I tried starting a discussion in Trope Repair Shop about this and it was deleted with no explanation given to me. Failing that, I'm going to say it here- this trope strikes me as being far too exploitable for complaining. More than one example on here is from a popular and (Largely) critically lauded work, and I want to know if we're going to come up with actual criteria for works being on here or not.

I feel like Future Diary and Re;Zero will it can be this, the circles that view them as this are fairly small and the majority of people still like those shows.

So, a number of entries (like Anita Blake and Sword of Truth in the Lit section) are censored with a a percent sign for... no reason I can see. Why?

They're Zero Context Examples. They need context as to why they're considered Snark Bait.

I'm surprise I don't see Naruto listed in here.

Is it terribly wrong that the first thing I thought of when I saw the link to this article was "Ooh Ah Ah!"?

Judging by the first sentence on the main page...not at all.

I cant believe prometheus isn't under movie examples.

It seems to qualify by almost every requisite listed IMO.

The imdb board is finally dying down now, but it was a glorious (and very deserved) hate-fest for almost a year after it's release.
