the much beloved ending of Aliens. Do so and you'll be taken out by another Xenomorph.

RWBY:
Originally, the big draw to the show was that its creator was Monty Oum, a web animator known for his dramatic and Rule of Cool fight sequences. During the first three years of the show, it was difficult for fans who didn't know who Oum was and didn't like his fighting styles to state that without experiencing backlash. Even after a decade, the fandom still tends to target fans who don't like Oum's fighting style, or who prefer post-Monty fights to the Monty-era fights.
For those fans who dislike the direction of the show after Volume 3, it is considered unfathomable that anyone could like it or the quality of it. However, while there is fandom consensus that Volume 5 hit Seasonal Rot, there's also a consensus that the show started Growing the Beard from Volume 6. New fans coming into the show post-Volume 6 also tend not to understand the hate for Volume 5 that exists among older fans, and have experienced backlash from older fans for admitting as much.
There's a consensus among both the show's fans and hate-watchers that it's not acceptable for people to state Monty Oum would dislike the show's direction after his death or would do things better. Some Internet forums even impose rules to enforce this.
While you could get away with doing so in the first two Volumes, do not speak positively about Adam Taurus. His arrogant personality, his treatment of Blake, his goals for the White Fang, and his various other actions from Volume 3 onward have effectively made him arguably the most hated character in the entire series. The only positive thing that can be said about Adam are his fight scenes.

Kirby on its own is already a Sacred Cow, but among fans the biggest way to get yourself crucified is to criticize Kirby Super Star. The game is considered one of the best in the series and claiming that it's a bad game is sure to get you murdered.
Depending on the fan though, it is possible to get away with saying the Updated Re-release, Kirby Super Star Ultra, is better than Super Star.

Dragon Ball:
Either trashing on it or saying it doesn't exist is recommended if you ever decide to bring up Dragonball Evolution to fans of the franchise, but praising the movie or admitting it's not bad... good luck trying to summon Shenron, because there's a high chance that there'll be no trace of you left by the time they're through with you.
Do not compare Goku to Superman, and if you don't want a SSGSS Kamehameha to your face, don't suggest Superman is stronger.
Regarding Broly, as of his re-introduction in Dragon Ball Super, saying that you prefer pre-Super Broly over his current iteration will result in one heck of an ass-kicking, as his Super iteration is considered to be a much better character than he was before.

Harry Potter:
While liking the movies is fine, do not say that they are better than the books. Otherwise, the Avada Kedavra spell is all that will await you.
The fandom's most Sacred Cow is the third book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It's okay if it's not your personal favorite in the series, but it should be in your top three at least. It's more complicated with the film version of Prisoner of Azkaban, which is mostly beloved but it does have some Broken Base issues due to changes that were made from the book.
Don't praise the film versions of Goblet of Fire and Half-Blood Prince as good adaptations of their source material. It is okay to say that you liked some specific scenes or moments in those films, but you must still regard them as failures overall.
As much criticism as fans have for the mainline Potter films, you should still avoid ranking the Fantastic Beasts films above them. You have some leeway with the first one, which has its defenders, but any ranking of the eleven Wizarding World films absolutely must bottom out with Crimes of Grindelwald and Secrets of Dumbledore.
Don't say that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is canon. Fans would sooner accept My Immortal as canon, and that's saying something.
For all of its bickering, the fandom agrees on only one thing: Dolores Umbridge is to be utterly despised at all times. In fact, she is so hated that Draco in Leather Pants is never used for her.

Cardcaptor Sakura: Even if you were a relatively innocent kid that wasn't aware of the original when it came out, it's best not to mention the dub, let alone that you like it, to most fans, as many consider it to be one of the worst anime dubs ever made. This is mostly due to as while the Americanization and removal of any romantic relationships (even the heterosexual ones) in a mostly ROMANCE series wasn't bad enough, in an effort to make to show gender-neutral (read: suitable for a male audience), Kids WB cut out any episodes not focused on Syaoran to make him a co-protagonist with Sakura (possibly even make him the main character over Sakura). Even simply referring to the series as Cardcaptors is enough to set fans off.

While you can get away with hating his personality and actions, actually hating Rugal Bernstein's actual status as a villain or his difficulty as a boss is off-limits, as many fans consider him to be one of SNK's vilest and thus finest antagonists, alongside appreciating the brutal challenge fighting him is. Criticize either, and you'll probably be slashed apart courtesy of the Genocide Cutter.

Saying to the fans that you liked K9999 is generally a bad idea, as even SNK despises the character, eventually removing him from 2002's updated rerelease and replacing him with the more original and likable character Nameless. Do so anyway, especially to fans of Nameless, and expect to be burned alive by a Rinkou.

Saints Row:
Do not say anything negative about Saints Row 2 unless you want to be buried alive like Shogo. And while Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row IV are okay to like, don't even suggest that they are better than Saints Row 2. note The original Saints Row game goes mostly unacknowledged since not only is it considered mediocre at best, but due to it being an Xbox 360 exclusive title (unlike the sequels, which were multiplatform), many Saints Row fans have never actually played it.
Do not say anything positive about either the Alternate Continuity game Agents of Mayhem or the 2022 Continuity Reboot either, or the same as above will happen. The latter was so poorly-received that it was a Creator Killer for Volition.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: "Everyone Knows It's Bendy" was already very disliked upon its initial airing, mainly because of the plot being mostly driven by the characters acting like idiots or out-of-character, but has progressively gathered more and more hatred among fans of the series and even people outside of the fandom for just about every single aspect they can point out at the titular Bendy instead, to the point that they place him among the worst of their character/general opinions seemingly for the sake of getting some kicks (even Lauren Faust herself has admitted to hating Bendy). Any small mention or speech about the episode or Bendy being good in the slightest is guaranteed to get you relentlessly, messily pummeled with neverending, burning hatred.

The Fairly Oddparents:
Saying that you liked the three live-action movies note A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!, A Fairly Odd Christmas, and A Fairly Odd Summer will most likely enrage the fandom, especially those who are fans of Channel Chasers. Even considering them canon can lead to this note The canonicity of the live-action movies is ambiguous to begin with.
Similarly, do not say anything positive about the live-action spinoff/reboot The Fairly Oddparents Fairly Odder, as it's just as hated as the live-action movies. Even Nickelodeon seemed to agree and wiped Fairly Odder from existence.
While saying you like Poof will still have half the fandom defend your opinion, and saying you like Chloe will only lead to some upset fans, saying you like Sparky or that he's a good character to the fandom will cause the flames to be seen all the way to Yugopotamia. Even critics, staff members, and network executives hated the character, leading to his immediate removal come the following season.
Do not say that Channel Chasers was a bad special, as the fandom considers it to be the best entry in the entire series. The most you can get away with is saying it has a couple flaws, but even that's pushing it.
Saying you liked the infamous episode "It's a Wishful Life" or that it was a good episode will get the fandom angry at you, as even the writers and Butch Hartman themselves don't look fondly on it.
Speaking positively about how Trixie Tang was handled in the episode "Just the Two of Us" can get you in trouble by fans, due to how the episode ended up turning Trixie into a crazed Yandere.
When it comes to Shipping, do not speak negatively about Timmy/Tootie to the fandom, unless you want the majority of them to attack you. Unlike other examples, however, you can still ship Timmy with someone else, but using Die for Our Ship with Timmy/Tootie is a big no.
Never, ever claim that there was a ninth or tenth season.

Best way to get a whoopin'? Criticizing Super Metroid. It's unanimously considered a landmark game and a masterpiece of level design and craftsmanship by fans and critics alike. Decades after its release, it is still considered the best game in the entire series and one of the greatest video games ever made, so if you go after it, you might need to equip the Varia Suit to resist the flames.

Any kind of appreciation for The Amazing Spider-Man (2022) is as dangerous as fighting Peter when he isn't making jokes, due to it starting off with a vaguely defined incident that rendered Spider-Man even more of a Hero with Bad Publicity than he usually is, followed by a blatant attempt to take Mary Jane off the table as a potential love interest, and then killing and resurrecting Kamala Khan at the drop of a hat.

Star Fox:
A good way to get yourself lynched by the fandom is to criticize Star Fox 64, as it's considered a Sacred Cow and the best entry in the series, with none of the entries that came after able to match it.
Bringing up the quality of Star Fox Zero will irk a number of fans, but speak positively of the gyro-based controls the game has, and fans will blast you without warning.

Sesame Street:
Saying that you unironically like Elmo will have older fans strongly teach you a lesson on how you should leave certain things in the past rather than stick with them. And yes, it won't be pretty.
Don't even THINK about making even an ounce of criticism regarding the episode dealing with Mr. Hooper's deathnote Episode 1839, considered to be one of the best episodes of the entire series, as doing so would also be seen as disrespectful.

Total Drama:
If you liked/enjoyed All-Stars, keep that opinion to yourself.
It is not a good idea to say that "Sundae Muddy Sundae" is your favorite episode. If you do, there's a good chance you might get eliminated by the fans.
On the flipside, saying you dislike Island is asking to be thrown off a 10,000 foot cliff into a lake with sharks.

Saying something the tiniest bit negative about The Mandalorian (The first two seasons at least. Season three wasn't as well-received as the previous seasons.) is enough for Din Djarin himself to hunt you down. Even many Original Trilogy purists consider it the best piece of Star Wars media outside the original trilogy. The Child/Grogu is especially off-limits to criticism.

Drawing any dark-skinned character (ex: Nessa, Bea, Nemona) with a lighter skin tone will upset the fans. It's to the point where Pokémon: Twilight Wings, an official production overseen by Game Freak themselves, got flak for depicting Bea as light-skinned, as well as Pokémon Masters getting flak for depicting Nessa as light-skinned.

Danganronpa:
The third trial from Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair has gained a whole lot of infamy from the fandom, due to reasons such as Mikan Tsumiki's motive being the much-maligned Despair Disease, the fact that it would have been impossible for her to pull off both murders in the way and timeframe she did, that Hiyoko Saionji's murder wasn't elaborated upon, the rushed nature of the trial itself, or most infamously, Mikan's execution. As such, it's not a good idea to mention anything positive about it, and if you do, just be sure prepared for what brutal execution you'll get from the thousands of fired-up individuals, especially those who like Mikan.
For Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, do not say anything good about Haiji Towa, considered by the fandom to be the most hated character in the whole series.

Unless you have the need to get your arms sliced open by multiple swords, NEVER bring up Ashi's death at the end of the series to fans of the show.

As much criticism as fans have for the mainline Potter films, you should still avoid ranking the Fantastic Beasts films above them. You have some leeway with the first one, which has its defenders, but any ranking of the eleven Wizarding World films absolutely must bottom out with Crimes of Grindelwald and Secrets of Dumbledore.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars:
Do not say anything negative about this series. While it was rather contentious early on, it improved significantly over time, to the point where it's widely considered to be the best animated Star Wars series, one of the best Star Wars TV series overall (alongside The Mandalorian and Andor) and better than the Prequel Trilogy films.
Ahsoka Tano is a character who is considered sacred by the fandom, and saying anything negative about her can and will lead to you being targeted and then fired at by both Death Stars, Starkiller Base, and every single Xyston-class Star Destroyer, all at once. Interestingly, Ahsoka started off as mainly disliked, but as time went on and she was given notable Character Development, she cemented herself as a popular character, showing that she had to gain the positive reputation she has today, something the fans say she has earned and, at the end of the day, simply makes the aforementioned all the more justified.
Do not speak positively about Pong Krell to the fandom, other than to praise him as a villain. To put it simply, he's to the Star Wars fandom what Dolores Umbridge is to the Harry Potter fandom.
Related to the previous point, don't say anything negative about the Clone Troopers, since they're considered one of the best elements in this series. The fact that Krell treated them like garbage is the main reason behind the fans' immense hatred of him.
Don't say anything negative about Darth Maul's return, as it's agreed that Maul was an under-utilized character in The Phantom Menace as well as the arcs featuring him being some of the best arcs in Star Wars.

