History FandomEnragingMisconception / WesternAnimation

** ''Looney Tunes'' fans hate it when someone spells it "Looney TOONS". Unfortunately for them, the spelling has occasionally popped up in official Creator/WarnerBros material.

** For Brazilian Portuguese, Don't call them "As Meninas Superperigosas".

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': Referring to Raine as either male or female will earn you scorn from fans, who will be quick to tell you that Raine is non-binary. If you want to get technical, Raine is a transmasculine non-binary according to Avi Roque, which is hugely different from identifying as male.

** In a smaller note, some official material such as ''Operation: V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E.'' and Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion refer to the five main operatives as "Sector 5" instead of "Sector V" (although in the former case, there were some versions where they WERE correctly named).

* ''WesternAnimation/LuAndTheBallyBunch'': Do '''''NOT''''' call the show a "rip-off" of ''The Buzz on Maggie'' unless you want to be sprayed with RAID.

** It's not unheard of for people unfamiliar with the show to instinctively assume upon looking at the titular characters that Rocky is the moose and Bullwinkle is the squirrel when it's actually the other-way-round. The reasons for this misconception most likely stem from [[NonIndicativeName a misappropriation of their names being indicative of both their appearances and personalities.]] [[labelnote: To Analyze:]]Bullwinkle (or Bullwinkle J. [[SpeciesSurname Moose]]) is a large, strong, [[MooseAreIdiots stereotypically dumb moose]] with the atypically large moose antlers to match his [[DumbMuscle size over intelligence]]; of which one might address as having the smarts and girth of [[PunnyName heavy rocks.]] He is also definitely not a bull cattle. Rocky (or Rocket J. "Rocky" [[SpeciesSurname Squirrel]]) is a [[ShorterMeansSmarter small, smart,]] plucky and energetic flying squirrel; and thus it might sound more lenient if he were addressed by the action of scurrying normally associated with squirrels, albeit using a subtle term like 'winking' or 'winkle' as an applied portmanteau of scurrying and looking behind themselves while using their tails to 'wink' out of sight. The term 'Winkler' could also work as [[CallARabbitASmeerp an alternative name for the species in general.]] In addition, having 'Bull' as the first of three syllables of a more sophisticated name would be indicative of being full of energy -alongside intelligence- that is normally associated with charging bulls, and thus could also be applied to an innate ability to [[{{Flight}} fly at one's own will.]] Another possible theory is that people tend to see Bullwinkle as a visually and characteristically uncanny {{Expy}} of Creator/WaltDisney's [[WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} Goofy]].[[/labelnote]]

** Also, whatever you do, never confuse ''Avatar: The Last Airbender'' with Creator/JamesCameron's 2009 blockbuster ''Film/{{Avatar}}''. Best-case scenario, you will be soundly mocked for being such an unoriginal troll.

* Another thing and unless you are referring to reruns: if you were born after 1994 and say that a show you grew up with is from TheNineties, that is a sure-fire way to get fans to yell at you and assure that certain shows such as ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'' and ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' debuted ''after'' the 90s[[note]]In the case of the two shows mentioned here, they first aired in 2001 and 2004, respectively.[[/note]].
** Same applies if you are born after 1984 and say that you grew up with a show from TheEighties.

** Arthur's last name is Read and not "the Aardvark". None of the characters in the show, save for Mr. Ratburn, have a SpeciesSurname. "Buster Bunny" is [[NamesTheSame a completely]] [[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures different rabbit]].

* When discussing WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit around his fans, don't mistake him for WesternAnimation/{{Oswald}} the Octopus from Creator/NickJr due to [[NamesTheSame the name]] [[JustForFun/OneMarioLimit being more recently attributed]] to the latter. Also, don't mistake him for WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse.

* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': Since WordOfGod has confirmed Adora and Catra as lesbians, insisting that they could be bisexual and/or [[IncompatibleOrientation shipping them with men]] will irritate a good deal of the fanbase and possibly get you accused of lesbian erasure.[[note]]Does not apply to the [[WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower 1985 Filmation version.[[/note]]

* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': Since WordOfGod has confirmed Adora and Catra as lesbians, insisting that they could be bisexual and/or [[IncompatibleOrientation shipping them with men]] will irritate a good deal of the fanbase and possibly get you accused of lesbian erasure.

