On the Whole "Unwanted Topic" thing...

I don't know enough about the topic to discuss whether is okay to Trope Rape or not. But I noticed at least one work that got caught up in that. It's called The Rape Of The Lock, according to The Other Wiki it's a "mock-heroic narrative poem" from the 18th Century; I don't really know what it's about, it doesn't appear to be about actual rape, but it has the word on it's title so it gives the "Unwanted Topic" message.

Where I'm going for it's that I don't think it right to censor a work because of a word in it's title. We can rename Tropes, but not works.

It's the Scunthorpe Problem at work until the Fast One hears back from Google.

I'm afraid you'll just have to bear with it for a little while longer.

We know this is an issue. It does not reflect wiki policy but rather an ongoing issue with external censorship. There is no point in discussing it further until we resolve things with Google.
