Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
Doesn't seem like a nothingburger to me; doomposting has been banned on the forums for years, and this seems to be the same attitude spreading to the wiki.
We have a Wall of Text notifier, but it might be too late to justify sending any.
Edited by Riolugirl "Hark! For your greatest fears manifest in yours truly!" (She/Her) (Current focus: Image Pickin')Quotes have been culled from pages when they make the overall tone sound like it's bashing the trope or creator in question. This doesn't quite apply here, but the precedent is there.
But also, many of those quotes are tangential at best, and far too long. The purpose of quotes is to have something to help readers understand the topic, and meandering rants only detract from the article.
Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

I noticed that a troper named OUSIsITH has added a number of quotes in the past couple of months in several pages under Real Life, all of them coming from discussions and quotes from blog posts within the last three years and which take a rather pessimistic view of the future. Some of them are very long, like several paragraphs. Quotes can be found in Reality Is Unrealistic, Terminally Dependent Society, Humans Are Bastards, Nostalgia Ain't Like It Used to Be, and Post-Peak Oil.
Simply being negative might not be grounds for removal, but with the result being in some of these pages being so heavily negative I am not sure whether this by itself merits a review. (I have refrained from pinging the troper in question for now since if this is a nothingburger I'm fine with not bothering them.)
