In the eyes of many, 4Kids Entertainment has ruined many anime series, such as Sonic X, Tokyo Mew Mew, Shaman King, One Piece, etc., with pointless and unnecessary edits, and poor choices in voice acting. Even 4Kids's C.E.O., Alfred Kahn, has made several controversial statements, such as "kids today don't read", and "Japan is over".

The actions of 4Kids has caused many Sonic fans and anime fans alike to rant against them on YouTube.

However, in February 2008, several users had their rants removed by 4Kids for "copyright infringement", despite the fact that they did not contain any 4Kids content. Later, in March, one user named RavenCrow89 was banned by 4Kids. RavenCrow had spent nearly 2 years working to get where he was, and 4Kids took it away from him in an instant. His friends have announced that he is never going to return to YouTube.

This is a complete outrage. 4Kids should NOT be silencing fans like this. Editing anime badly is one thing, but destroying someone's hard work is unforgivable. RavenCrow was merely voicing his opinion, and he did not deserve to be banned for that.

4Kids Entertainment must be stopped at all costs.

    • 4kids are just deleting people's channels because they say there is copyright stuff in the video rants but there isn't.

    • I am signing because I would like to help out with this cause. 4kids can not take away our freedom of speech just because we are exposing the evil of their company.

    • what 4kids did to RavenCrow was wrong and unjust. None of his rants had any 4kids content in them and 4kids got him banned for no reason. This just proves that 4kids truly doesn't care for their fans.

    • Al Kahn and 4kids seriously need to be stopped. Personally attacking someone (RavenCrow89) is going entirely too far. We, as Americans, have the right to voice our opinions about whatever we want. It's called Freedom of Speech. It's not fair that Ravencrow and many others are scilenced just because Al Kahn disagrees with them

    • I'm not signing to criticize their dubbing, but more or less to criticize them for the fact that they cannot let youtube users have their free speech! This is an outrage! (Not to mention, the dubbing is still an abomination)

    • What 4kids doing is wrong. You can't take away people's freedom of speech just because they're expressing themselves. I hope 4kids is stopped, they've ruined the Sonic franchise as well as many anime and i am disgusted with everything they have done.

    • 4kids has done more than we know. They are silencing people from expressing their thoughts on 4kids anime and how we as fans ( some of us) want to help 4kids improve. They have also taken jobs away from many people without them knowing, such as Ryan Drummond and everyone else from the original cast. I have totally changed my view on 4kids from liking them to totally disagreeing with everything they are doing.

    • There is a thing called "freedom of speech". Banning people on Youtube for not liking your product is sad.

    • Ravencrow did not deserve this. I know he was a very popular user and the fact 4kids got rid of him just because of his opinion is ridiculous. I thought 4kids really couldnt sink any lower after they slaughtered One Piece. I guess i was wrong. now they must stopped before others will end up suffering Ravencrows fate.

    • 4Kids cannot silence our freedom of speech. We have the right to express our dismay, not letting us speak is just imperical.
