I think Acceptable Political Targets should be removed. One group is invariably going to get offended and it can cause a flame war. Given how heated politics are in this day and age, I stand by my suggestion.

Honestly, I never got why Acceptable Targets is YMMV. It's an objective trope whether a work treats a target as acceptable or not.

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.

Acceptable Targets was added to YMMV (now YMMV.Home Page) in 2010, which pre-dates the Classifying Tropes, Trivia, YMMV, Audience Reactions and Flame Bait and Pages that need the YMMV banner threads. There's nothing on the discussion pages, so I'd say it was probably unilateral. I'm not sure if the lack of consensus is really important since nobody complained about it for seven years.

Is this starting to sound like a TRS-related issue?

Okay made the TRS thread. Not sure if these issues need wick checks but I'll work on one if necessary (please just let me know).
