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.

I disagree with you that there should be a note about the shooting in the article, but everything else about that monstrosity is giving me a heart attack.
Possible link to banned topic. Wedging two completely unrelated topics into the same paragraph. A tangent about violence in games. An opinion piece on gender distribution with no clear link to anything.
I am exercising great willpower to not remove that entire thing myself now. And I would not blame anyone who did.
Edited by war877The mention of the shooting is merely to explain that the designers, programmers and hosts wore rainbow ribbons at all times during the event, as a sign of solidarity and humanity to the affected ones. The original entry had no problem until the troper used it as a backup to add that unnecessary material they added. On the other hand, if removing everythting is the only way to guarantee that this unwanted side material will never return, then I'll respectfully accept it.

, Dragon Ranger made Step Three into the triggering of an Edit War by "Switching 2016 controversies entries back" to a rather-unintuitive format that places the whole thing at the middle of the E3 2016 section, trying to correlate an act of solidarity from the ones present in the conference towards the affected ones by the Orlando shooting with a controversial analysis on video game violence (using Feminist Frequency as a source in the process). Before said analysis was added at all, the folder merely mentioned the expressions of sympathy like the rainbow ribbons, and I think it was perfectly fine that way since it was very relevant to how E3 was performed this year. Indeed, after Dragon Ranger originally repurposed that part to add an analysis on gaming violence (which ONLY relates to E3 in the content and themes of the games exhibited and not the event itself), it was reverted by another troper for the reasons I'm explaining. Now DR simply reverted it as they believe the two pieces of info must be together.
Since this is the kind of thing that unfairly ruins and degenerates the subject of the article (as happened in many other pages), my opinion is that the whole entry about analysis on gaming violence should be axed and leave the entry about the solidarity of the conference (like I said, this one thing is relevant and meaningful). But I'm bringing this here first because there's sadly an Edit War declared here and I need the troper community's stance on this before douing anything.
EDIT: In fact, if you read carefully the current revision, you'll note that the whole tribute and solidarity part was demoted to being a "side note". When in fact that should be the only thing preserved there at all!