Metal Gear:
Bringing up anything to do with the series after Konami's firing of Hideo Kojima after Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (not to mention releasing Metal Gear Solid 3 Pachinko and Metal Gear Survive) will illicit rage from fans.
If Konami ever decides to make a Metal Gear game without Kojima's involvement, don't. Ever. Support it. For example, this instantly became the case with the aforementioned Metal Gear Survive.
Speaking ill of Snake Eater — the series' Sacred Cow and generally in contention for being one of the greatest video games of all time — is, for lack of a better term, ill-advised.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance: While you can, albeit with much caution, criticize anything else about the game, criticizing the soundtrack will cause you to get beaten down Senator Armstrong-style.

While most fans won't mind it if you like Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, suggesting you prefer it over Donkey Kong Country or Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (or Retro's titles) is not recommended unless you want the fandom to throw barrels at you, as it is regarded to be vastly inferior to those games by fans.

The Dark Knight Trilogy: Criticizing The Dark Knight in any way is a good way to either get run over by the Tumbler or more likely, get yet another beating from the Caped Crusader himself. Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker is especially off-limits to any criticism (though it is okay to say you like Mark Hamill or Jack Nicholson better). Christian Bale's portrayal of Batman has been criticized somewhat, but he's still considered one of the best actors to play Batman, with only Keaton and Kevin Conroy being okay to prefer over Bale.

While liking the movies is fine, do not say that they are better than the books. Otherwise, the Avada Kedavra spell is all that will await you.

The Owl House:
Unless you want the fandom to send a death hex to you, don't ship Luz and Amity with anyone but each other (especially not with Hunter) or say you dislike the two as a pairing, since they're the Official Couple and the One True Pairing of the show.
Alternatively, suggesting you ship Amity with any of the male characters is not a wise move and is a guaranteed way to get labeled as a lesbophobe by nerds everywhere due to the fact that she is canonically a lesbian in the show. The same punishment holds for attempting to ship Luz with any male character.
Sympathizing with or attempting a Cry for the Devil with Odalia is never a good idea. There's a reason why the vast majority of fans hate her and consider her to be pure evil, and not for reasons like Evil Is Cool with Emperor Belos.

Love Live!: To put it simply, don't insinuate that any character is anything short of a lesbian to the fandom. Just don't. Even headcanoning them as bisexual or pansexual (thus giving room for the idea that they still like other girls) is unacceptable. And if you draw porn of the characters having sex with dudes, prepare to be punished even more by the fandom, and we don't mean Nozomi's "washi washi".

Macross: Bringing up the American "adaptation" Robotech is bad enough (the only reason why you won't be unanimously shot down on sight is because a good portion of Macross fans used to be Robotech fans). Bringing up Harmony Gold, the creators of Robotech who are infamous for being the reason the Macross franchise suffered No Export for You until 2021 and for suing other companies into oblivion for even the slightest cases of perceived copyright infringement of characters they didn't create yet own the distribution rights to, is enough to draw the anger of the entire fandom and will get you unanimously shot down. Protoculture forbid you say anything positive about Harmony Gold, otherwise you can expect yourself to end up in a remake of the end of The Wings of Farewell: Being blasted apart by the combined power of an array of Wave-Motion Guns. And once the dust is settled, they'll summon the Battletech and Transformers fandoms as well to make sure nothing left of you remains, considering those franchise have also been sued by Harmony Gold in the past.

It is strongly discouraged to trash Uncle Iroh for any reason whatsoever.
When it comes to villains, do not say that you dislike Azula, considered to be one of the most popular and competent villains in the series.
On the opposite side of the coin, saying Fire Lord Ozai wasn't that bad of a father or leader of the Fire Nation, or sympathizing with him in general is a good way of getting the right side of your face burned ala Zuko. Fans of Zuko especially despise him for being the reason why he's a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds for two-thirds of the series.
Legend of Korra: When it comes to Shipping, the fandom has this rule: Never hate on Korra/Asami, due to the fact that they became an Official Couple at the end of the series, notable for being one of the first confirmed same-sex couples in children's Western Animation. It doesn't have to be your favorite ship, however, you can ship her with someone else but hating the ship or using a Die for Our Ship is a big no-no.
While Legend of Korra does have its fans, it's still not a good idea to say that it's better than the original series.
When it comes to fans within LoK, don't even dream of putting Unalaq among the top 3 best villains of that show. Hell, don't put him among the top 30. There's a lot of reasons why even Korra fans hate season 2 and Unalaq is one of, if not, the biggest reason for that season's reputation.

Saying that you liked Pokémon the Series: Black & White or that it's your favorite part of the anime is enough to make its fandom go ballistic, as it's derided for various problems such as reverting Ash back to a novice Trainer, Iris (and sometimes Cilan) being considered The Load, how Team Plasma was handled in the anime, and more. Even just bringing up the Meteonite Arc that had to be dropped due to the Tohoku Earthquake in 2011 will cause fans to want your head on a pike over how it ended up ruining the saga as a whole.

When it comes to Shiny hunting, never count any guaranteed Shiny encounter (such as the Lake of Rage Gyarados, the gift Dratini/Gible, or the Hidden Grotto Haxorus) among the Shinies you caught, as the fandom only considers Shinies that are found by chance in the wild or similar means as such.

Either trashing on it or saying it doesn't exist is recommended if you ever decide to bring up Dragonball Evolution to fans of the franchise, but praising the movie or admitting it's not bad... good luck trying to summon Shenron, because there's a high chance that there'll be no trace of you left by the time they're through with you.

Wonder Woman (2017): By merit of breaking the glass ceiling, you're unlikely to find many brave enough to point out any flaws in Wonder Woman's cinematic debut. The climactic battle is considered fair game though, due to being indistinguishable from any other superhero movie. The sequel is outright dismissed thanks to making Wonder Woman a date rapist and reducing her arch-nemesis Cheetah down to an insignificant henchwoman.

Saying that any game besides F-Zero GX is good is fine. Saying that they are better than GX will get you Falcon Punched out the nearest window. Make that "into the Fire Field lava" if the game in question is F-Zero: GP Legend or F-Zero Climax, due to being successive games that are pseudo-3D games and are seen as disappointing spinoffs, or F-Zero 99 due to many GX fans being upset that after such a long Sequel Gap, Nintendo made a Battle Royale Game remake of F-Zero (1990) rather than an entirely new F-Zero game.

Mentioning AdmiralDT8 anywhere would cause, at minimum, people to react in total disgust and mockery, and at most, all Disney lovers around the world to slam into your house at breakneck speed, break off the cord of your monitor, and fire a massive beam at whatever's in there point blank, destroying them once and for all. There is a extremely good reason why discussion of him is outright banned in some parts of the fandom to the point where bringing him up in social media is highly discouraged. whyAdmiralDT8 is the online alias of Darrel Timmerman, an artist, animator and writer in the DisneyTVA community known for his artwork, animations and songs. He gained notoriety for his fanfiction Loyalty Among Worlds, a retelling of Amphibia starring his Original Character and self insert, Darrel Loyalität. The fandom's ire is a result of said original character being eventually paired up with the show's main protaganist, Anne Boonchuy. This seemingly harmless ship immediately takes a rather disturbing turn once you realise that Darrel Loyalität is meant to be a self insert of Darrel Timmerman himself whom is 28 years old, meaning that he is practically shipping himself with a teenager causing many to consider him to be a borderline pedophile. Whilst Darrel denied actually loving Anne, this did little, if anything, to quell the backlash.

The Legend of Zelda:
Do NOT criticize Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time to the fandom due to their Sacred Cow status. Do so, and you're going to get CR-UC-IF-IED! Debating over which of the two is the better game, however, is a different story.
On the topic of Ocarina of Time, the Water Temple is notably infamous for various reasons and considered to be the worst dungeon in the entire series (even Shigeru Miyamoto apologized for the dungeon). Saying anything positive about the Water Temple (unless its the acclaimed Dark Link miniboss fight), or worse, boasting that the dungeon isn't that hard and those who find it difficult are wimps, and not even the full Triforce will protect you from the fandom's deserved wrath.

Similarly, do not speak positively of Alien³, as fans loathe that movie for the massive Happy Ending Override of the much beloved ending of Aliens. Do so and you'll be taken out by another Xenomorph.

Are you considering speaking bad about Aliens, considered by the fandom to be one of the defining films in the series? If you do, fans will leave you to be brutally killed by the Xenomorph. Same applies to the first movie.

Batman:
Don't speak positively about All-Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder (unless it's ironic) unless you want to be beaten up by the goddamn Batman and be forced to eat rats in the Batcave, as it's widely regarded to be one of the worst Batman comics of all time. And especially don't say you like Batman's depiction in the comic.
Don't say you don't think Cassandra Cain should be Batgirl unless you want to be beaten up by her and the rest of the Bat Family, as It's universally agreed that she is the one most suited for the Batgirl mantle besides Barbara Gordon herself.
Don't suggest you agree with Cass' temporary Face–Heel Turn and her stint as the head of the League of Assassins in One Year Later, as many fans consider it to be one of the worst cases of character assassination in all of comic books, with DC quickly undoing it and handwaving it as her becoming Brainwashed and Crazy in response to the severe backlash, before brushing it under the rug shortly after.
Saying you agree with Barbara Gordon getting crippled by The Joker in The Killing Joke is a good way to have The Joker come to your house and shoot you, as even fans who otherwise love the comic found it to be its worst aspect, with the book's writer — Alan Moore — deeply regretting it.
Regardless of what one thinks of Frank Miller and his later Batman comics, it's not wise to criticize The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One unless you want to be beaten up by fans, as both are considered to be classics that have played a huge role in modernizing Batman and revitalizing comic books as a whole.
Go on, suggest that Batman should kill his foes (while you can suggest killing Joker with extreme caution, as it is a massive Broken Base), unless you don't want to be beaten to a pulp by the Dark Knight himself, on top of the fandom, as his Thou Shall Not Kill rule is one of his most defining characteristics and partly what seperates him from other dark and edgy heroes/anti-heroes.
Don't describe the Robins as Batman's "soldiers" unless you want to be beaten up by all of them at once. Most fans prefer to view them as Batman's sons or wards instead, especially since Bruce adopted most of them (and Damian is his biological son). In all fairness, some of the comics (especially those by Frank Miller) do go for this interpretation, but since many fans hate this interpretation, it's equally unwise to suggest you support it.

The Natural: While at the time it was released you could get away with it, nowadays saying that you liked the original novel's bleaker ending will lead to you getting sent flying into the field lights, as the film's ending is considered by many, both film and baseball fans, to be one of the most spectacular home runs depicted in fiction.

