Yeah, at this point I'm kinda waiting for a mod response more than anything. I am really, really disturbed at how fervent this push to restore the page of an open bigot is, but I'm also not a TV Tropes authority of any kind.
I don't know what's expected as far as mod response goes. I can't be expected to comment to something know I know nothing about. I will say is that there isn't enough support for the page to be revived and I don't see a good reason to do so. If there's bigger discussions that need to be had, then this discussion should be tabled. As the page has been cut, there's nothing to cleanup so I can just lock this this thread if there isn't anything left to do. This isn't the place fight against the page getting and most people seem to support the page stating cut in any case.
EDIT: Actually, I'll go ahead and lock this now as I don't think there's anything left to clean up and as I said, talk about restoring the page shouldn't go here.

Macron's notes
From previous page: Worth pointing out that the Let's Play namespace is being phased out entirely, since a Let's Play is largely not a tropeable genre. The ones that can still count are being folded into Web Video. And I think when it comes to the Critical Drinker, regardless of if he's "alt-right" or not he is still part of that "reactionary" crowd of youtubers, who do often rail against "wokeness" and all that. That does make him less desirable to keep around, though it's worth pointing out this site isn't entirely gonna cut someone based on how much people agree with their politics (Shaun, a prominent "breadtuber" was cut because his videos are just criticism with no real narrative or character to them).
