Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 06. 2023
- Lord X? Xenophanes? Starved EGGMAN?! Many Sonic.Exe characters and mods were recently banned on FNF GameBanana. These include famous Friday Night Funkin' stars from Vs. Sonic Exe 2.5 / 3.0, such as Furnace, Curse, and God Z from the D-Sides mod. We talk about how the ban list went from characters with drama and controversy like Faker, Mid Fight Masses, Sky, and Bob and Bosip, to quintupling in size in 2023. After multiple Twitter posts addressed the bans, a new solution was ultimately created. In this video, we explain the Sonic.Exe FNF Mod-Apocalypse in 5 minutes!
What's your favorite Sonic.Exe character in 2023? 🦔🤔 Let's comment below!

🤔 What's your favorite Sonic.Exe character in 2024? 🦔
Definitely
I love them all except for educator and omw
Sonic.OMW and DX Gamebreaker
Lord x and hypera accurate
EXE/Faker
Removing the banlist has solved so many problems! Now most of the cancelled mods will be back on track again! I can’t wait for what the future holds for the Friday Night Funkin’ community.
No, they're not return.
Doubt cancelled mods will truly be back on track. But yeah, the banlist being removed was a better way to 'heal the fandom' if you know what I mean
Nothing will change and mods will still get cancelled due other reasons, as well as still being unoriginal with a new Sonic.exe aah mod every 4 seconds
No one learns.
I'm pretty sure it's only for exe mods, all other mods stay banned
Faker/EXE was unbanned after his creator's drama was cleared up, but it was banned again together with Lord x, I am unaware if Faker was unbanned eventually.
He was, every sonic.exe character was off the ban list, including Faker/EXE
@@DefinitelyNotHoppy nice
EXE and Lord X was unbanned first and then all was unbanned
and we dont have to ask perms for exe anymore
As someone who's been in the EXE community since 2018, personally I can see where a lot of EXE creators are coming from.
Although they share the same character as Sonic, Mario, whatever, they're still completely different character-wise and the only similarity is a silhouette.
Given how some of us treat EXE creators, I feel like this was deserved, however I feel like people should stop rejoicing over these kinds of things honestly.
Sure, the ban list only affected popular EXE's who's pretty much been in every EXE mod, however creating these songs are not as black and white as taking a character, remixing the song, etc.
You have to make assets, you have to write a background, and essentially create entirely new interpretations out of a pre-existing character UNLESS it's just a restoration/revival mod, those needed to go anyways.
Rerun and Red Ring's takes on Lord X are perfect examples of how you can manage to make a unique song for an unoriginal character, aside from who's mod has him banned and who's mod does not.
Instead of laughing at the people who's honest work was lost, can't we just stick to blaming the people who ruined it for the rest of them?
This has to be the best take I have seen about this discussion
W
Fair and I agree however I think that it’s a bit more than a silhouette when it comes to these characters. Focusing on lord x for instance he’s sonic the entire reason he’s “scary” is because he’s a messed up version of sonic. This goes for a lot of exes as well regardless of fnf. Popularity does not change the fact that the character is still in large part only popular because it’s an alternate version of another character. I think they forget as shown when they basically tried to copyright their characters on gamebanna. Aside from being legally questionable it was unrealistic to expect someone to check everybody for one specific character. It also doesn’t help that these characters were practically public property at this point considering how many people had implemented them into their projects. I write too but their on ocs their au characters if they want to try and claim sold ownership then they should remove sonic and Mario from the equation entirely. Of course they won’t because that would make their characters lose a defining trait.
The banlist was flawed. This option is better. I love Lord X, EXE, and Starved. Their concepts and designs are pretty cool, and I was worried I had to remove them all. Thankfully I made replacements for EXE and Starved, and I planned on removing Lord X altogether for Funkin'.EXE.
In case you're wondering, no. I probably won't scrap Lord X. I'm just gonna ask JoeDoughBoi's permission.
Game jolt?
