Here's links to the WMG page and its history: The WMG page | The history for the WMG page.

I really don't know what to make of this, but this looks troublesome regardless. Should I hail a mod?

Yes, please do.

I‘ll admit that it doesn‘t sound so bad to me. It‘s a bit too „fictional“ to be a problem.

Too soon is the problem. A lot of US residents are still really sensitive to these events. It looks like a lack of compassion and attentive thought.

Unrelated: What is it with phone OS companies deciding everyone wants the fancy pants characters that don't display right half the time!?

I agree, that's kind of tasteless.

Granted, I'm reasonably certain we don't have any quality standards for WMG, or at least not that get enforced...

ROCEJ applies across the wiki, as many rules do.

As for that example it's rough enough dealing with the real life mental space of the people who think that kind of behavior is even a choice (or don't even realize there's a choice) without ssying one of the gentlest of characters went insane and caused it.

Bump. I'd also like to mention that this was the guy who kept putting stuff about Christina Miller being a Moral Guardian on AdoredByTheNetwork.Teen Titans Go, along with stuff about the network being "petty" for airing TTG to compete with big movies/specials.

So what should I do? Should I send him a notifier, delete the WMG, or do something else?

I'd delete it for violating ROCEJ. It's not a matter of Too Soon, it's just that it gets overly political and topical for no good reason.

Done.
