Linking to a past Trope Repair Shop thread that dealt with this page: Um... Why is this subjective?

This is currently classified as a YMMV item, but its description is still written as though it were considered a trope.
A) It directly refers to it as a a trope.
B) It refers to ways in which it can be played with, such as Deconstructing it
C) It has a pothole to Tropes Are Tools in it.
Should something be done about this?

It's a YMMV trope - trope, but hard to tell whether it was used or not.

Someone should add that "Many people who repress emotion displaying a lack of angst for long periods of time will still have all that angst buried somewhere inside ready to explode. This is why the straw can break the camels back."
Why is this marked subjective? It's not; a character has no angst when they should. I mean, I understand why the other end of the scale is subjective, but why this one?

Seems pretty subjective to me. Where is the line between caring too much and not enough? Plus if you're already suffering from hype aversion you're more likely to inflate minor incidents of this trope (and Wangst) to be a bigger deal than they are.
I don't know. It just seems to be more of an actual emotional state (the character may have too much of an iron will and optimistic outlook to not give in). It doesn't mean they don't feel any angst; they may just choose to focus on the here and now, since thinking too much about the pain would bring their spirits down.
I've removed this example:
- Alan Scott's boyfriend Sam is Stuffed In A Fridge, and despite Alan's Tragic Keepsake, shows no remorse over his lover's death. After proposing to him.
Everything's going to be okay!
About the page picture, most of it is perfectly readable, except for the second-to-last panel. Can anyone explain what it says, or possibly fix the image to make it easier to see?

Somebody must have removed it. I never saw it, though, so I don't know.
Shouldn't it be "Angst? What Angst?" Or even just a comma. I had to read a bit before I understood the title.

If it wasn't such before, it is now, apparently. Unless you were referring to something else, of course.
How do I avert this without getting into Wangst territory?
