Is Sandbox.Jailbait Taboo ready to go or do we still need to work on its content or title?

I don't think all the examples are sorted yet because doing so pre-crowner was cart before horse.

Do we have to do a name crowner now or is Jailbait Taboo fine? Or is it Jail Bait Taboo?

It looks like the wicks on Sandbox.Jail Bait Wicks were largely sorted but these on Main.Jail Bait weren't. Imma go and cut the former sandbox page.

I made some edits to Sandbox.Jailbait Taboo to better reflect the trope's usage and based on comments. In particular I felt that the first paragraph didn't really get to the point. Take a look.

Second paragraph: Did you mean prosecuted rather than persecuted? (If the consequences are social rather than legal, "persecuted" may also be true, though it generally carries the connotation that the pressure is unwarranted.)

Rewrote it a little bit more. Do we want to have a name crowner or is Jailbait Taboo enough?

I saw no disagreement with Jailbait Taboo.

I think we can go with it.

I've gone with it, now all what's left is to disambiguate the Jail Bait wicks.

Note that per the comment here I've removed the trope from Always Female. I've left the new one on No Real Life Examples, Please!, since the old trope was and I don't think Real Life examples are a good idea.

[up] Agreed on having the new trope be NRLEP. RL examples will be nothing but trouble.

Looks like I've succeeded at disambiguating everything. Further discussion on NRLEP status can occur in the NRLEP thread, so closing here.
