Were not allowed to mention that site here at all. After they tried Doxxing us.

Controversies aside, why would we trope the fruit farm?

Eh, not trope them, just an instance of the trope happening that it involves them. Just like the News & Columns sub page that exists even if we don't trope News Agencies per-se.

They're considered a drama site within the wider part of the internet, like Encyclopedia Dramatica. They're not considered a news site like CNN or Fox News.

I mean, theoretically there's nothing stopping us from reporting about them, no rule that says to ignore their existence, but 99% of times talking about them is off mission anyway.

I'm more concerned that the example is misuse; losing support isn't losing a "role", and didn't the trope get restricted recently to make sure that we wouldn't just count random internet people losing sponsors and whatnot?

The example is misuse. KF didn't lose a role like War Jay said and they don't create works either. The people and groups listed on RoleEndingMisdemeanor.Web Original are creators.

Yeah, a business refusing someone their custom isn't exactly what I think of when it comes to this trope. KF weren't formally associated with Cloudflare in any way beyond just being a customer, so it seems like a case of Square Peg Round Trope.
