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.
See No Lewdness No Prudishness. Basically, as long as the example doesn't hit any of those flags, it can stay.
Unless the band members are squeaky clean idols that would never say such a thing or they are marketed as family friendly or Christian or something equally well scrubbed the example doesn't work. Now if they were the Jonas Brothers or something, it might.
Also it helps if you link the page that you are discussing, it makes it one less step for the person trying to help you.
Here you go. Man With a Mission. You can see the example in the page. I don't think it's anything graphic or explicit, but I guess it's not essential either.
The problem isn't the word 'cum' to my way of thinking. The problem is that the trope doesn't fit. The description of the trope page for Precision F-Strike states: "it's where swearing has been used effectively to add weight to the sentence". There isn't anything about the example that indicates that the use of the word 'cum' in that song has that impact. "That it may jar some listeners" is pretty non-specific and does not demonstrate why that trope belongs on the page.
Hmm, you're right. I'll remove that trope from the page, thanks for the help!
I recently made a page about a band called Man With A Mission, and while looking for tropes to list I found a Precision F Strike in their lyrics. The problem is that the example I wanted to list contains a word ("cum") that isn't exactly family friendly. It's in the page right now, but maybe it's a word a little too strong to be in a Tv Tropes article. Should I remove that example, or can I keep it? Thanks in advance.
