As I've noted in an ATT thread, the trope The Butcher has a pretty unintuitive page organization that makes navigation excessively difficult. I was advised to take this to short term projects.

To wit, it's divided between "Fictional examples used straight", "Fictional examples used ironically", "Video Game "accomplishments"", "Real Life examples who have appeared in fiction", "Other Real Life examples", and "Subversions". Another troper questioned if we should have real life examples at all. I don't see an immediate problem with it, though. The first thing I think is to stop this differentiation between fictional examples and those that are Truth in Television. Second, I don't see a meaningful distinction between "examples used ironically" and "Subversions"; merge those two. The only folder that really seems like a valid Internal Subtrope is "Video game "accomplishments", but seems like it should be a much wider trope than only uses of the player being called 'The Butcher' (unless we have that trope already as something seperate from Red Baron?).

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"
