[edit] MAD and M-UNIT
In 2004, the relatively popular chatroom RPG Kokoro, run by BNFs Mew Cherry (now Ellana) and Mew Plum (now Arisa), was well-liked throughout the fandom, though its actual membership was rather small. (A few well known members include Satou, Jisu, Keruri, Masume, and Saica). A small group of fans, however, disliked the game for its popularity and the fact that it had completely rejected many elements of the canon and added new things like a magic system, time-travelling future children and many, many original characters. These four - then known as Ming Yi, Vanilla H, Zakura and Lani - created their own roleplay called M-UNIT, or Mew Union Nocturnal Intelligence Team, specifically to mock Kokoro. The introduction, found on Ming Yi's now-purged LiveJournal of the time, stated that the game was set in the Kokoro universe and emphasized the canon defilement that they thought Kokoro was. The canon characters who were not in play in Kokoro, under M-UNIT's direction, became the drug-addicted, out-of-character Punk!Minto, Goth!Retasu, Drunk!Purin (referring to the common spelling of the character Bu-ling, who is Chinese and has her name written in furigana as Purin) and Prostitute!Zakuro; those who werewere only mentioned as having eventually undid everything that they had done. The introduction also included a highly offensive theme song entitled "Cherries and Plums Sure Are Dumb" (in reference to Kokoro's mod team) that bashed original characters.
The members of M-UNIT are also suspected to be the troll group MAD, who invaded Kokoro's public chatroom and peppered the then-G-rated game's chats with obscene comments. This prompted Kokoro to move to private AIM chats.
Some members of M-UNIT were involved in the Kibou no Kaneoto false hacking scandal (see Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch). Kokoro member Saica (now Ziya) founded the Alliance Against Bashing in retaliation against what they had done but it didn't have much of an influence.
