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.
Yeah, go ahead and cut anything by them. Statistically speaking, they're probably a garbage edit.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.^ Thanks a lot, that makes sense. There's been a bug report before
, would be cool if the &more=t could be included by default.
^^ & ^^^ Looks like, besides correcting some spelling mistakes they took a level in natter. I began a clean up. So far I removed the Turkish-German example
as
well
as
a
long
list
of
other edits
.
I also deleted a porn example
that seemed to fit the trope but didn't include the title of the work or the creator.
I haven't rewritten the Thatcher example
yet but I
made
some
changes
to
a couple
others
of their edits
.
I don't know how to handle these edits at the moment: [1]
[2]
.
Maybe someone who speaks Japanese can help out with these edits: [3]
[4]
. looked it up in a dictionary
and the word can apparently be used both literally and metaphorically which should be added in the first case. As for the second edit, it should probably reworded.
This
example is incomprehensible and needs to be rewritten.
There are also so many more edits to screen but I can't take it any more.
FWIW, they claimed on Edit Banned once that their username is actually a reference to a book. That doesn't excuse everything else, but yeah.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper Wall^ Well, even then I found a couple other problematic posts that luckily got cleaned up already. Take a look at [1]
. While it's ok to criticize the feminist movement, the way they do it is not.
They were bounced a few years ago after flaming out in an ATT query about them. I'm not sure why their troper page wasn't cut, since that's standard for banned tropers.
Edit: Link to query.
Someone still has to remember. I/moderators can't do it with the same tool as creating the ban/bounce, so I/we need reminding. I've processed the request now.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.

I skimmed through the edit history
of The Kaizerreich since I found their name concerning. They haven't edited for almost three years but there are a couple of edits I find problematic. (Links to the specific edits in the history don't seem to work. Are they too old? Is this a bug?)
This got rewritten anyways, however obscure comparisons of the number of killings are a typical right wing talking point (Holodomor
is more comparable to the Great Famine in Ireland and it is completely beside the point).
In Acceptable Political Targets they added:
Further they added an example on Maggie Thather that in essence is also in the current version. Here's the original edit:
I agree that Thatcher is a good example for this trope however I feel the criticism is portrayed in a wrong way, cf. [1]
. While Thatcher is seen as an unpleasant person it's not due to "moral guarding".
In Acceptable Professional Targets they added:
And also
In Acceptable Ethnic Targets they edited:
This somewhat beside the point. They also added an example that in essence survived till today:
As a German I know none of those "popular Turks" who made it into "high military positions". Actually I don't know any high ranking military officer (who are still in office) at all. They are definitely not popular. However, there are popular politicians of Turkish descent. Also there are very few "Turks" in Germany but many people of Turkish descent, in the third generation or so. As for television, I'm not aware of any popular stereotypes. That's not to say there wouldn't be any but they should give examples.
In Black Panther (2018) they started an edit war for which they got suspended [2]
and I don't even know what to think about the example:
There are also three other ATT threads about edit war issues [3]
[4]
[5]
.
I'm not sure if I'm the only one who has issues with those edits but maybe others can help looking through the edit history. Of those examples above only the Thatcher and Turkish-German examples seem to have survived.
