Either way, 123ninja is taking part in an edit war.

They've done similar on the YMMV.LifeIsStrange2 page. They added an example of Internet Backdraft, which I then deleted, along with other IB examples, citing misuse of the trope. A few days ago they then re-added the same example with no edit reason or changes to it. I was considering moving it to the discussion page.

Radayam just deleted the entry.

I initially deleted this entry simply because it had been dealt with back in February and nobody minded. As of this writing it's been deleted again by Radyaam themselves, who placed a pretty good argument against it, which I agree with (considering topics such as culture and religion):

  • "We aren't deleting it because we hate it, we're deleting it because it's incredibly offensive and has no place on this site."

Either way, there's a chance 123ninja might want to Edit War over this entry again, so let's keep an eye on them. I don't want another Hello9876 in here.

On a related note, 123ninja also added Fandom Rivalry and Dueling Works entries pitting the game against Dead or Alive 6 for reasons concerning the female character outfits (which I honestly think is forced).

I agree with the Dueling Works entry being forced (for too many reasons), but I think the Fandom Rivalry entry could be kept. Still needs some work, though.

I suggest narrowing it down to the "core values" incident. As far as I'm concerned, it wasn't until that happened when fans of each game started arguing with each other. The designs, at least on Mortal Kombat 11's end, weren't a factor at all.
