I Thought It Was A Forbidden Wick Check

Soft-split between "Dangerous Forbidden Technique but Subverted" and Protagonist-Centered Morality. For starters that's bad practice and secondly there's no reason to not just move wicks accordingly if these are preexisting tropes.

Besides cutting, I believe the trope could be a counterpart for Inferred Holocaust, as an Audience Reactions about something set up that can only be used only rarily, but due to PlotHoles the characters start doing all the time, so that's the only saving grace I can come up with.

Cut. As you pointed out, Yes, We DO Have This One.

(Also, the name is too dialogue-like, which might explain its lack of wicks.)

Going to go with cut

Your interpretation could be something, but the trope itself is just a soft-split that overlaps with other tropes.

More like "I Thought Stock Phrases Were Bad", am I right?

But seriously, cut.

Hooked a crowner so we can get this out of the way. I'm not sure if we have enough consensus yet, so I thought I'd do this to be safe.

Calling crowner in favor of cutting I Thought It Was Forbidden and moving its examples to other tropes.

I posted a notice on the discussion page and dewicked Main/. I didn't touch the on-page examples, and I need a break from wick cleanup because I already went through Album Single and Date Crêpe.

Crown Description:

I Thought It Was Forbidden has an unclear name, an unclear description, and a low amount of wicks, plus it's redundant with other tropes. What should be done with it?
