Television Is Trying To Kill Us

Can we include Nutritional Nightmare to Television Is Trying to Kill Us? A lot of people can get heart attacks from eating this type of unhealthy food without eating.

Huggy, Huggy Hippos: Mosquito-borne disease aside, hippos kill more people than any other animal does in Africa. They are more territorial than anything and deal catastrophic damage with bites consisting of bowling-pin-sized teeth. Due to their aggression and strength, even the likes of the King of Beasts have good reason to steer clear of them.

Occidental Otaku: Has lead to many cases of racialized violence up to and including sexual assault against people of Asian descent, Japanese in particular, by extreme cases of "weeaboos".

That’s a bit of a stretch.

I mean, it’s a parody of those kinds of people.

There may be other tropes that play into that, like Asian Hooker Stereotype. Which actually gives me another idea:

• Asian Hooker Stereotype: Sex tourism in Asia contributes to the fetishization and sexual harassment of Asian women, including high rates of human trafficking.
• Happy-Ending Massage: Many undercover brothels masquerading as spas use workers from human trafficking operations, making the ordeal a lot less attractive. Even when that isn't the case, the stereotype contributes to distrust and stigma against massage parlors (especially those employing Asian women), and in at least one instance, the stigma led to violent attacks on said establishments.

Not autocorrect, just muscle memory of typing "brothers" more often I guess. Edited.

Was brothels changed to brothers because of auto correct? Looks fine otherwise.

Is Television Is Trying to Kill Us still needed?

I’d suggest unlocking the main page.

Given the problems that page had pre-lock, I'd be inclined to oppose that idea.

Do we add new approved examples to that sandbox? Cuz my above entries that were said to look fine aren't on there or the main page.

Nobody adds anything to a locked page unless they are a moderator acting independently or if there is a request in the locked pages thread. Adding stuff to a sandbox won't do anything on their own.

I know that but the sandbox also says not to add examples.

Since this cleanup is ongoing (along with some new examples in the main page in the last year), may I specify that we're to "only write examples found on the main page" instead of "no new examples, even if they're on the main page", on the top of the sandbox, please? There are several examples new to the main page that I want to help sort into the sandbox's categories.
