I don't think it needs to go anywhere. We don't need to talk about RL people. FYI, Lost And Found is the best place to ask what trope an example belongs to.

No doubt it is a skewed priority, but we'd talk about how that would be used in story. The real life sections are mostly here on tolerance, rather than being what we really want.

Should the RL folder for that article be deleted, then? Or should only more "general" examples, like that Cracked list, be kept?

It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.

I dunno. It doesn't seem to be causing trouble. Just wanted to clear up what we are about. This one doesn't detract from the mission much. Others do.

@Logo P: AFAIK examples aren't general and if there are general examples (as opposed to 'x is an example because blah, blah, blah') they should be axed.

^ Wouldn't that mean that most RL examples should be removed? A lot of stuffs I see in the Real Life examples goes like "People who [insert trait here] tend to [something related to the trope]"
