Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

Better places to ask this type of question (whether something in a work is a valid example of a type of trope) are the Trope Talk forum in general and the Is this an example? thread in particular.
I can't decide if this trope should be considered downplayed, zig-zagged, or something else.
The trope in question is Now Allowed to Hug and the example I want to add involves a character who is obsessed with cleanliness to the point of being repulsed by human contact finally hugging her friend as a show of appreciation. Shortly after this moment she disinfects her entire body in a moment that's played for comedy.
