Isn't an Edit War when the same person re-adds the entry?

At the very least you could delete it again, citing the IUEO rule and this ATT.

^That would be an edit war, but the entry was originally added by someone else.

Anyway, True Art Is Angsty and some other True Art tropes are a mess because I'm not sure why they're classified as both IUEO and YMMV, and I'm not sure if they'd be as easy to sort out as Fan Hater was (since that was just an unfinished cleanup job, while I think Eddie's fiats were involved with the True Art tropes). I removed it because IUEO takes priority regardless.

Edit: Oh, I guess Angsty is the only True Art trope that's IUEO, or at least between what's listed on the True Art page. I'm going to remove it from the Audience Reactions index because it's IUEO.

Edit: And that's done, though it did accumulate some YMMV/ subpage wicks due to this oversight (some of them might be misplaced in-universe examples, if my experience with doing the same fix with Fan Hater last year is anything to go by).

Relating. Why does True Art Is Angsty disallow examples while its opposites, Angst Aversion and Too Bleak, Stopped Caring, do despite being complaining?

Yeah honestly I have no clue why it's IUEO. I wouldn't mind the entry being there if it was allowed since one of the reasons The Last Wish one of the greatest films of all time is because of its dark themes. (although I think it's really its sincerity in how it plays those themes as well as their handling make it so great, not nessesairly the dark themes in of themselves.)

It's alright dude. In fairness to you, it was pretty confusing how this item is both YMMV and IUEO.
