That new subjective message on Complete Monster

And again, I already said I agree it is subjective. I'm just saying that that's no reason to keep mentions of it off works pages, especially when their might be alternative ways of discouraging misuse of the concept.

Are we supposed to put subjective tropes on work pages, though? Cause you could pair just about any work with just about any subjective trope, and someone out there will probably think it's accurate.

Subjectives don't go on the main page of a work. If you want to review it and use it, that's fair game. No subjectives on the mainpage though.

By what standards do you distinguish between "subjective" tropes and other tropes? At the very least, whether or not something is an example of a particular trope is probably either an opinion or an assumption.

Still though, I think my own description is much clearer and quicker to the point than the current one, and whether we try to remove Complete Monster mentions from works pages or not, I'd still like to see the current description replaced with SOMETHING shorter.

The one marked subjective — or 'natter magnet' as being discussed in the other thread on this topic. Locking this one.
