The COVID-related edits are concerning (calling it a "pandemic" isn't inaccurate as it's classified that way, and saying it's "just a normal pandemic" is just...such a strange thing to say, and unrelated to the example). However, those Harsher in Hindsight entries need to be cut anyway because COVID-19 examples are not yet allowed as the pandemic is still ongoing.

Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Requesting an IP check. Walky Stalky displayed similar behaviour, and Skunk Hunt's first edit was a few days after the former was bounced. Also, they both seem to edit mainly Anime-related pages.

I'll also note they're adding inaccurate info...and removing mentions of "mass" deaths.

Man if is them. This is such a weird thing to get so hung up over.

^ You'd be surprised how obsessed people are with shoehorning the pandemic into everything; this guy just has the same obsession from a different angle.

They've also posted a weirdly written review for Host, as seen here, for future reference https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/reviews.php?target_group=Film&target_title=Host

We'll that's not really a review. So much is a really small paragraph of complaining.

Should I invite Skunk Hunt to here for them to explain themselves?

Shares both some technical similarities with Walky Stalky and seems to have the same editing purpose to bury anything coronavirus related. Banned, is a mass revert needed?

Please could a revert from the mods take place. Do think its necessary

I edited the ones on the Host myself. there's some natter to clean up on the Beyblade pages, but the YMMV pages they edited might need a reversion

Did some reversions, but perhaps it'd be easier with a list of pages - not all edits can be reverted.
