If they aren't misused, ZCE, or non-fictional, they can stay. Which probably none of them.

I would think that having a true Hair-Trigger Temper would essentially preclude Berserk Button unless it's something that stands out in either its innocuousness or the response.

Between that and general Berserk Button misuse, I'd wager very, very, very few of these examples count.

Actually, if being non-fictional invalidates an example, then the entire page might need to go. All the entries are about the things that people would call in about in order to set off the show’s host, and said show was non-fictional (theories about it being a troll production notwithstanding). Not sure if it being a radio show technically makes a difference in that regard or not, though.

There was a talk recently, but there can't be a lot of Berserk Button's, that is Hair-Trigger Temper.

If these aren't acting then these need to be cut regardless.

Berserk Button could hypothetically have a subpage if a lot of characters have berserk buttons but even then, it usually belongs on the character page itself.

Also I feel like I remember talking about this subpage on the ROCEJ thread or something, I guess it just never got cleaned.

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

Curious that you mention it, because there is also the BlazBlue that, at least, is more in line that each person has a few buttons. Although of course, I see the main problem being mostly the lack of context in most of the examples.
