I'll note it's currently on the TRS Queue, although the OP of that thread is currently suspended.

I have a proposed post for the eventual thread in my notes that would point out the "supposed to make fun of fans overreacting to things" element, but I'm not sure it's actually possible to restrict it to that without keeping people from using it unironically, so I'd end up suggesting making it definition-only or Flame Bait.

Ruined FOREVER is already classified as Flame Bait, though. There's a reason why it's there; stuff that's considered too negative opinion-wise isn't to be put on the main site and is instead reserved for the Darth Wiki.

Ruined FOREVER is listed on Tropes Needing TRS with this reason?
I agree for the most part. Ruined FOREVER is supposed to make fun of fans overreacting to things, but without a lot of restrictions, it's easy for somebody to pass off genuine complaining as "oh, it's just something those dumb fans believe!" Even if Ruined Forever was used correct all the time, there's always going to be someone out there who flips out over the smallest development, so I think making this a definition-only page would make sense.
What are your thoughts on Ruined Forever? Is it ultimately harmless in the long run, or should we do something with it?
