Those last entries are really misuse. Especially theven animal ones.

Most (if not all) of those sound more like Accidental Nightmare Fuel, whose examples go under Nightmare Fuel, not Nightmare Retardant. Also, I'm not sure what "unintentional Fridge Horror" means in the case of the Dem Bones one. Wouldn't "intentional Fridge Horror" just be Nightmare Fuel?

I think the editors who added the latter wrong examples dont have any idea what the trope is about.

I went ahead and cut the animal-related ones. Since they were added as second bullet points tacked onto a general example, it was easy to know what to cut.

Edit: I mean the animal-related ones in the first post, not ones like the example for very small dogs failing to be intimidating even when growling angrily.

Thank you, I will remove Metal Gear one on the ground of misuse too (with note that it might count as narm). I might have to give it more thoroughly look later.