It isn't flawed at all your just being selfish
@@skymixelthen your just overrating lord x
@@bigtits-ge4er This was made when I was STILL in the FNF community. Not anymore, though. The mod's canned for good.
the way metatera called "Xenophanes" was not expected, the pronunciation saga is back 😭🤚
*_There's a banlist? Huh didn't knew that._*
I pronounce it zenophones
fr, XE NO PHA NES 💀
It wouldn't be a normal vid without mispronouncing at least one word haha! 😂 I've definitely learned from the comments though lol
@@toastedprocastinatorHe pronounced it correctly
@@MetateraYTYou didn't mispronounce anything
Giving some other info here, the reason why Starved Eggman and his bot Furnace got banned was due to their new creator making a new version of said characters so she didn't want thpse characters to be associated either with their predecessors and FNF anymore, even though the characters are now unbanned, the new pwner still disincourage the usage of the old forms
As for Curse, his ban was a misunderstanding, as their actual creator didn't approve the ban, so they only banned the old assets he had for the mod Vs Sonic.exe
Thank you for the additional information :)
1:16 “ZENOPHENEEZ” 😂😂😂😂 IM FREAKING *DYING* BRO
That’s actually how to pronounce it…
I'm pretty sure "Zea-no-fains" is the way the name is pronounced in the English language, while "Zen-nof-fo-nees" is the way the name is pronounced in Greek or Latin, I think.
Ngl, the latter pronunciation sounds really cool.
@@sandow8575 agreed, sounds less like a plane shifting xenomorph and more like a long forgotten greek god of torment
Zen nof fo nees
Not going to lie, the banlist moments are pretty insane...
i'm glad that FNF Gamebanana just reconsider their choice...
Wait, THAT'S how Xenophanes is pronounced? I was thinking it would be pronounced as Zee-no-veins
Yes canonicaly that's how Xenophanes is pronounced
Ze-no-fa-knees
It kinds of depends on the language, since it's pronounced the same way the philosopher's name was pronounced, but it changes in some languages
@@jessicaruizcollazo2372 I'm pretty sure "Zea-no-fains" is the way the name is pronounced in the English language, while "Zen-nof-fo-nees" is the way the name is pronounced in Greek or Latin, I think.
@@Riley.mk07 well I think that At least canon Xenophanes should be pronounced as Zen of a knees so,
Your probably right but my point still stands
I agree with people saying the ban list was stupid were right. Because like every single EXE is just a derivative of a copyrighted character, meaning they legally have no way to fight it in court if someone decided to use it. Not to mention nobody would've given a shit about their creation if it weren't for FNF. Literally that OG Sonic.exe mod was what gave shit like Lord X and all the other countless EXEs any relevance in the first place
I see both sides: I don’t believe these creators should be able to ban the use of the characters as they’re simply slightly tweaked versions of characters that they don’t own
BUT I despise sonic.exe mods, they’re poisoning all the originality in fnf, finding an original mod is damn near as difficult as finding a shiny Pokémon
true, it feels like half of the new mods coming out are just another exe revival
fr, eventually you'll get tired of hearing those deep pitched beeps
this is so true like.. those orginal ones like Tabi and Whitty back then and yet characters like them is seriously becoming rare
Yeah i see where you're coming from, but at least there's the upcoming soulles dx
Soulles dx for me feels diferent from other Sonic.exe mods like illegal instruction and while they have some exe characters in there they're not really the main priotity, tails doll is.
9 year olds after consuming their 9999999999999999999999999999th Sonic.exe revival:
2:17 "diga bye bye" to lord x
Sonic.exe and the word "apocalypse" fit together so well for so many reasons
It always comes back from any situation haha!
Imagine banning an oc from IP you don’t own. When your work is out online, it’s free real estate…especially if you don’t have stock in the IP you used
Cant be me
Did Revie request for Faker to be taken down? I thought Faker was forgiven and removed from the ban list after the whole true reveal?
Some people said that dumbie asked revie to put him on there but knowing why starved and furnaces ban I don't know anymore
Fun Fact:
Revie, the new Starved Owner, explained that Dumbie didn’t put Starved in. AveryAvery, who co-created the original Starved alongside Dumbie, and put him in without Dumbie knowing. And by the time Dumbie did find out, he was almost set in, and it was too late to pull him.
I love the fact that this has a happy ending! Its so cool that Final escape starts at 2:56 where its starts to get better but when characters are being removed from the banlist at 3:17 its a perfect sinc where the inst gets amazing!
That's awesome you noticed! I always try to make videos with purpose behind the editing/story. :)
@@MetateraYT Thats Awsome! U put so much detail into just a few mins of a vid. Idk how u do it
@@theworstgamerintheworld676 Lots of passion and soul, my friend!
FNF modders thinking that they own an edgy version of Sonic or any other copyrighted character really shows you the entitlement and hypocrisy of the FNF community. Constantly deriving and using other people’s creations for your own but not giving that same courtesy to others. This type of immaturity is why the community has such a bad rep, aside from the more serious accusations. Stop listening to these entitled people and use whatever character that you want, and if Game Banana won’t allow it find another site or self-publish.