One way to get yourself chastised by fellow amateur geniuses is to say good things about the infamous Planet Sheen to fans of the original show, as they have no fondness for it, especially since Planet Sheen crashed and burned not long after debuting. It's rather telling that even John A. Davis, Jimmy Neutron's creator, went on to say that he found a whole show focused on Sheen a very bad idea, since in his words, Sheen is a character who works better in "small doses".

Star Trek
Star Trek: The Original Series:
Speaking negatively about the episode "City on the Edge of Forever", in contention for being the best episode in the entire franchise, will cause you to suffer the same fate Edith Keeler did.
It is highly illogical to speak positively of the notorious episode "Spock's Brain", arguably considered to be the worst episode in the whole franchise, unless you want angry fans to remove your brain.
Star Trek: The Next Generation:
Never profess any fondness for Wesley Crusher to the fandom, especially as he's notable for being the former Trope Namer for Creator's Pet.
Criticizing "The Best of Both Worlds" two-parter, the other episode in contention for being the best episode in the entire franchise, will get you assimilated by the Borg.
Star Trek: Voyager: Speaking positively about the infamous "Threshold" episode is a good way to make the fandom throw you in the brig, given the bizarreness of the episode.
Star Trek: Enterprise: The final episode of the series is Terra Prime and mentioning an episode that does not exist will not make you friends.
Star Trek: Picard: Believing that the first and/or second seasons were better than the third will get you tied up and tossed at the Borg.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Don't attack the Musical Episode or fans will think you are a killjoy.

Super Mario Bros.:
Similar to the "Sonic Mandates" above, the "Mario Mandates", as they're called, are rules that Nintendo has made which dictate what creators can and can't do when designing Mario characters. This forbids the creation of unique characters that are various Mario races (Goombas, Koopas, Toads, etc.) starting with games such as Paper Mario: Sticker Star and forbids the re-appearance of any such characters made before the mandates, which greatly restricts creativity and forces such characters and enemies to look more generic. Saying that you support these mandates to any fan of the franchise will result in you being left at Bowser's mercy, complete with him ripping a chunk of hair off your moustache just for good measure.
Do not say that Mario and Luigi's last name is "Mario" (and if Word of God says it is, don't accept it as such) unless you want the fandom to roast you with Fire Flowers.
Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario World are basically Sacred Cows, so criticizing any of them will cause the fandom to pummel you.
When it comes to the 3D games, do not criticize Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Galaxy, unless you want the fandom to give you a quick Game Over.
Super Mario Galaxy: You're better off not speaking positively about the Spring Mushroom, due to its awkward movement and controls.
Super Mario RPG is considered another Sacred Cow by the fandom. Saying that any other Mario RPG (even the first two Paper Mario games) is better than it, and the fandom will force you to face Culex.
Paper Mario:
Do not say that Paper Mario 64 and/or Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door aren't the best games in the series unless you want a whooping. Which of the two is better than the other happens to be a different discussion, however.
Even so much as mentioning Paper Mario: Sticker Star around seasoned Paper Mario fans is enough to result in the same thing as the above, for reasons such as dumbing down the story or having generic Toads all over the place at the expense of other NPC Mario characters (caused by the "Mario Mandates" above). If you imply that you think Sticker Star is better than any of the first three games (especially 64 and The Thousand Year Door), you're in for even more of a world of hurt from the fandom. The Origami King is generally safe to bring up, and while Color Splash is a Contested Sequel, it doesn't attract the same level of vitriol as Sticker Star.
Saying anything bad about Vivian, who is considered to be one of the best Mario characters period due to a combination of her sympathetic backstory, her Character Development where she gains the will to defy her Big Sister Bully, her usefulness in combat, her unique design, and being one of the best representations of a transgender character in video games, will result in the fanbase forcing you to fight both Bonetail and the Shadow Queen at once.

On the other hand, there are a few bouts where nobody disagrees with the results and doing so is not a good idea. For example, everyone is in agreement that Omni-Man vs. Homelander had the correct victor, and any dissent will lead to the 3 fandoms coming at you to feed you your own heart, especially when considering that even the official Twitter accounts for both series approved the outcome.

The King of Fighters:
While you can get away with hating his personality and actions, actually hating Rugal Bernstein's actual status as a villain or his difficulty as a boss is off-limits, as many fans consider him to be one of SNK's vilest and thus finest antagonists, alongside appreciating the brutal challenge fighting him is. Criticize either, and you'll probably be slashed apart courtesy of the Genocide Cutter.
Saying to the fans that you liked K9999 is generally a bad idea, as even SNK despises the character, eventually removing him from 2002's updated rerelease and replacing him with the more original and likable character Nameless. Do so anyway, especially to fans of Nameless, and expect to be burned alive by a Rinkou.
In The King of Fighters XV, it's all but stated the character Krohnen is actually K9999 in disguise, having undergone Character Development and being less of a Tetsuo clone. As a result, it is possible to get away with liking the current iteration of the character.
As practically everyone in the fandom have concluded The King of Fighters XII to be little more than a glorified demo for The King of Fighters XIII, expect a total smack down if you say you loved it or consider it to be one of your favorite games of all time.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Praising the film adaptations is a surefire way to get the fandom to want to burn you at the stake, as they are widely despised by not just the fanbase but the author of the books as well (to the point that he even wrote a letter on his blog for kids to show their teachers if they try to show the movie in class). Heck, even mentioning the films is enough to set some fans off.

Death Note fans will be writing down your name in the blink of an eye should you praise any aspect (unless it's Willem Dafoe's portrayal of Ryuk, who even they'll admit did a pretty good job) of Netflix's adaptation of the series.

While liking Street Fighter III is fine, saying it's better than II will earn a bit of an ire, most likely due to Akira Yasuda's regret.

In the same topic, you can debate of your favorite ship (either MJ, Felicia, Gwen or any other girl he dated before but definitely not Carlie Cooper) but the consensus in the fandom is still the same: Spider-Man should be married and have kids and if he should be separated from said wife, it should be via a divorce, and saying a married or a divorced Peter can't work or he should not age is 100% sure of making the fandom angry against you. Thanks to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the fandom saw the idea can work.

On the other hand, criticizing the villainous aspects of Team Rocket, Team Galactic, or Team Plasma (or their leaders Giovanni, Cyrus, and Ghetsis, respectively) can also be a bad idea, given that each of them are considered to be popular villains in most parts of the fandom.

RoboCop: You can criticize the two sequels and its remake all you want, but criticizing the first movie, seen by critics and moviegoers as one of the absolute best action/R-rated movies of its own decade, will get you shot by none other than RoboCop himself.

Superman:
Never, ever bring up Matrix, Linda Danvers, Cir-El, or Ariella Kent to fans of Supergirl and when talking about Supergirl.
If you ask who would win a battle between Superman himself and a Superman Substitute, the only good answer is Superman himself, especially if you decide to make him fight Homelander. In this case, the result is always "Superman wins without being touched once". Needless to say, any dissent will lead you to be epically curbstomped by Superman himself.

For Xenoblade Chronicles X, do not mention the censorship to fans. note The localization removed the bust-size option from character customization and altered some clothes when Lin, who is underage, wears them. The resulting backlash can put Cauldros to shame.

Persona:
Don't mention the Beginner and Very Easy modes from Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden, respectively, let alone state that you're okay with the existences of these modes, to fans of the series. And if you hold the opinion that it's okay to play on these modes, point out that they're optional, or worst of all, play on those modes, well...let's just say it's really upsetting that Trafuri doesn't exist in real life.
Persona 4: Don't say anything positive about Mitsuo Kubo if you don't want to be thrown into the Midnight Channel.
Persona 5: Unless it's a Love to Hate opinion, never say anything positive about any of the game's antagonists (excluding Sae Niijima, Akechi and Maruki), due to their various unlikeable natures, or else expect the fanbase to enter your Mental World to deliver a beatdown to your shadow self.

Back to the Future:
Criticizing the two sequels is understandable, but criticizing the original or calling it a "bad film" will either get you covered in cow manure, forcing you to get stuck in 1955, or worse, get hanged, drawn and quartered by everyone, their parents, and their grandparents as it is considered to be one of the most beloved movies by many movie fans.
Fans are very happy with how the series bowed out gracefully after three films, so do not suggest that it's time for a Back to the Future Part IV, or worse, a remake of the original.

Batman: The Animated Series:
Don't admit you like "I've Got Batman in My Basement" unless you want to be attacked by vultures, as it's widely regarded by fans and the show's staff as the worst episode in the entire series.
Don't say anything positive about the episode "The Terrible Trio", as Bruce Timm isn't too fond of it.
Saying you like the Joker's infamous redesign in The New Batman Adventures is a good way to find yourself thrown out of a window by Mr. J, given how widely hated the redesign is (even by the staff of the show).
Don't say anything even remotely negative about Kevin Conroy's portrayal of Batman or Mark Hamill's portrayal of the Joker, as many fans consider them to be the definitive actors of the characters.

Battletech: As with the Macross fandom, do not bring up Harmony Gold in a positive light, considering them suing FASA over a perceived case of copyright infringement led to good portion of the early mecha designs being Exiled from Continuity as "The Unseen" for decades. If you do, you can expect to have the whole Battletech fandom gunning for your head - if the Macross fandom hasn't already blasted you apart to smithereens by that point.

Pokémon Black and White:
Do not speak positively about the designs of the Vanillite and Trubbish lines, considered by most of the fandom to be among the worst Pokémon designs.
Don't even imply that Ghetsis cared for N in the slightest, as it's made pretty clear that he saw N as nothing more than a means to an end and used him in order to fulfill his plans.
Do not say that you didn't like the stories in either pair of games, given that this generation was the first to actually be story and character driven instead of having an Excuse Plot.
Do not speak negatively about Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 to the majority of the fandom (unless it's about the game's Bonus Feature Failure due to the Dream World shutting down in 2013), as it's seen in the same positive light as Platinum.

Paper Mario:
Do not say that Paper Mario 64 and/or Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door aren't the best games in the series unless you want a whooping. Which of the two is better than the other happens to be a different discussion, however.
Even so much as mentioning Paper Mario: Sticker Star around seasoned Paper Mario fans is enough to result in the same thing as the above, for reasons such as dumbing down the story or having generic Toads all over the place at the expense of other NPC Mario characters (caused by the "Mario Mandates" above). If you imply that you think Sticker Star is better than any of the first three games (especially 64 and The Thousand Year Door), you're in for even more of a world of hurt from the fandom. The Origami King is generally safe to bring up, and while Color Splash is a Contested Sequel, it doesn't attract the same level of vitriol as Sticker Star.
Saying anything bad about Vivian, who is considered to be one of the best Mario characters period due to a combination of her sympathetic backstory, her Character Development where she gains the will to defy her Big Sister Bully, her usefulness in combat, her unique design, and being one of the best representations of a transgender character in video games, will result in the fanbase forcing you to fight both Bonetail and the Shadow Queen at once.

