*** That's not even getting into Ahsoka Tano. In some circles, if you even insinuate that she's slowly being RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap (starting in Season 2), hope your Force powers can repel InternetBackdraft. On top of that, if you even ''suggest'' that Cad Bane is slightly more interesting than Boba Fett? Make your jump to hyperspace and never look back.

* ''SilentHill'' fan? Not if you don't like ''SilentHill2''! As every "true" fan knows, ''2'' had the best story, the best atmosphere, and set the rules for how the town itself "punishes siinners". This despite the entire rest of the series not lining up with ''2'', or the fact that the man who invented the series left after making the first game. Nope, you're apparently not a true ''SilentHill'' fan, if you like other games in the series but dislike the second.

To be a true fan, ensure that you refer to every character only by their original Japanese names. No, don't even use the proper romanizations of the obvious name-puns; it's Meiru, not Mayl. For that matter, the series is called ''[=Rockman.EXE=]'', and don't you forget it.
