Eddie cut "Keep Abreast of this Index", and I can't disagree too much due to its inherent focus on Explicit Content. Yet most of those tropes do involve part of the anatomy (save for stuff like Fur Bikini, which is covered in Costume Tropes), so we could still put them on Anatomy Tropes. We just need to get the cache for the page, and move the fitting tropes on the list.

Also, I propose we also list the tropes on Nothing Butt an Index, in case it also gets cut.

List of tropes that were on KAOTI (no links).

I guess we start going through and putting them all on Anatomy Tropes. I agree that the index is no great loss. Do we want them all there (except ones like Chainmail Bikini), or only those with no other index?

Those that have to do specifically with breasts, as those are part of the anatomy. Chainmail Bikini and Fur Bikini are clothing, so wouldn't fit. What other indexes they are on doesn't matter.

I still have a hard time wrapping my head around how someone's tit size constitutes a storytelling mechanic. It isn't like the tropes serve any sort of literary function beyond gushing about breasts.

It can inform characters over how they react, and some cases can even drive the plot.

They should all be cut, not just the index. Some of the things in the Antony Tropes index are potentially useful: Things such as the eye color (Okay, to my knowledge, pretty often seen in anime) to possibly indicate a the morality or persona or something else of a character, and this is just one example, but a case nonetheless; there are many others like the wings (cape, growing, feather motif) and smiles (perpetual frowner, broken smile) and others). But breasts, chainmail bikinis, biting breasts, jiggle show, triple nipple (classy), and all of the others? Please explain to me what purpose they have in a work beyond arousal. And I'm not talking about stuff like "cavemen wearing fur bikinis" I mean actual worth, like motifs or symbols. Chances are, anything that uses something explicitly for arousal*

How much of that is even filed under fan service anyway?

, is not worth much in telling a story.

This thread deals with indexing. Don't make it stealth TRS.

All right, then where would they even go? Things like fur bikini can at least go under the costumes area, but the rest of it is just breasts, so they all just get transferred to the miscellaneous section?

Breasts are part of the anatomy. If a trope directly deals with them, then it should be listed in Anatomy Tropes. Simple as that.

You know, I would think that FE deleting the index would be a pretty good indication that he doesn't want this to occur again.

I mean, half the tropes are "X has big boobs and wears different things with said boobs and did I mention I like boobs because I like boobs." Hell, I'd guess that almost all of these tropes are just debris from the whole Fetish Fuel fiasco. Say what you want, but trying to revive it will inevitably fall to "This Troper" videos.

Mention one trope which can be legitimately have an example that reads any way like "X has big boobs and wears different things with said boobs".

If folks wanna take this to TRS, I'll mount a spirited defense of boob tropes.

Noticeable Nipples. Well, it's not about big boobs, but similar non-tropeworthiness. Anyways Torquey if you see any other ridiculous article just take them to TRS. We already got rid of Boob Bite.

I'm pretty sure "Keep Abreast of this Index" wasn't solely about big breasts, so why focus that aspect?

That's in TRS for the very fact it's been defined less-than-ideally. My guess is it'll become the male-only-nipples-instead-of-boobs sister trope of Gag Boobs.

No, it's in TRS because it doesn't make sense as a trope. It can become something else after taking a trip to YKTTW though.
