"It's an aversion" just means "it didn't happen." So it's not an example. If the role wasn't ended, then there's no Role-Ending Misdemeanor. Even if that weren't the case, Dongwa Chan is absolutely edit-warring so that's no bueno.

Trivia cannot be played with, and thus cannot be averted. There's no evidence in the entry that this even got him close to losing his job - just that fans got mad at the victim.

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

Alright, I've removed the example citing this ATT along with a note that it should not be re-added so as to not start an Edit War.

^ Be warned that they might send a "rudeness notifier" your way. They've done that at least twice.

REM is trivia, there is no averting, inverting, subverting or playing with for trivia tropes

Noticed this at last. So, if it's not an example of a Role Ending Misdemeanor, then what is it an example of?

Nothing, probably. It's just a thing that didn't happen.

Much like there is no nobel prize for attempted chemistry, there is no place for an attempt at a role ending misdemeanor

At best, this would be a subverted example, but trivia can't be played with. If it isn't a straight example, it isn't an example.

Yeah, I say remove it. It didn't actually happen.
