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.
That's a misuse of Misaimed Fandom. Ramsay Bolton's Misaimed Fandom would be his ardent fans despite the work presenting him as a Hate Sink and Complete Monster. I say cut without moving to Do Not Do This Cool Thing— the work doesn't make his torture and rape seem "cool".
The worrying-about-normalizing stuff is something else and AFAIK was a criticism or concern across the whole entire series, not just this one character.
Covered in Star Wars Cleanup, Deadpool, and Web Video sand. I'm not coarse and rough, but I get everywhere.
I know I wasn't to only one to answer the previous thread. However, I didn't quite click on the exact reason you thought Misaimed Hatedom and Hate Dumb were the same until I saw your first post on this thread, and have just realized that my input on the previous thread could easily be read as the opposite of what I meant concerning a particular point. So, to clarify what I meant and how I understood things to work so far:
- Hating a character that is meant to be liked is Misaimed Hatedom, but since that redirects to Misaimed Fandom, it's technically a case of Misaimed Fandom.
- Hating a character that is meant to be hated "for the wrong reasons" (the Light from Death Note example) is outright misuse, and would indeed overlap with Hate Dumb.
So if Misaimed Fandom applies to hating characters meant to be liked (makes sense given the Misaimed part, thanks for helping me get that), how is it different than Ron the Death Eater? Does that only apply to fan works doing the vilification?
yes. Ron the Death Eater is specific to fan works.
And we have Draco in Leather Pants as the inverse of Ron the Death Eater.

There are some moves to
and cleanups I intend to make for Misaimed Fandom. I have some questions first:
First: this example from YMMV.Game Of Thrones
I find this suspect as 1. it's speculating it would happen as opposed to something that happened. Given the backlash towards the character's Invincible Villain status it apparently didn't happen. 2. it's not to be used as a complaint as that's not an attribute of the work, it would be criticizing real life audiences which is not something allowed on this wiki. Cut or move to Do Not Do This Cool Thing? Unless I hear back I'll cut as it's speculating such as opposed to saying it happened.
Second: Misaimed Fandom has the redirect Misaimed Hatedom. When I asked
it was agreed an inverse of Misaimed Fandom (hating a character that's supposed to be hated for such), which this trope is, shouldn't be allowed. Misaimed Hatedom has 0 wicks (I cut the only one as the entry entirely redirected to Mis-blamed) and and 163 inbounds. Should Misaimed Hatedom be cut as 1. Encouraging misused of Misaimed Fandom by being its opposite. 2. Identical to Hate Dumb which is Flame Bait. If we want to keep it in some form that effects my plans for cleanup.
