Looks like a pedophile trying to normalize their evil got to this page. There's a few references to a "little girl lover" which I guess is pedo slang for child rape. I'll try to hack out all the references but seems discussion is in order for edits that big.

EDIT: Doing some more reading around the wiki and wondering if I'm supposed to flag this for review rather than do the edits myself?

Do you think this trope is related to Seinfeld Is Unfunny? It seems that way to me.

The punctuation of the title is wrong. It should be "Fair for Its Day," not "It's". It's = It is, and Its is possessive. Can that please be fixed?

I cringed when I saw that. I put in a request today, otherwise we might have to take it to the main forum.

I'm still seeing FairForItsDay automatically appearing as "Fair For It's Day" (e.g., on Noble Bigot). Any way to change this?

EDIT: And why, for God's sake, does [[FairForItsDay Fair For Its Day]] still show up as "Fair For It's Day"?

The best workaround I've found for people who cringe when "its" and "it's" are confused is to write it as Fair For Its Day, or a similar split between "Fair" and "For" or "Its" and "Day". Should work until a permanent fix is in place (I've sent a report to the mods, and perhaps I'm not the only one to have done so).

Removed:
  • Further, the "eye for an eye" is very, very widely misunderstood. The full text reads "He who shall cut with the bronze lancet, and cause another to lose his eye, shall lose his own eye in penalty." It was a punishment for medical malpractice.

...because it's not true. The troper's confusing two different laws. Law 196:

  • If a man put out the eye of another man, his eye shall be put out.

Law 218:

  • If a physician make a large incision with the operating knife, and kill him, or open a tumor with the operating knife, and cut out the eye, his hands shall be cut off.