Professing fondness for One More Day will have fans take you in to be on the receiving end of a brutal beating courtesy of Peter himself, as they despise that story for undoing Peter and Mary Jane's marriage via Ret-Gone, which was Joe Quesada's main goal with the story. To a lesser extent, the story reversed years of character development for Peter Parker and Aunt May (Peter being a teacher and an Avenger and May discovering Peter is Spider-Man). Needless to say, it's so horrifically bad that it's up to the point where there's actually a Revenge Fic fan-comic that shows Peter and Mary Jane themselves going all out to retcon Joe out of existence as revenge for doing this story.
Related to the above, it's best not to mention Joe Quesada at all when talking about the comic, due to his infamy.

My Hero Academia:
Disliking Izuku Midoriya or calling him a bad protagonist because he "cries all the time" quickly became this for fans, with many clarifying that he rarely ever cries in later arcs except for when it's deemed appropriate, such as Sir Nighteye's death. Even though he did cry quite a bit in the first few arcs, him crying was quite understandable given the treatment he had to endure for (initially) being quirk-less, which can make some of the criticism lean uncomfortably close into the Men Don't Cry stereotype that ends up promoting toxic masculinity.
Calling out Inko for having gained weight since Izuku's childhood. A lot of fans don't take kindly to people saying she has become ugly or unattractive due to gaining weight and put down those who say it by pointing out that it would be perfectly normal for a (technically) single mom to do such a thing. All things considered, should you be foolish enough to do this... well, it won't end well, to say the least, as you'll have the misfortune of being on the receiving end of a gargantuan pummelling, courtesy of Izuku himself as he goes absolutely berserk and brutally beats you up with a thousand United States of Smash with the rage of a thousand suns.
Saying that you like Mineta, or at the very least saying that you think he's a good character, will get you no shortage of death glares from the fandom since he's widely seen as The Scrappy of the entire series, as well as one of the most notorious scrappies in manga and anime in the last few years.
Do you like Overhaul? Do you think he's cool? Do you want him to be redeemed? Congratulations. You now have the entire fandom's undying hatred. Even feeling the slightest amount of sympathy for him in his current state is enough to set some fans off and get you on the receiving end of a whooping courtesy of the entire 1-A Class.

DC Extended Universe:
Despite the good qualities, even if you want to be beaten to death by fans of the cinematic universe just like how Superman and Doomsday did with each other, speaking positively of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is, dare we say it, not welcome, as even fans of its early output question numerous bizarre decisions such as the casual killing off of Dick Grayson and Jimmy Olsen, the shoehorning in of other Justice League members, Batman frequently violating his Thou Shall Not Kill rule, the characterization of Lex Luthor as a capering loon, drawing attention to the fact that both heroes' mothers are named Martha, adapting The Death of Superman only two films in, overall being too grim for its own good, and causing massive shake-ups that eventually resulted in numerous Aborted Arcs and the entire franchise being Cut Short. If you do decide to commit to that... well, good luck having fun out there.
Suicide Squad (2016): Do not say anything nice about Jared Leto's Joker. His appearance in the Snyder Cut will grant you some leniency since he has a simpler look, gets to exchange lines with Batman and shows off a dark sense of humour.
Wonder Woman (2017): By merit of breaking the glass ceiling, you're unlikely to find many brave enough to point out any flaws in Wonder Woman's cinematic debut. The climactic battle is considered fair game though, due to being indistinguishable from any other superhero movie. The sequel is outright dismissed thanks to making Wonder Woman a date rapist and reducing her arch-nemesis Cheetah down to an insignificant henchwoman.
Despite having more colour, a shorter runtime and addressing the criticisms of its predecessors, Justice League (2017) is still considered vastly inferior to the Snyder Cut due to making Steppenwolf dull, the shaky digital effects used to hide Henry Cavill's moustache, the added humour being nothing more than tacked-on quips and the cutting of many characters and moments that helped with world-building.
The Flash (2023): You're unlikely to find many fans of the multiversal sequence, as it involved digitally recreating the likenesses of long-dead actors for no other reason than to piggyback off the fond memories they instilled in an audience that by the 2020s had aged out of the conventional demographic.

Don't say anything positive about the manga or Chiho Saito. If you do, the lightest punishment you'll receive is a lecture on why Saito is the devil incarnate for something she said over a decade ago and changed her mind about later on.

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius:
One way to get yourself chastised by fellow amateur geniuses is to say good things about the infamous Planet Sheen to fans of the original show, as they have no fondness for it, especially since Planet Sheen crashed and burned not long after debuting. It's rather telling that even John A. Davis, Jimmy Neutron's creator, went on to say that he found a whole show focused on Sheen a very bad idea, since in his words, Sheen is a character who works better in "small doses".
Never, ever ship Jimmy with Betty. He's supposed to be with Cindy.

Even 'questionable' artwork of her will have them clamoring to have you blocked and reported, and no amount of arguing 'it's just a 2d drawing' or 'it's fictional' will dissuade them.

Star Trek: The Original Series:
Speaking negatively about the episode "City on the Edge of Forever", in contention for being the best episode in the entire franchise, will cause you to suffer the same fate Edith Keeler did.
It is highly illogical to speak positively of the notorious episode "Spock's Brain", arguably considered to be the worst episode in the whole franchise, unless you want angry fans to remove your brain.

Command & Conquer: Saying that Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight - a game viewed by the fandom as the Franchise Killer and one so reviled many fans pretend it never happened - is your favorite or is canon will have you subjected to the combined force of an Ion Cannon, Nuclear Missile, and Rift Generator.

Don't say that you like the new continuities better than the original.
Never bring up the film adaptation of Josie and the Pussycats to the fans of the series.
When it comes to ships involving Archie, don't say that you like the ship of him with Cheryl better than Betty or Veronica.

Devil May Cry:
While not to the same extent as the reboot, saying that you liked Devil May Cry 2 will cause the fans to destroy you with a powerful Devil Trigger.
Given that Devil May Cry 3 is considered by many to be one of the best games in the series, if not the best, speaking negatively about it will get you slashed by Nero with the Yamato.
Just mention DmC: Devil May Cry to a fan. Expect to be slashed apart over things such as the changes to Dante and the Take That!'s to the original continuity.
Even if you can deny it, the absolute banger of a character theme known as "Bury the Light", as featured in the Special Edition of Devil May Cry 5, is one that can't be spoken ill about under any circumstances. If you just happen to do that… To put it mildly, there will not be any motivation to fight back against the fired-up fanbase that will be the storm approaching towards you.

Pokémon
Pokémon Red and Blue: One of the biggest ways to anger the fanbase is to proclaim that Gen I is the only true Pokémon Generation and reject all Generations that came after it, as such closed-minded nostalgia is never tolerated by the fandom. It's still okay to like Gen I or have at as one of your favorites as long as you respect the other Gens, though.
Pokémon Gold and Silver: It's not a good idea to speak positively about Delibird, a Pokémon so poor that it's the franchise's poster boy for Joke Characters. You can speak positively about its future Paradox variant Iron Bundle, however.
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl:
Over the years since its debut, Generation IV as a whole has become one of the most beloved Generations by the majority of the fandom for various reasons. Because of this, saying that Gen IV is a bad Gen will cause fans to gang up on you.
Go ahead and say that you didn't mind the NPC trade with Mindy note Who is notorious for wanting a Medicham for her Haunter, which due to it being a trade would mean the Haunter in question would evolve into Gengar, only for the Haunter to be holding an Everstone to prevent this. Fans despise this in-game trade mainly due to its trollish nature.
In many parts of the fandom, criticizing Pokémon Platinum is bound to get you in trouble, as those people consider it one of the best entries in the main series.
Due to how they turned out, don't say that Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are good remakes. In fact, don't even refer to them as remakes, as they come off as more Updated Rereleases than anything.
Pokémon Black and White:
Do not speak positively about the designs of the Vanillite and Trubbish lines, considered by most of the fandom to be among the worst Pokémon designs.
Don't even imply that Ghetsis cared for N in the slightest, as it's made pretty clear that he saw N as nothing more than a means to an end and used him in order to fulfill his plans.
Do not say that you didn't like the stories in either pair of games, given that this generation was the first to actually be story and character driven instead of having an Excuse Plot.
Do not speak negatively about Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 to the majority of the fandom (unless it's about the game's Bonus Feature Failure due to the Dream World shutting down in 2013), as it's seen in the same positive light as Platinum.
Pokémon X and Y:
It's not a good idea to say that you were okay with the games not getting follow-ups (such as an Updated Re-release or sequel) of any kind, as it means that the various problems X and Y had will never be fixed.
Don't say anything positive about the postgame, or better yet, lack of postgame, as the only such location is a single town with only one notable attraction.
Pokémon Sun and Moon:
Do not say that you like Alolan Dugtrio or Alolan Persian's designs, as most fans consider them to be either lazy or awful.
You're free to praise any of the new additions and changes to Sun & Moon that Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon brought to the table...except the story, which is generally regarded by the fanbase to be far weaker than that of Sun & Moon, mostly owing to much of the depth of Lillie's dysfunctional family being removed and many of the new story elements (particularly the Ultra Recon Squad and where they're from) turning out to be superfluous and/or wasted. Saying that the story in US/UM is better than that of the previous games is thus highly unrecommended.
Pokémon Sword and Shield: While there's nothing wrong liking anything else about the game, saying that you're okay with "Dexit" (where not every Pokémon can be brought into games starting with Sword and Shield) will make at least a lot of trainers in the fanbase want to use Zacian and Zamazenta to annihilate your partner Pokemon out of existence.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet:
Do not say anything positive about Geeta as a Champion, much less Top Champion, as she's considered to be the worst one in the entire series. This may have been mitigated with the battle with her in the Indigo Disk DLC, which made her lineup much better.
From a story perspective, never speak positively about The Loyal Three or especially Pecharunt, due to what they did to Ogerpon. Speaking positively about them from a gameplay or competitive perspective may be a different matter, however,
Regarding Pokémon League Champions, Lance, Steven, and especially Cynthia are held in high regard in most parts of the fandom (Cynthia, for instance, is known for having one of the hardest battles in the series) and are considered to be the best Champions in the series. Criticizing any of them is not a good idea unless you want fans to have Lance's Dragonite, Steven's Metagross, or Cynthia's Garchomp annihilate you.
Opinions on villain teams and villain team leaders are quite mixed and stating who is the best/most evil/etc. will at worst lead to debates over your answer, but even thinking about saying anything positive about Team Flare (unless it's the anime version of them) will not go over well with the majority of the fandom. For some reason, it's been decided that they are the worst villain team. If you do, expect many people to say you are a child for liking their plan or saying you are no real fan.
In a similar vein, its not a good idea to speak positively about Team Yell or Macro Cosmos or even say that they're evil, especially since the former is just a group of rabid fans more than anything.
On the other hand, criticizing the villainous aspects of Team Rocket, Team Galactic, or Team Plasma (or their leaders Giovanni, Cyrus, and Ghetsis, respectively) can also be a bad idea, given that each of them are considered to be popular villains in most parts of the fandom.
Largely due to the scale of his plan, the majority of the fandom considers Cyrus (and by extension, Team Galactic) to be the most dangerous and threatening villain in the series. Saying that he isn't can cause them to turn against you.
"We want each region to feel unique." This statement has been used by Game Freak to justify the removal of several beloved game mechanics and quality-of-life features from game to game (the DexNav, walking Pokémon, the PSS etc), often only to replace them with far less-liked replacements. Agreeing with this line of logic is subsequently a good way to get yourself raked over burning coals by the angry fandom.
Given their lore, abilities, and powers over time, space, and creation, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Arceus are considered to be the most powerful Pokémon. Canon-wise, stating an opinion of them not being gods or any Pokémon being more powerful than them is not a good idea. This can also apply to Ultra Necrozma to a lesser extent.
On a related topic, do not say that Dialga and Palkia's signature moves, Roar of Time and Special Rend, aren't canonically the most powerful Pokémon moves, given their effects over time and space.
While the mechanic had started out as divisive when it was first introduced in Generation VI, Mega Evolution has become very well-regarded by most of the fandom, who didn't take kindly to it being Demoted to Extra in Generation VII and omitted completely in Generation VIII and on. Saying you dislike Mega Evolution or saying that mechanics such as Z-Moves, Dynamax, and/or the Terastal phenomenon are superior to it? Well, it's a shame Arceus will not be around to save you.
When it comes to Shiny hunting, never count any guaranteed Shiny encounter (such as the Lake of Rage Gyarados, the gift Dratini/Gible, or the Hidden Grotto Haxorus) among the Shinies you caught, as the fandom only considers Shinies that are found by chance in the wild or similar means as such.
Due to three consecutive generations having a Fire/Fighting-type starter line (Blaziken, Infernape, and Emboar), saying that you're okay with any more starter Pokémon having that type combination will set off the fandom. Even a Fire-type starter Pokémon just remotely resembling anything Fighting-type (such as Incineroar or Cinderace) can anger fans.
Drawing any dark-skinned character (ex: Nessa, Bea, Nemona) with a lighter skin tone will upset the fans. It's to the point where Pokémon: Twilight Wings, an official production overseen by Game Freak themselves, got flak for depicting Bea as light-skinned, as well as Pokémon Masters getting flak for depicting Nessa as light-skinned.
In recent years, the franchise has started to experience overt nostalgia pandering, mainly towards Gen I, with the abundance of Gen I Pokémon present in regional Pokédexes, and the majority of Mega Evolutions, Gigantamax Forms, regional forms, convergent forms, and the like being Gen I Pokémon, which has started to tick off the fanbase as such Pokémon at times overshadow newer ones. Saying you support Game Freak's pandering of older Pokémon will get the rest of the fandom pissed at you.
Overlapping with Sonic the Hedgehog, don't even mention Sonichu to the fanbase, or else expect both Pokémon and Sonic fans to unite in order to electrocute you and shred you with the Chaos Emeralds.