Not gonna lie gamebana definitely hates is consumers who make fnf mods.
Yeah I remember playing that it was good.
I was assuming eggman and furnace were banned because of that thing on the news about the Year 6 drawing pictures of them.
The new solution sounds more organized. Proper control over permissions.
The fact it took exe bans for this to happens is saying something
1:41 oh hey look, im there! lmao
5:14, lmao, Bob is forgotten
I'm honestly more bummed out about Brightside. He's been a guilty pleasure of mine for a long time and it's depressing to see him go.
oooo the editing is really nice! i like how you explain everything its very easy to understand and follow very nice
Hey bro! Thank you for checking this out! This vid was a bit slower and more methodical compared to usual videos, since it was a bit controversial. Usually, videos have more wacky and light-hearted feels to them haha :)
Crazy Chaos Explained By Our One and Only Metatera! Thanks for the research on this - never knew this stuff
Glad to have helped, it was quite challenging fitting everything into a simple light haha!
Im so glad they got rid of of the unfair bans and instead opted for the liscense system
0:01 whats up friday night funkers
i think the new idea (with what allowed, what you need permission and what you can't do) is much better that baning ALL exe's tbh. At least, it's will be like sonic exe mod where for an the exe of someone you was need his permission. Even though gamejolt and the google drives link exist (i say that because before, there was a rule who forbidden revival of illegal instruction and there was a revival on gamejolt before mod got uncancelled and cancelled again), that a better move than just banned the BEST exe's ever just for nothing
fun fact there was a point on the ban list that NMI and requital were banned but that only lasted like 5 hours
the only thing I didn't like that came out from this was people like joedougboy (creater/owner of lord x) gave permission to the lord x wrath mod to keep using lord x even when the ban list went up, and everyone decided that the best course of action was to try and spread rumors about the devs of lord x wrath and joe (+ other character owners) because they gave lord x wrath permission and other people didn't get it. I can understand being upset but some people just couldn't respect their wishes.
And this is why I'm wishing for this shitty community's downfall. Nobody respects anyone, so I've lost respect for everyone here in turn.
3:20
YES!!! Starved, furnace, lord x, and more are back in action!
I personally agree that EXE mods are already infuriating and poisoning the community overshadowing the truly original and cool mods, but I don't understand people who forbid using their characters and are afraid that people will associate them with FNF. Like guys, let's be realistic, no one cares about your characters, they became so popular thanks to FNF and if not for this game, it is unlikely that many people would know about your character.
They Are Banned!!!
But Now We'll Gonna Take The Permission Of The Creator
Me For example, I wanted to use DX from the Gamebreaker song of the Soulles DX mod for a project as a series, but for that I had to have the permissions of the character creator (which is the great Saster), but when I saw the message in The Breakin Bundle Mod On The CommunityGame Channel, Yes We Could Use It For Our Mod, As Long As We Give Credits To Saster And The People Behind The Character (In Brief Those Of Soulles DX)
Cool Video :D
Gamebreaker is so overrated like wth
Good thing SL4SH is back, just in time for the Tetrabraichial sequel too.
Well guys, if Gamebanana fails us, we still got Gamejolt
But we all know how THAT site is.
@@pikachuwithabellypatchNo, idk how is
My gamejolt mod page aint getting any views,friend and I are still searching for people to join our mod lol
@@ElizeniasFunkinArtNVA bruh
i think revivals are the worst thing happened to sonic.exe especially after the original mod got cancelled
I'm on the fence about this whole issue. On one hand, it's good to let people express their creativity to its fullest extent. On the other hand, it's important to respect the wishes of creators as well. I can't say anything about most of the Sonic.EXE OC's present in most of Friday Night Funkin's mods, as I know practically nothing about them, nor do I care because personally I'll forever cherish the original over any other interpretation as that's the one I grew up with, but credit where credit's due- Xenophanes's creator, AstranomiconX, has been through more than enough harrassment just because the actual character she created doesn't match with the sloppy and disrespectful interpretation created for the original mod, and given she's already had a rough enough past with... Sonic.EXE's original creator, she doesn't deserve to go through what she's gone through and not have a little bit of justice delivered. Honestly, if I was in her position, I'd block access to allow use of my character out of spite too. It's only fair. At the end of the day though, this is the internet and you can't stop anyone from doing anything, as tragic as it is, so it's really all up to the goodwill of the people to respect Astranomicon's wishes, but given this is the Friday Night Funkin' fandom... I doubt there's much of that to go around.
You don’t own Sonic, you people really need to realize that.
