Page didn't go through Ykttw.: Trolldere

Found this on un-typed pages.

This has only two sentences for the description, and only Five examples. There seems to be no trace of this on Ykttw. The Page history shows archos created the page at 5 o'clock this Morning.

Should we Send this to ykttw, or just cut it entirely?

I'd say cut it, apart from anything else it just duplicates The Gadfly.

Yeah, that's no good. Let's merge it.

The last thing we need is another -dere snowclone.

I Added it to the cutlist.

Looking at this again, I'm not so sure it's a duplicate of The Gadfly. As currently written, a Gadfly is someone who irritates others because they think it serves some larger purpose, while this trope seems to be someone who irritates others as a way of showing affection. So, is it worth splitting off from Tsundere or Slap-Slap-Kiss?

Someone who trolls because she cares for her targets isnt exactly a dere. (If you stretched it I could see Mai from Nichijou being a dere with her rare moments of not trolling and showing she has a heart to Yukko before a large troll happens after.) I would almost call them Lovable Prankster I guess.

Just cut it. If it's a valid trope it can be put through YKTTW. As it stands, it's not a trope, and it's a pointless neologism in the form of a naming convention we're trying to clean up

Yeah, this has nothing to do with the other -deres. At all. That's the real problem with snowclones; people make up new ones without understanding the reasoning behind them.

Cut.
