Er, ~Khantalas, please don't just assert that there is a misuse problem. Show it, through a Wick Check or something. Please.

As it currently stands, the description of Freakiness Shame is about a character feeling shame about an unusual physical trait because it marks them as "abnormal". However, both various examples on the page and several wicks leading to the page use the name Freakiness Shame solely in context of another character (or in some cases, the audience) not finding the physical trait abnormal, or even considering it attractive without mentioning the Shame part, which both isn't the full extent of this trope and cannot be gleaned from the name alone.
This seems to be a result of an earlier rename of the trope from But Your Wings Are Beautiful. Currently, the closest thing we have to what the former name implies is Freaky Is Cool, but it doesn't exactly cover the same trope, and simply transferring all faulty examples and wicks for Freakiness Shame to Freaky Is Cool might result in misuse of that trope, so this might need addressing.
