Line 118:
* ''[[Thundercats]]'' 2019, aka "CalArt version". The fans' opinion is, to paraphrase a Roman saying, "You have appealed to Tumblr; to Tumblr you will go!" Objections to that, curiously, use several variations of "[[Gamergate|gamers don't have to be your audience]]".

* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' - [[Fanon Discontinuity]] examples:
** Perhaps the only episode more reviled for its blatant abuse of canon than "The Principal and the Pauper" is "That 90s Show" which depicts the lives of The Simpsons throughout the 90s, completely ignoring that the events of episodes which aired during the show's earlier seasons took place in the 90s, and completely rewriting canon as a result. This may have been upgraded to [[Canon Discontinuity]] in later seasons, since they continue to depict Homer and Marge as having gotten together in the 70s.
** Another in-universe example: Comic Book Guy refuses to admit that Superman moved to Gotham City, even though someone wrote a comic about it; he says instead it was dreamed up by the author and never really happened.
** "The Boys Of Bummer" for containing one of the nastiest cases of [[Disproportionate Retribution]] in all of fiction. Many fans have called one of the worst (of not, '''the''' worst) ever made.
*** A similar mention goes to "Million Dollar Abie".
** "Saddlesore Galactica" and " Kill the Alligator and Run" get this treatment too. The former for its downright ''bizzare'' plot, the latter for being ''completely'' made out of "Florida sucks!" jokes.
** And "The Computer Wore Menace Shoes" and "Bart-Mangled Banner" for the same reasons as "Saddlesore". The latter especially for being [[Anvilicious]] as all hell.
** Some fans treat "Lisa The Vegetarian" as this, not for being bad (it's considered genuinely funny), but the fact that they feel this episode started Lisa's eventual [[Flanderization]] into a [[Soapbox Sadie]] [[Canon Sue]].
** Fans usually ignore the presence of Sideshow Bob's Italian wife and son. Possibly [[Canon Discontinuity]] as they're never seen or mentioned again after "Funeral for a Fiend".
** Maude either died a more honourable death (or never died in the first place) according to a few fans.
** And let me make on thing perfectly clear. Barney '''never''' went sober.
** The now [[Official Couple]] of Ned and Edna is getting this.
** "Homer The Heretic" for pretty much being a bizzaro version of "Not All Dogs Go To Heaven"
