🤔 What's your favorite Sonic.Exe character in 2024? 🦔

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.

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.

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?

1:16 “ZENOPHENEEZ” 😂😂😂😂 IM FREAKING *DYING* BRO

the way metatera called "Xenophanes" was not expected, the pronunciation saga is back 😭🤚 *_There's a banlist? Huh didn't knew that._*

Not going to lie, the banlist moments are pretty insane... i'm glad that FNF Gamebanana just reconsider their choice...

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.

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.

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

Wait, THAT'S how Xenophanes is pronounced? I was thinking it would be pronounced as Zee-no-veins

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

Sonic.exe and the word "apocalypse" fit together so well for so many reasons

2:17 "diga bye bye" to lord x

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

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

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!

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?

The new solution sounds more organized. Proper control over permissions.

Crazy Chaos Explained By Our One and Only Metatera! Thanks for the research on this - never knew this stuff

0:01 whats up friday night funkers

The fact it took exe bans for this to happens is saying something

1:41 oh hey look, im there! lmao

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.

5:14, lmao, Bob is forgotten

I was assuming eggman and furnace were banned because of that thing on the news about the Year 6 drawing pictures of them.

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.

3:20 YES!!! Starved, furnace, lord x, and more are back in action!

Im so glad they got rid of of the unfair bans and instead opted for the liscense system

fun fact there was a point on the ban list that NMI and requital were banned but that only lasted like 5 hours

oooo the editing is really nice! i like how you explain everything its very easy to understand and follow very nice

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

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.

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

Well guys, if Gamebanana fails us, we still got Gamejolt

i think revivals are the worst thing happened to sonic.exe especially after the original mod got cancelled

1:48 hey im on the bottom

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.

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.

Good thing SL4SH is back, just in time for the Tetrabraichial sequel too.

I just wish there were more oc mods, we haven't gotten a lotta those since the early days of fnf

1:07 Yes I like your cat

Hopefully this means all the actually original fnf mods get attention : )

still would prefer if people did not use furnace and starved. i banned them for a reason.

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.

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.

Thank *GOD* the Gamebanana Ban list tweaked. I was kinda scared that these characters would die off

the list is now only dedicated to collecting controversial characters, so the Exe and even the MFM characters can be used again :D

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

Most mods now in a nutshell "Wow, cool mod, I wonder what the future of it will be!"

1:01 my model came so far 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

This is so fun to watch

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

Well, I appear to be enlightened in a whole new light with the darkness of Sonic.exe.

"many were disappointed" "do you like my cat"

BRO HE SAID XENOPHANES CORRECTLY this is a w

when you said sonic exe as a whole would disappear from fnf i got outa my chair and started celebrating

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.

Time to trend every gamebanana sonic.exe ban list post

If the ban list gets scrapped or atleast becomes better I'd be fine with that

Mr. Sandpile and Mr. Deer are watching the new Meta video as we speak!!

xenophanis? You mean Xenophanes?

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.

Damn that's crazy, anyways I see that gengar up in the top shelf

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 Vs. Sonic.EXE mod was banned from GameBanana?! Some people are going to revive the mod!

This is a good change

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.

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

THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE! PHEW! THANK GOODNESS SONIC.EXE LIVES

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.

Gamebanana: ok it's gaming time...oh Waaaah? To many sonic.exe MODS!?!? Seems uncreative to me *tweeting*

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)

(1:45) HEY IT’S MY FRIENDS TWEET LMAO

About time, lol.

We Can Actually Get Access to The Banned Mods Using The Wayback Machine!

the ban list creepypasta

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

The whole ban list controversy was quite silly You can be creative without using evil hedgehog #1000000000000

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 really glad that MFM was removed from the banlist because it was one of the og mods

1:19 Xenophane ❌ senophonies✅

Finally, i can understand everything.

Metatera, just wanted to let you know Bosip isn't pronounced with a sh like shallow, it's pronounced with an s like subtle.

1:17 Ah yes, Za-noh-fa-nees.

"Zenahfonees" Lmao

Gamebanana:no reveal mods allowed Me: YOU SON OF A *****

“Zenophonees”

The way he pronounced xenophanes had me dying

So if I wanted to make a mod, are you saying it has to go through gamebanana firts to be playable on the game?

Can someone please tell me what happened to bop and bosip? I still have no idea It has some of my favorite fnf songs

Are they still gonna keep the old Modesto that had them? Or are they gonna delete the mods that had them

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!

Can you even “own” a character that is literally an augmented character?

The ban list almost basically entirely canceled my entire mod Cause xeno is the main thing and I made a lot of animations for him and all of that would be gone

Ze noh fenees? Zee no fanes

Idea for a video What is the longest mode got developed

Survivor Tails was untouched

i'm sorry i was so caught off-guard by that pronounciation of xenophanes- is that how it's actually pronounced? because i've been pronouncing it as 'zeeno-faynes' and not 'zenoh-fa-nees' in my head for like months now :'v
