What ABOUT the page image? Poison (the bottom character) is incredibly popular in trans communities. Again, I helped PICK the image, so what\'s your point? At present, Poison seems to be a case of MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales; a stereotype of a specific group which is (for one reason or another) actually popular with that group.

And the point isn\'t what YOU consider superficially good. The point is that someone who doesn\'t know any better would THINK it was good, and that some individuals might make the best of it. You keep making the mistake of thinking that giving something the definition of \"positive discrimination\" is calling it objectively good. It is NOT.

Because we\'re going in circles, I\'m going to summarize the issues with your argument in two ways.

# You believe that just because the trope PositiveDiscrimination has \"positive\" in the name that it\'s supposed to be seen as good. As I keep repeatedly saying, that is not true. Read the description of the trope.

# You are disregarding the golden rule of TropesAreTools. Tropes, even if they are historically negative or call attention to a \"flaw\" in a work, cannot be treated as inherently bad on this wiki. We must portray the trope itself as neutral, and only trope any negatives if those negatives are evident in the work itself.
