MisBlamed

This troper once broke a ''FinalFantasy'' purist's brain - said idiot was saying that Kuja and Vaan were typical of Nomura's artstyle, and that the series should have stopped when Nomura started to ''direct it''. He said, and I quote, "So it shouldn't have stopped then? Even when Nomura was busy doing other things?" He also didn't mention a thing about how Nomura's only time directing the series is Versus XIII, or that he was a monster designer in V.

This troper was also accidentally lead to believe that the Dubbing crew removed the manji from Neji's forehead. Granted though, he didn't see the japanese version and had only read the manga.

This ''PhineasAndFerb'' fan has twice been misblamed for starting the idea of shipping Ferb with Gretchen (though, frankly, I think it's a smarter idea than supporting him with his PrecociousCrush, on the grounds that Ferb/Vanessa is basically pedophilia). It was actually first mentioned in a fic by Bobtherandomguy (who now regrets introducing the idea) and popularized by Waddle-Dance's fanfic ''Bottled Feelings''.

This troper once encountered a YouTube comment (oh god) that blamed 4Kids for not letting Jaden advance past Slifer Red. This troper corrected him, because that really wasn't 4Kids' fault, only for the comment to get thumbed down. Apparently, even defending 4Kids for something they had nothing to do with is an act of pure evil.

This troper had something similar, where, in a video for the music in ''KingdomHeartsReCoded'', someone said "Figures Nintendo would reuse the music." Immediately I said, "When did DisneyInteractive and SquareEnix give the rights to ''KingdomHearts'' to Nintendo? Last I checked, Nintendo didn't even ''publish'' it." They responded with "When Nintendo sold the rights to Geno over" - Last I checked, Geno was owned by Squaresoft - now SquareEnix. Another comment was even saying that Nintendo had little input over ''KingdomHeartsReCoded''.

This troper overheard in a chatroom where someone said that Baibanira (You know, the ice cream pokemon) was proof that Ken Sugimori was running out of ideas. My response? "Really? Out of ''all'' the hundreds of pokemon, many of which have a worse design *cough*Jynx*cough*, you pick the ''one'' pokemon family that ''wasn't'' designed by Ken Sugimori? Really?"

Unusual example: as an aficionado of lush prose, the sort one finds in fiction such as ''The Wood Beyond the World'' and the works of H.P. Lovecraft, I used to blame the influence of Ernest Hemingway for the decline of poetic descriptions in literature from the mid-twentieth century onward. Recently, however, I realized that this shift was instead attributable to the rise of film, with the result that more authors decided to reduce descriptive passages in order to showcase action, wanted to create characters who spouted clever one-liners, and expected their books to be adapted into movies. Before the mid-twentieth century, authors drew their inspiration from other works of literature.

This troper is getting annoyed at how his hockey team's goaltender, (JaroslavHalak) is getting heat as the Blues goaltender for "poor play." When in fact, it's the poor team chemistry between Eric Brewer and Erik Johnson that is the real culprit. They skate in their own zone too long and it's somehow Halak's fault. What makes this really absurd is that they haven't addressed this issue in a few years! Injuries have also played a factor, but don't blame Halak when you play your own puck in your own zone like a chicken that had its head cut off. Don't ask me why poor puck defence is somehow Halak's fault, but thanks to the Blues' FanDumb, it is.

This troper was in a production of ''TheGondoliers,'' and one person's review of the piece disparaged the artistic director's apparent trend of making "cutesy" jokes - but most of the jokes, such as a re-write of Giuseppe's song in act 2, were done by the actors playing Marco and Giuseppe, not by the artistic director.

This troper likes reading Amazon 1-star reviews from time to time. One of them for the film version of ''SweeneyTodd'' expressed dissatisfaction with the ending, saying that Tim Burton must've wrote himself into a corner. Except Tim Burton didn't write it.

This troper loved seeing an idiotic person (who said he was British) claim that America got ''BigBrother'' and ''{{Survivor}}'' from the UK. Actually, we got it from Sweden, Norway, and Denmark's "Expedition Robinson" - We didn't rip off Survivor from the UK because the first American Survivor series was in 2000 - Survivor Palau Tiga was produced in 2001. And as big ''BigBrother'', that came from Holland.

Recently, this troper heard someone complain that atlus "Took the wimpy way out" and made Hitler "The Fuhrer" in ''{{Persona 2}}'' for America and Europe, and used "Iron Crosses" instead of Swastikas. But wait a minute...this is ''June 2011''. The games are not out here yet. And funny enough, He's "The Fuhrer" in the Japanese version too. Instead, I think the wimpy way out isn't coming up with a different model for him, or putting an eyepatch on him for a subtle ShoutOut.
