OP by Adept

Straw Angst has existed since 2016, but only has 2 on-page examples and 9 wicks, 7 of which are indices. The definition is also unclear. The description goes on and on about the complexity of human emotions and how a positive emotion/trait can have negative repercussions, or how a flawed/"bad" character can still have sympathetic qualities, but never seems to get to the point of what the trope really wants to be.

Proposed Solution: Cut.

Seconding cut. Will we see a third quick thread in a row?

Cut

And we may have four quickies in a row, depending on how Tax Deductions (next on the queue) goes.

Cut due to both the low wicks, 2 on-page examples, and one of the most rambling trope descriptions I've ever read.

Cut. I was considering a redirect, but I couldn't get what the description is talking about.

Wick count is low enough to waive the three day rule, and we have enough cut votes. You know the drill.
