Round 1 Poll 25: Teenager

Chainsaw Man submission:

Aki is NOT 19??? He’s shown legally drinking and smoking in Japan, he’s at least 20… we only know Himeno met him when he was under 20. he’s three years Denji’s senior not in age but in the amount of years he’s been a devil hunter.

Pokemon submission:

that jessie and james are teens

jesse and james being 15

Every single shipping post about them, someone needs to point out that Jessie and James are 15 and siblings. They're both canonically 25 and not related please I'm crying. They each have origin episodes and established family members. They're adults with jobs. Why has no one actually watched Pokémon

That Jessie and James are teenagers

Jessie and James of Team Rocket being teenagers (they're actually 25)

thought you might like this you can spread the word of the real canon von karma

Submitted Manny V let's hope it goes well

[stop-spreading-this-poll]

Have you ever seen something be spread around as the truth in your fandom that was never true to begin with?

'Canon' facts about the characters, misquoted interviews with creators or misinterpretation of a character?

Made up hoaxes still believed to have happened by parts of the community or the use of old fan theories that have long since been disproven by new canon entries?

Or in cases like Danganronpa, calling the first and second game V1 and V2 even though that's just wrong?

Then this is the poll for you!

Round 1 Poll 5: Evil!!!

2001 A Space Odyssey submissions:

The claim that Hal 9000 is evil (he's not. Not at all)

HAL 9000 is not evil, he gets often misinterpreted as such by popular media. He had conflicting orders to hide the true mission from the crew and tell the crew everything. Being programmed to be truthful, he had a psychotic break and killed out of desperation. Because he didn't need to keep lying if everybody was dead. When the orders were removed in the sequel he was fine! He liked humans and sacrificed himself to save the crew

Hal 9000 is not evil! He's just a little guy

Portal submission:

Wheatley is NOT evil!!! He was corrupted by the mainframe!!! GLaDOS literally says it!!! Stop hating on my blorbo!! He even apologizes!!!

Round 1 Poll 84: Stop saying this

Ghost Stories:

ghost stories was not a flop in Japan! it did great actually! You have been lied to by ADV and the hack who wrote the infamous dub for years and are sleeping on a quality kid's horror anime in favor of a racist and offensive badly written dub! Thanks!

Madoka Magica:

please, for the love of Madoka, STOP calling it a fucking deconstruction of the magical girl genre!!!

Round 1 Poll 50: I decide their gender :)

Bungo Stray Dogs submission:

One of the characters, Yumeno Kyuusaku (aka Q), is canonically nonbinary and the series only uses gender-neutral language for them in the original Japanese version. But a lot of the content is translated by fans that decided they're a boy and use he/him for them because they feel that using they/them would be "too confusing" even though all of the official content (which of course no one pays attention to) has no problem with it. There was even an entire chapter in the spin-off about some of the other characters trying to figure out if they're a boy or a girl before ultimately deciding it doesn't matter as long as they're happy but all the translations I've seen of it STILL only used he/him throughout the entire thing. Even when people try to point out they exclusively use gender-neutral language in the Japanese version and official translations no one seems to care. So even though we have canon nonbinary rep it's almost entirely been erased by the fandom and I can't go into their character tag without seeing them get misgendered.

Undertale/Deltarune submission:

THE MAIN CHARACTER USING THEY/THEM DOESNT MEAN YOU GET TO APPLY YOUR PRONOUNS TO THEM

[stop-spreading-this-poll]

Round 1 Poll 11: Siblings

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Gates to Infinity submissions:

"""Umbreon and Espeon (Gates to Infinity) are siblings."" Canon material only ever refers to them as 'partners', and later implies they have romantic involvement."

The Fandom spread that Umbreon and Espeon are Siblings. In game they are Partners.

The Owl House submission:

"hunter and luz being siblings :p going to be real it's actually incredibly annoying how people keep slapping the ""sibling"" label on unrelated characters around the same age and then acting like shipping them is therefore morally wrong somehow (also the general practice pigeonholing of found family into typical family dynamics like mom dad son daughter aunt uncle cousin etc is so tiring and kinda misses the point of found family to begin with imo). luz's mom did not even adopt him like do you guys not consider your friends to be a type of family???"

[stop-spreading-this-poll]

Round 1 Poll 1: Ages

Ninjago submission:

mostly anything involving their ages (unconfirmed minus lloyd being the youngest and nya being younger than kai + whatever the hell "adult teenager" is supposed to mean) but it gets especially messy when it comes to shipping. honorable mention to "plundar is 40+" which is an idea literally spawned out of thin air with no basis anywhere

Spider-Man Across the Spiderverse submissions:

the "canon" ages of characters such as Hobie or Pavitr (all because of shipping discourse too *cries*)

that hobie is 19-20.

[stop-spreading-this-poll]

Round 1 Poll 68: Canonically gay

Pirates of the Caribbean submission:

Jack and barbossa are canonically gay-divorced. This rumor literally made irl news and it started on tumblr

Mob Psycho 100 submission:

That there are canonical queer and queer-coded characters. For example, people have argued that Reigen and Serizawa are gay-coded, and there was a huge thing a while back because the mp100 wiki wouldn't let someone edit it to say Minegishi is nonbinary (this was a popular headcanon, not canon, but the people correcting it were still attacked and called transphobic for... fixing misinformation). It's died down over time, but idk if that's bc it's actually stopped or if I'm just better at curating my dash.

