Pinging ~opal6561 .

If you "dunno", ask first. But "removed from This Very Wiki for violating The Content Policy" is a very clear hint to not add examples from it that got it cut, as well as No Lewdness, No Prudishness

I only added that entry because it was on Horrible.Web Original back in 2011, along with the fact that I was utterly repulsed when I read Something Awful's page on it; even thinking about eating excrement makes me gag 99% of the time.

Am I that troper? Maybe, maybe not, the world will never know.

The fact that it was on a cut page and violated the content policy wasn't convincing enough to avoid adding it?

This is gonna be like the worst thing I've ever typed, but technically speaking I don't even think that qualifies as Horrible under the modern rules. For a work to be SBIH, it cannot just be offensive in subject matter, it also has to be poorly made. I don't want to know any more detail than that, but I'm just throwing that out there.

More pressingly, we don't trope porn and we don't have SBIH entries for Web Originals.

Um, Opal. Are you just being ironic there. Or...?

Like believe me I don't want to jump to conclusions on anything, but this is a little concerning.

concerning ^^: opal, if you're angry at me for assuming that you meant to shove your assumed fetish places where it shouldn't be, that is not the response to make.

i understand making mistakes, i just got a warning for talking about you in the sbih cleanup thread instead of staying on topic, but making edits since 2020 would give you time to make yourself familiar with the fact that pornography or fetish material will not get pages or examples here.

i thought i was overreacting, but now i'm even more concerned.

Yeah, between that entry and this one from the same page, this looks... not good

The other edits on that page don't seem too bad, but I worry that spending too much time making pages and entries for Darth Wiki has had a potentially negative impact when it comes to editing the normal wiki. We don't really want to discuss fetish-y content, even if it's in relation to how it's a bad thing. It's okay to just not make these sort of jokes and references at all.
