Yeah, we already decided to keep the name. I'm pretty sure the only thing that's keeping this thread open is example cleanup, though I don't know how far along that is or what the cleanup's scope is (aside from enforcing the No Recent Examples, Please! restriction this thread added).

I suppose we could start looking at the on-page examples.

(I personally hate working with YMMV/Trivia, so I've been hesitant to start stuff on this thread.)

Namra, I want progress too, but passive-aggressively bumping and asking for things to happen isn't exactly conducive to, well, progress happening. If you poke around the other threads and see who does work to close them, you'll see that the regulars tend to be stretched thin. If you want this thread to move, why not do some work on it?

This entry on Web Original is extremely popcorny:

    Entry in question 
  • Bryant Moreland, commonly known by his username EDP445, was known for his abrasive personality, love of the Philadelphia Eagles, and videos of him clogging toilets at Chipotle and telling his outlandish stories about pooping himself in high school and his depraved masturbatory fantasies. Despite his risque content, he garnered a strong legion of fans who spread his likeness in the form of memes and shock videos, and he also got a role on the popular Comedy Central show Tosh.0. Starting in summer and fall of 2020, Moreland would have allegations of inappropriate conversations with underage girls leveled against him, which he firmly and repeatedly denied. A majority of his fans supported him, yet in April 2021 the online group Predator Poachers enacted a sting operation on Moreland, setting up a decoy that interacted with him over several months while claiming to be a 13-year-old girl. According to the extensive chat logs and video calls they released, Moreland engaged in and initiated extremely inappropriate behavior, up to and including sending explicit pictures and agreeing to meet her in person with sexual intent. Members of the Predator Poachers were present at the spot given for him to go to, and over the course of around 50 minutes, he made several serious admissions, including the texts and calls with the decoy being real and that he had engaged in similar conversations with numerous other minors. As a result, his reputation on the Internet took an intense nosedive. He announced plans to delete his main channel before the Poachers video went live, and deleted all of his videos shortly after. On April 27th, 2021, his channel was terminated by YouTube as a result of the fallout from the controversy, as was the channel hosting the Poachers video after revelations of illicit activity by its owner Alex Rosen — some of it on a very similar level as Moreland.. He relocated to his Facebook account following the termination, making no statements on his legal matters, instead of reverting back to his old persona and promoting a new website where future content would be hosted. The account was terminated shortly after, and the website was shut down after numerous attempts to start it. As of November 2021, he's been staking out at a Nevada hotel while taking up odd jobs, and he was spotted working for Uber and Lyft before promptly being fired from both services after his former fans reported his account to oblivion. Many fans assume that his time is limited, due to his dwindling bank account, poor diet, all of his friends cutting off contact with him, and his whereabouts constantly being stalked and reported by his former fans.

I decided to rewrite it, any thoughts?

Adding a time limit is silly and it's wrong. If they lost their job because they were acting out, then they lost their job. If it takes time to figure out if they lost their job, sure wait, if it doesn't, then don't. Hannibal lost his job within a day of forking that referee's artery. If they kept their jobs, then its not an example, that simple. And if they lose their jobs and get it right back, such as with Tenille Dashwood or Torrie Wilson, that's all well and good. They still lost their role, however briefly.

Expansion should really include lost roles as whole, not just lost jobs. Rob Van Dam losing the title belts because of a drug arrest but still allowing to wrestle with the company. He still lost his role, he just got to keep his job. Ryu Nakata and Haruka Eigen being publicly demoted by Pro Wrestling NOAH for working with a yakuza company are perfect examples of someone losing their roles but still getting to have jobs in the company.

And to be honest, I don't really know what you're trying to say in that second paragraph. "Lost job" actually seems broader than "lost role."

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

This has gone almost a month without any posts, so I thought I'd check to see how things are going, and ask what is left to do here (if anything).

If there's still cleanup work to do, it would be worth adding to TRS Wick Cleaning if it hasn't been already.

Examples need to be checked for passing the wait period and misuse, and I'm reluctant do it right now.

[up]It seems like I had a brain fart and was thinking of other threads I added discussion page notes for today. I'll fix that.

Edit: Fixed.

Edit: Oh, whoops... it looks like I accidentally put it on the discussion page for the Commonwealth spelling redirect (Role-Ending Misdemeanour). I removed that since it's not the primary name of the page and only has a handful of wicks, so the note is really just needed on the discussion page for the main page.

The entry on Gina Carano in Live-Action TV is a bit speculative. While the entry says that Lucasfilm executives were disappointed with her reactionary tweets, a lot of the news sources I can find (including the one linked on the page) don't mention that beyond the Holocaust/Republican comparison that got her fired. Would this be less speculative? Wasn't sure where to link the news article in the rewrite.

  • Disney dismissed Gina Carano from her role as Cara Dune in the Star Wars series The Mandalorian, on February 10, 2021, after Carano shared an Image Macro comparing being a conservative in the United States to being Jewish in Europe during The Holocaust. Her agent United Talent Agency dropped her shortly after, and the upcoming Disney+ series Rangers of the New Republic, which was set to feature Dune prominently, was scrapped in development, with Lucasfilm later stating they had no intention of recasting Dune.

The entry on Johnny Depp in Film seems to focus quite heavily on the legal trouble between him and Amber Heard. Would this be a better writeup?

  • Johnny Depp was fired from his role as Grindelwald during the production of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore after losing a libel case against The Sun in the UK in November 2020. The tabloid had previous run a headline calling him a "wife beater" in response to allegations of domestic violence against him by his ex-wife Amber Heard. The judge in the lawsuit ruled in favor of the tabloid, saying the allegations were "substantially true", with twelve of fourteen instances used by the defense meeting the civil standard for domestic violence. Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen was very quickly cast to take over the role.

Out of curiosity, is there a Role-Ending Misdemeanor cleanup thread this thread's work can be punted to? We previously did the same thing for Never Live It Down, "Funny Aneurysm" Moment, and Audience-Alienating Era.
