About a year ago, the quote on Bored with Insanity was unilaterally changed from:

"At first, I went mad, of course. But after a few millennia, I got bored with that, too, and went sane. Very sane."
Paradox, Ben 10: Alien Force

to:

Lenore: You've gone mad!
Hector: I've been mad. This doesn't feel like that. Maybe I've gone sane.

I think the original works better for the trope.

[up] I agree, revert.

[up][up] I'll pull the quote and move it to Quotes.Sadly Mythtaken.

[up][up][up][up] I think that's fine. Nothing in the description says that they have to actually be orgasming (literally or symbolically), just really enjoying the food. Either it's a poor trope name or it's a poor description, but for now that's probably fine to keep.

[up] The description does say that they need to get at least sexual pleasure from the food.

The quote for Beast and Beauty was changed seemingly without any discussion

The current one:

"It's no use. She's so beautiful, and I'm so...well, look at me!"
The Beast, Beauty And The Beast

The previous one:

"As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a beast?"

Personally, I find the previous one a bit better (sounds more poetic and a bit more explicit), although they're more or less the same, and from the same movie

Okay, so Alice likes pie. In fact, it's her Trademark Favorite Food. Thing is, when she eats it, she seems to derive a more-than-culinary pleasure from the experience. For her, this food is Orgasmically Delicious. If watching Alice eat said food is sexy, then it overlaps with Erotic Eating.

Is that implication not enough?

[up][up] That's certainly the implication as I read it too. If it's not supposed to be the implication, there's a case for reviewing the trope description (or possibly going down the TRS route).

And if there is a sexual implication, it does feel inappropriate to list examples involving kids.

This trope needs TRS if only because this trope does happen in kids media... WAIT! I will explain. This is because kids media does have moments where minors do eat and gush about the food they just tasted in superlative terms and this is the closest trope we have to that. Like Delicious Party Precure does this, Ran always gushes about the food she's eating in ridiculously superlative terms. We should either create a new trope that doesnt sexualize minors by just including them or rework the trope. If we create a new one. Like Superlative Food Gushing (Since many times the characters are gushing about what they ate)

[up][up][up][up][up] i prefer the old quote as well

[up] honestly Orgasmically Delicious as currently defined could probably just be merged with Erotic Eating since they overlap nine times out of ten. then we could make a new trope about non-sexual gushing about food, like you mentioned

That actually wont solve anything. It's just the same since we dont want examples about minors on tropes with the words Erotic or Orgasmic in it.

EDIT: Oops I saw that you actually agreed with me nevermind.

Partially reposting.

Can YouTube comments be allowed for page quotes? If so, when noting who "said" it, do you type the user's name or can we just put "A YouTube Commentor" (or something like that)? I just want to be sure.

i would put the commenter's name, since we do that for quotes from other sites like tumblr (i.e. Non-Human Lover Reveal)

Page quote on ComicBook.The Incredible Hulk is:

"HULK SMASH!"
Hulk

That's a chained pothole/sinkhole:
[[CatchPhrase HULK]] [[HulkingOut SMASH!]]

My understanding is that page quotes shouldn't have links at all, so delete both but leave the quote as is?

To solve the image/quote duplication on Monster.Anime And Manga, it’s been decided to make the current quote the caption and add one of these two as the new quote.

"Gentlemen, all I ask for is war. War so grand as to make Hell itself tremble. Gentlemen, I ask you as fellow brothers in arms what is it that you really want? Do you wish for further war as I do? Do you wish for a merciless, bloody war? A war whose fury is built with iron and lightning and fire? Do you ask for war to sweep in like a tempest leaving not even ravens to scavenge from this Earth!?"
The Major, Hellsing

"I offer humankind a new world! I will render their high-tech weapons useless, and at the same time destroy their power plants and communication channels. I will take their light and pull out their claws. And before they are able to react and restore their old ways, I will send them my children. To France, Japan, China, Russia, Australia, the USA. In my world, the people will live in agony and fear. A wonderful vision, isn't it?"
Zeus, King of Thorn.

I lean towards the Major one personally. Thoughts?

The Major one sounds eviler to me by itself, so I'm leaning on that one.

The page quote on Asian Airhead doesn't really incorporate the "Asian" aspect much. I mean we can tell from her surname in the attribution she's Chinese, but it's not relevant in the quote.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
