Since the trailer is new, I don't think Internet Blacklash should be given. At most, it's Tainted by the Preview.

Given the example was removed via moderator restoration, have to say you don't have a super strong leg to stand on here.

The example is, at best, poorly done to the point of basically being zero context. And really sounds weak enough that it dilutes Internet Backdraft to literally "someone on the internet didn't care for something."

EDIT: I see you've readded it under Tainted by the Preview. Honestly, that's... not a great thing to immediately do especially when there's ongoing discussion and it already borders on an edit-war (that you've lost). Basically, your actions sound more like "How can I get this onto the page?" versus "does this belong on the page?" which doesn't sit well.

The example was removed via moderator restoration because this other user thought I'd created the Internet Backdraft example in the first place and reported me for edit warring.

Specifically it was this query where Spacecoyote was mistaken for edit warring.

Still, causing a commotion right after coming off a suspension (justified or not) feels Too Dumb to Live

"Going through the appropriate venues to discuss a thing" is Too Dumb to Live and causing a commotion? You're funny.

Anyway, I've filed it under Tainted by the Preview and reworded it.
