Not a common reason to bring stuff to the repair shops, I know, but I would like to propose to turn Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch into an In Universe Examples Only trope about characters passing judgment on works they haven't read/seen/played, for the following reasons:

The sandbox looks good; [tup] to repurpose it this way.

I haven't looked at the sandbox, but the logic makes sense to me.

Excellent, both concept and execution. [tup] from me on both.

Great work there Septimus. I like your proposal.

I can get behind this.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Seems like the initial reaction is positive. Do we need a crowner to ratify?

Also, I would propose furthermore that the page be unlocked when it has examples added, it makes the growth of the trope easier.

OK, went ahead, put the examples in and did clean the wicks to leave only the In-Universe ones. I'll keep this page watched in case problems arise. I rewrote the description a bit to take out the self-contradicting paragraph and put emphasis on the In-Universe aspect.

Other than a few wicks on locked pages (edit requests submitted) and YMMV tabs where this article was the only entry (they are on the cutlist now), we should be done here.

Thank you, Septimus. I'll lock this up then.
