Yes, it's supposed to be an objective trope. No, that did not stop subjective entries. It can be hard to tell which posts are valid if you don't recognize the story in question, so I think we'll need to have more than one person clean up the page, unless we axe the examples entirely.

That's Feo . . . He's a disgusting, mysoginistic, paedophilic asshat who moonlights as a shitty writer—Something Awful

Oh, dear god. That's such a mess.

If it's supposed to be objective, why is the last sentence, "Of course, interpretations will vary and may be wrong..."?

That's got to be contributing to misuse, especially since it's the last thing you read before getting into the examples.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

Author Tract: the entire universe and characters have been created to put forward the author's viewpoint.

Writer on Board: an existing fictional universe or character has been altered to create a medium for a tract.
