YMMV / DK Vine

• Ass Pull: Almost half the canon fixes in the fanon. From Master Hand's Interdimensional Chest of Time to Diddy Kong's prosthetic golfing fingers, this site will throw anything at the wall to explain away inconsistencies.
• Bizarro Episode: The infamous Bear Rape topic became such a site meme that it was reopened!
• Creator Worship: Tons. New Staff member Sparky Z was popularly lampooned by Carter as a Chad and Slush worshipping elf. Mark's monikor "News Whore" comes from him sucking up to gain his editorship.
• Crack Pairing: The Romance of the DKU feature notes that fans use the chemistry system in the Mario Baseball games to justify their shipping.
  Donkey Kong ♥z Petey Piranha 4 EVA N ALWAYZ!
• Death of the Author: After the Old Staff quit, their final sway in controlling DKU canon was lost. Aussie Ben would later take over the forums in attempt to enforce his will over Viva Piñata's canonicity.
• Fandom Rivalry:
  • While at least some members are Fire Emblem fans, their disdain towards Fire Emblem characters being added into Super Smash Bros. has caused this with the larger Fire Emblem fanbase.
  • They also have this with non-Rare fans, considering the general perception of the company outside the site hasn't exactly been in their favor.
• Fanon Discontinuity:
  • Most posters consider the New Staff a worthless addition to the site and prefer to forget it exists, particularly satirical articles by Saf.
  • Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is a surprising aversion. It is considered to be canon by the site, though a Running Gag is that it was just a great drug trip. Perhaps considering it part of the original canon is a Take That! against its creators, who wished to avert that.
• Mis-blamed: Shigeru Miyamoto was blamed for Rare not producing a new Donkey Kong Country, due to his infamously disparaging quote. Nevermind he later became a huge force in getting a new game made, he became the center of paranoid conspiracy theories wherein he was directly out to sabotage Rareware, in such ways as "forcing" Star Fox on Dinosaur Planet and mispromoting Conker's Bad Fur Day.
