Fixed a lot of tweaks and renamed some tropes. Also, \"Dethroning Moment of Suck\" and \"Narm\" are Flame Bait, and therefore should not be allowed in this trope. Also, Fetish Fuel examples are no longer allowed; see the Fetish Fuel page for details. \"Hey, It\'s That Guy!\" is already in the Trivia tab.
