Anti-Legion movement

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Anti-Legion movement was a succession of movements, factions, and projects in opposition to Legion that principally existed from Canvas 34 to 36. These were sometimes shortened to antilegs.

Significant opposition to Legion was sparked by the Legion-Veil collab of Canvas 34. It led to the creation of the NCR, which created a sign ridiculing Legion, and the Conseil de Guerre, which attempted to raid the collab. Both groups were attacked and thoroughly defeated by Legion. On Canvas 35, the Legion-Veil-CZVLT-YOIB bloc drew enormous criticism for their excessive claims. This led to a claim conflict called the Anglerfish War that pitted Legion and its allies against Simian Sculptors and various antilegs, which included the NCR, War Council, and Nutya factions. The Anglerfish War was fought to a stalemate and ended in a negotiated peace overseen by the newly-formed Legion Diplomatic Corps. It also caused Legion to be more restrained with their claiming and led to the decline of anti-Legion sentiment in general.

However, Legion opposition continued in the form of a coalition called Defiance until the Progs Land Raid of Canvas 36 permanently shattered the movement.

The antileg movement was briefly revived during the Hui-Legion conflict of Canvas 42, when former NCR members supported Hui against the Legion.

The Legion invasion of Canvas 43a led to the formation of a united front, consisting of the League of Factions, Cell Lattice, Tea N' Tea, and (briefly) Woke Cells to resist them. However, this was a different kind of opposition.

Legion met with criticism from their former ally YOIB after they attacked 2ch with LOF help in the Corner War of Canvas 47. This came to nothing as 2ch was later nuked and YOIB quit the site on Canvas 50.
