Maso Tey: Is it just me, or are the examples on this page running a little off track? The description, so far as I can make it out i think they are clouding my brain with their fluoridated water and mass media disinformation and mind control rays so i cannot comprehend long passages of entertaining but tangentially related faux(?)-speculation refers specifically to the facts that

1. when a character is stated to be schizophrenic, he's usually portrayed as the paranoid type, with the understanding that
2. paranoid schizophrenics tend to be conspiracy theorists. It does not follow that
3. all conspiracy theorists in media are intended to be schizophrenic.

Yet, in light of the description, that's exactly what quite a few of the examples seem to imply. Apparently this was the dumping ground for Conspiracy Theorist examples before Conspiracy Theorist was launched. Now that that void has been filled, the many examples of non-schizophrenic characters (I haven't tallied them up yet, and I'm not sure about some of them, so help here?) need to be moved.

L Guardinal: Woah, can someone familiar with this trope cut down the intro, or at least summarize it? This wall of text is overkill.

Gerkuman: I can't tell if this article is serious or not.

The Bad Wolf: I'm reverting the write up back to the original version, but I'm also creating a Laconic Wiki version of it to deal with the wall of text. I'm also going to edit out all the non-schizophrenia examples.

So It Begins: ....??!?!?!?!??!?!

Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: Someone wants to cut this for being too meta. (I probably didn't help.) So, is this clear under the meta? (I hope so....)

Madrugada: Not really. It's still massively unclear what it's about.

JurassicMosquito: If this trope is about or covers instances where a paranoid schizophrenic, or someone with similar delusions, turned out to have been right all along about Conspiracy X, then we should definitely keep it. I've Seen That Trope A Million Times. If not...what is it about?
