  • When Sailor Moon originally aired in the U.S., it didn't quite catch on with the young female demographic it was intended for despite "well-intended" edits and it was soon canceled. A huge Internet petition campaign (Save Our Sailors) quickly cropped up to have the show put back on the air, at which point the executives started to notice a huge amount of its fandom was male. Indeed, even in its country of origin its slightly less unexpected popularity with boys probably explains the show's incredibly long run.

I deleted this:
  • Save Our Sailors was a joke (I was around fandom at the time) and there's no reason to believe it was noticed by executives.
  • Most of the problem with Sailor Moon in the US was caused by bad timeslots, which is why it did significantly better on Canada being on a national network at a better time.
  • The show's "long run" has already been beaten out by Pretty Cure, even though that doesn't have as much of a male audience.

This is technically a YMMV item, but the last folder cites a number of works where this is actually used as a device in a story. (And yes, I'm the one who added UHF.) Do we even have guidelines when a YMMV article itself gets referenced and used in a story?

You note that it's "in-universe."

Why was the "Playing With" page perma red linked?

That is probably because it was cut.
