Really? I thought it was always agreed that trivia does allow non-tropes.

Yeah, trivia is relatively flexible when it comes to production-side knowledge, as long as it relates specifically to those kinds of matters. I've seen many pages listing anonymous facts about a work's production on them. Whether this particular example passes 5P is a separate question, but not having a specific trope to match isn't necessarily it.

But what it's talking about is audience reaction/YMMV as opposed to Trivia (objective facts) about the work. Should it be cut on those grounds?

I'd say yes. Sounds more like Base-Breaking Character to me which is YMMV, right?

^^Yes. Personally though, I would have just cut it, though that's just me.

At bare minimum this warrants some trimming. It does offer production information outside of her just being a contentious character but seems to mostly focus on audience reactions so it can go either way.

Yeah, honestly, while the context seems to imply that this is a transferred entry from the dark days when Lolicon was an actual trope, the content reads clearly like a Base-Breaking Character example. Though I'm not sure if it's actually a well-written one, so I'm not sure what to do with it either, apart from concurring that it doesn't belong on Trivia as it stands.
