Also, are we going to make this one in-universe only?

Everyone seems to feel it's not an audience reaction in the first place, so there's no need to make it "in-universe".

It's been up for four days. 16-0. Looks pretty ready to call to me.

Page is no longer YMMV tagged. Do we need to move it off of YMMV pages? If so, it'll probably need some cleanup for just when people feel bad for the villain.

We'll in fact need to remove it from YMMV tabs.

Should we move this to Special Efforts now that it's just a wick cleaning?

[up]Nope, that just encourages people to ignore the problem.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

Ok, I've started the back-to-main YMMV move. That said, I am also removing or retroping examples that are just Zero Context or clearly an editor's opinion.

Finished A and B and C.

I did a bunch of random works yesterday, generally the ones I was familiar with. I'm not sure how well I can tackle series I'm not familiar with, but I guess if it lacks context I should just zap it anyway.

I'll get to more in a bit.

Did U-Z though it had already mostly been taken care of already. Parts of T as well.

I will do D-F.

Done. Can someone take care of Doctor Who and Naruto?

Did also H-K.

Did L-N.

And now O-R.

Did T down to U, except for The Hunger Games - someone else will have to take it. Does anybody want to go double check the YMMV pages (I am too tired to do that), or should we close this up?

Nevermind, I did that too.

Crown Description:

It has been argued that the trope is not about viewer sympathy but rather the sendoff that the author gives the villain. This would move it from Audience Reaction to an objective trope if true.
