Yeah, that's classic "Unintentionally Unsympathetic shoehorning for the sake of bashing a character."

It's not up there with hypocrite yet but UU is... a flawed YMMV item for that reason.

I'm struggling with how any of them are "unintentional".

I also agree with Larkman that UU is flawed. Doesn't it have a clean-up thread, as well?

Yes it does, though it's possible to make a decent example without being... this. I've never seen somebody misuse it for audience members though. That entry is better suited for something like Common Knowledge or Misaimed Fandom or even Base-Breaking Character.

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

I've removed three of the UU entries for being shoehorned complaining, the fourth one was deleted earlier by someone else, due to being blatant misuse. Looking at their edit history, they haven't made any more edits, so unless the examples are added back, I think the problem's solved.

Has TheBashfulTro been PM'd about this? Is it worth trying to at this point?

They probably should be PM'd just to be on the safe side.

Bump. Not sure if everything here was resolved or not.

This seems like the kind of thing were you first send a notifier and not an ATT report. Sent a few notifiers, to begin with.
