The flag here for BumrapeIsland was sent with the rationale

it's a commando comic redone by (what I presume is) a 12-year old into a sex story. It's graphic willies all around. Also really bad juxtaposition with the actual story it started out as being called Nightmare Island, about a Japanese POW camp.

This is like the Caillou fanfic; it's so incredibly juvenile and silly that you'd have to be a world-class degenerate to actually get aroused by it. Voting keep.

Frankly I vote to cut. There doesn't seem to be much creative effort besides crudely drawing cocks onto an established comic. We trope the new things a transformative work adds to its parent work... but it seems the only thing added here is sex jokes that barely affect the plot. Not tropeworthy.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Keep. Sex jokes are generally treated differently from porn - see our call on Oglaf.

It doesn’t seem like porn, instead just immature jokes. Keep

I'm OK with a cut, not for violating policy necessarily but for not really being a creative work, as Mightymewtron pointed out. At least the Caillou fic was a story someone, like, actually wrote.

I clicked on a random page and yeah, the alterations change nothing substantial, so IDK what we'd actually be troping.

Edit: The most tropeworthy thing I found so far was a chapter where a character is I guess raped, but that's just one thing so far. I guess it's Black Comedy Rape but I can't even be sure about that.

Uh. Tbf we do make pages for similar works if they have small differences even if the whole thing is pretty similar to it's original.

The witches film pages come to mind. And checking the page it seems it has at least more than three unique ones so don't see an issue myself.

[up][up]No cutting on those grounds. So yeah, it's a work.

Like again all you need is three unique tropes. We have that?

So no real issues.

Also TBF though most of it is ZCE and at least one that seems like a stretch to me, but I'll concede that there's at least three tropes to pull from it.

It's an old comic scribbled over to change the dialogue into absurd sex jokes, with some boobies and peepees added in for good measure. Crude humor, NSFW but not porn. Actually kind of funny if you're as immature as me. Keep.

I think it's keepable, but it's barely tropeable except for the running gags. It might work better if we trope the original story, saying in the description:

"Nightmare Island is a comic published in Commando. Its claim to fame lies in how someone edited it..."

And then we add the Bumrape version at the bottom. I've seen some old obscure films do this to try to trope the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode they appeared in, but I don't know if that is still kosher.

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

The question of “does this have enough tropeable content to exist as its own page”, while relevant to the wiki, falls outside P5 purview. Keep.

It's pure Black Comedy and references to sex for comedy, and not titillating. Keep.

Looks like we have a consensus to keep - issues of tropability are not within the remit of this forum. I'll do the record-keeping; closing in the meantime.
