A pretty clear example of People Sit On Chairs, in my mind; there's no real justification for why we're tracking the name "Roy" in particular ("it sounds a bit like "Royal" is a bit of a stretch, and undoes itself if actual members of royalty are portrayed positively in the same work) , especially since half the examples aren't specific cases of the name "Roy" being presented as inherently evil, since the Roy in question either has redeeming traits or shares his first name with another, less evil Roy from the same work.

There's way too many shoehorned examples here.

Not seeing a narrative convention here, just a group of Roy examples.

Not convinced that this is a trope.

So not a trope.

This could not be any less of a trope if it tried. Cut it.

Main/EvilRoy found in: 32 articles, excluding discussions.

Since January 1, 2012 this article has brought 278 people to the wiki from non-search engine links.


Definitely not thriving. I bet no one has ever searched for this. The inbounds are surprising, though.

Cut, but if the cut is declined due to inbounds, I suppose we could redirect it to Names to Run Away from Really Fast. (Even though that redirect will probably confuse generations of future tropers simply by existing.)

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

Do folks want a "cut" crowner?

Single prop? Or salt vs. cut and redirect?

Cut. Since there's no YKTTW link, it was either 1) made without going through YKTTW at all, 2) rogue launched, or 3) predates the auto-archiving of YKTTW on the discussion page. 3) is enormously unlikely, since that's been around for at least 7 years.

The Wayback machine only has it going back to 2012.

That earliest version is really sad. Half the examples (ignoring ZCE) are called "subversions" because the character is named Roy and isn't evil! [facepalm]

I think we have enough consensus that a crowner would be redundant. No one has even expressed the mildest reservations about cutting this.

Indeed. Calling in favour of cut. And cutting it.

Since the cut's been made, closing.
