Oof, yeah, this definitely reads like agenda-based editing. I would think the edits should be reverted and a notifier sent for at least unilateral changes.

I'd support reverting the edits as well — I didn't notice anything particularly ROCEJ-violating in the original version of the description, and given the many existing tropes about stereotypes and politics, I don't see a reason why this trope can't be on the site either.

And yeah, I agree that this definitely looks like editing with an agenda, especially given the edit reasons and now-removed addition to the page.

Cold turkey's getting stale. Tonight I'm eating crow.

They also tend to natter and use bad intention, but that's not as serious

I'd give links but I'm on mobile and at work; just trust me tho, they're not hard to find

^ Speaking of, I had sent them one for the unilateral change.

Anyway, it looks like ~𝕋𝕒𝕓𝕤 already reverted the change and maybe suspended them as well?

It seems they sent me a response just now — it appears they think I was in charge of the trope and the response is also quite politically charged.

^ Evidently not, as I received the aforementioned response about 4 minutes before I posted here about it and there was no notice of a suspension.

You should probably direct them to this thread where their edit claim is addressed.

^^ Well, that doesn't mean they're entire suspended from all things. It would just be an editing suspension. I also don't think you get notified if someone you're notifying is suspended...?

^ No, let's please not direct the angry political wonk to a space where they can flame out. Even Tabs said to not.

and I was right.

Should still keep this open due to the PM issues, though.

Oh, sorry. I was just suggesting that because they directly attacked me (calling me "upset about the US elections") and I responded explaining I didn't mean to be anti-conservative.

^^ Yep, I looked in the edit banned thread after seeing the Annalynn ATT and I saw Puma's post and my immediate thought was "oh no".

Sorry. I was just trying to second WarJay's remark about Puma's behavior possibly being problematic. I'm choosing my words very carefully right now because… well, because political drama is bad. I have strong political opinions, too — strong enough that I don't think Puma and I could ever be friends — and that's all I'm gonna say because I don't want to be part of the problem. In fact, I feel like I should recuse myself from this or something… and yes, I know recusal is a thing judges do when they can't trust themselves to be impartial due to conflict of interest, I don't care! This is not the time or place for me to vent.

Puma has apparently been permanently banned due to their edits and how they responded, so I'll go ahead and close this ATT query since it probably won't be needed anymore.
