== [[Anime and Manga]] ==
* The creator of ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' has done some flip-flopping over what the correct translation of the title is (namely, whether the first word should be "Ah" or "Oh").
* [[Rumiko Takahashi]] (in)famously replied to the "[[Ranma One Half½|Pregnant Ranma]]" problem by saying, "I don't think about that, and neither should you." But then she went and wrote the Musk Dynasty storyline, where animals cursed in the same spring as Ranma were taken as wives and bore children. This answered the first half of the question ("What if Ranma got pregnant...?") and, indirectly, answers [[First Law of Gender Bending|what would be needed]] to avoid the second half ("...and then changed back to a guy?")
* Kazuki Takahashi can't seem to make up his mind when he says he's gonna stop making [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]] spinoffs. First he said GX was the last one, then came 5Ds. Then he said 5Ds would be the last, and then the announce and release of a new one called Ze-X-al. Although the real reason comes from [[Executive Meddling]] done by 4Kids.
* Masashi Kishimoto from ''[[Naruto]]'' fame, first [[All There in the Manual|implied in the databooks]] that Hidan would eventually lose his immortality and die while being buried alive, The other Akatsuki members even explicitly referred to him as being killed in action, however he later backed down on this, and {{spoiler|even a resurrected Kakuzu reasoned that since Hidan is not among the ones resurrected by Kabuto, he must still be alive.}}
Line 53:
** An interview claimed that Season 3 wouldn't feature Desmond running naked through the jungle, but then there's Desmond running naked through the jungle.
** Damon Lindeloff claimed in a 2005 interview that the show had no supernatural elements, and everything had a scientific explanation. Even if you take that as only referring to things that had already happened, the statement still covers {{spoiler|the Smoke Monster, who turned out to be a former human who became what he is through magic.}}
* ''[[ICarlyiCarly]]'': The week before the "iSaved Your Life" episode aired, a promo aired showing 2 of the main characters kissing. [[Dan Schneider]], in an effort to calm the shippers of a pairing involve a different character, implied it might not be what it appeared. Cue the episode, where they ended up kissing 7 or 8 times, and it was pretty much as it appeared.
* About ''[[The X-Files]]'', Chris Carter made repeated statements that there was no hint of a Mulder/Scully romance.
* RDM's flat denial of any possibility of an Adama/Roslin in ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' romance. Turned out about the same way.
Line 96:
** James Arnold Taylor, Tidus's voice actor, has always pronounced his name as "Tee-dus" in interviews and on his website. Not quite [[Word of God]] but if his own voice actor doesn't know...
*** Also, pre [[Kingdom Hearts II|Kingdom Hearts 2]] Nomura said that Namine has no connection to Kairi whatsoever {{spoiler|just because she screwed around with Sora's memories and replaced Kairi with herself}}. Come endgame of 2, she turns out to be {{spoiler|Kairi's nobody, albeit a special kind of nobody born from Kairi's heart leaving Sora's body}}. [[Lying Creator|Damn you Nomura!]]
*** Before [[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep|Birth By Sleep]] Nomura stated that Nobodies don't age and Xemnas was about thirty when he was turned into one. {{spoiler|BBS shows at least two Nobodies looking considerably younger less then a year prior to their losing hearts and Xemnas by all appearances being a teenager.}}
* ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]'' had this. Is {{spoiler|[[Girl of the Week|Angela Cross]] (from ''[[Ratchet and Clank Going Commando|Going Commando]]'') a Lombax?}} 1. A fan letter gets an answer from one of the employees - {{spoiler|she is.}} 2. When ''[[Ratchet and Clank Future Tools of Destruction|Tools of Destruction]]'' comes to [[PlayStation 3]] with its focus on finding Ratchet's origins ({{spoiler|where did all the Lombaxes go}}), Insomniac Games officially stated that {{spoiler|she is not.}} 3. When fans realized it doesn't make sense ({{spoiler|with Angela looking VERY much like Ratchet, with the same physiology, save for a tail}}), they demanded a logical answer. So, in ''[[Ratchet and Clank Future A Crack In Time|A Crack in Time]]'', IG tells us that {{spoiler|she actually is a Lombax.}} Wha... ?
* [[SNK]] seems to change its position as to where ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' fits into the universe of its other games by the day. Either it's an [[Alternate Continuity]] to ''[[Art of Fighting]]''/''[[Fatal Fury]]'', or it's a follow-up to that universe. More recently, Shion ([[The Dragon]] from ''The King of Fighters XI'') is either male or has no official gender, depending on when you ask.
Line 111:
* Nintendo's released contradictory statements (most [[Egregious|egregiously]], the fluff is at odds between ''[[Super Smash Bros]] Melee'' and ''Brawl'') on whether [[Sweet Polly Oliver|Sheik]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'' is, ahem, [[Gender Bender|"complete"]].
** Same with Birdo (most common consensus is that she's pre-op though lately they've began implying she's post-op).
* The hair color of [[Big Bad|Golbez]] in ''[[Final Fantasy IV]].'' He [[Tin Tyrant|never takes off his fancy, face-and-head-obscuring helmet]] for the entirety of the game, but given that he's a blood relative of {{spoiler|Cecil and Fusoya, white-haired Lunarians both}}, most fans assumed [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|white hair]] for him as well. Then comes the DS remake, which, mostly in flashbacks, confirms that he has brown hair {{spoiler|like his father}}. Then, just as fandom is getting used to that, they release ''[[Final Fantasy IV: theThe After Years]]'', and he's got white hair. One wonders what the inevitable sequel to ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' will do with him...
** Obviously, he dyes his hair!
* Due to Ellis being an [[Unreliable Narrator]], the existence of Keith in [[Left 4 Dead 2]] has been of much debate. Valve tried to invoke this trope by saying that "Keith isn’t imaginary, except, well, it is a video game, so it’s all imaginary."
