Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

Have you attempted to reach out to them at all to discuss the issue? The edits are from October, so it's been a few months since they happened.
Errock commented in the discussion

I'll repeat what I said there: I have no idea what that scene was supposed to be. I'm certainly not comfortable considering it a parody of something so major (plus there's a difference between Darkest Hour and "a sad scene").

Oops, didn't see Errock's comment. Replying to him, too. Just want to see what others think - given the lightheartedness spam and annoying popups are treated in the flick, it felt like a parody to me, but again, I'm skewed towards how seriously troll comments are taken.

Oh. When he removed it with a link to the discussion in the edit reason, the link was dead. Wasn't aware that there was an actual discussion.
Bump - to clarify, eroock argues that the characters have to point out that things can't get any worse and that things will fail soon to count as Darkest Hour - two of the major supporting characters notice what's going on with the troll comments and try to snap him out of it, which seems like it fits the bill.
bookworm11 and I have a disagreement over the "Ralph gets sad when reading troll comments" moment in Ralph Breaks The Internet being a parody of Pixar/Disney's "Darkest Hour" moments were everything gets sad. I believe it's a parody of such - minimally sad music, Mood Whiplash, the protagonist in despair - over something very silly (in this case, insulting comments), and where the real Darkest Hour comes much later. bookworm11 disagrees and eroock says that Darkest Hour must involve more than one person - but Darkest Hour cites The Epic Of Gilgamesh, where the hero's low point(s) are often constrained to him.
