No matter what your intentions were when you made a work, poor reception and bad publicity affects the context in which people see it, and your work will not be seen how you intend it but instead become a political or topical football.

The studio toned down the special effects from that point forward and banned the episode, as well as effectively banning Porygon from ever appearing again (despite the whole incident technically being the fault of Ash's Pikachu..). Several American TV affiliates also refused to carry the show initially, though they quickly reversed their position when it took off. So while it got a lot of free press, the show still suffered for the backlash early on.

In a slight inversion of this trope, no major studio has attempted a mass release of an NC- 1. DVD releases for the film to show a profit, regardless of the cult success.
