for some internet stuff I can agree, like creepypasta and the like - these are ascended fan-fics no matter how popular and should be removed HOWEVER both you and Magma forget Walker is actually earning money from this and no matter your opinions on his work or that of things like Nerd or Robot Chicken they are valid under our rules on parody.

if we delete TGWTG then we may as well get rid of Family Guy, South Park and other parodies that make skewered versions of popular characters.

TGWTG profits of his work and is a qualified franchise, whether you approve or not, these internet franchises are valid if they make a living out of doing it.. the same as any other work of fiction.

so, yes, by all means remove stuff like creepypasta and fan-based games like MUGEN and even some non-profit web-comics but don't target things like TGWTG because you're against internet parodies.

so no Magma, our rules are not about targetting established parody franchises - even if they originate on internet, that is going too far.. internet is a means for people to make franchises and earn money and fans, it's not about "popularity" at all.. Walker earns money, gets actual people from shows to play parts (Animaniac voice-actors etc).. whether you like it or not he has established a franchise and it is fairly recognized as such.

as said before, if you want to start deleting this you'll have to delete Robot Chicken, Family Guy and South Park too.
