Given that Dressed Like a Dominatrix exists and has examples like usual, we could allow them on the Dominatrix page.
But it's necessary to collect at least 20 of them.
I mean, dressing like a dominatrix and actually being one are very different.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallHonestly, I'd merge the two tropes and say that Tropes Are Flexible, so either being an actual pro dominatrix or just having the outfit and personality would qualify under the same trope.
The Dressed Like a Dominatrix trope isn't even about personality, it can just be fanservice. It's about the looks.
Being an actual dominatrix requires explaining how they are in the bedroom.
Now I'm not saying it can't have examples but the tropes are not the same thing.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallThat note contradicts the first paragraph.
And anyway, just having the "personality" of a dom doesn't mean you are one. I don't see the value in merging a sexual character trope into a fanservice trope that maybe has a personality component.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallThis is not Trope Repair Shop.
As for unlocking, I don't see why not.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupGoing back to my original point-
Just because Dressed Like a Dominatrix is fine doesn't necessarily mean this one will be. It's probably OK but would we have enough "good" examples?
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallExamples are preserved in the history
, as this page wasn't cut and restored like Naughty Tentacles was. However, a good chunk of them are ZCEs.
To be clear, I mean "good" as in "not policy violating".
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI'd be okay with restoring anything usable from the example section, but I think someone should do wick checks on this and Dressed Like a Dominatrix to determine whether there's any point to keeping this in the first place.
Trust me, I'm an engineer!Checking some wicks is useful here because we aren't going to restore the 2012 examples which don't hold up to today's standards of context, we are going to collect some of the current-off page examples.
Furthermore, a wick check can become an evidence that there are no lewdness issues.
Edit: I made Sandbox.Dominatrix Wicks, collecting 50 wicks with eroock's tool
. At first glance, there's no one-handed stuff going on. Anyone is welcome to sort them.

People may be confused. The check was suggested for Dressed Like a Dominatrix, not this one.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper Wall
Actually no: since merging the two was on the table, we need wick checks for both to determine how they're being used off-page.
And yes, I know merging is technically Trope Repair Shop's job, but we can gather information here, right?

Trust me, I'm an engineer!I don't know if we actually can. People keep getting off topic. All we can do here is vote to restore or not; the DLAD stuff has gotten everyone super distracted.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI've completed the wick check and found about 15 Dominatrix examples that could be easily restored to the main page. Many others (24/50) were potholes, but some of them are in The Baroness or Whip of Dominance entries that can be easily reworked to be about Dominatrix because they have the same motifs or context. There were 10 zero-context examples.
The most promising result is finding no lewdness at all!
In favor of unlocking and restoring examples: Amonimus, animuacid, JHD0919, jandn2014, opal6561, StarSword, Ramidel, Echidna, worldwidewoomy, WarJay77, StalkerGamer

Opening a thread on whether we should restore (non-real life) examples, as The Second Google Incident occurred twelve years ago as of the day of writing and no other issues with advertisers have occurred since then. Wicks can be found at this page
.
