Cut the real life section: Grandma What Massive Hotness You Have

Go To

I've noticed several other threads on cutting the real life sections out of certain Personal Appearance Tropes so I went ahead and created this one. It seems some tropers love to write about hot celebrites/their celebrity crushes in as many places a possible and this is another example of that. I also think that the media examples should be restricted to ones that are recognised in-universe and we should put a note about this in the description.

Yep, give it the same procedure. These pages tend to make me want lots of Brain Bleach as it is. I don't know why tropers have this urge to "gush" about people they find hot on the internet, but... ew.

I vomited.

Supporting cut of real life section, and that picture also has to go.

Agreed on chopping the Real Life section; the picture itself is ok, but the caption needs to go.

There is no reason for an example section page that's only 320 lines long to devote 180 of them (that's 56%, by the way) to a list of real life people that somebody thinks is hot.

Okay, I cut the real life section and added "No Real Life Examples, Please" to the description. Next we need to decide what to do with the in-media examples so let's keep this discussion open. If we cut all of the examples not recognized in-universe we will be cutting 90%-100% of the examples so we need to think about what to do with this page.

I notice that a lot of the hotness pages that allow non-in-universe examples effectively amount to "Hot People But X." I'm tempted to say all of them should either be reworded to actually have something to say or be cut.

I think the image oughtta have some sort of caption. Like a "Can you believe she's 60?" or something. I mean I don't actually know how old she is in that picture but without any sort of notes I'm left uncertain. I just think the image needs a bit of clarification

90% of the "film" section is just a list of actors. This seems like it needs changing. (Especially since most of them probably started their acting careers long before they became this trope.)

Or, just have real life in Fetish Fuel wiki.

[up]I don't care in the slightest what Fetish Fuel Wiki does, but it's not part of this site, and the problem is here. Just kill the Real Life examples and any other bad examples (i.e. the stuff under Film), give it the No Real Life Examples Please warning, and call it a day. If you really want to bring the examples over to the Fetish Fuel Wiki, then go right ahead - it's none of our business.
