Note: This thread was proposed by amathieu13.

Been around since 2011, has only 8 on page examples so it's a stub by those terms and 17 off-page wicks, making it Starving. The draft seems to have been stealth launched.

The concept itself is likely just a bit too narrow (only focusing on throwing a washtub for peeping at a hot springs) and anime/Japan specific to get many examples and can be covered better by slightly broader tropes like Outdoor Bath Peeping and Pervert Revenge Mode.

Suggestion: Cut and relocate appropriate examples to Outdoor Bath Peeping and Pervert Revenge Mode.

Paging ~amathieu13 as requested. Anyway, I agree with cutting and transplanting examples as proposed in the OP.

Sounds like a very specific version of Tantrum Throwing

With 281 inbounds we can probably cut.

Since we have enough cut votes and this page isn't thriving, I'll call this thread in favor of cutting Washtub Throw and relocating the examples elsewhere (if possible)

Dewicked and threw the trope, Laconic, and Playing With page on the Cut List. I don't think the on-page examples were all that salvageable but if someone thinks they are they can move as needed.

Either way, we can now close this.
