If something falls under Just for Fun... it goes in Just for Fun.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.
^ Which, come to think of it, this page IS. (Check the indices.)
That's me.
Except it's not in the Just for Fun namespace... that's just odd.

It can't be in the Just for Fun namespace and the Playing With namespace at the same time. And I think the latter takes precedence in this case.
That's me.
Just for Fun items go in the Just for Fun namespace. Seems like a random user added this to that index without any discussion.

The problem with putting this page in the other namespace is that this page is in the style of a Playing With page, and changing the namespace would obfuscate that.
That's me.
Y'know, it occurs to me that we could play with the actual purpose of the page. For example:
Basic Trope: Something that happens all the time is called a trope.
- Straight: Alice suggests "People Watch TV" as a trope.
- Exaggerated: Alice makes a long list of ordinary activities, sprinkled with declarations of How Did We Miss This One.
- Justified: Alice is new to TV Tropes, and isn't quite sure what a trope is.
- Inverted: ???
- Subverted: After a back-and-forth in the YKTTW comments, it becomes obvious that Alice has a tropeable idea in mind, but worded it badly.
- Double Subverted: After it gets launched, it gets subject to severe Trope Decay that undermines the specificity.
- Parodied: Alice makes a humorous writeup of the "People Watch TV" 'trope' on the forum.
- Deconstructed: ???
- Reconstructed: ???
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: ???
- Enforced: Alice is a troll.
- Lampshaded: "I know this shows up a lot, but..."
- Invoked: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
True. I found the literal version of this trope quite fun to play with, though. Is there any way we could accommodate both?
That's me.
And if you're wondering about Inverted, take a peek at this YKTTW
.
How's that for an Exploited Trope?
But soft! What rock through yonder window breaks? It is a brick! And Juliet is out cold.
Please start a new topic of discussion if you're going to change the subject. That's what the "add a new topic" button below is for.
That's me.
I wonder if something like "Alice writes a story about a town where sitting on chairs is considered bad etiquette" (and so effectively giving a meaning to PSOC) would count as an inversion of the figurative PSOC.
I don't think this page was cutlisted for anything resembling a good reason. The literal side of it probably falls under Just for Fun, and is an excellent illustration of the various methods of Playing with a Trope to boot, while the figurative side does a pretty good job of playing with something that allegedly can't be played with.
And on a sidenote, it says on the cutlist to "click the wait button" in order to challenge a deletion, but I haven't found any wait button, just a "see discussion" button.
