Crown Description:
Unacceptable Targets is a YMMV item about some people, works, etc. being in a status where making fun of them is frowned upon and doing so anyway will result in major backlash. However, the majority of examples read as something along the lines of "you can't make fun of this, or else", which only covers the first half of the trope. This is probably because that the name only indicates that part. Additionally, there's a lot of overlapping tropes.
