Fanbias ruling the wiki?

I was content to stay disappointed when I realized the mods/other members/whomever would continue to delete my valid YMMV entries on The Walking Dead, Pokemon, and The Dark Knight Returns. Yet after seeing two entries I previously deleted back on the Nostalgia Critic page, I've decided I'm fed up. My perfectly accurate points about the treatment of Shane's rape attempt of Lori being dismissed and immediately forgotten as well as well as the T Rio trying to vaporize a helpless kid and all his Pokemon AFTER they got what they wanted being a valid example of a MEH, and of course, the disgusting treatment of Selina Kyle(superstar antivillain extraordinaire turned aging prostitute raped by the Joker for shock value) get turned into ether while Unfortunate Implications listings demonizing the Critic for what's essentially a textbook description of the Draco in Leather Pants mindset you find criticized in this very wiki in precisely the same manner, and his disgust at TMZ embracing the age-old obnoxious "two men showing affection or kindness to another are always gay" stereotype, itself a classic example of homophobia as the CRITIC being homophobic. I deleted that garbage(admittedly feeling bad about deleting that point of him saying cross-dressings worse than goat sex and racism...) Here's the deal, you can delete my account, I'm sure you will, but I made valid points, and I want my entries left alone. I won't come back on a different account, and of course this means I won't delete those dumb(save for that one bit) entries on Critics page, even if I did come back, but... I will not tolerate fanbias destroying decent points. Hell, at least there's criticism to be had in the ones I deleted! What right have any of you here to delete decent points because YOU don't like me criticizing works and characters you like? I have my reasons for what I put here, and what I take away. That's fair. I didn't deserve to get edit banned for putting my entry back after it was wrongfully wiped from the page. I think this an opportunity for fairness. Yeah, I was an ass, I don't expect to stay here, but I want my entries to. This is supposed to be a place where valid criticisms, legit points CAN be raised. Not torn apart by fanboys and fangirls. I'm being fair here, I expect you to do the same.

Unfortunate Implications entries need citations. That's why your entries are being removed -they lack the citations. Conversely, you need a good reason to remove YMMV entries which you didn't provide on the Nostalgia Critic's page. Nothing to do with fan bias.

That still doesn't explain the removal of the MEH on Pokemon. In fact, there was another one I didn't write stating one of Meowth's alone, which was also deleted... and it had been there for a long while beforehand. Plus, why edit ban me wen I kept replacing it instead of asking me to include a citation?

Because it was already agreed that the incident with the TR Trio wasn't an example of MEH due to the TR Trio being sympathetic later, which does not a MEH make, and yet you still persisted in putting the TR Trio under MEH.

To note, the fact they keep getting sympathy points and doing heroic things here and there, means they can't cross the line. They definitely do some pretty awful stuff, but they need to actually cross it and stay there to apply to the trope.

They did the crossing, but came back too many times. It's a weird thing with the Anime, but that's what it is.

Nobody here has any bans, either on themselves or any socks, for the record.

Thanks. That said, none the less, the actual trope is misused, which is why it was removed.

Since the questions were answered, requesting a lock.
