Line 10:
To [[Canon]][[A Worldwide Punomenon|dorfs]], this can get annoying. It pushes fans' [[Berserk Button]] enough that people that continue to perpetuate it are treated with the same respect as a [[Troll]], although [[Hanlon's Razor|many times they merely made an honest mistake]]. As the following examples demonstrate, however, many other times the purists are not railing against mistakes, but against things which are not technically wrong, such as dub names, simply because they happened to dislike the alternate adaptation.
The trope name comes from ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' [http://www.gannon-banned.com/ forum]{{Dead link}} that lays out ground rules about obvious false rumors (like that a [http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00022/ cover song] [[Misattributed Song|was produced by a different band from the one that actually did it]], that Link's name is Zelda, etc.) and shuns people that continue to spread them. Also, as shown by the picture above, in one version of one game, the [[Big Bad]] Ganon's name was misspelled as Gannon; so referring to him as Gannon (instead of Ganon) is also something likely to get you banned. Of course, the list does have things like "Claiming Zelda II is anything other than the best Zelda game ever" and calling [[The Legend of Zelda CDI Games]] "epic", so there's a strong hint of [[Stealth Parody]] present.
See Also: [[Fandom Heresy]], [[I Am Not Shazam]], [[Internet Backdraft]], [[Media Research Failure]] and [[Refrain From Assuming]]. An in-media equivalent would be [[Insistent Terminology]]. For Cannons that are banned, see [[Fantasy Gun Control]]. If Canon is banned, it's [[Canon Discontinuity]].
