Important note: opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and all of them stink. YMMV tropes are not for documented every opinion that anyone ever has about the show. They're for recording large-scale, documented fandom reactions. A lot of people need to think Blake's a shit over this in order to qualify for the trope. Given that this isn't one of the split-fandom tropes like Broken Base, I would say most fans need to be.

Alright, but then you have to do a lot more than just that entry. There are plenty of uncited, unnotable entries on YMMV.

And how are we going to determine "widespread audience reaction." There are maybe 6-8 of us here. Not to be rude, and to be fair there are people who add tropes but never post in this thread, but who is going to determine what's a general opinion of the fandom? Me? You?

If you're going to remove that entry because you think it's not widespread, what's stopping me from removing the examples like Acceptable Targets, Alternative Character Interpretation, or Arc Fatigue?

You've pretty much hit upon why the YMMV tropes are a Wretched Hive of trope misuse and complaining that are next to impossible to clean up and more frequently get people banned than any other part of our site.

It is really hard to accurately document fandom consensuses and a lot of tropes and/or examples listed on a lot of pages need to be cut.

Didn't one YMMV page list one trope as YMMV because there was so much debate over whether or not it even fit the show?

I mean, I'm not arguing, opinions are assholes.

But if there was an Asshole Victim entry that said "Adam, who is basically on Cinder's leash, is an asshole abuser edgelord poser and the entire fanbase knows it," would we be having this conversation? :p

Yes, because that isn't YMMV. Adam is supposed to be an asshole abuser edgelord poser. Furthermore, the example text does not properly explain how Adam is presented as an asshole, an abuser, an edgelord, and/or a poser so it's a Zero Context Example. tongue

Okay, admittedly a bad example. How about this:

Screw that, Gold is amazing and a lot of people on here agree that it isn't sickeningly sweet. I'm removing this example right now.

  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character:
    • Team SSSN: The story granted half of its members, Sun and Neptune, enough time to introduce them as characters but their relevance to the story was overall minor. The other half, Sage and Scarlet, barely managed to get a single appearance in the Vytal Festival Tournament. It doesn't help how they were portrayed in two openings alongside the main cast thus suggesting their major roles in the story which turned out to be non existent. This is made more apparent by commentary in the post-Volume 3 livestream where it was revealed that originally Sun and Neptune were supposed to fight Pyrrha and Nora for their doubles round and get soundly beaten, a scene that was reportedly cut due to time constraints and lack of plot significance.

Bullshit, SSSN is a great team and they have a ton of fanart. Clearly there's a decent portion of fans who enjoy these characters! Who vouched for this entry? Cue edit-warring.

I am pretty sure the site's official policy leans more toward the side of "YOU can't decide what doesn't fit YMMV" which is why the misuse is so frequent.

And, as Soble outlined above, the opposite extreme makes it too easy to just cut anything.

The wiki is a poorly managed shithole IMO

Umm admittedly still new on this tropes thing.But does concern anyone esle that a entry that has been up since V3 ended is only now being discussed

I know the YMMV page is a bit opinion based.But I though it was customary to a least discuss something somewhere before putting it up.

haha, nope.

That's how the wiki works - individuals throw up whatever shit they feel like and it's only when someone else notices that something is done about it.

Back from work:

Had an OC who's semblance was density shifting. One thing I had him do was hop into a locker, fly up up real high and jump out 'fore going real heavy.
That reminds me of the OC with the Gravity Semblance I had come up with. At one point he overdid his Semblance.... and ended up making someone a Twinkle in the Sky [lol]

As far as I know they haven't said. -glares at Black Sun Nocturne- Have they?
Oi, what's with the glare? And they said the Time Skip was "six to eight months".

..Wow..now I see why Soble shits on the page so much.

Shame to. Since people may still be using the page to get a sense of what the geneal viewship feels.

Geez why on earth spend so much time talking about YMMV when you could be talking about, y'know, the fact that RWBY Volume 4 is coming out soon or some shit?

There's two bombs that I'm waiting to be dropped; 1) Adam finds out that Blake became friends with the heiress of the Shnee oppressors, and 2) Weiss's family finds out she became friends with a White Fang terrorist.

I'm betting the fallout from both will be very entertaining to see.
