One thing I've noticed is that for all how the page for They Might Be Giants claims them to be the unofficial official band of this wiki, there's relatively few people on this site who seem to ever reference them.

I have no hearts. In fairness, my name doesn't show up when you search it up (one of my fanfics does though).

I feel like sometimes a trope can be "downplayed" so much that it's not actually that trope.

I'm reading a fic that uses "nakama" quite a bit and it always reminds me of the time when Nakama was going to renamed into True Companions and a sizeable amount of people really didn't want that.

[up][up] I wasn't in those arguments, but I remember there was significant backlash to "Nakama" being renamed as if the Japanese had a monopoly on found familial bonds or something.

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

Whilst the backlash to that is somewhat silly (I'm laughing at the idea of seeing "Nakama" on a page about Arthurian legends), I think it is an expression of the frustration a consistent part of the base has with the English policy.