@@TrueAfricanHero That much is obvious, but it's not like SEGA's gonna come and stop anyone until money gets involved.
This is so fun to watch
Without the sonic.exe mod, i wouldn't've of even known about this community. it it ever becomes lost in time with no remixes or other mods about it, it'll be a sad day for me.
when you said sonic exe as a whole would disappear from fnf i got outa my chair and started celebrating
1:55 Fnf mfs be like: yaaay we had 3 popular mods and now we got two(d&b and indie cross), if they will get canceled our fandom will fucking die yaaaay
f
I just wish there were more oc mods, we haven't gotten a lotta those since the early days of fnf
Most mods now in a nutshell
"Wow, cool mod, I wonder what the future of it will be!"
as someone who has ocs, i get it somewhat. as an art philosophist, a ban list is completely against the premise of art and creativity.
Hopefully this means all the actually original fnf mods get attention : )
BRO HE SAID XENOPHANES CORRECTLY this is a w
Thank *GOD* the Gamebanana Ban list tweaked.
I was kinda scared that these characters would die off
Well, I appear to be enlightened in a whole new light with the darkness of Sonic.exe.
still would prefer if people did not use furnace and starved. i banned them for a reason.
So you banned Furnace and Starved in FNF because request from the original creator? (I know the original creator is Dumbie)
@@funkingarden123 that and other things
the list is now only dedicated to collecting controversial characters, so the Exe and even the MFM characters can be used again :D
xenophanis? You mean Xenophanes?
I had this random Idea of an MM remix that involved what I view as the holy trinity of EXE’s
Mario, Sonic, and Monika. And just have a good v evil continuation of sort.
This is a good change
If the ban list gets scrapped or atleast becomes better I'd be fine with that
Time to trend every gamebanana sonic.exe ban list post
so, lemme add smth rq
curse is my creation, and he was added to the list in bad faith
someone had faked ownership of him just to get him banned bc,,, they dont like me, so, it caused a bit of a fuss but also rejoice bc curse is controversial for good reason-ish
bare in mind, i had no part in this, the current owner didn't either, this was done under our noses and it caused a spree and i almost had a panic attack as a result
i got in touch with a GB dev thanks to some connections i have, and it was worked out, though i think this was a tip as to why the banlist was modified
bc it was so easy for them to do this, they had no real proof and it almost fucked me and a lot of people over just bc they didn't like me
it was stressful, i hated every second of it, but i'm glad its over, bc holy shit that was genuinely one of the worst experiences i've had fnf-wise, and i worked on exe
At least you understand why we all hate curse lmao, as a trans woman, seeing most queer characters (in the fnf modding scene specifically) be depicted as these whiny softies frustrates me, we need to be brave and strong willed to make it in this world and I wish more trans characters (I.E Mad Mew Mew) would show that
Also I just think it’s stupid to make a character who wasn’t originally trans be trans for no reason, I want ORIGINAL representation.
@@CephaVa hha abt that
as a trans man!!! curse was made to be the result of a lot of trauma bashing in and destroying someone both physically and mentally, hes still strong and powerful, no doubt! i plan on expanding on this more in his new story, but he was never made to be "soft", he was made to be kind even through the bullshit he went tru
@@CephaVa i have plenty of that, just uh,,, no one paid attention bc curse was the lightning in a bottle :[
@@demon_clinichuh, I suppose that does make sense, I suppose I failed to take into account that people handle trauma in different ways, I tend to react with anger and be very hard-shelled, though I suppose that mustn’t be the case with everyone , I’d like to give a sincere apology, I’ve spent close to a year shitting on curse, I’d be interested in learning more about him, if you could perhaps link me to some lore?
1:48 hey im on the bottom
Damn that's crazy, anyways I see that gengar up in the top shelf
He's a happi boi!
@@MetateraYT the best of the ghost bois
"many were disappointed"
"do you like my cat"
I was upset at first, but honestly it doesn't feel all that bad since I've been slowly moving away from FNF as a whole and enjoying "real music". What still stings to me is when people try to stamp on people's creativity because exe mods in general are overdone; just cause it's something inspired by blue deville doesn't mean they're clout chasing.
yeah true
the ban list creepypasta
So if I wanted to make a mod, are you saying it has to go through gamebanana firts to be playable on the game?
There are multiple ways to upload mods (GameBanana, GameJolt, Google Drive, etc.), however GameBanana is the most well-known platform for FNF. GameJolt has less restrictions, however, morally, the same rules should be followed :)
THANK god
Most mods now are either dnb related or exe related and honestly I haven't touched the community in 2 months because of that reason until now.
