* An odd example is ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'', with the [[CreatorCouple husband and wife team]] of director Mitsuo Fukuda and head script writer Chiaki Morosawa. They are responsible for some of the problems that afflicted the series; rather infamously, late in the show's run an animator blogged about Morosawa's perpetual tardiness with the scripts, which forced them to add lots of {{Padding}}. However, the fandom tends to exaggerate this wildly, and gladly parrots off a number of unflattering and '''never''' confirmed rumors on request, out of pure hatred for both of them ("Fukuda hates America because of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and based off Blue Cosmos and ZAFT over them"; "Cagalli got [[{{Chickification}} demoted to extra]] because Morosawa hates her [[NaomiShindo voice actress]] personally", etc). All this is on top of the accusation that Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne are their MarySue {{Author Avatar}}s, used to explain why they win and look good doing so (The fact that RieTanaka said that Lacus is a difficult role for her in [[http://www.animevice.com/news/nyaf08-interview-with-rie-tanaka/78/ an interview]] certainly didn't help matters.) Some have even gone so far as to blame [[IllGirl Morosawa's perpetual illness]] for the DevelopmentHell that's delayed the rumored ''SEED'' conclusion movie for over five years - to the creepy point of ''hoping she dies of it as "punishment" for "ruining" the series'', and there are also rumors about other "fans" ''deliberately mistranslating canon material'' to make Fukuda and Morosawa look worse than they ''truly'' were.

I don't think the Linkara quote works because he's talking about people we should be rightfully angry at, while this trope is about people who get blamed despite the fact that they weren't responsible for the unpopular decision.

* ''{{Transformers}}: WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'' head writer Bob Skir is generally blamed for not doing much to make the series a continuation of ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'', even though then MainframeEntertainment president Dan Didio (yes, THAT Dan Didio) told him ''not to watch WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' before becoming involved. His strong online presence at the time backlashed (in part thanks to the jerkass admin of his message board) into him getting most of the blame, while his writing partner Marty Isenberg, who kepts a low profile, was spared most of the flak (and went on to be the head writer for TransformersAnimated).
* SethMacFarlane is mistakingly thought to be responsible for everything and anything wrong with the UnCancelled ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow''. Everything good is someone else's work. Fans of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' in particular seem to believe the show is superior and that this is because Seth has checked out of it. [[DeadpanSnarker His power over all three shows is equal.]]

Gerard Jones quit rather than go with the Emerald Twilight plot; his suggested story was entirely different.