Godzilla:
Criticizing the original film. No matter what your opinion of all the other films are, you're asking for an ass-kicking courtesy of Godzilla himself if you insult the original on any form. The only possible criticism you could get away with is the voice-acting and editing changes in the English dub, and even that's pushing it.
Speaking positively about the 1998 film will lead to the same result as the above example. Even simply calling the titular character "Godzilla" will lead to this, as the fandom instead refers to him as "Zilla" and states that he is NOT Godzilla, a sentiment even shared by Toho themselves.
To a lesser extent, insult Mothra (especially regarding her tendency to be underutilized or Stuffed in the Fridge) and her fans will come after you, as even professional film critics have found out.

Moral Orel: While it's acceptable to like him based on the merits of how he's written, suggesting that Clay Puppington is in anyway sympathetic or redeemable is a horrible idea unless you want eternal damnation, especially given how he treats Orel. There's a reason many fans cite "Nature" as one of the most realistic portrayals of physical/emotional abuse at the hands of an alcoholic parent in all of media.

Touhou Project:
When it comes to the fandom, something you shouldn't do is criticize Sakuya Izayoi or say she's a bad character. Otherwise, expect lots of angry fans, especially those that are fans of the earlier Windows era games such as Touhou Koumakyou ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, to send dozens of knives your way.
Saying the games aren't that difficult, even relative of other shmups, will get you called insane — and not in a positive way — by most fans, who see people who are proficient with the games as inhuman rainfall-dodgers and for whom Touhou is their first exposure to shmups and therefore they may not be familiar with the "quarter muncher" reputation of arcade shmups (especially younger fans, who may not have had much exposure to arcade games, if at all).

Ghostbusters
The first film is considered one of the classics to many moviegoers, so criticizing it will cause the fandom to have the Stay Puft Man crush you under his foot. The sequel can be criticized, but you must still concede that it's better than the 2016 reboot.
Do not speak positively about the 2016 reboot to fans of the series, as they view it with absolute disdain. Otherwise expect the exact same outcome from above to happen on you.

Speaking positively about Mega Man X6 or saying it's one of your favorites in the series will likely get you yelled at by the fandom, mainly due to its severely rushed state (in America, where it came out first, Mega Man X6 was released the same year that Mega Man X5 was in that country) and unforgiving difficulty. That said, the one unambiguously positive thing you can say without having to worry about backlash is the soundtrack.

Five Nights at Freddy's:
Series wide: When it comes to discussing various theories about the series to the fandom, don't even think of bringing up the idea that the entire series is just the hallucinations and fever dreams of a brain-damaged child, unless you want to be stuffed inside an animatronic suit.
Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach: While you can get away with complaining or criticizing most of the game, never say you don't like Glamrock Freddy, as the fandom widely considers him a Sacred Cow due to his All-Loving Hero nature, Parental Substitute like relationship with Gregory and being the first time that the player actually gets to see an animatronic be as nice as the series has previously claimed them to be. Otherwise you'll be, yet again, stuffed inside an animatronic suit.

Oshi no Ko:
You better not speak ill about Ai Hoshino to the fandom, or better yet, say that you support her death. Otherwise, a crazed fan will appear on your doorstep.
While you can criticize what she was initially like at the start of the series, do not say that Miyako Saitou isn't a good mother or a good replacement for Ai, as the fandom considers her a loving mother second only to Ai herself.

The first Metroid Prime is another game that's considered risky to criticize, since it's often considered to be in the same league as Super Metroid due to how masterfully it navigated the Video Game 3D Leap.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:
Speedwagon is a beloved character in the fandom and is considered nigh untouchable when it comes to criticism. However, if you trash him and certain users know where you live, it's best to move out of the country to avoid the firestorm of poison rings, stolen steamrollers, free-moving bombs, baseball bats or Stand barrages that'll be heading.
If you really want to a fan of the series, here's a handy piece of information: do not skip parts. Because of the targeted harassment that many a part skipper has faced over the fandom's long history, it's really not a good idea for one to not read or watch a part of the original manga or anime adaption, because doing so will let you miss a huge chunk of the story overall. If you decide to do so... the Ultra Security House Unit awaits you.
Do not suggest that Bucciarati is not the best mom, or Gold Experience Requiem will make you die for all eternity.
If you unironically use the localized Stand and character names or acknowledge them in any way other than to make fun of how dumb they sound, the fandom will make you the victim of filthy acts at a reasonable price. It's a very sore spot for fans, since the name changes rob JoJo of one of its most famous aspects, and the supposed justification isn't always consistent.

Saturday Night Live:
Saying you liked or trying to even defend the Jean Doumanian run (1980-1981) would be a very big mistake, as it was the season that nearly killed the show and it has since been considered Canon Discontinuity.
Whilst liking Colin Quinn's time as the Weekend Update anchor would be fine, saying you liked him better than Norm Macdonald will make the fandom extremely angry at you, especially now after Macdonald's passing in 2021.

Criticizing the two sequels is understandable, but criticizing the original or calling it a "bad film" will either get you covered in cow manure, forcing you to get stuck in 1955, or worse, get hanged, drawn and quartered by everyone, their parents, and their grandparents as it is considered to be one of the most beloved movies by many movie fans.

Saying anything positive about Joffrey Baratheon, Ramsay Bolton or Walder Frey is strongly discouraged, unless you want to get caught in the crossfire of the Red Wedding.
Don't say that the writing in Season 8 was good and undeserving of the backlash it got, or else be ready to be torched by Drogon.
Similarly, do not say that the actors didn't give their A-performances in the said seasons, as many of them were lauded for their He Really Can Act performances. Do so and you'll torched again by Drogon, just as if the first one wasn't enough.

Puyo Puyo: Don't refer to Satan as "Dark Prince" (his name in English) unless you want to be attacked by his dark spells in a Puyo match. Even Western fans prefer to refer to him as just Satan and ignore his English name entirely, viewing it as an unnecessary case of Bowdlerisation that has managed to stick around despite all the series' other dub-isms having been removed over time.

Sonic the Hedgehog:
The Sega Genesis games note Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles are the closest that the franchise has to a Sacred Cow and are held in high regard by most of the fandom. Criticizing them is a good way to set them off. The same can also go for Sonic Mania and Sonic Adventure 2.
It's not a good idea to say that Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) was a good game or that you liked it, given the many problems with it, such as its rushed and unfinished nature, its incoherent story, its numerous amounts of glitches and bugs, or the character of Princess Elise, who is also notorious for kissing a dead Sonic. This also goes for Sonic Boom for the same reasons.
Conversely, saying anything negative about Sonic '06's soundtrack or the villain Mephiles the Dark can also be a bad idea.
Most Russian Sonic fans first discovered the Sonic series in the Adventure era with Sonic Adventure and the Sonic X anime, thus they consider the Darker and Edgier plots and atmosphere a Sacred Cow. Any mention of Sonic Lost World or the Sonic Boom franchise in a positive light will turn them against you.
People who got into the franchise through Sonic X are more likely to call Sonic "Sonikku" than those who got into it through other media. Calling Sonic that, even if you justify it in your fanworks as an Affectionate Nickname Amy gives Sonic, will cause the fanbase to do the dirty work of nailing you with a Super Peel-Out.
Whatever you do, do not tell any number of the fanbase that you agree with the "Sonic Mandates", as these rules that Sega has made in recent years that restrict various things that were created beforehand has caused untold amounts of damage on the entire franchise. Most notably, "Classic" and "Modern" Sonic are meant to be separate from one another, with characters or elements that have only appeared in one forbidden from appearing in the other. For example, "Classic" characters such as Mighty, Ray, and Nack/Fang cannot appear in anything "Modern", while "Modern" characters such as Shadow, Cream, and Blaze cannot appear in anything "Classic". These mandates effectively limit what can be done with the Sonic universe, and if you do decide to tell the public your positive opinion on the guidelines... to put it mildly, it's too bad the Chaos Emeralds haven't become a reality yet.
Though liking Sonic Superstars is fair game, do not admit to preferring it over Sonic Mania, or you'll risk ending up on the wrong side of the Emerald Powers.