1:19 Xenophane ❌
senophonies✅
The whole ban list controversy was quite silly
You can be creative without using evil hedgehog #1000000000000
We Can Actually Get Access to The Banned Mods Using The Wayback Machine!
(1:45) HEY IT’S MY FRIENDS TWEET LMAO
Finally, i can understand everything.
I'm glad it helped, it was certainly challenging fitting things into a simple light haha :)
Mr. Sandpile and Mr. Deer are watching the new Meta video as we speak!!
The lore expands 😂
THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE! PHEW! THANK GOODNESS SONIC.EXE LIVES
from what i understand, it wasn't even the original creator of Starved and Furnace that put in the request, but whoever owned them at the time (i think it was the same person who made Faker (fake allegations moment) but im not entirely sure, dont take it from me)
Are they still gonna keep the old Modesto that had them? Or are they gonna delete the mods that had them
1:01 my model came so far 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Survivor Tails was untouched
Can you even “own” a character that is literally an augmented character?
Some Friday night funkin mods creators that make their own game characters just don't understand the it needs to be released and not lockdown I feel like the creators putting their own creation on game bananas banlist is going too far people need to Rejoice against and free the characters that's been on the banned list
"Zenahfonees" Lmao
About time, lol.
So far, the only "restored" mods that are well known are the OG Restored from last year, Exeternal, Illegal Instruction, and Re-Run, which recently had a leaked build.
The Last Round is a masterpiece
@@jessicaruizcollazo2372 I just reloaded the page and my comment disappeared so I'm just going to cut to the chase -- Vs. Sonic.Exe Restored (OG) is more superior to the Last Round because of its history, the work being done on it (look on the wiki), and the aforementioned amount of songs which is 130+ (which including the amount of characters they are going to use in the major update and the DLC). So not denying that the Last Round is a masterpiece, but think about which one is more superior here.
Plus, Restored's major update coming out next month as far as I'm aware.
@@josefrembert4457 Your right objectively Restored is superior and there are thing about TLR that I don't like
But I just prefer TLR, however it will probably get Second place when Restored comes out
@@josefrembert4457 Also where did you hear that Restored major update was coming out next month?

What is the longest mode got developed
Thank you for the suggestion!
@@MetateraYT ur welcome
It started with EXE getting cancelled because of Revie, THEN the whole MOD was cancelled cuz of the fact the mod developers didn't enjoy making the mod and putting updates to it but it was restored by other mod creators, THEN Starved and Furnace were cancelled because of how people were using them THEN Sonic.EXE's Xenophanes phase then SL4SH Curse and God Z and you can already guess who's next after hearing "God Z"! Yeah, it's Lord X you are correct. AND BECAUSE OF THE RULES FOR FNF VS SONIC.EXE RESTORED IS GETTING REMOVED AS A WHOLE which means Sonic.EXE is cancelled as a whole.
He does not know what's on the wiki right now.
@@josefrembert4457 What? 🤨
Can someone please tell me what happened to bop and bosip? I still have no idea
It has some of my favorite fnf songs
Unfortunately, the creator of the mod, AmorAltra, was exposed for multiple controversies (kinda complicated with lots of details). There are multiple documentaries about it on CZcams, which I believe talk about it pretty in-depth.
1:07 Yes I like your cat
The Vs. Sonic.EXE mod was banned from GameBanana?! Some people are going to revive the mod!
1:19
I honestly didn’t know it was pronounced like that lol
I wasn’t expecting on the ban list: starved, furnace, xenophanes, lord balls, EXE (faker), god Z and Sl4sh…. I was about to do a Stylized mod of sonic.EXE but I thinks it’s better to cancel it cuz of the news. but Sinister X is not going no where.
I’m sorry I just really just wanna know where you got that broken vessel plush
It's from the site, "Fangamer"! They have a whole Hollow Knight merch section. It's a really cool site for indie stuff :)

im back with the raid shadow legends sponsor!
Ayy ya gotta love the raid sponsor, haha!
No way bro said "Zenaw-fenees" 1:18
Bruh 💀
And THAT'S why twitter scares me
I get trying to ban the original because it's related to someone who's having a big issue atm, that I get.
What I don't stand for is basically banning fan-projects the original creator had little to no part in creating just for being slightly inspired, that is uncalled for!
we NEED a sonic.exe mod that has nothing but original ideas that people within the dev team ONLY can bring to life as an FNF mod. that would be perfect
That sounds like the Fatal Files.
