This violates How to Write an Example quite hard, not to mention is a complete mess as is.

The edit history shows it originally looked like this:

  • Gorn: Miura depicts all kinds of bloodshed and dismemberment with a level of detail that straddles the line between horror and fascination.

Out of curiosity, who wrote that? It kind of reminds me of some edits I've cleaned up in the past, and now I'm wondering if it's all the same troper. The unnecessary bold in particular is ringing some bells.

laar2002 bloated it first at Jan 19th 2021, then Maxtreme expanded it by a half today.

Okay, it's not the same one I'd been looking at, which unfortunately means this is an epidemic.

They've had a record of adding unnecessary content to examples, so I'm issuing a suspension. This is far beyond just Word Cruft.
