During the investigation of recent hollers in the Complete Monster thread, it's become apparent to the staff that an insular, unfriendly culture has evolved in the Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard threads that is causing problems.
Specific issues include:
- Overzealous hollers on tropers who come into the threads without being familiar with all the rules and traditions of the tropes. And when they are familiar with said rules and traditions, they get accused (with little evidence) of being ban evaders.
- A few tropers in the thread habitually engage in snotty, impolite mini-modding. There are also regular complaints about excessive, offtopic "socializing" posts.
- Many many thread regulars barely post/edit anywhere else, making the threads look like they are divorced from the rest of TV Tropes.
- Following that, there are often complaints about the threads and their regulars violating wiki rules, such as on indexing, crosswicking, example context and example categorization. Some folks are working on resolving the issues, but...
- Often moderator action against thread regulars leads to a lot of participants suddenly showing up in the moderation threads to protest and speak on their behalf, like a clique.
It is not a super high level problem, but it has been going on for years and we cannot ignore it any longer. There will be a thread in Wiki Talk
to discuss the problem; in the meantime there is a moratorium on further Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard example discussion until we have gotten this sorted out.
Update: The new threads have been made and can be found here:
Please see the Frequently Asked Questions and Common Requests List before suggesting any new entries for this trope.
IMPORTANT: To avoid a holler to the mods, please see here for the earliest date a work can be discussed, (usually two weeks from the US release), as well as who's reserved discussion.
When voting, you must specify the candidate(s). No blanket votes (i.e. "
to everyone I missed").
No plagiarism: It's fair to source things, but an effortpost must be your own work and not lifted wholesale from another source.
We don't care what other sites think about a character being a Complete Monster. We judge this trope by our own criteria. Repeatedly attempting to bring up other sites will earn a suspension.
What is the Work
Here you briefly describe the work in question and explain any important setting details. Don't assume that everyone is familiar with the work in question.
Who is the Candidate and What have they Done?
This will be the main portion of the Effort Post. Here you list all of the crimes committed by the candidate. For candidates with longer rap sheets, keep the list to their most important and heinous crimes, we don't need to hear about every time they decide to do something minor or petty.
Do they have any Mitigating Factors or Freudian Excuse?
Here you discuss any potential redeeming or sympathetic features the character has, the character's Freudian Excuse if they have one, as well as any other potential mitigating factors like Offscreen Villainy or questions of moral agency. Try to present these as objectively as possible by presenting any evidence that may support or refute the mitigating factors.
Do they meet the Heinousness Standard?
Here you compare the actions of the Candidate to other character actions in the story in order to determine if they stand out or not. Remember that all characters, not just other villains, contribute to the Heinousness Standard
Final Verdict?
Simply state whether or not you think the character counts or not.

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."![]()
Whats the difference ?
Edit: Actually looking at the definitions He-Man Woman Hater would work better.

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."Here are my Crazed drafts.
- Damien Logan is the leader of Hector Luna’s sex trafficking operation, and Ronan Pierce’s arch enemy. Once Ronan’s special ops partner during a raid in South America, Damien proceeded to cause carnage for fun, even attempting to rape a young woman. After getting shot by Ronan, Damien survives and plots his revenge. Kidnapping Ronan’s wife and having Lodder rape and kill his daughter, Damien sends DVDs to Ronan bragging about her suffering, with some containing footage of her being tortured, which goes on for seven years. Planning to take Harbor City as his own, Damien tries to kill Ronan when he arrives to save his wife.
- Lukas Lodder, the half-brother of Hector Luna, is a psychopathic, pedophilic Mad Artist who takes great pleasure in causing pain and torment. Working with the aforementioned Damien Logan on ruining Ronan Pierce’s life, Lodder proceeded to rape and murder his young daughter Sarah, later torturing Ronan’s wife for seven years. Kidnapping a girl named Lizzy, he lures Ronan over to save her, only to knock him out and leave him for dead. Having access to multiple women, he keeps them caged and tortures them to death, calling the corpses “works of art.” When Rex Galliger invades his hideout, Lodder tries to have him killed for interrupting his fun. Promising Ronan that he’ll rape Lizzy, he brags to him about raping his daughter.
- The Mad Doctor is a sadistic scientist who’s the leader of an organ harvesting operation where organs are sold for money. In charge of securing Hector Luna’s funding, the Doctor has various people, criminals, and sex slaves brought to him, where he and his doctors proceed to wrap them in ceramic wrap and have them injected with a serum that prevents them from moving or screaming, performing the operations while the victim’s awake and in pain.
Any edits or suggestions are welcome.

It's Spooky Month!I talked with a friend and I took a choice.
Cut Jua Mu Dalby from Super Robot Wars Judgment.
He fails the heinous standard.
He's a nasty misogynist bully that likes blowing up military bases and don't care for civilians.
But he lives in a world with Gauron and Costello. Sadistic Blood Knight is a common villainous trope there and Jua Mu is equally bad as his fellow Ax-Crazy. He is also the strongest of them and the one with the biggest screentime yet he don't manage to Out-evil neither Garon' personal nastiness or Costello Kill All Humans mania.
Sorry Jua Mu, but a lot of people in SRW J want Kill All Humans.
He could count if he was the only villain as The Brute but he's far from being the only one. He should be destroying cities by himself to count.
Maybe Masaki Kihara can count as he fills a very personal psychological torturer role.

Gauron still blows up cities and everything on his way, while also keeping his creepiness towards Sousuke. He also did ally with Dr. Hell on his Take Over the World plan.
Costello is still a raving Psycho that tries to kill everything on his way.
