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

I don't know for sure, but to hazard a guess, it would be because what one person considers "propaganda", someone on the opposite end of the political spectrum could consider it "realism" and vice-versa. ROCEJ and all.
I didn't choose the troping life, the troping life chose me
I suspect, much like the comment above me, that it is because the definition of "propaganda" is highly subjective and could turn into a flame war magnet very quickly.

^ Is that allowed? I thought the only things that are supposed to be commented out are ZCEs and editor instructions. That note falls under neither of these things—it just asks a question.
I'm not sure it is, it's just interesting that it's there at all but was seemingly never brought up for discussion.

It was unilaterally added in 2015, seemingly without discussion.
Permission to cut that note? And getting back to the original topic, can I add
I figure it might be worth raising this in TRS. I can't find if there was a discussion on listing it as YMMV and it looks a little questionable to me.

- Propaganda Piece: According to this ATT
, it was seemingly unilaterally added to YMMV.Home Page in 2015 and it is questionable whether it is actually YMMV.
Why is Propaganda Piece classified as YMMV? The YMMV.Home Page entry doesn't explain this.
