Yuck. We can document fetishy-stuff without making everything that vaguely resembles it an example.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Well, there are undoubtedly actual examples; otherwise it wouldn't be considered a genre. But like Moe, our examples seem to have decayed to anything that even vaguely resembles it, rather than deliberate usage.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Gore is not necessarily a component, and Ryona is pretty much about seeing female characters getting the shit kicked out of them by male characters.
I don't think this is an actual trope used in fiction, its a fetish.
Edit: Not to say that there isn't Ryona that is also Gorn, look at Ryona vids for the new Mortal Kombat game (or, don't, actually. Really.)

Well then, I'd say do an Example Sectionectomy and keep the article as an example of fanspeak.

This is a joke, right?
I restored it, although cutting the examples would probably still be a good idea.
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.The article begins with "Ryona is a kind of fetish video found usually on You Tube". That implies actual videos on You Tube would be the examples, not the media they're drawn from.
However: if these videos are just anthologies of clips circulated by people sharing a fetish, then they aren't tropeable. We're a wiki about storytelling. A bunch of disconnected scenes meant to appeal to a certain fetish isn't a story any more than a slide show of images of cute kittens is.
Voting for the cutlist.

Tropes aren't just things that occur in fiction. They're devices used to produce a specific effect in a narrative, with meaningful patterns of use.
"Women getting beat up by men" is something that happens in fiction for a variety of reasons; so is People Sitting On Chairs.
If the trope is "women getting beat up by men for the sexual gratification of the audience", then the article needs to be retooled. At that point, the article is about something much, much larger than anime and video game fetish videos on You Tube, to the point where using the name is misleading. (Also, that article would need to be be exampleless, as every single example would be controversial without a statement of author intent).
Personally, I'm thinking that if you need to cut the examples, the name, and the description in order to make the trope work, it belongs in YKTTW.

What would be the best way to fix the page?

A lot of examples aren't works that intentionally sexualize violence against women but rather works from with someone with a ryona fetish can get their fix from.
