Misuse either way. Tastes Like Diabetes is about the story as a whole being sickeningly sweet, not just one element.

That seems to be just complaining honestly. Plus they've now started an Edit War

When the example was deleted, I sent a PM to the troper who did so asking why they removed it, as they didn't provide an edit reason. We got to talking, and eventually they told me I could re-add the trope again if I thought it still fit. I just figured I'd clarify why I did what I did, but with that said, I am sorry I accidentally started an edit war. I should have been more careful.

On a different subject though, wouldn't that make the Tastes Like Diabetes examples on the other Star Wars pages misuse as well? For example, the main page only mentions individual elements (the ewoks, battle driods, etc.) and not entire works. Shouldn't those go too?

Is it just me, or is it getting crazier out there?

^ If it helps, misuse in Star Wars pages goes here.

I also sent a PM after the Troper remove dot last week.
