why did that mod lock the discussion so fast
the complaint wasn't just that the poster "didn't like it" it was a clear explanation of why the name is confusing and misleading

It really does. I know what it is when I see it, but that's after having to double-check the first half-dozen times.

This appears to be a character-named trope, like The Libby. A name that is more likely to be recognizable to people who don't know the song would probably be a positive move.

I'll probably try to do one again at some point. The trope name is incredibly misleading.
