  • The cut and choose example seems fine.

  • The post-apocalyptic example seems fine for the most part, but maybe too wordy . The two bullets need to be merged as well.

  • Eugenics example seems fine, as that IS the primary problem with Eugenics.

  • Conspiracy theorist example also seems fine.

  • Libertarian examples break ROCEJ and should be cut. By extension, the other political examples as well.

  • The "Historical Time Period" example seems fine. Its bullets need to go, though.

  • The Indian and Chinese abortion example seems like a valid example, but might break ROCEJ.

  • "You can't make an omelette" seems valid.

  • The Ayn Rand example seems like she and her followers discussed the trope, so I think it can stay.

  • The "every politician"/"family values" example needs to go for ROCEJ.

  • John Steinbeck quote seems to discuss the trope, so I'm okay with it staying.

  • Communist examples need to go per ROCEJ.

  • Not In My Back Yard example seems fine.

  • Troll example seems valid, not sure about ROCEJ though.

  • Tolerance example, ditto. Seems valid, but not sure about ROCEJ.

  • Brutally honest Jerkass with a Point example seems valid. But if it stays, the bullet points need to be merged, the wording needs to be trimmed, and the Dave Chappelle point needs to be front and center, since it's another example of the trope being discussed.

  • TERF example needs to go for ROCEJ. Hate them, but don't want to break the rules.

  • Ditto the Islamic State and Alt-Right example. I think the examples are valid, but probably valid but ROCEJ might be an issue.

  • Violence/social darwinist example seems valid. Could probably be merged into another example, though, as it seems redundant.

  • I have no idea what the Nelson Mandela/Terrorist example is talking about.

  • The "swift punishment vs gradual punishment" example needs to be cut for ROCEJ.

  • Freidrich Spee example needs to be cut. The last line even states that it might not even be real.

  • Slavery example seems valid; in this case, I think ROCEJ doesn't apply because pretty much any sane person would recognize slavery as bad.

  • COVID-19 example may be too topical and break ROCEJ.

  • Voting example seems valid, but....well, you get the idea.

In short, I think that there's quite a few examples that need to be cut outright. However, the valid ones still need massive trimming and probably merging as well, since there's a lot of redundant or overlapping examples.
