'''[[Reality Warper|Mr. Mxyzptlk]]''': [[Big No|NO!]] Repeat after me, bright boy. It's [[Literal Metaphor|MIX--YES--SPIT--Lick.]]|'''Mr. Mxyzptlk''', ''[[Superman: The Animated Series|Superman the Animated Series]]''}}

 

* Chances are, if you mention "Robotech", you're going to have to listen to why ''Robotech'' sucks, why Harmony Gold sucks, why it ruined ''Macross'', and a number of other things, that usually don't relate to the other two series ''Robotech'' used. Even if it is a Robotech video on Youtube...

** Nearly every single Macross video has at least one Robotech basher who just randomly starts the bashing without any provocation or anyone mentioning Robotech before the basher does.

* On at least one forum, posters can be targeted by cries of "[[Mahou Sensei Negima|NEGIMA]] BANNED!!" for calling Negi's mother {{spoiler|Akira}} or referring to his cousin Nekane as his biological sister. Generally, though, Negima fans seem fairly understanding, because [[The Law of Conservation of Detail|there's]] [[Chekhov's Armoury|a lot]] [[Kudzu Plot|to keep]] [[Loads and Loads of Characters|track of]]...

* ''[[Tales From Earthsea]]'' runs into this trope. Most purist fans insist on referring to the film by its Japanese name, ''Gedo Senki''. In fact, most [[Studio Ghibli]] films get this treatment from the purists. The most notable example of fans' refusal to use an English name is ''[[Princess Mononoke]]'' (referred to almost universally as ''Mononoke-hime''), with ''[[Spirited Away]]'' (''Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi'') third most likely to suffer from this).

** D&D has demons and devils. Many, many fans commonly mistake the two and nearly just as many are really [[Fan Dumb|anal]] about fans who can't get it right. And when you throw in the fact that the most common kind of both demons and devils have more specific names (Tanar'ri and Baatezu respectively), it all just gets very messy, very fast. Not to mention other kinds like obyrith and archdevils that more [[Serious Business|pure-blooded]] fans know about.

** Furthermore, if you don't want to start an edition war, do not use past and present tenses to describe changes between 3.5 and 4th edition, e.g., "there is no lawful evil alignment anymore". And please, for the love of Pelor, DO NOT claim that one edition is objectively better.

** For that matter, mention any of old backstory used in English speaking countries prior to ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'' and you'll likely be blasted by a group of "Only the Japanese stuff counts" purists. Which will then trigger a war with the "It's our childhood memories and we don't care if it's not really canon" fans.

** Mixing up the [[Sonic the Comic|British/Egmont/Fleetway]] comic with the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|American/Archie]] comic (which, while having a seperate canon from the Saturday morning cartoon, used all the same characters and settings, and is where you find Sally Acorn, Bunnie Rabbot, etc.) around fans of ''either'' comic is liable to get you eaten alive.

** [[Viewer Gender Confusion|Tails is not a girl]], and never has been. People will gladly tell you this repeatedly.

** Calling Amy "Amy the Hedgehog" will give you some flak, though you can get into a debate that her full-name is "Amy Rose the Hedgehog". Likewise calling Tekno from the Fleetway comics "Techno" is a bad idea.

* Spelling Jak's name with an added ''c'' or Daxter with an ''e'' is a [[Berserk Button]] for many [[Jak and Daxter]] fans. If you're lucky, they'll facepalm and point out your mistake. If not, they'll eat you alive.

* When someone looks at some piece of [[Touhou]] fanart and asks "What anime is this?" flames are to be expected.

* The main character of ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' is Pit. Trying to say his name is Icarus will get you laughed out of any Nintendo forum.
