. Don't know if ~OfAllTrade can use comments for this instead of brining it to a discussion, but ~AK47Productions definitely can't remove entries without a discussion.
Fanfic Recommendations does say you could post a review about a recommended fic, although I am not sure if that paragraph expected all fics to gave tvt pages to post the reviews on or if to append it to a recommendation. That comment is falling short of a review though, it just screams rage without actually explaining why. "This is Communist!" is an accusation that's been thrown around the internet at things with zero relation to anything actually Communist, and actual Communist/Socialist ideas also get called as if they are the actual literal opposite of what they stand for.
If you don't like the fic, ok, explain what's the problem with using actual contents, not buzzwords.
Edited by AdannorPeople deserve to know what they're getting into. That fic's ideological agenda (very much hard left) and hostility - I would actually say 'contempt' - for the source material was obvious from post one. "A Canon Defiling Hate Fic mixed with Communist agirprop" isn't a collection of buzzwords - it's a wholly accurate assessment. Do you need excerpts to support that? I can easily provide many.
"..filling in blank spaces in the worldbuilding and addressing certain concepts... that don't entirely hold up to scrutiny" is whitewashing.
Edited by OfAllTradesA recommendation is a recommendation. You having a different opinion than the recommender is not cause to remove it.
I'm reasonably sure the comments field is supposed to be entirely depreciated by now, as much as that information doesn't seem to be filtering into the pages properly, so that's not an alternative.
There's supposed to be a reviews button for this, which there have been questions about the implementation of, but it does still work, so I put review buttons back on the page.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.The fic may be a far left Author Tract (I don't know, I haven't read it) but I think that calling something agitprop is a mite not cautious and the comment can be phrased in a better way.
On empty crossroads, seek the eclipse -- for when Sol and Lua align, the lost shall find their way home.^ Agreed. I'm quite suspicious of accusations of "agitprop" due to current events, and I would argue that the unilaterally removed content is on the verge of a ROCEJ violation and (as you said) can be rephrased.
Works That Require Cleanup Of Complaining | Troper WallIndeed. I learned the phrase from a history book by Sean Mc Meekin titled Stalin's War.
The full quote: "There was no reason why any British leader needed to take seriously the Stalinist smear campaign against Mihailovic, the Chetniks, and British liaison officers. Such agitprop was the stock-in-trade of international Communism, taken at best with a grain of salt, at worst as pathological lying."
I'd say he encapsulated it pretty well.

I added a fanfic recommendation for World War Z that was subsequently removed by another user for being “a Canon-Defiling Hate Fic mixed with Communist agitprop”. I understand the fic in question won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but as far as I could tell there was nothing in it that violated policy. Is it allowed for users to remove fanfic recommendations unilaterally?
