* ''Anime/CardcaptorSakura'': Even if you were a relatively innocent kid that wasn't aware of the original when it came out, it's best not to mention [[{{Macekre}} the dub]], let alone that you like it, to most fans, as many consider it to be one of the worst anime dubs ever made. This is mostly due to as while the Americanization and removal of [[NoHuggingNoKissing any romantic relationships]] (even the heterosexual ones) in a mostly ROMANCE series wasn't bad enough, in an effort to make to show gender-neutral (read: suitable for a male audience), Kids WB cut out any episodes not focused on Syaoran to make him a co-protagonist with Sakura (possibly even make ''him'' the main character over Sakura). Even simply referring to the series as ''Cardcaptors'' is enough to set fans off.

*** The only thing you are allowed to critcize regarding the Retro Engine remasters of the 16-bit games is the inclusion of Denuvo DRM in the Steam releases and high price tag of the ''Sonic Origins'' CompilationRerelease; do ''not'' criticize these particular ports on their merits. Even worse, if you say that the ''SEGA AGES'' ports on Platform/NintendoSwitch are better, you will be thrown onto a bed of spikes with the ''Sonic 1'' spike bug enabled.

* If a game gets an exA-Arcadia UpdatedRerelease (exA being a hardware platform for MediaNotes/{{arcade game}}s), and [[AmericansHateTingle you don't live in Japan]], DO NOT express any hype for it. If you ''buy'' the game, rather than just visit an arcade that has it and put coins in it, expect fans of the game to take your exA machine and hit you with it, accusing you of supporting a business model that's [[NoPortForYou inaccessible to all but the most affluent of fans of that game]].

** If you say anything good about ''VideoGame/StreetFighterI'' (as in, the first game in the series that was released in 1987) other than that it allowed for ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' to happen, fans will execute the game's broken iteration of Shoryuken on you and tell you that [[GameOver you've got a lot to learn before you defeat them. Try again, kiddo!]]

** You know how in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterI'' (as in the original 1987 game), the Shoryuken can instantly kill an opponent? That will happen to you if you say anything positive about this game around series fans.

** Go ahead and say that your favorite course is the Wangan Line. Expect to be called a noob who can't handle the tougher routes.

* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'': Never tell any of the fans that you liked ''Force'', or worse, that you think the Huckebein are good villains, or you'll be hurt as much as they hurt others.

*** Go ahead and say that you didn't mind the NPC trade with Mindy [[note]]Who is notorious for wanting a Medicham for her Haunter, which due to it being a trade would mean the Haunter in question would evolve into Gengar, only for the Haunter to be holding an Everstone to prevent this[[/note]]. Fans despise this in-game trade mainly due to its [[{{Troll}} trollish]] nature.

*** Due to how they turned out, don't say that ''VideoGame/PokemonBrilliantDiamondAndShiningPearl'' are good remakes. In fact, don't even refer to them as remakes, as they come off as more {{Updated Rerelease}}s than anything.

* For the anime community in its entirety, mentioning Creator/FourKidsEntertainment will get you targeted by the community as a whole due to things they're done in their dubs such as [[{{Bowdlerize}} bowdlerization]], {{Dub Induced Plotline Change}}s, and more. With the exception of some voice actors associated with them (such as Creator/DanGreen, Creator/TedLewis or the original ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' cast), it's best not to say anything positive about [=4Kids=] [[NostalgiaFilter no matter how nostalgic their dubs are to you]].

** Don't say anything positive about [[CreatorsPet Jar Jar Binks]]. In the words of Jar Jar Binks, if you do...yousa gonna die.[[note]]This only applies to the character -- Jar Jar's actor, Ahmed Best, is pretty much off-limits unless you want to look like a dick.[[/note]]

** Do not say anything even remotely critical about the following ''Star Wars'' characters or you will be fed to a Sarlacc: Darth Vader [[note]]This does not apply to his pre-suit identity of Anakin Skywalker, but even then, criticism of Anakin must now be handled very carefully due to his character (and actor Creator/HaydenChristensen) being VindicatedByHistory.[[/note]] (and don't even suggest that he didn't deserve his redemption), Luke Skywalker[[note]]At least in regards to his Original Trilogy portrayal. His portrayal in the Sequel Trilogy is quite controversial.[[/note]], Princesss Leia Organa, Han Solo[[note]]Aside from perhaps his ''Film/{{Solo}}'' anthology film, though that criticism is aimed more at the film itself rather than Han as a character[[/note]], Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, R2-D2, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Boba Fett[[note]]You can say that you don't like how he was portrayed in ''Return of the Jedi'' or ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'', but saying you don't like him or that he's anything less than a top-tier badass will get you roasted by Boba's flamethrower.[[/note]] (this also applies to his "father" Jango to a lesser extent), Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious[[note]]Only applicable to his appearances in the Prequel and Original Trilogies, as his return in the Sequel Trilogy is very much controversial[[/note]], Darth Maul and Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus.