** Assuming the show is for preschoolers[[note]]in reality, it's rated [=TV-Y7=][[/note]] is a surefire way to get yourself chased by an angry mob of fans.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'':
** With how frequently it occurs, referring to Raine as either male or female will earn you some scorn from fans who will be quick to tell you that Raine is non-binary. If you want to get technical, Raine is a transmasculine non-binary according to Avi Roque, which is hugely different from identifying as male.
** Do not say that you ship Luz and Amity with anyone other than each other. [[{{Polyamory}} Adding people to the relationship generally considered okay]], but one without the other is a strict no-no.

* Saying that all cartoons from UsefulNotes/TheNewTens have the same basic art-style (or, worse, refer to said allegedly similar art-style as the so-called "[=CalArts=] style"[[labelnote:*]]a buzzword phrase originally coined by Creator/JohnKricfalusi back in the 1990s, based on the (incorrect) perception that all TV animators from the 2010s graduated from California art school [=CalArts=] and that the school forces students to learn the same exact ThinLineAnimation "bean-mouth" art-style, which is a Fandom-Enraging Misconception in of itself[[/labelnote]]) is a good way for people to stop taking you seriously and get a mob of fans of the many shows that came out that decade to come out of the woodwork to show you how distinct the shows actually are from each other and how a number of prominent TV animators never even went to [=CalArts=] in the first place.

** Regarding the DistantFinale ending to ''WesternAnimation/ChannelChasers'', do not say that the mother of Timmy's children Tommy and Tammy is explicitly Tootie. [[note]]Of course, there's nothing wrong with having Tootie as the mother in fan works.[[/note]] Who the mother is supposed to be (confirmed by WordOfGod) is [[AmbiguousSituation ambiguous]]. Also, do not use the live action movies (where Timmy ends up with Tootie) as evidence that confirms Tootie is the mother, as those entries [[CanonDiscontinuity completely ignore]] the ending to ''Channel Chasers'' as a whole and thus have no bearing on who the mother is. Similarly, do not say that ''WesternAnimation/{{Wishology}}'' confirms Trixie is the mother either, [[spoiler: especially since everyone's memories were erased at the end of that adventure]]. Tootie and Timmy ''are'' an OfficialCouple as adults in ''Film/AFairlyOddMovieGrowUpTimmyTurner'', but that movie is almost definitely not canon to the animated series and [[FanonDiscontinuity few fans want to treat it as such]].

* ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'': In the Mr. Peabody and Sherman segments, like ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' above, do not refer to Mr. Peabody as Sherman's pet. He is Sherman's adoptive father.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' has a number of these concerning [[SpellMyNameWithAnS the spelling of certain characters' names]]: Susie is not "Suzie" or "Suzy", Dil is not "Dill" or "Dyl", Stu is not "Stew", Chuckie is not [[Film/ChildsPlay "Chucky"]], his stepsister Kimi is not "Kimmi", "Kimmy", or "Kimmie", and his father is Chas not "Chaz" or "Chazz". Even the show's own title gets this: it's "Rugrats", not "[=RugRats=]", "Rug Rats", or "[[TheTheTitleConfusion The]] Rugrats".

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' has a number of these concerning [[SpellMyNameWithAnS the spelling of certain characters' names]]: Susie is not "Suzie" or "Suzy", Chuckie is not [[Film/ChildsPlay "Chucky"]], and his father is Chas not "Chaz" or "Chazz".

* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'': Calling the Chat Noir from the original trailer "Adrien". He was a completely different character, dubbed "Felix" by fans. His personality and interactions with Marinette would have been completely different from Adrien.

* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'': All the KND agents are codenamed Numbuh (Something). Not "Number" or "Numbah". Unfortunately, Cartoon Network itself used the latter misspelling multiple times, even back when the show was airing. This is also the case on Wiki/ThisVeryWiki.

** Same applies if you are born after 1984 and say that you grew with a show from TheEighties.
