Might it be some play of Acceptable Targets? Maybe Exploit?
Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576By the trope's definition, that's misuse. It's not about what one person considers Acceptable Targets.
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry PratchettTo quote another Youtuber about Sword Art Online:
"By now it's no secret that Sword Art Online is terrible. It is so terrible that the fact that 'The Fact That It's Terrible is a Meme' is a meme."
Not trying to argue for either side here, but my general impression of SAO (as someone who's never watched the show) is that it's pretty well established as being terrible, but still popular.

Digibro's page lists under Acceptable Targets several shows that he has lambasted in his videos. I feel that this is an abuse of the trope; it refers to subjects that are safe to mock because the audience is assumed to agree. But Digibro knows plenty of viewers disagree and his entire purpose is to explain why he thinks they're bad. They are not "acceptable" targets, they're his targets. (Also, it's YMMV, but it's objective that he dislikes them.)
I know the treatment of semi-fictional online personas such as Digibro is a thorny issue on this wiki, but deleting these as misuse seems tome straightforward.
