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.
They should have the same status, given that they're precisely opposite ideas.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
The Ron the Death Eater page has only fanfiction examples, but I have seen many YMMV pages where the trope is used also for general fandom reactions

I think that general fandom reactions go in Misaimed Fandom instead, specifically when they miss the point of the character.
Thomas fans needed! Come join me in the the show's cleanup thread!
There's also debate on if DILP and RTDH should only apply to fan works or the fan reaction. Here's a link
that also contains links to all the other discussions on the matter. They've stalled but if we have reason to start them up again that would be appreciated.
I'll check the link out.
As is the tropes (and Misaimed Fandom) just seem rife for complaining. Even just limiting it to fanworks seems like an exercise in hunting down someone's fanfic to complain about characterization.
Making it general just has a lot of people trying to whittle down character/story interpretations as "the correct" ones and whining about other people "not getting it".

I'm curious as to why Ron the Death Eater as a trope seems to be specifically about examples in fanfiction while Draco in Leather Pants more broadly describes fandom reactions? I still see rtde on some YMMV pages, but it was taken off a bunch.
