Kicked Out (Phrase)

Being Kicked Out of a community is a punishment given out by the leader of a community that revokes someone's status as a member of said community. This is done for a variety of reasons in the Pokemon gen fanbases ranging from enjoying later-generation Pokemon games to breaking the community's rules and regulations.
== Just why? ==
Look, Do YOU want everyone to think of "Mr. Annoying Boy" when they think of your favorite gen? Do YOU want your favorite community's general public opinion taken over by a bunch of edgy redditors who call you "Entitled" and mass-downvote you because you want to play a decent game? I didn't think so.
A lot of fanbases/fan communities however disregard this and try to build a community without a leader, Which leaves them in a difficult position where redditors infiltrate and aren't disavowed by the fandom. This can lead to cases where the general consensus is something along the lines of "Oh, The Example fanbase is so toxic and cringe. Everyone just spoils everything and liking Example makes people see you as cringe as well." To which there are no fanbase leaders to counter this and kick the bad redditors out of the fandom.
== Okay... What about Genwunners? ==
Grandpa Phil has kicked out thousands of former-Genwunners in the past for a wide variety of reasons. When asked about the non-rule related ones, Grandpa Phil stated that he "Intends on keeping true to the 90's spirit of the [Genwunner] community" by kicking out people for talking about how they think Gen 1 should have had modern features such as the Steel and Fairy types.
== Famous instances in non-Genwunner communities ==
After Mei Lee's attempted takeover of the Gen 2 Fanatic community, Howard DeVille kicked out not only her but all of the Gen 2 Fanatics that sided with her (Roughly 1/3 of the entire community).
During the events of Wrath of the Lich King, Panini's role in the Battle of the Wrathgate brought about major controversy after she betrayed both the heroes and the villains in her attack on the Lich King's forces. This lead to Terrence officially kicking her out of the Genfourmer community.
Following the Bubble Bass Reviews controversy, Bubble Bass was kicked out of the Gensixer community.
== Criticism ==
A lot of people don't like the concept of kicking someone out of a community, Especially a Pokemon fanbase. Common criticisms of the concept include how silly it is and how the kicked-out can still enjoy the game and talk about it in much wider communities like /r/pokemon. However, A lot of these same critics go into Youtube comments sections and say stuff like "As an X, We don't accept Y as our own." so yeah. Checkmate.
