Troper is ~Manny 20444

A minor point, while there's definitely activity worth mod attention here, be mindful of things like "there got to go". That's the moderators' call, not ours.

I noticed once a lot of Ms. Fanservice entries were written similarly, but I thought it's more due to laziness and copy-pasting the same description while trying not to make the entry a ZCE.

Have you tried PMing them about it or something?

Jeez, take a shot every time you read "voluptuous body" and you'll be dead in an hour.

This really needs to be stopped.

Manny 20444 hasn't been very active since 2018, with only 8 edits last year, the last one in June 2019. PMing them probably won't help.

The best we can do is change the descriptions of all those entries so they don’t sound samey.

I mean, the basic thing here is that we can describe tropes like this without doing it, erhm... with just one hand.

It's not that they sound the same, it's that they're too detailed to the point of being gross. We need to trim them to remove the sexually charged information while keeping the basic information in-tact.

My point still stands about it sounding all the same, since they just copied and pasted the same description onto every entry shown. But the Purple Prose is a problem too, I’m not gonna lie. I wasn’t suggesting at all these descriptions were acceptable. No Lewdness, No Prudishness, after all.

Also, the other reason I was suggesting that is that I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt here.
