It looks like the definition of "glurge" used for Glurge Addict may be broader than the definition used for the main Glurge trope page. When I think Glurge Addict, I think of the elderly aunt who is always forwarding emails (or more recently, sharing social media posts) about angels and sick children. Isn't there another trope for someone who is obsessed with overly-cute things like stuffed animals?

I don't think there is. If not, I feel like there should be. Do you think this trope could be split? Unless there is another cute loving trope, then some of these examples could just be moved.

I'm just confused by the Glurge Addict trope, mainly some of the examples. Glurge itself is a trope I've had a hard time understanding exactly(common for me) but it seems to involve works meant to be inspirational, or heartwarming having dark Unfortunate Implications and the like. Glurge Addict however, seems to me to have very little to do with Glurge. Is this just examples of Square Peg, Round Trope? Or is this really meant to just be fans of super cute things? Some of the examples I'm talking about are like "Little Shop of Horrors has Audrey. She has a stuffed puppy on her bed, and other cute decorations around her room. " and other things that are just about super cute things, and not actual Glurge. Was this the intention? I'm just really confused. Sorry that this ended up being such a mess. I'm not an expert on editing here at all.
