Not Tropeworthy: H Game POV Character

While Wiki Walking from the Content Violations forum, I noticed the existence of this trope. It seems restricted to pornographic media, but I'm equally perturbed by its lack of real definition. There are six numbered types, some even broken down further into subtypes, and many seemingly duplicating existing tropes.

This is not a trope, it should be trivia at most. And we are not listing pornographic works so I don't see why this would be useful to keep around (if it was ever useful at all).

Instead, I have learned a horrible truth of existence...some stories have no meaning.

Even if we did collect porn tropes, we wouldn't collect these examples on a page. Instead, we'd put them on the pages for Nice Guy, Troubled, but Cute, Handsome Lech, Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Jerkass and Complete Monster.

Um, as has been discussed at length in Content Violations, H-Game does not automatically equal porn - see the discussions for, e.g., Fate Stay Night.

On the other hand, since we are phasing out tropes with numbered subtypes, Routerie's propsal is probably the way to go.

I agree with Routerie.

This is a collection of tropes that are frequently used in a specific genre of games. At most, it should be in the description/useful notes of said genre, not its own page.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

Why not just cut this and move on?

Cut. This should be on the genre page if it needs to exist at all.

I want to vote for cut as well.

Calling in favor of the merge option. Make it so.

Alright. If anyone wants to check the paragraph I threw in to H-Game, go ahead and do so. Then, I'll change H Game POV Character into a redirect to H-Game and we can be done here.

Redirect is up. I don't see a need to change the wicks, so I think we're done here.

Can we lock this, or is there something that still needs to be done?

I think we're done. Hollering for a lock. Thanks for your work, Dark.
