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
for ongoing cleanup projects.
Yeah, that's Complaining About Shows You Don't Like, alright, as well as being a Justifying Edit. Cut it.

It's under Memetic Mutation, btw.

So, LGBT+ cops can’t exist, what?
Yea, take a chainsaw to it, and burn it to the ground for good measure.

That's... not a meme? In addition to the complaining, optionated language. Noting that LGBTQ+/police tensions and history of police perpetrating violence are real thing and complaining about characters that are both police and LGBTQ+ isn't exactly a meme.
But stuff along the lines of "Disney's seventh first LGBTQ+ character! What will their one line of dialogue be?!" has been running wild around Tumblr.
^^ Nobody tell these people about that old Lesbian Cop trope, I guess... We cut it, but it did exist.
And yeah, as far as memes go, this ain't one.

Before my time, but I can think of some and guess it was cut for People Sit on Chairs type reasons, or lacking any distinguishing traits besides "is lesbian" and "is a cop"?
I forgot to note the mutation: people declaring themselves Disney's first/next openly LGBTQ character.
Older Than They Think, if that mentioned character isn't the first?

Is that character even confirmed as LGBTQ? Considering that the original tweet isn't from an official Disney source, I find it dubious. Especially considering how the pre-release buzz of previous Disney movies claiming that the upcoming flick WILL feature the first LGBT character turn out to be bust.
Reviewers who've seen the movie early have confirmed she does have a line where she talks about her girlfriend's daughter, so it's safe to assume that yes she is indeed LGBT+.
I actually agree with the overall sentiment (Disney hasn't exactly been at the forefront of LGBT representation AND police brutality against LGBT is an issue thing) but that's hardly Memetic Mutation, and shouldn't be on the page for an upcoming work.
deku_link edit warred and added the first subbullet back.

Kill It with Fire. Police brutality against LGBT people doesn't mean LGBT police officers are somehow offensive.

^ And even if it did, that wouldn't make this a meme.

Oh yea, nobody pointed out the natter in this entry. The contents of the entry kind of just set me off so I didn’t realize it at first.
Should deku_link be tapped?
Edit: I also should’ve mentioned earlier that you could’ve taken it to the Memetic X Cleanup thread.

Besides, mentioning real-life police brutality probably goes against the ROCEJ anyways.
It wasn't an edit war on my part. I did not add the parts about her being a cop, I was just adding the entry in as neutral a way as possible. A majority of the memes that have made the rounds on twitter (like the one I provided) mocked her for her physical appearance.
When in doubt, spit deku nuts.
^ You added the original bullet about the meme, someone deleted it, then you added it back. That's an Edit War.

I did not see it as such because by the time my bullet had been deleted it had been edited several times by others with irrelevant information tacked on. I apologize if this was obstructive.
When in doubt, spit deku nuts.
Is it just me, or does this have a bit of complaining?
From YMMV.Onward:
It calls the character "ugly", and it claims that Disney is "cheap" and "rehashed". I think this is really bashy.
