I don't think it's a good addition. You're comparing group tropes and genres when the trope is about character dynamics.

...And, yeah, those aren't the first of their kind on that page, but I'd argue that all these are misuse.

How come you don't think this page is, in any way, a good idea?

That is not what I said

^^ I think the page is full of ZCE and shoehorning.

^^ It's an index I think (context isn't needed) but I agree on the shoehorning

Also, War Jay 77, you said that the tropes I've put down refer to group tropes and genres instead of character dynamics. What are the more appropriate pages I could have put these trope comparisons on, if not really Red Oni, Blue Oni?

^^^ Zero-Context Example

^^ Its page type is subpage and it doesn't show up in the index. I think it's more of JFF.

^^ Yeah, I'm not that good with acronyms. I might want to search them up on Google, but odds are, I wouldn't be able to find these acronyms at all, or at the very least, the right meanings to these acronyms. So what's JFF?

^Just For Fun. There's a glossary for terms specific to the site that you can refer to here.

"What are the more appropriate pages I could have put these trope comparisons"

Nowhere on main pages at least. But these can mention the other as "related" in their descriptions (some already do).

It is sad to see that page being gone, considering how much fun the other tropers must have had while contributing to that page (and there are also other subpages about tropes, like EvilCounterpart/Tropes and WarpThatAesop/Tropes (both of which are found here because I do not know how the Permanent Red Link Club can display both the namespace and the title at the same time for its "links")), so what if you either were to archive the content, or move it to a Just for Fun or to a Darth Wiki page?

P.S. I have contributed to the page as well. I have made an entry adding Incorruptible Pure Pureness and Guile Hero as the red and blue oni respectively after seeing their Evil Counterparts be on there.

One last thing: I like Commander Pony Shep's entries on that now-cut page. I guess it is a good thing of them to be more effortful than just saying that the tropes are red or blue.
