Apparently, it's on 17 YMMV/ pages. I think they can all be cut.

It's indeed a Flame Bait trope. Torch them all.

I've torched the uses of Periphery Hatedom as examples on the pages listed by the OP. From what I've seen thus far, the other uses have it either potholed, or it's being used In-Universe. I'm leaving the In-Universe uses alone.

Edit: All of the OP's pages may be a bit complainy. Should we trim that?

I need clarification: I thought potholing/sinkholing Flame Bait tropes was also not allowed?

Potholing/sinkholing of Flame Bait is definitely not allowed. I was under the impression that In-Universe examples were allowed, though. As far as I know, In-Universe is acceptable for anything which hasn't been banished to Darth Wiki. But our guidelines aren't entirely clear, so I'm not 100% sure.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

I'll zap any uses of Flame Bait I'll see, then.
