The trope title is misleading and has led to a lot of Square Peg Round Trope. To quote from the aforementioned page:

"Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped refers to when a story has an Anvilicious message, but the story actually works better because it's so blatant. Due to the misleading title, it's often used to say 'any message I agree with that was done in an Anvilicious manner.' Sometimes, even when the message was well-written instead of being Anvilicious."

So, in a way, I do believe a rename is in order.

Sorry, but we'll need a lot more evidence of such misuse before I can approve a thread here.
