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

The reason why Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil is a locked page is because of a Rape Tropes cleanup two years or so ago. It has nothing to do with the name.

We have a YKTTW right here
where the title is currently a snowclone of Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil. The trope is about portraying characters who own/sell slaves as being on a higher level of evil than other characters. So the name would seem to work since they're basically used in the same way.
There's currently debate going on about whether or not the name itself would be Flame Bait or not, because people think editors will compare the two as morally lesser or worse than each other. Given that Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil is a locked page should we avoid snowcloning that name? Asking the mods mostly who know why that page was locked.