Spider-Man:
Professing fondness for One More Day will have fans take you in to be on the receiving end of a brutal beating courtesy of Peter himself, as they despise that story for undoing Peter and Mary Jane's marriage via Ret-Gone, which was Joe Quesada's main goal with the story. To a lesser extent, the story reversed years of character development for Peter Parker and Aunt May (Peter being a teacher and an Avenger and May discovering Peter is Spider-Man). Needless to say, it's so horrifically bad that it's up to the point where there's actually a Revenge Fic fan-comic that shows Peter and Mary Jane themselves going all out to retcon Joe out of existence as revenge for doing this story.
Related to the above, it's best not to mention Joe Quesada at all when talking about the comic, due to his infamy.
In the same topic, you can debate of your favorite ship (either MJ, Felicia, Gwen or any other girl he dated before but definitely not Carlie Cooper) but the consensus in the fandom is still the same: Spider-Man should be married and have kids and if he should be separated from said wife, it should be via a divorce, and saying a married or a divorced Peter can't work or he should not age is 100% sure of making the fandom angry against you. Thanks to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the fandom saw the idea can work.
Any kind of appreciation for The Amazing Spider-Man (2022) is as dangerous as fighting Peter when he isn't making jokes, due to it starting off with a vaguely defined incident that rendered Spider-Man even more of a Hero with Bad Publicity than he usually is, followed by a blatant attempt to take Mary Jane off the table as a potential love interest, and then killing and resurrecting Kamala Khan at the drop of a hat.
Don't ever suggest that Miles Morales is not a "real" Spider-Man unless you want to be attacked by a venom blast. He may be a Legacy Character, but Miles Morales is just as much of a Spider-Man as Peter Parker is, which is only reinforced by the comics, as well as adaptations like Insomniac's Spider-Man games and the Spider-Man: Spider-Verse films.

Do not say anything negative about Saints Row 2 unless you want to be buried alive like Shogo. And while Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row IV are okay to like, don't even suggest that they are better than Saints Row 2. note The original Saints Row game goes mostly unacknowledged since not only is it considered mediocre at best, but due to it being an Xbox 360 exclusive title (unlike the sequels, which were multiplatform), many Saints Row fans have never actually played it.

While most if not all Death Battles have at least some contention regarding their victors from watchers, a literal death battle will ensure if you approve of who the victors were in Gaara vs Toph, Yang vs Tifa, Ben 10 vs Green Lantern, or, most infamously of all, the second Goku vs Superman fight, as those four are despised by fans for reasons such as flawed research, accusations of favoritism, or even the victor cheating.

Ninjago:
It's generally a bad idea to bring up Season 11 around Ninjago fans and an even worse idea to say it was your favorite season.
Similar to Season 11, fans tend not to be particularly pleased when Hands of Time is brought up, though they tend to be more forgiving about it than with Season 11.
Saying anything bad about the Oni Trilogy (Sons of Garmadon, Hunted, and March of the Oni) will get you Spinjitzu'd in the face. The best you can get away with is saying that March of the Oni was lackluster compared to the other two.
Before the Oni Trilogy, the one season you couldn't insult was Possession, at the time considered to be the show's best season and even nowadays considered to be very strong and among the top 5 best seasons.
Do not bring up the brief love triangle between Jay, Cole, and Nya. It is commonly considered the worst thing the show's ever done and, depending on the fan, may even be considered worse than Season 11.

Danny Phantom:
Just bringing up Word of God saying that all the ghosts in the series, sent to the Ghost Zone or otherwise, are actually monsters from another dimension can motivate the fans to make you a sitting duck for mockery and humility, as the general consensus is that it doesn't make sense and goes against the series as a whole. In fact, even the show's wiki rejects this explanation.
Saying that you liked the Grand Finale Phantom Planet (or even Season 3 in its entirety) will get you on the fandom's bad side due to the direction fans consider it to have gone down.

Despite having more colour, a shorter runtime and addressing the criticisms of its predecessors, Justice League (2017) is still considered vastly inferior to the Snyder Cut due to making Steppenwolf dull, the shaky digital effects used to hide Henry Cavill's moustache, the added humour being nothing more than tacked-on quips and the cutting of many characters and moments that helped with world-building.

Saying that you like Warhammer+ is enough to make you a complete pariah among the fandom, in particular earning the permanent ire of content creators and fan animators. In order to push for its success, Games Workshop not only "hired" a bunch of major fan animators (most infamously Astartes) only to lock their projects behind the paywall of its streaming service, but most unforgivably began to impose a Fan-Work Ban that forbade the creation of any unofficial fan works - animations in particular - at all regardless of if their creators were making profit off them or not, which led to several notable fan works such as If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device and Dong Gool Troll's 40k Lore Comic being Screwed by the Lawyers as a result. If you do say you like and use this service, you will be marked for an immediate Exterminatus.

SpongeBob SquarePants:
If you ever speak positively about the spin-offs Kamp Koral or The Patrick Star Show to those who mainly consider the original 3 seasons to be the pinnacle of the show, expect them to subsequently string you up in a major city's town square for all to see, mainly because they consider them a desecration of the late Stephen Hillenburg's wishes.
Saying anything negative about the episodes "Band Geeks", "Chocolate With Nuts", or "Idiot Box", considered by the fandom to be the holy trinity of SpongeBob episodes, will get you forcefully put into a box and sent to a marching band to be traded for chocolate.
Saying anything negative about late Season 9 to early Season 12 apart from episodes like "Ink Lemonade," "Whirly Brains," and "Cuddle E. Hugs" tends to be frowned upon by the fanbase. This era is often looked up by the fandom as a more true continuation of SpongeBob's story than the seasons that came before Hillenburg's return to the series and since his death.
Speaking positively of the infamous episode "One Coarse Meal" is a good way to land yourself on the fandom's hit list, especially since all of the cast and even one of the co-writers don't look fondly upon it.
For similar reasons to the above example, if you liked "A Pal for Gary", better keep that opinion to yourself.
Due to an infamous scene in the episode, do not speak positively about "House Fancy" (other than Squidward being unanimously victorious over Squilliam), unless you want the fandom to rip your toenail off.

Warhammer 40,000:
Like the aforementioned Mannfred, speaking positively about Erebus (the architect of the Horus Heresy who also continues to have Joker Immunity) will get you convicted of heresy in the eyes of the fandom, especially from Imperium fans.
Mentioning Matt Ward is like mentioning Ken Penders to Archie Sonic fans. The man is a Promoted Fanboy reviled by the rest of the fandom for many reasons, most infamously for his Creator's Pet treatment of both the Ultramarines and Grey Knights as Purity Sues and his Creator's Pest treatment of the Sisters of Battle. In particular, do not ever bring up the "Khornate Knights" incident - wherein the seemingly incorruptible Grey Knights slaughtered a bunch of Sisters to make amulets out of their blood and a story so lore breaking that it was immediately declared Canon Discontinuity - to any fans of franchise, let alone those of the Sisters, unless you want to be burned at the stake for heresy. He is also infamous for writing High-Tier Scrappy Game-Breaker codexes that ruined the meta. In short, unless you're talking about his portrayal of the Necrons (which has been accepted by the fandom to some extent), speaking his name at all let alone in a positive light is enough to have you marked for Exterminatus.

Hazbin Hotel:
Never say you like Valentino (outside of a Love to Hate appreciation), never say you find any aspect of him attractive, don't imply you think he is in anyway redeemable, and NEVER imply you ship him with Angel Dust in any way, shape, or form, unless you want to be impaled through the head with an angelic spear and then devoured by cannibals.
While most criticism of the show is taken in good stride, shitting on the songs is extremely ill-advised and a great way to have your screams forever preserved in a radio broadcast, as they're easily the most beloved and least contentious aspect of the show.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach: While you can get away with complaining or criticizing most of the game, never say you don't like Glamrock Freddy, as the fandom widely considers him a Sacred Cow due to his All-Loving Hero nature, Parental Substitute like relationship with Gregory and being the first time that the player actually gets to see an animatronic be as nice as the series has previously claimed them to be. Otherwise you'll be, yet again, stuffed inside an animatronic suit.

Batman Film Series:
Criticizing the first movie is a sure way for fans to leave you to be beaten by the Caped Crusader himself as it is one of the most defining movies of all time. Batman Returns can be criticized to an extent, and many are divided on whether or not it's better than its predecessor, but you must still concede that it's better than the next two films. This has died down over time due to both films getting Hype Backlash and fans being more willing to acknowledge their flaws, but even so, you should still at least respect them for their impact on comic book movies in general.
Do not say anything positive about Batman & Robin or be prepared for another beating from the Caped Crusader himself.
Do not say that Michael Keaton is a bad Batman and don't say that George Clooney is a good Batman. Opinions vary on Val Kilmer's portrayal of Batman, but general consensus is that he was worse than Keaton, but better than Clooney.

Splatoon has a rather fractured fanbase, but a few opinions will make the Big Runs look like a nice walk in the park compared to what the fans will to do you.
Saying you dislike any of the Idol Singer characters — especially Marie, Marina, or any member of Deep Cut — is a great way to get almost every fan of the series to launch Tenta Missiles at your head.
If you really want the ink to fly, say you ship Pearl and Marina with anyone except each other; the two are quite heavily Implied Love Interests, and there's enough Ship Tease for "Pearlina" (including Marina canonically having a crush on Pearl) that most fans of the characters consider it a One True Pairing anyway.
Go ahead and disagree with the notion that if someone Booyahs at you during a match, you are supposed to Booyah back. There are plenty of Plaza posts condemning players who do not, in a non-Scrub inversion of "Stop Having Fun" Guys.
Inklings and Octolings who dare to say that the Bloblobber isn't an annoying overpowered weapon will be thrown into the nearest body of water by their brethren.

Despite the good qualities, even if you want to be beaten to death by fans of the cinematic universe just like how Superman and Doomsday did with each other, speaking positively of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is, dare we say it, not welcome, as even fans of its early output question numerous bizarre decisions such as the casual killing off of Dick Grayson and Jimmy Olsen, the shoehorning in of other Justice League members, Batman frequently violating his Thou Shall Not Kill rule, the characterization of Lex Luthor as a capering loon, drawing attention to the fact that both heroes' mothers are named Martha, adapting The Death of Superman only two films in, overall being too grim for its own good, and causing massive shake-ups that eventually resulted in numerous Aborted Arcs and the entire franchise being Cut Short. If you do decide to commit to that... well, good luck having fun out there.

Team Fortress 2: While it's all right as a fan to talk shit about the game receiving no support from Valve, individual weapons, playstyles, Fandom VIPs, etc., saying you don't like the game itself is a great way to get crocketed by a Soldier with an Australium rocket launcher, as the game is one of if not THE biggest Sacred Cows in the entire FPS genre.note Also, while the "rivalry" between TF2 players and Overwatch and Fortnite is mostly overblown by sensationalists, saying either game is better than TF2 is a great way to ruffle some feathers, so tread lightly.

People who got into the franchise through Sonic X are more likely to call Sonic "Sonikku" than those who got into it through other media. Calling Sonic that, even if you justify it in your fanworks as an Affectionate Nickname Amy gives Sonic, will cause the fanbase to do the dirty work of nailing you with a Super Peel-Out.

You're not even allowed to use your skill level as an excuse, you are supposed to disacknowledge the existence of all other Partners for World Mode grind purposes except maybe Hikari's "Fatalis" version, who has an even higher Step cap, but which suffers from an even stricter lifebar and which disables World Mode for a period of real-life time after use.

The third trial from Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair has gained a whole lot of infamy from the fandom, due to reasons such as Mikan Tsumiki's motive being the much-maligned Despair Disease, the fact that it would have been impossible for her to pull off both murders in the way and timeframe she did, that Hiyoko Saionji's murder wasn't elaborated upon, the rushed nature of the trial itself, or most infamously, Mikan's execution. As such, it's not a good idea to mention anything positive about it, and if you do, just be sure prepared for what brutal execution you'll get from the thousands of fired-up individuals, especially those who like Mikan.

