I'm going to start nominating HIH for a cut if this keeps up. Kill it.

"Person dies in real life" is not Harsher in Hindsight. Everyone dies eventually.

I've torched the example due to their deaths sharing zero similarities of circumstance. Neither the times nor causes of death nor motives match.

Fighteer, if you do, bring up Harsher in Hindsight and "Funny Aneurysm" Moment too. Also note the last sentence of this thread, though, Fighteer, If It's You, It's Okay.

Do you want a chainsaw? Because I know a guy.

And my axe.

The tropes could definitely use cleanup, but cutting them all is way too much.

I wouldn't mind opening a clean-up thread at the very least. Seems it'd definitely get some work done. Or even TRS, to see how bad the problem actually is.

I've seen a lot of ATT queries regarding misuse of Hilarious in Hindsight, "Funny Aneurysm" Moment, and Harsher in Hindsight lately. I can't say I disagree with those who say they should be cut, especially since at least one mod is now on board with at least one of those three Audience Reactions.

There's a "Funny Aneurysm" Moment cleanup thread, for what that's worth.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14539293080A57197000&page=3#61

Could it be extended to include the "In Hindsights"?

^ I was thinking the same thing.
