Yikes! While I agree with some things you've said (the part about YGO:TAS characterisation replacing canon as the default setting when people write the cast in a lot of the fandom, which is actually more a reflection of the fandom itself and the mentality of the people in it than LK and what he does) you do come across as rather bitter and ... overly serious. 'Makes you sick'? Really? Perhaps you didn't mean to sound so vehement, but that does seem quite an emphatic way of talking about an unofficial satire that, while it has gained notoriety and become (insanely) popular, would not exist if not for a love of the canon material. If TAS has started to affect your love of YGO and you don't like the direction it has taken, then maybe it's better to stick with the place in its timeline when you still liked it and not go any further, or go back to canon entirely.

Personally, while some of the changes in TAS have been jarring, that's what you get when something goes from being the product of one mind to that of several. It may just be a reverse case of 'working alone you can't please all people all the time' - more 'lots of people working together can't please every individual'. Or something. I still like it for what it is: a bit of satire not intended to be anything but a fun way to pass the time and reflect that, daft as it is, YGO has endured for so long because we like daft things, however much we like to pretend otherwise.

[You have no idea how long I spent thinking of the right way to phrase this post so it didn't make me sound like a preachy knobhead. I think I may sound more like a pleb though. Feh.]
