Yeah, that's misuse and should be cut.

I am increasingly coming to the conclusion that Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy needs an example ban, on the grounds that editors simply cannot handle it.

I don't think it needs an Example Sectionectomy. I feel like it should have examples, because it IS a legit trope with legit examples, after all. But maybe make it a process to get added, similar to Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard.

In any case, it'd probably need a TRS thread.

There is a TRS on it waiting to be opened.

Should we cut the Picard example or wait until the TRS?

I feel pretty safe in saying the TRS thread will not redefine the trope to meet the misuse. So I'd go ahead and cut it.

Yes, yank that example and port it to the discussion page.

Yanked and moved. We can lock this thread.
