Located a copy of Ken Park, viewing now. Will vote within the next 2 hours.
In the mean time for the rest of you, here
is the Brows Held High episode on it.

"Polite life will fill you full of cancer." - Iggy Pop "I've seen the future, brother, it is murder." -Leonard CohenVase de Noces is unlocked at this time. Just so you know, as I have removed some Zero Context Examples from there.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanOK, finished with Ken Park, not really any worse than any of the other arthouse films. Gets an angelhead, with possible precautionary lock. Is it bad that when I watch one of them, I usually am more bothered by the cinematography and sound mixing than I am the content of the film itself?
Side note: If restored, needs to be namespaced to Film/.

You actually cut several entirely relevant tropes.
- After the End: The director has implied that the setting is this.
- The Aloner: The protagonist is the sole non-animal character in the film, and possibly the only human alive given the above interpretation.
- But You Screw One Goat: The most well-known scene in the film.
- Le Film Artistique: The film practically embodies this stereotype, from the subject matter's impenetrable weirdness to the cinematography and incredibly slow pacing.
- Mind Screw: Again, lots and lots of (ambiguously meaningful) symbolic imagery.
- Silence Is Golden: There is no dialogue.

No, they were Zero Context Examples.
What is the deal with YMMV.Sweet Movie and Hitomi again?

I simply find it curious that you decided to remove them instead of providing context for them before requesting that the page be locked. Considering the in-depth description on the page and recent discussion of the film, it is fairly easy to find the context for those entries, yet you chose not to do so.
A lack of context in the article does not mean that there is not a reason for the trope being listed there.
The film itself seems to either have been cut or remain up for a vote.

Because the main article was cut, but the YMMV page wasn't, so that one is flagged to get the issue resolved.
It's not presumptuous to assume that you would have read the bulk of the article before editing it; to the contrary, it's common sense. Seeing as most of the context could easily be gleaned from the (unusually lengthy and in-depth) description—most of the listed tropes being used as hypertext there—I found the choice lazy.
Ok, made an edit request for these examples. They are of borderline quality, though.
On Sweet Movie, the Wikipedia page
does not suggest it's porn. The overall impression from GIS is that it's mostly to disgust.
I'll see if I can find a copy; in the mean time, here
is the relevant episode of Brows Held High.
Update: found a copy, watching. Fortunately pre-inebriated.
"Polite life will fill you full of cancer." - Iggy Pop "I've seen the future, brother, it is murder." -Leonard CohenFinished. On thinner ice than the other arthouse films, but still passable. Clean if necessary, and lock.
I wouldn't say that necessarily. Salo was a good film, it was just horrifying.

"Polite life will fill you full of cancer." - Iggy Pop "I've seen the future, brother, it is murder." -Leonard CohenWell, I certainly don't ever want to see Vase De Noces again...
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.Alright, right now, we only have one work on the queue — Hitomi. Why should we consider restoring it?
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.Arha gave reasons here
, more data here
and here
.
A little too much story?
Arha, can you please reanalyze this work (as per Ccoa's questions template)?
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.- When are the sex scenes located?: From perhaps about a third or halfway through all the way to the ending.
- Are they spread out over the game?: Yes.
- How much gameplay is there between sex scenes? : An okay amount of time. It's not as constant in this respect as the above, but quite a bit less play time between scenes as the likes of something I would consider harmless like Shuffle.
- Are they only at the endings?: No.
- How hard do you have to work to get an ending?: There's some effort involved to get the ending you want. There's a considerable amount of playing involved and bad ends and whatnot, but the game helps you keep track of plot branchings.
- Are they in every ending? Every good ending? : More or less.
- Are they spread out over the game?: Yes.
- Are the sex scenes optional via a choice in the menu?: I don't recall there being an option like this.
- Would the story make sense without them with minimal or no rewriting?: No. One of the three main plot lines (they split again later) begins with a rape.
- Are the scenes made up of stills, or are they animated? Stills.
- How explicit are the sex scenes? : Fairly. There's a pretty high amount of sex, including one route that includes high amounts of rape and abuse. To be fair, it's not treated like a good thing.
- Personal opinion: This is kinda borderline. I'd personally recommend cleanup and locking at the very least. I think there's just enough story to say it's not porn, but if we wanted to nuke it I wouldn't mind at all.
I mainly just reposted what I had to say before while changing my opinion about a hair. I think there's an OVA that is basically pure porn.
Thank you, Septimus. Sorry if I sounded harsh there.

Another vote for keeping the examples and locking the page.
