Gannon Banned: Difference between revisions

:"Chrno" can cause some confusion, too, if you misread the ch as the one from "child" and not the one from "chaos". [[Conveniently Precise Translation|Coincidentally]], "czrno" is the Slavic word for "black"... which is also what "Kurono" means in Japanese.

* "Hardcore" fans of the ''[[Kirby]]'' [[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|anime]] will be rather annoyed if you refer to the Holy Nightmare Corporation as [[Fun with Acronyms|N.M.E. or eNeMiE]] or any other way you want to spell it. Calling NIGHTMARE himself that is right out, and justified, as people really should know the name of the FINALfinal BOSSboss OFof ''KIRBY[[Kirby's Adventure]]''S ADVENTURE/KIRBY: NIGHTMARENightmare INin DREAMLAND''Dream Land is not NME. You can probably get away with using the 4KiDS4Kids character names though.

* Do not, I repeat, DO NOT admit to using Internet Explorer to anyone in any IT department,. youYou will get flamed. You're honestly better off not even mentioning it except in pure jest, and even then only if the jest is at Internet Explorer's expense.

* It's the [[Xbox]]. It's just one word, normally capitalized. Not XBox, XBOX, X-box, X-Box, or xBox. The name comes from [[Direct X]];. When Microsoft was creating it, it was codenamed the [[Direct X]] Box, or [[Direct Xbox]], and when they were trying to come up with a cool name for it, someone realized "Why don't we just use it as it is?".

** The page name/image refers to the [[Big Bad]] Ganondorf, aka Ganon (explicitly said so in the third game's manual), who is [[Common Knowledge|commonly believed]] to have gotten an additional "N" in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' but no other official sources. The reality is more complicated. "Gannon" was used in every Japanese game up until ''Triforce of the Gods'' (that is, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'') at the very least, and was the official romanization up until that point. This can be seen in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II the Adventure of Link]]'s'' intro text and game over screen, and [[Tot G]]TotG's end credits, where it refers to "Gannon's Tower". Whether due to a simple error or a deliberate choice, the American manual of the original game favored the spelling Ganon, and beginning with Zelda II, the American localizers explicitly went out of their way to change the spelling in-game, giving the appearance that the original three-N form was a simple misspelling, rather than an artifact of the Japanese version.

** [[Vindicated by History|In recent years]]{{when}}, It has's become a serious crime]] to refer to the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Wind Waker]]'' as kiddy in certain fan groups. {{spoiler|Link stabbing Ganondorf through the head and the prime evidence of the split timeline may be a big contribution to this}}

** 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[[Flame War]] with the "It's our childhood memories and we don't care if it's not really canon" type of fans.

* Gamers have a tendency to ''flip out'' at people (especially journalists) who get the name of the thiertheir favorite console wrong, like when people refer to the [[Nintendo DS]] as the "[[Game Boy]] DS."

* Go to the ''[[Escape Velocity|EV:Nova]]'' webboard and ask about the "Vellos", "Velos","Vell-Os", or (god forbid) the "Vell'Os", and somebody is sure to point out that they are called the "Vell-os".

* In ''[[Metroid]]'' fandom, calling Samus [[I Am Not Shazam|"Metroid"]] or even, god forbid, saying "I love Metroid, '''[[Samus Is a Girl|he's]]''' so cool in these games" is considered a horrible crime.

** [[Samus Is a Girl|Likewise]], and thinking she's a he is also considered very, ''very'' bad.]]

** Go onto a forum and say [[Kirby|''Meta-Knight'']] or "MetaKnight" is your favorite character. You will not hear the end of it. They'll say, "His name is Meta Knight, damn it! Meta-Knight is the group of swordsmen and MetaKnight doesn't exist! RAHHHHH, IT MATTERS! YOU'RE NOT A REAL FAN!"

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

* [[Halo|The origin]] of the [[Pretty Cool Guy]] meme was rooted in a Gannon Banning.

* Do not talk about ''[[Mallard Fillmore]]'' at ''[[The Comics Curmudgeon]]''. As in, youYou'll be banned for it because it only ever causes arguments.

* ''Never'' refer to ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' as "The Powderpuff Girls", or someone is going to get mad. In fact, that happened to the Girls themselves, [[Implied Trope|intentionally]], in a [[Cartoon Network]] promotional cartoon where they break into The Legion of Doom's headquarters (as in, the villains from the old ''[[Super Friends]]'' cartoon) to rescue [[Aquaman]] and [[Wonder Woman]]. Lex Luthor makes the mistake of calling them "the Powderpuff Girls";. needlessNeedless to say, the three heroines arethey're not amused.

* There was a small incident in the ''[[Transformers Prime]]'' fandom, right after episoeepisode 21 aired, when someone who shall remain nameless for their own safety perpetuated a rumor via Wikipedia that episode 22 would be named something along the lines of "one bot, two bots, red bots, blue bots" or some such thing like that, and somehow several people fell for it. It was even uploaded onto YoutubeYouTube with that name, but ended up being [[Jossed|completely wrong.]]
