My understanding is that as long as we can cite a third party source calling out UI, then it counts. Yes, it is rather racist, but there are lots of racist people out there making judgment calls like this. We just document the reaction.

But then that's not really a case of this falling under the trope then, is it?

(Not to mention the issues of documenting the opinions of racists as valid examples of critique tropes)

The link also is not working (at least for me), which doesn't help matters.

Isn't UI now Flame Bait? So we can't wick them any longer regardless of citation?

Yes, but if it was valid it'd need to be moved to UnfortunateImplications.Video Games.

Yeah, UI is now flamebait. Remove it.
