To be absolutely precise: TV Tropes officially takes certain political stances. Like, say, \\\"no racism\\\". Or abstinence from endorsing any religion. That\\\'s political, though I wonder into which direction such policies \\\"lean\\\" (left or right). But there you have it.
Apart from that: If you think something on the wiki has a bias of any sort (political or not), you can always take initiative to get it removed or changed yourself. Options:
* Rewrite it and leave an edit reason.
* Make a TRS.
* Make a forum thread.
* Make a query on AskTheTropers.
* Or state your criticism on the discussion page to see what others think. But for that to have any sense, you will have to phrase your criticism in a specific (what exactly is wrong?) and constructive (what should be done?) way.
Accusing this site of \\\"dogmas and enforced ideologies\\\" either means that someone cannot identify with TV Tropes official stances like those I named above; OR is testament to the misconception that TV Tropes has some kind of hidden government with a secret agenda that monitors every line of the wiki daily.
However, the content of the wiki is provided by contributors, who may or may not be subject to bias, and if something on the wiki is biased, then it most likely represents the bias of the specific contributor who wrote it.
Accusing \\\"the wiki\\\" of \\\"bias\\\", \\\"dogmas and enforced ideologies\\\" is just ridiculous and childish. If Madcapunlimited would have the page changed, he would either make these changes himself, or actually say what is (in his eyes) wrong. As he does neither (and I bet he won\\\'t), there\\\'s nothing to discuss.