Darius: Saying that Darius games other than Darius Gaiden and G-Darius are good is fine. Putting any game above those two, on the other hand, will get you turned into sashimi. If the game in question is Darius Force / Super Novanote Disliked due to its checkpoint system and Darius II-style loss of all powerups after respawning or Darius Rnote Disliked for being a rehash of the first Darius on a system with considerably less screen space than even 8- and 16-bit consoles especially, expect the Belsar Army to obliterate you and everything within a ten-kilometer radius.

From a story perspective, never speak positively about The Loyal Three or especially Pecharunt, due to what they did to Ogerpon. Speaking positively about them from a gameplay or competitive perspective may be a different matter, however,

Ace Attorney:
Do not tell a fan that you didn't find Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice For All's final case exciting, as it's considered to be one of the best cases if not the best case in the series.
On the subject of Justice for All, splurging out anything positive about the game's widely hated third case will cause the fandom to prosecute you so hard even Phoenix Wright himself wouldn't be able to get you out of it. Unless you're speaking of the anime edition, to which the fandom will pull a 180 and vouch for your acquittal, allowing Phoenix Wright to pull an easy 'Not Guilty' verdict.
Saying that your favorite game in the series is any other than the first or third ones will get you completely torn apart with rage by the fanbase who are insistent that their opinion is the only valid one.

Do not say that Monika did nothing wrong, or else the fandom will delete you. You're still allowed to sympathize with Monika, like her, or say that her actions were understandable, but don't ever say she was in the right for what she did to Sayori, Natsuki, and Yuri.
Saying even the slightest thing positive about Natsuki's father, due to his all but explicitly stated treatment of Natsuki, or that he's not as bad as fans make him out to be, will lead to your death and deletion, especially since despite never actually appearing, he's very unlikable.

Halloween: Do not speak positively about Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, which was so negatively received that the next film ignores it and the two that came before it. Otherwise, you'll be killed by Michael Myers himself.

F-Zero:
Saying that the series doesn't need a hypothetical new game (other than F-Zero 99) is a bad idea that will get you run over at 1,000 km/h.
Saying that any game besides F-Zero GX is good is fine. Saying that they are better than GX will get you Falcon Punched out the nearest window. Make that "into the Fire Field lava" if the game in question is F-Zero: GP Legend or F-Zero Climax, due to being successive games that are pseudo-3D games and are seen as disappointing spinoffs, or F-Zero 99 due to many GX fans being upset that after such a long Sequel Gap, Nintendo made a Battle Royale Game remake of F-Zero (1990) rather than an entirely new F-Zero game.

Aladdin: While many would agree that the glut of animated characters quoting famous movies that only the parents would get is annoying and that the Genie may have started it, the Genie is always the exception to the rule. It helps that the Genie's pop-culture references are balanced out by plenty of character depth.

Pokémon Sun and Moon:
Do not say that you like Alolan Dugtrio or Alolan Persian's designs, as most fans consider them to be either lazy or awful.
You're free to praise any of the new additions and changes to Sun & Moon that Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon brought to the table...except the story, which is generally regarded by the fanbase to be far weaker than that of Sun & Moon, mostly owing to much of the depth of Lillie's dysfunctional family being removed and many of the new story elements (particularly the Ultra Recon Squad and where they're from) turning out to be superfluous and/or wasted. Saying that the story in US/UM is better than that of the previous games is thus highly unrecommended.

Pokémon: The Series:
Anime fans tend to despise the show's use of Comic-Book Time, so saying Ash staying 10 years old is a good creative decision will cause fans to break out the torches and pitchforks and hurl them at you. The creators of the anime themselves repeatedly get a ton of flak whenever they'd re-confirm his age.
Mentioning or supporting the "Comatose Ash Theory" (that Ash has been in a coma the entire series) will cause the fandom to cry Berserker Tears and launch a large Electro Ball at your house.
Saying that you liked Pokémon the Series: Black & White or that it's your favorite part of the anime is enough to make its fandom go ballistic, as it's derided for various problems such as reverting Ash back to a novice Trainer, Iris (and sometimes Cilan) being considered The Load, how Team Plasma was handled in the anime, and more. Even just bringing up the Meteonite Arc that had to be dropped due to the Tohoku Earthquake in 2011 will cause fans to want your head on a pike over how it ended up ruining the saga as a whole.
Fans do not want to be reminded of Pokémon: Genesect and the Legend Awakened due to the fact that it introduced a second Mewtwo in a situation where the original would have fit in perfectly. If you want to piss them off, claim that you liked the movie or its Mewtwo. note It turns out the reason for the second Mewtwo was due to Takeshi Shudō's estate owning the concept of the original Mewtwo, but this unfortunately isn't enough to change people's minds about the sixteenth movie.
On the opposite side of things, do not say that you didn't like Pokémon the Series: XY, considered to be one of the best sagas in the anime for various reasons. The only exception to this is the Kalos League arc (which in fact is risky to say you didn't hate).
When it comes to villains, do not speak negatively about Pokémon Hunter J's villainous aspects, as she's considered to be one of the most serious and terrifying villains in the anime. Failure to comply with this will get you turned to stone.
Say that you like Tobias and that it was fine for Ash to lose against him and not even a full team of Legendary Pokemon will save you from the fandom's wrath.
Bringing up the end results of the Kalos League will cause a ton of hate from the fandom to erupt at you, given the major controversy over the outcome. For bonus points, claim that you approved of Alain's victory over Ash. It's okay if you say you like Alain, as he does have his fans. It's also okay to bring up the other League losses, as they didn't get nearly as much backlash as Kalos did (except maybe Sinnoh).
Regarding the fallout of "Electric Soldier Porygon", do not tell fans that you're okay with Porygon being Exiled from Continuity, as fans are upset over not only Porygon getting banned from the anime but also its evolutions never being able to appear in the anime at all (especially since Porygon itself was not even the cause of the incident). You can say that the episode's banning is completely understandable, but not Porygon's banning.
Do not speak positively about the 2015 DVD of the Adventures of the Orange Islands season to the fandom, as they are upset at the way Viz Media butchered it. This is due to two Missing Episodes having the appearance of Jynx with her original coloring. One of them happens to be Lorelei/Prima's spotlight episode, meaning one of the Kanto Elite Four has been officially Exiled from Continuity note at least as far as the anime's concerned by TPCI solely due to Jynx, something fans are sure to be unhappy about.
While fans are divided over the merits of the Pokémon movies (whether they're just vehicles for various Mythical Pokémon or have stories that would be more than welcome in the series proper), never say that any of the movies after Genesect and the Legend Awakened are better than any that came before it. In addition, saying anything negative about the first Mewtwo, Lugia, Latias & Latios, Lucario, or Keldeo's roles in their respective movies will get you stuffed into the Defense Mechanium of Altomare.

Don't ever say you liked the lore of Warhammer: The End Times, an Audience-Alienating Ending wherein The Bad Guy Wins meant to Torch the Franchise and Run, unless you want the Ordertide to come crashing down your door. In particular, trying to defend Mannfred von Carstein for what he did at the end (being the Spanner in the Works who screwed over the Forces of Order's last ditch attempt to save the world and continuing to have Joker Immunity in the setting that followed) will result in an even longer beating.

If you ever speak positively about the spin-offs Kamp Koral or The Patrick Star Show to those who mainly consider the original 3 seasons to be the pinnacle of the show, expect them to subsequently string you up in a major city's town square for all to see, mainly because they consider them a desecration of the late Stephen Hillenburg's wishes.

Mega Man X:
Saying the first game is bad. The sequels all have their fans and detractors, but the first game is considered by many to be, if not the best in the series, one of the best.
Speaking positively about Mega Man X6 or saying it's one of your favorites in the series will likely get you yelled at by the fandom, mainly due to its severely rushed state (in America, where it came out first, Mega Man X6 was released the same year that Mega Man X5 was in that country) and unforgiving difficulty. That said, the one unambiguously positive thing you can say without having to worry about backlash is the soundtrack.
Bringing up Mega Man X7 in a positive way is sure to rile up the fandom due to the various problems with the game, mainly the gameplay. If you say you like it or that it's one of your favorite entries in the series, angry fans will want you to "BURN TO THE GROUND!"

On the subject of Justice for All, splurging out anything positive about the game's widely hated third case will cause the fandom to prosecute you so hard even Phoenix Wright himself wouldn't be able to get you out of it. Unless you're speaking of the anime edition, to which the fandom will pull a 180 and vouch for your acquittal, allowing Phoenix Wright to pull an easy 'Not Guilty' verdict.

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi:
Preferring the Live-Action or Donghua over the novel is fine for the most part, but don't say anything positive about the changes in the live-action (like the Yin Iron plot) or the censorship itself as it is a surefire way to piss off fans.
While many fans are cool if one is uncomfortable in the novel's explicit scenes, especially the Incense Burner extras, they will bring their wrath down if one accuses the novel of romanticizing sexual assault. People have written down so many large essays explaining how the book tackles the topic of consent and how both have a Conveniently Common Kink.
Related to the example above, there will also be similar reactions if one will argue about how Live-Action Wangxian are "soulmates" and so pure, healthy, and consensual compared to their novel counterparts. In fact, preaching that The Untamed is a perfect example of how to properly portray a gay couple will have fans harshly pointing out the irony of the draconian Chinese Censorship not allowing any kind of intimacy in the drama, changing the romance to be a bromance with heavy subtext at best. They'll also mock you for preferring a censored gay romance over a version where they're literally Happily Married.

If you value your life, never say anything positive about Heroes in Crisis. It was so hated that DC decided to do a massive damage control for this story and make it look like it never happened in the first place.

Hey Arnold!:
When it comes to the fandom, do not say that you ship Arnold/Lila. He's supposed to be with Helga, especially with Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie making them an Official Couple.
Disliking Helga, bashing her, or calling her ugly is one of the most excessive ways to rile up the fanbase.
Don't say anything positive about "Arnold Betrays Iggy", which is unanimously considered to be the worst episode of the series.
On the other side of the spectrum, don't say anything negative about "Helga on the Couch", considered to be one of the best episodes of the series.

Family Guy:
While saying that you like the post-cancellation seasons will have half the fandom defend your opinion, it is not a good idea to say that you enjoyed "Screams of Silence: The Story of Brenda Q". Even people who are willing to defend the later seasons hate that episode.
Similarly, if you liked "Seahorse Seashell Party", it's best to keep that opinion to yourself. Again, much like "Screams of Silence", not even fans of the later seasons like that episode.
Bringing up Brian's fake-out death is a good way to piss off the fandom, as everyone agreed that it was a terrible ratings stunt and that the four episodes involving it were written extremely poorly.

You're free to praise any of the new additions and changes to Sun & Moon that Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon brought to the table...except the story, which is generally regarded by the fanbase to be far weaker than that of Sun & Moon, mostly owing to much of the depth of Lillie's dysfunctional family being removed and many of the new story elements (particularly the Ultra Recon Squad and where they're from) turning out to be superfluous and/or wasted. Saying that the story in US/UM is better than that of the previous games is thus highly unrecommended.

