Clear example of Trope Namer Syndrome. I advocate swapping with the redirect.

For the sake of thoroughness, I'll note that a brief perusal of the wicks doesn't seem to suggest misuse, though there is some predictable duplication with Eye Scream and I suspect it may be underused.

So...it isn't being misused. Why does this need a rename again?

Trope Namer Syndrome. Of Clear, Concise, Witty, it doesn't manage the acceptable criterion of 'clear'. The wicks and inbound links are few compared to the commonality of the trope, hence 'underused'.

I'm not sure what a convincing demonstration of "underuse" looks like, but it is more than "I think there is a problem".

Having a Trope Namer is not an automatic reason for renaming. It is a reason if it can be demonstrated that the name is causing problems.

Incidently, I think one reason I never would have used this trope is not the name, but that it would never have occured to me to go looking for a "Character gets shot in the eye" trope, any more than it would have occured to me to look for a "character gets shot in the nose", "character gets shot in the leg" or "character gets shot in the right ring finger".
