About as close as Lannister twins.

Zap 'em.

Should we be troping Tumblr at all? Most blogs represent real people's real lives, the troping of which is apparently being cut down on, and any roleplay or otherwise tropable blogs can just get their own work page if needed. Plus, the page has a few mentions of certain controversial blog types, which probably goes against the Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgement.

The websites themselves are probably fine, but things like the Moments pages should probably be gotten removed. That's my two cents.

Well, the Coppy entry seems to be valid, so I'm not sure I want to zap the page entirely...

No one's saying we should, we're explicitly talking about cutting the non-Coppy examples.

Well, all the non-Coppy were cut yesterday, courtesy of the OP. Yeah, that stuff is sad, but it's also talking about real people, which is kinda not what we do the last time I checked.

Should we make a page for the "No Troping Real People" policy?

Wait, there was never a page for the "No troping real-life people" policy? Huh, I always assumed there was.

Also @ troping tumblr at all, I think we could trope Tumblr itself, but not go into detail about individual blogs (excluding certain Troll/shitposting blogs)

Yeah, the closest we have to a "No Troping Real People" page is the list of pages where real life examples are banned.

Well, Creator Page Guidelines makes it pretty clear, but it's obviously a rule that extends past creator pages.
