History NeverLiveItDown / WesternAnimation

** Amity's detractors who don't ship her with Luz will never forget their first episode together involving Amity trying to have Luz dissected (which was actually Principal Bump's idea and likely a trick to force Luz to reveal herself [[AmbitiousSituation however it was never clarified if that was the case or not]]) or her second episode where she stomped on King's cupcake just to spite Luz, accepted her duel challenge to maim her, and blamed Luz for her misfortunes [[NeverMyFault which she actually caused herself]], all while Luz was [[MustMakeAmends trying to reconcile]].

** Patrick in general is constantly [[RonTheDeathEater demonized]] for his JerkassBall moments, despite the fact that there are just as many episodes where he's his usual incredibly stupid but well-meaning self. In particular, he gets flack for torturing Gary in "Pet Sitter Pat", stealing [=SpongeBob=]'s Krabby Patty toy in "Yours, Mine, and Mine", and gluing [=SpongeBob=] in a wringer in "Stuck in the Wringer". He also gets a lot of heat for "The Card" over a ''single joke'' (said joke was implying he's being deliberately dumb to spice things up. The thing is, he made a similar joke like this in an earlier episode where Squidward asks if he needs to be done someplace else).

*** It may have more to do with how shallow their relationship is shown at times. Both have shown heavy attractions to other characters in an extremely unsubtle manner (Stan once constantly attempted to make passes to a substitute teacher and even gloated about supposedly making love to her ''to Wendy's face'' while Wendy became disinterested in Stan in favor of another popular jock less than one season after they got back together). Their less than affectionate relationship was even {{Lampshaded}} in ''Raisins''.

** Maggie shooting Mr. Burns, even though (barring the spooky closeup of her we get at the end, which was played as a joke) all evidence points to it being an accident. On a sweeter note, her saying, "Daddy" to Homer.

* Many characters in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' are constantly lampshaded by the things they did in the past (especially the secondary characters). Some character ''only'' become known by the things that happened to them.

** Iggy forcing Arnold to wear bunny pajamas in public in "Arnold Betrays Iggy". Even though he realized his mistake after hearing Sid and Stinky admit to pulling the secret out of Arnold's mouth, Arnold never forgave him, nor did the fans. Even Craig Bartlett himself was ashamed of the episode, and Iggy never made another major appearance again. Sid and Stinky can qualify too, since they were the ones that randomly guessed Arnold's secret about Iggy, and also that they broke the promise they made with Arnold not to give away Iggy's secret. Unlike Iggy, this didn't get the two of them removed from the series.

** Korra herself is victim to this, mostly after she TookALevelInJerkass in Book 2. Even after her CharacterDevelopment midway through book 2, people still accuse her of being an entitled brat [[AesopAmnesia that never learns anything]].

** Canon example: Katara made ''one'' speech about hope and courage and freedom. ''[[ShowWithinAShow The Ember Island Players]]''[='=]s [[WhoWouldWantToWatchUs stage rendition of her]] was constantly waxing melodramatic about hope and "tearbending".

** There's also Kevin's actions in the episode "[[Recap/EdEddnEddyS4E13YourEdHere Your Ed Here]]". Normally only beating up the Eds if they truly deserved it, and ''has'' been kind (or at least passive neutral) to them in the past, this episode had Kevin find out Eddy's EmbarrassingMiddleName and proceed to [[{{Blackmail}} go out of his way to humiliate Eddy in order to keep it secret]]. After Eddy goes through a HumiliationConga to keep it secret, Kevin ''[[KickTheDog proceeds to tell everyone anyways]]''. Needless to say, fans were '''''[[{{Understatement}} not]]''''' [[{{Understatement}} happy about this]], and though Kevin quickly reverted to his original characterization ([[{{Flanderization}} for a while, anyways]]) the {{Fandom}} '''still''' portrays him as a raging {{Jerkass}} with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

** The schezwan sauce incident is one of the most well known things about the series. The fanbase took a joke Rick made about an old McDonald's dipping sauce so seriously that they rioted at the restaurants when there wasn't enough to go around.

* Buttercup of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' has been shown to be a decent person even though she is often rude and aggressive, but a VocalMinority outright despise her due to making Bubbles cry by breaking her chalk in "All Chalked Up" and smiling while her sister cried over it, or when she threw glue at Elmer in "Paste Makes Waste", although she did apologize for that (despite being forced to by Blossom and Bubbles).

* Comicbook/{{Aquaman}} is commonly haunted by his portrayal in the ''{{WesternAnimation/Superfriends}}'' cartoons; as a guy whose only real powers are swimming and talking to fish he was ([[ThisLooksLikeAJobFOrAquaman almost]]) always useless, to the point of MemeticMutation. This has actually worked out for him a little, as [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague later]] [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold iterations]] of the character usually go to great (and awesome) lengths to subvert this image.

* Starfire of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' was shown drinking mustard once. It's common for it to be referenced in fan works. She is, however, shown at several points later with a bottle of mustard with a straw in it in the background, even if she's not actually in the process of drinking it.

* The latter character of ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' frequently gets flak with fans due to the handful of episodes in which he is a DesignatedHero who [[KarmaHoudini defeats Tom despite starting the feud]]. This disregards that Jerry was usually genuinely benevolent (or at least more so than Tom) and one of the ''most'' vulnerable heroes to the loss of KarmicProtection in Western Animation, not to mention a similar number of occasions [[TheBadGuyWins Tom got the last laugh despite still being the instigator]]. This is best illustrated in ''JustForFun/TheItchyAndScratchyShow'', where the two main characters are blatant {{Expy}}s of Jerry and Tom respectively. The show's portrayal of the Jerry-like mouse character is that of a sadist with a penchant for murdering not only [[TheWoobie Scratchy]] but any other cat or sometimes even any other animal that happens to appear in the episode.

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'':

* ''WesternAnimation/MastersOfTheUniverseRevelation'': Skeletor's MotiveRant identifying his poor love life as one of his reasons for becoming evil. Fans found this utterly ridiculous and mockingly called this version of Skeletor an incel, no matter that he ended this MotiveRant by saying [[PhysicalGod he was determined to become a god]] if he wouldn't be loved as a man.

Fans found this utterly ridiculous and mockingly called this version of Skeletor an incel, no matter that he ended this MotiveRant by saying [[PhysicalGod he was determined to become a god]] if he wouldn't be loved as a man.

In particular, he gets flack for torturing Gary in "Pet Sitter Pat", stealing [=SpongeBob=]'s Krabby Patty toy in "Yours, Mine, and Mine", and gluing [=SpongeBob=] in a wringer in "Stuck in the Wringer".

** Some fans seemed to still be squicked out by Marco technically being 30 and Star still a teen due to Marco being stuck inside another world for thirty years inside there, but only a few minutes outside of that world.
** Moon is hated by mant fans for betraying her daughter and Eclipsa to the insane Mina over her distrust of Eclipsa being bitter about losing her family for a short time. Although her distrust for Eclipsa was mostly baseless and it was also some of her fault she lost her memories.

** Star [[spoiler:destroying magic dooming countless beings and civilizations]] in the SeriesFinale is practically the only thing fans talk about her or the series since. Star alone is the target of backlash, [[BlackComedy or genocide jokes]], ignoring the objectionable {{OOC}} actions of other characters this season thwarting peaceful alternatives leaving Star [[ShootTheDog no clear other option to save her people]].