Round 1 Poll 20: Canon Ship

Supernatural Submission:

Destiel is not canon, you can headcanon it, but it is not canon. It has been said multiple times, it has always been said that it is not going on nor will it. It never went canon. One person confessing something does not a relationship make, or else it was would be a very very non-con relationship. Stop saying it is. There is no reason to lie about it, it is great enough as a headcanon, as a ship. Just. stop. lying. I SHIP Destiel. IT IS NOT CANON.

Vanitas no Carte submission:

Vanoé is canon

[stop-spreading-this-poll]

Round 1 Poll 60: Abusive/Horrible Person

Epithet Erased submission:

That Bugsy Pugsler is a horrible person to Arnold. (If you need extra ranting, It's literally just because he ran away when literally there was no way that the Banzai Blasters would win the fight,plus he had the amulet. Oh yeah and then Arnold sold him out for soup in a bag and a non working arcade. LIKE ARNOLDS 30 GUYS STOP BABYING HIM)

Resident Evil 8 submission:

Mia Winters is not an abusive mother or wife, Mother Miranda pretended to be her for a very short period of time and Ethan’s reaction is to set up the plot twist

[stop-spreading-this-poll]

Round 1 Poll 47: Making Things Up?

Persona 5 submission:

People who froth at the mouth at Akechi's existence will literally just make shit up about him to be mad about. They hear ""Akechi started committing murder 2 years ago"" and process it as ""Akechi started committing murder when he was 2,"" or pull 7-digit figures out of their ass that would make him singlehandedly responsible for Japan's population issues. Yes I have seen variations on both of these. It's honestly hilarious.

Project Sekai submission:

That Rui Kamishiro is a cannibal who's wanted in 60 countries for manslaughter... Or whatever. IN CANON HES A HIGH SCHOOLER WHOS HATES EATING VEGETABLES. HES JUST A SILLY MAN. HES A WEIRD TEENAGER WHO LIKES ROBOTS. NOT A FULL BLOWN CRIMINAL.

[stop-spreading-this-poll]

Round 1 Poll 34: Dumb

Touhou submission:

Cirno is dumb (especially at maths)

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared submission:

one of the characters, Yellow Guy, is often misinterpreted as stupid and dumb. a big part of the fandom also think that when he changed his batteries, he became a completely different, smart person, which isn't true. the fact that he changed his batteries DOESN'T mean he's absolutely different, what it actually is, is that its just him, with new batteries that help him process things better, since like he mentioned he felt his mind ""foggy"" with the older batteries.

Round 1 Poll 30: So Much Over A Mistranslation

One Piece submission:

A while ago a translation of a translation with bad English translated Law's line calling Corazon a ""大好きだった人"" (literally just ""someone [he] loved"") as him being his ""most treasured person"" and people just fucking RAN with it and I still saw it in edits years later. I've always hated it and I always will. People were using it in meta analysis and theory discussion about how he loved Corazon more than his family like,,, he literally did not fucking say that.

Ace Attorney submissions:

Manfred von Karma is not a child abuser!!!!!

Manfred von Karma is a canonical child abuser. That's just fanon and the only ""evidence"" is a mistranslation.

Manfred von Karma is often painted as abusive on fanworks, and while there's technically nothing wrong with that, the people who subscribe to this headcanon often refuse to entertain the idea that what theyre saying is just that. A HEADCANON. Theyre also sometimes downright hostile to anyone who likes Manfred in general. Usually, what they quote as ""proof"" is a line translated incorrectly and likely in bad faith in a side game, or just straight up fanfic. My friend group encounters this so much that we have a name for this phenomenon.

Manfred Von Karma is an abusive father

the fandom says that manfred von karma is canonically an abusive father. he literally isn't.

Manfred von Karma was not a child abuser

Manfred von Karma is a child abuser

manfred von karma beat his kids

these motherfuckers make up SO MUCH DUMB SHIT all the time but the one that kills me most is that they have a widely based fanon that manfred von karma is abusive when it's completely up to interpretation in the games. he's just a mean bitch and a murderer so they decided he beats/grooms/emotionally neglects his kids too and its so boring i took this to another blog and so did a lot of others in the fandom, the ""misinterpreted blorbo""/""he would not fucking say that"" bracket. immediately the mod was FLOODED with these people claiming that i was straightup lying, WITH MORE LIES. the most insane thing i saw was someone said that manfred allegedly burned letters that miles sent to phoenix when they were separated. not only did phoenix never send letters in canon (popular headcanon) but manfred most certainly was never said to have intercepted them! they were literally quoting wrightworth fanfiction they had read or some shit. its so fucking weird. people who see him as just kind of a silly murder dad with a really fucked up place in the story literally get called abuse apologists. and then when we're like 'BRO WHERE IS THE ABUSE' the other side is just like. 'play the game lol!!!!' meanwhile i, autistic, have played it 546445 times and half the people arguing with me watched one LP in like 2013 and have subsisted entirely off of twitter fanon and ao3 every since. please let me exit this hell

Manfred von karma abuses his kids

manfred von karma was abusive reasons it is false: he most definately was not the one line of ""proof"" (from a dubiously canon source) was a mistranslation from japanease to english von karma did not call miles worthless he called him inexperienced yes von karma is a horrible man but he was not a bad father

Round 1 Poll 27: Women am I right?

Red Dead Redemption 2 submission:

Molly O'Shea ratted on the gang. The game itself literally disproves this it’s just misogyny

Ninjago submission:

Any of the horrible things they say about Misako tbqh + the idea that Kai gave up his childhood to raise Nya, in spite of the quote "[After I lost my dad] I was lucky to have my sister watch over me" directly contradicting that idea (because Nya only exists to prop up male pain to them). Ninjago fans do not like/care about women very much