Amphibia:
Mentioning AdmiralDT8 anywhere would cause, at minimum, people to react in total disgust and mockery, and at most, all Disney lovers around the world to slam into your house at breakneck speed, break off the cord of your monitor, and fire a massive beam at whatever's in there point blank, destroying them once and for all. There is a extremely good reason why discussion of him is outright banned in some parts of the fandom to the point where bringing him up in social media is highly discouraged. whyAdmiralDT8 is the online alias of Darrel Timmerman, an artist, animator and writer in the DisneyTVA community known for his artwork, animations and songs. He gained notoriety for his fanfiction Loyalty Among Worlds, a retelling of Amphibia starring his Original Character and self insert, Darrel Loyalität. The fandom's ire is a result of said original character being eventually paired up with the show's main protaganist, Anne Boonchuy. This seemingly harmless ship immediately takes a rather disturbing turn once you realise that Darrel Loyalität is meant to be a self insert of Darrel Timmerman himself whom is 28 years old, meaning that he is practically shipping himself with a teenager causing many to consider him to be a borderline pedophile. Whilst Darrel denied actually loving Anne, this did little, if anything, to quell the backlash.
Drawing Anne's hair with points instead of curves will bound to get people angry at you and your artwork. It got so far as to people criticising the show's creator for drawing Anne "incorrectly".

Be careful if you criticize either the first Baldur's Gate in comparison to Baldur's Gate II, particularly if your point of view is influenced by more modern games such as Dragon Age and Baldur's Gate III, or vice versa if you criticize the sequel in comparison to the first game, particularly if your point of view is influenced by classic Gold Box games and old pen & paper rpgs. The flamewar is lurking and in both sides there are certain opinions that are generally not well received, particularly because they are perceived by the majority as taking the games out of their contexts.

Sword Art Online:
Saying you like the Fairy Dance arc; perhaps the one thing the fandom and hatedom agree on is that it is the worst arc in the entire series, due to applying Chickification to Asuna, a gross Big Brother Attraction plot with Suguha, and extremely gratuitous fanservice moments, including one infamous moment mentioned below:
Mentioning the scene where Sugou Nobuyuki tries to rape Asuna in any way will incite the rage of the fanbase. But only if you do so while implying that fans enjoyed the scene, as even they despise that moment and sincerely wish it never happened.
Do not say anything good about Sugou Nobuyuki to the fanbase, mainly due to the spoiler-tagged event above. Just don't.
Also for that matter, do not in any way compare SAO to Berserk else face the wrath of both sides.

When it comes to ULTRAKILL weapons, the Alternate Marksman is by far the worst of any Scrappy Weapon in the game, due to its mechanics which trade crowd control splitshots of its original versions for single-target ricochet damage boost, seen by the fandom as much more inferior given how the niche could both be filled through the alternate variant of the Piercer, and how it's a loss of a crucial crowd control attack in the player's arsenal. To that end, you're better off not using the weapon at all, because you'd likely get scorned real bad for having the thought of that cross you. Even the wiki gets in on it:

Mega Man:
Mega Man (Classic):
Mega Man 2 is considered a Sacred Cow in the original series. Saying anything bad about it will have fans blasting you with the Mega Buster. And do not disagree that Quick Man's stage is That One Level, or the stage's instant-kill beams will be weaponized against you.
Mega Man 10: Do not bring up the Easy mode. Ever.
Mega Man X:
Saying the first game is bad. The sequels all have their fans and detractors, but the first game is considered by many to be, if not the best in the series, one of the best.
Speaking positively about Mega Man X6 or saying it's one of your favorites in the series will likely get you yelled at by the fandom, mainly due to its severely rushed state (in America, where it came out first, Mega Man X6 was released the same year that Mega Man X5 was in that country) and unforgiving difficulty. That said, the one unambiguously positive thing you can say without having to worry about backlash is the soundtrack.
Bringing up Mega Man X7 in a positive way is sure to rile up the fandom due to the various problems with the game, mainly the gameplay. If you say you like it or that it's one of your favorite entries in the series, angry fans will want you to "BURN TO THE GROUND!"
Mega Man Legends:
Do not say that you dislike the Bonnes, considered to be among the best characters in the series, or else expect a full-scale attack from Servbots and Bonne mechs that Mega Man will not rescue you from.
Do yourself a favor, and don't say you weren't upset with the infamous cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3, as fans consider it a great tragedy that effectively killed the Mega Man Legends series. If anything, doing so will result in the same as above.
Do not speak positively about Rockman X Over to the fandom, or else they'll blast/slash you with the Mega Buster/X-Buster/Z-Saber/etc. in response.

Metroid:
Best way to get a whoopin'? Criticizing Super Metroid. It's unanimously considered a landmark game and a masterpiece of level design and craftsmanship by fans and critics alike. Decades after its release, it is still considered the best game in the entire series and one of the greatest video games ever made, so if you go after it, you might need to equip the Varia Suit to resist the flames.
The first Metroid Prime is another game that's considered risky to criticize, since it's often considered to be in the same league as Super Metroid due to how masterfully it navigated the Video Game 3D Leap.
If you say that you liked the gameplay of Metroid: Other M, fan opinion is mixed enough that you'll get some amused scoffing at worst. Say that you liked the story on the other hand, or (Chozo forbid) that it is one of your favourite entries in the series, then expect a complete derailment of the conversation as seemingly everyone in the fanbase arrives to signal to Raven Beak that you disrupted the natural order, and it will hurt. A lot. At one point, hate for Other M was to the point that even suggesting that the game had the potential to be good garnered the same result.
While no longer the case, prior to the release of future games that proved it wasn't the harbinger for the franchise's death, saying anything kind about Metroid Prime: Federation Force was simply a verbose way of requesting your death at the claws of Ridley. Hate for the spin-off was so strong from the moment of its reveal that even the much-maligned Other M was seen in a better light for a while, due to it having Samus as the protagonist rather than some faceless Federation Space Marines.

While criticizing the movies for individual aspects (i.e. Gimli's Adaptational Comic Relief, Denethor's Adaptational Villainy, etc) is okay, don't dare to say that they are bad movies, bad adaptations, or worse, that they "aged poorly", because not even having the One Ring will allow you to escape from the fans' wrath.
You may say that The Hobbit movies or worse, The Rings of Power series are better than the LOTR movies at your own peril.

Citizen Kane: The quickest way a critic or film school teacher can kill their street cred is to trash this film. This is ironic since the film itself was an Acclaimed Flop in its day, and it only became Vindicated by History in the 50s and 70s, so if Kane has that reputation, it took a while to get there and did undergo "the test of time".

One sure-fire way to lose whatever role you have on the Enterprise, get ganged upped on by the fandom and forcibly ejected out of the starship is blurting out that you liked Star Trek: Nemesis or that it was not as bad as a lot of people made it out to be, as this movie is highly controversial among the Star Trek faithful due to numerous key reasons such as the blatant copying of Wrath of Khan's plot, its main antagonist, the assassination of what made any of the characters so compelling, it serving as a awful finale to The Next Generation era, and the downright offensive handing of the very idea of a Mind Rape. Not helping matters is that the director of the film never watched Star Trek before and didn't care about contradicting any of the characters.

Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune:
Don't mention Honda in relation to this game. This partly has to do with Honda not being known for rear-wheel drive vehicles, let alone 4WD, other than the S2000 and the NSX (which was finally added in Maximum Tune 5DX+) and the game is heavily focused around powersliding, something that wouldn't make sense in a FWD car.
Go ahead and say that your favorite course is the Wangan Line. Expect to be called a noob who can't handle the tougher routes.

Sailor Moon:
Something you should never do is say that any of the Senshi are straight or ship them with males, including the Shitennou (despite them having female forms), as giving the Senshi male love interests in any capacity is dangerous. The only straight pairing you can get away with liking or supporting is Usagi (Sailor Moon)/Mamoru (Tuxedo Mask).
Suggest that the first two seasons of Sailor Moon Crystal are any good. Even if you acknowledge their flaws, be ready for a slew of screaming about the animation and the characters being "ruined" and accused of supporting heteronormativity and misogyny, as well as a tirade on how Crystal was at the time the cancer killing the entire franchise.

Do not speak positively about Rockman X Over to the fandom, or else they'll blast/slash you with the Mega Buster/X-Buster/Z-Saber/etc. in response.

Lilo & Stitch: Don't ever speak ill of Lilo in any fashion unless you want to get blasted to smithereens by Stitch, as fans are incredibly protective of her. Criticizing Lilo's successors (Yuna and Ai) is fair game due to how divisive they both are, but criticizing Lilo herself is absolutely off-limits.

Transformers:
Criticizing G1 will have fans send an Autobot to destroy you, as G1 is considered a Sacred Cow. That being said, overly idolizing G1 and bashing everything else just for not being "GEEWUN" is considered to be just as big of a red flag.
For a comics-related example, saying you liked the IDW portrayal of Star Saber as a psychopathic religious zealot is a fandom sin so severe that even Primus would never forgive you for.
Saying that you like the third-party figures can sometimes leave the fandom unhappy. Third-party upgrade kits are fine, though.
Do not say anything even remotely critical about the following Transformers characters or you will be fed to Unicron: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz, Prowl, Wheeljack, Ironhide, Ratchetnote You can criticize the original toys for not having their heads, but criticizing their cartoon and comic book continuities are off-limits, Tracks, Inferno, Grimlock, Jetfire/Skyfire, Megatron/Galvatron, Soundwave, Laserbeak, Ravage, Shockwave, and Devastator.

Gravity Falls:
The fandom has an interesting one. Alex Hirsch had originally Jossed that they are before stating that the twins were raised non-religiously, but if you even dare to suggest the Pines collectively aren't Jewish, even if you phrase it in a way where they're still Jewish theoretically speaking, you'll be met with quite a bit of hate, whether or not you try to bring up what Alex said.
In an interesting case, while the character was initially disliked for understandable reasons, after the episode "Northwest Mansion Mystery", which revealed the cause of her behavior, and her ultimate decision to oppose it, it's now a bad idea to say anything negative about Pacifica Northwest. And don't say that you don't like the ship of her with Dipper Pines.note  while shipping Pacifica with Mabel is generally permissible to all but the most intense Dipcifica shippers, the Dipper x Pacifica ship is by far and away the most popular and saying you dislike or don't understand the ship, will earn you much ire

Speaking positively about how Trixie Tang was handled in the episode "Just the Two of Us" can get you in trouble by fans, due to how the episode ended up turning Trixie into a crazed Yandere.

Super Smash Bros.:
Super Smash Bros. Melee is held in high regard by the Smash community. Regardless of opinions of any of the other games in the series, never say anything negative about Melee.
Do not voice any approval for Brawl's random tripping, as both casual and competitive fans regard it as an unfun Scrappy Mechanic, and was additionally seen as a bad idea in hindsight by Masahiro Sakurai himself, enough to be dropped from future games.

Captain America: Never state that you thought the "Captain Hydra/Stevil" plot twist from Nick Spencer's Captain America and the ensuing Crisis Crossover Secret Empire was great. Otherwise, expect to be beaten by the entire Marvel fandom for professing your approval of one of the most ill-thought attempts to upend the status quo in comic book history, one that went against everything the character stood for. And when the fandom comes to beat you up, they can and will do it all day.

Star Trek: The Next Generation:
Never profess any fondness for Wesley Crusher to the fandom, especially as he's notable for being the former Trope Namer for Creator's Pet.
Criticizing "The Best of Both Worlds" two-parter, the other episode in contention for being the best episode in the entire franchise, will get you assimilated by the Borg.
