I think a bigger problem with the page is that the entire description reads like a venom-filled rant against how evil, elitist critics decide that fans aren’t allowed to like certain genres. Pure complaining, in other words.

^ That too. I debated taking it to TRS but "complaining" threads don't usually go over well there.

I think that you’re only supposed to take a trope to TRS on the grounds of complaining if the trope itself is complainy or invites complaining.

Here I think the trope itself is fine (the phenomenon certainly exists). It’s just the trope description that’s complainy.

^ So, should I take it to the Trope Description Improvement Drive then?

That could be worth trying, yes.

I'd love a formatting cleanup regardless, though. There's so many work pages I stumble upon that are just so badly made I can't clean them without assistance.

Since new such pages are bound to turn up, I guess that could warrant a long term projects thread.

Alright thanks, I will take Dead Horse Genre to the Trope Description thread.

I would start the formatting cleanup, but I don't think I could write a good OP.

EDIT: Started anyway.
