I have a problem. I noticed in the YMMV page that Anti-Climax Boss is on the list, and even has its YMMV tag, yet many article pages STILL treat Anti-Climax Boss as if it weren't YMMV even though it says it is. I don't get it. Why is Anti-Climax Boss still treated as not YMMV?

You mean the little dot? Do you have any examples? It's entirely possible nobody went and moved the example.

...because some people will treat anything as objective even when it's clearly not?

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

When I copied and pasted "Anti-Climax Boss" on the main tab and clicked "preview", the dot color is red instead of black. It's just that when the "Anti-Climax Boss" link hasn't been moved by the time it is labeled YMMV, it has a dot that is not shown red, whether they made the link a redirect or not. This link is an example of this.

Why is this even subjective? Climax boss=gets lot of buildup. Anticlimax boss=is quickly defeated after much build up. That's objective and that's how it used to be. If there was a problem the wrong examples should have just been removed.

You mean to argue that the guy who goes down in one hit after all that jab about your Drill Dozer not being able to function and an encouraging call from the police is argued not to be an anticlimax boss? Let me tell you the people arguing are wrong.

[up][up]It's a glitch. If the link isn't typed as it is displayed on the YMMV index, it won't get the dot. By that I mean this:

On the YMMV index, Anti-Climax Boss is typed as AntiClimaxBoss in the source code. If you link to it with different capitalization, such as AnticlimaxBoss, the dot will fail to appear.

See this thread.
