I think that a Mod needs to interfere in this one. It's a blatant case of pushing a political agenda, no matter how they try to hide it.

I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt before I checked out their history; the fact that they're wonking on deleting these specific examples from this specific page is troubling and smacks of them being here for the wrong reasons.

Seriously though, this has to be one of the most oddly-specific Single-Issue Wonk cases I've seen.

[down] Oh shit, I didn't go back that far to see that one. Jeez.

... they're not trying to hide it. Their first entry was adding a speech of Trump insulting HRC and referred to it as "putting her in her back in her place."

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.

Why do we even have a real-life section for "The Reason You Suck" Speech? Seems like something ripe for ROCEJ breaking.

^ Not necessarily; we don't have to agree with the examples in order to look at them and say "Yep, this person told this other person they suck".

Trump has literally thousands of TRYSS's and counting. Do you expect them all to be listed here?

Also, do we need the description to read as if it's not neutral to the person? Because the majority of these speeches are written in a neutral tone.

Lermis, please calm down. A mod will probably be around eventually to address the issue soon.

^^ Who are you talking to with that first one?

The fact that they're written relatively neutrally is why I think the page is fine.

The troper in question has been suspended. Whether or not "The Reason You Suck" Speech should be NRLEP is a different issue entirely.

2020-05-10 17:13:37

^ Right; I'll take it to the thread.

In the meantime, should the deleted example be re-added?

Where do we discuss making it NRLEP?

The crowner in that thread already voted to keep real life examples for "The Reason You Suck" Speech.

^ Eh, the conversation is basically settling on removing political real-life examples.

What about the devil may cry 5 reason you suck speech from Dante to Vergil upon why Dante is so powerful despite not losing everything

I am not sure what you are asking about but there was no need to bump a two year old query like this. Locking.
