Bumping. Forgot to mention that during the discussion on the Condemned By History thread, I did holler Scifimaster, who basically said the same things he already covered. Scifimaster also made YMMV.Fat Head which has a Don't Shoot the Message entry with the same edit reason as when they removed the film's mention.

I think the mention of Fat Head can stay since it is objectively an example of a rebuttal to Super Size Me. However we should add a note stating that Fat Head itself has fallen under scrutiny for its own falls in credibility.

Would a note like this work?

"It should be noted that Fat Head has been accused of Manipulative Editing and hypocrisy."

^This might be just me, but I'm not a fan of the phrase "it should be noted that," as it feels both clunky and nattery. Additionally, "has been" makes it sound like it was written when the claims were fresh.


Maybe it would be better to add a clickable note after the mention of Fat Head stating something along the lines of "Though it too would become a subject of criticism with time, facing accusations of Manipulative Editing and hypocrisy."

Be kind.

How is "Though it has since faced accusations of Manipulative Editing and hypocrisy" instead?

How’s this. “However Fat Head itself has also faced accusations of Manipulative Editing and hypocrisy.”

^ I'd agree with that.

^^That works, though I'd still suggest consigning it to a clickable note so that it doesn't interrupt the flow of the writeup.


↓Ah, thanks for clarifying.

That was how it was intended to be.
