[herpymcderp]

I believe you mean Team Fourstar.

DB Abridged is just the name of the series. Which they have been doing for the past ten years.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, they probably know that.

[herpymcderp]

Clearly not, or they would have tagged it properly.

[(Anonymous)]

Or they were referring to it as part of the series.
You know, like people say Harry Potter's Fantastic Beasts instead of JK Rowling's

[herpymcderp]

That would only make sense if people actually did the thing you're talking about, which they don't. It's "Harry Potter: FB" or "Rowling's FB".

So... this is either really sketchy English or sketchy knowledge of the source.

[(Anonymous)]

Who... cares...? That's the right title, everyone knows exactly what the secret is referring to, and if they didn't then they wouldn't have recognized TFS to begin with.

[(Anonymous)]

This is pedantic in the extreme

[herpymcderp]

You know what's worse?

Not giving credit where credit is due.

[(Anonymous)]

To me, crediting the right person under the wrong name is different than crediting the wrong person, especially when interested parties can easily and immediately discover the correct name.

[diet_poison]

They...I...what?

Are you saying every time someone lists a movie in a secret they have to name the director, or else they're not giving credit? They said DBZ Abridged, which is what it's from; that's the fandom.

This is ridiculous.

[(Anonymous)]

This is such a weird thing to get butthut over.

Everyone who's been following DBZ Abridged knows who's making these videos, and calling it jsut Team Fourstar's movie doens't clear up the confusion of people who hasn't heard of the series. But call it "DBZ Abridhged" and even people who didn't hear about it will be able to figure out what the secret is referring to. More people have heard about the Abridged parodies than about team Fourstar in particular.

OP here

[(Anonymous)]

I gave credit. Do you get mad when a show is listed by name instead of by writer/producer/director/whatever else?

[dethtoll]

I'm not sure why you've chosen this particular hill to die on.

[herpymcderp]

Longtime fan = deep seated need to credit.

[dethtoll]

So do you believe it's wrong to not list the creator in any secret made about any canon?

[herpymcderp]

Only when the creative team regularly has their work stolen/shared without credit.

[dethtoll]

Do you believe that's what's happened here?

[herpymcderp]

I'm not accusing anyone of stealing anything.

Just on the off chance that TFS wasn't credited because someone did repost an uncredited video, I did feel obligated to correct that.

[dethtoll]

And you chose to express this concern in the manner you did (read: obliquely) to the secret maker who may or may not have been watching an uncredited video, because...?

[herpymcderp]

I didn't expect people would be abnormally salty about it, or even bother to comment on it actually.

But this is f!s so maybe I should have.

[dethtoll]

So you didn't expect that your obliquely-stated pedantic comment would draw a response of confusion which you describe as "abnormally salty?"

Help me understand here: are you stating that fandomsecrets SPECIFICALLY is to blame for the reaction here? Or can we fairly extrapolate to assume that any outside actor that might find your comments confusing or unreasonable would be best described as "abnormally salty" by your standards?

[(Anonymous)]

And I credited.
