[[FlameBait Controversial subjects]], such as politics and religion, can and often do lead to {{flame war}}s, [[Administrivia/ConversationInTheMainPage natter]], Administrivia/{{edit war}}s, and Administrivia/{{complaining|AboutShowsYouDontLike}}, none of which are desired by this wiki. Per the Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment, tropes about those subjects are subject to prohibitions against real life examples. Nor do we tolerate Administrivia/{{complaining|AboutShowsYouDontLike}} (or SugarWiki/{{gushing|AboutShowsYouLike}}, for that matter) about things in RealLife, and [[AndThatsTerrible controversy is bad]].

'''NOTE:''' Please consult [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13350380440A15238800 the Real Life section maintenance thread]] if you want to propose adding a trope here.
