COVID discourse aside, these are likely unintentional examples and could go under another trope, like Broken Aesop or maybe Protagonist-Centered Morality.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

The examples seem to be coming specifically from Cool Cat Fights Coronavirus so factor that in.
Trust me, I'm an engineer!

On Characters.Cool Cat Saves The Kids, I found some Politically Incorrect Hero entries with bits relating to the Coronavirus:
(emphasis added)
All politics aside, this feels like a case of Square Peg, Round Trope. The trope is about otherwise good characters who hold prejudiced, bigoted views, or at least act like they do. Unless that's involved in some way, I don't think a character's actions related to a disease qualify, no matter how controversial or potentially endangering they may be.
Nevertheless, I thought I might as well bring it up here, just in case there might be some nuances I'm missing. What do you guys think? Should these entries be edited to remove stuff related to the virus?
