(Character) says yes/no videos

(Character) says yes/no videos are a category of grounding videos made with GoAnimate (or Vyond or its emulators, such as Wrapper: Offline). In the videos, a character that the uploader (usually) likes/dislikes would say yes or no to a subject to something that the uploader or community likes or dislikes, followed by being (un)grounded.

From a community standpoint, the inspiration for the plot was gathered from Caleb the Animator, who had made videos of him saying yes or no to things he liked and disliked, but with no groundings involved. SouthParkComedian then went ahead and made a grounding video out of the subject, causing everyone else in the community to do the exact same thing to no avail, even in 2023 onwards.

No "Says Yes/No" videos! (Why They're VERY Trashy)

 * 1) These videos have absolutely no effort at all put into them, as they are a character (mainly their evil clone, who may or may not prominently exist) stating an opinion and getting grounded for that in the most cliché way possible. They're practically the same concept as "grounded for nothing" videos, which are even worse, because they all use the exact same script and are mean-spirited.
 * 2) Adding to #1: As stated above, these videos are made to show what the uploader likes/dislikes in question, and even then, this is proof that opinions shouldn't be the main priority in life.
 * 3) The character that grounds the one who stated the opinion not only appears out of nowhere without a transition, but they'll shout at the person who will be grounded at max volume, and there is no volume warning at all. Even worse, these videos may do the following for basically no reason:
 * 4) *Make the grounder take up half the screen, sometimes showing just their head
 * 5) *Abuse the video effects, making it impossible to see anything
 * 6) *Use the "baby cry" sound effect for the one grounded, even if they're not a baby
 * 7) *Use the international voices for someone crying, which only makes the video(s) worse
 * 8) *Make neither the one getting grounded, nor the one grounding the person in the title, explain why a subject may be good or bad
 * 9) The Weatherstar clones are notorious for making videos like these, and they'll usually target only dark clones of characters, even if they shouldn't have a dark clone at all (i.e: Dark (Ice) Princess/Peach, Shadow Queen Daisy/Rosalina, Dark Mario (and not the Super Paper Mario kind), the virtual viruses which are clones of Dark Bowser, and more).
 * 10) *Because of the dark clones being grounded for these, the character who grounds them are usually their non-dark counterparts instead of someone who could've fit the role better. The creator of the video could've worked.
 * 11) *Some of the recolors made by these clones have eyebleeding color schemes which can blend in with the effect spam in the video.
 * 12) *The exclamation mark placed above the character who's about to be grounded because the creator couldn't be bothered to make them look properly shocked. That unnecessary thing doesn't need explaining.
 * 13) Massive hypocrisy can come from these videos, because the community is obsessed with opinions along with taking them really seriously, but they make videos like these, and may react in the exact same way as the grounding video when their opinion is disrespected or if they don't know how to (properly) respect people's opinions.
 * 14) Like the grounded for nothing videos, these videos can be shorter than the intro of a video used by an uploader.
 * 15) This promotes troll feeding because some of the videos can be of (now dissolved) troll clubs such as the UTTP or THDTC.
 * 16) The videos can be used to cyberbully other users, because some of them may be made after controversial people such as Roku Kun, PaperLuigi, and Abiuth Flores. Even if users claim that they deserve such treatments, they may be unaware that their actions are against the community guidelines.
 * 17) They go against the meanings of "entitled to one's opinion" and "freedom of speech".
 * 18) The videos mainly point out obvious opinions from characters (such as Mario characters and enemies), users (controversial or popular/overrated), or random things on websites or social media (such as copyright strikes).
 * 19) *Strangely, the creators haven't made these videos on the following subjects:
 * 20) **Plagiarism
 * 21) **The community
 * 22) **Grounding videos (and most of its subsidiaries)
 * 23) **Criticism
 * 24) **Making "says yes/no" videos
 * 25) **GoAnimate/Vyond-styled rants/salutes
 * 26) The character that grounds the one in the title states the obvious almost every time. One of the examples has a dark bootleg princess saying "yes injuries", and the non-dark bootleg princess ends up saying "it's an instance of being injured".
 * 27) Sometimes, ungrounding videos are made from these, and they're basically identical to the grounding versions of them but they're very boring and pointless to sit through, because the character who speaks ends up receiving an undeserved ungrounding.
 * 28) Some of these videos include a punishment day at the end, which only pads out the video.
 * Or, they could get arrested. Yes, they can get arrested just for stating an opinion. Emmanuel Thomas (aka James) does this way too often with his Evil Horse videos.

Yes, this Redeeming Quality (the only one)!

 * 1) Some of these videos may be quiet, but the odds of this are very rare to come across. The thumbnail is from a lost (deleted/privated) video made by AzureMidnightGemstoneDude involving a character saying "yes game overs", and that didn't abuse the volume setting.

Examples of obvious things that the community likes (videos would normally be "no [subject]")

 * Any popular video game franchise, especially Mario and Sonic
 * Any lighthearted childhood cartoon, such as Looney Tunes and shows from Cartoon Network
 * Any user that the community thinks is good, even if they're controversial (i.e: Weatherstar, Michael the W:O Guy, Brendan Barney, etc.)
 * The hatebase/hatedom of a criminal

Examples of obvious things that the community dislikes (videos would normally be "yes [subject]")

 * Child abuse
 * Trolls (Weatherstar Sucks ASS), sockpuppets (Shamrock), and criminals (RainBoy and Wilson Perez), along with supporting them
 * Punishment days
 * Lying
 * Baby shows (Dora, Caillou, Little Bill, etc.)
 * Movies that aren't appropriate (such as Sausage Party)
 * GoAnimate rip-offs (even though they may use LVM clones, such as Wrapper: Offline)
 * Bad/controversial countries (North Korea, Russia, Iraq, etc.)
 * The hatebase/hatedom of a favorite user, even if they deserve it
 * A criminal's actions, such as terrorism, pedophilia, racism (like the n-word), vandalism, etc.
 * Controversial users, as stated above
 * Horrible diseases (COVID-19, Ebola, cancer, heart attacks, Malaria, etc.)
 * Heartbreaking moments in history (9/11, both World Wars)
 * Menaces to society (Hitler, Stalin, Satan)
 * Game glitches (such as freezes/crashes, unless done intentionally?)
