Go take a look.

So yeah... what to do with it? Burn it? Salvageable? Some are pretty obvious (Hitler, Stalin) others are more... questionable.

Removed a mention of Sarah Palin already.

I suggest No Real Life Examples Please.

[up] What about personal examples, rather than political ones? (Ie. "A pretty girl spread false rumours about me in grade 6" etc...)

That makes her mean, not necessairly evil. There's a reason we discourage RL examples from stuff like Complete Monster. People aren't one dimensional

Any trope with Evil in the title or related to it (like Moral Event Horizon, Complete Monster, etc.) should not have a Troper Tales page, period.

[up] What about RPG examples?

[up]This is yet another reason why we need a separate namespace for accounts from personal RPG campaigns.

[up][up]Gaaaah. If I had a dollar for every time I've seen that as a justification...

...Well, actually, it wouldn't really be that much money. But as this thread has suggested, we really just need to split "emergent works" off from Troper Tales entirely. They aren't really the same thing, anyway.

Edit: ...Which is what the guy above said. @#$% ninjas.

I don't care about RPG Troper Tales, and that's from someone who used to pen and paper constantly. But that's a different topic.

So what about the Real Life section on Evil Is Sexy? I'm presuming we should chop that too?

What's precedent ever done for us?

Ye gods, it has one? Chop it immediately. This is clearly a No Real Life Examples Please page.
