What entry would you be writing here?

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

I dunno, if the individual uses political humour it might be more appropriate for the main page.

I mean that his AcceptableTargets tend to be people like DonaldTrump, Rudy Giuliani, Herman Cain and BenShapiro. For example in Th3Birdman’s video Everything Wrong with CinemaSins TheEmperorsNewGroovehe compares the satisfaction he got when CinemaSins host Jeremy Scott proves himself wrong to the satisfaction he got when Herman Cain died of the Coronavirus and in his video Everything Wrong With CinemaSins Shrek he responds to Jeremy Scott calling Shrek a hideous ogre by commenting “that’s racist” with a subtitle saying “that’s Rudy Giuliani”. And in Everything Wrong With CinemaSins BackToTheFuture2 he asks if CinemaSins host Jeremy Scott is guilty of the same tropes he complains about in his book or not and Th3Birdman’s alter ego Future Birdman says that he is and comments “to give Jeremy credit it’s a billion times better than that bullshit BenShapiro wrote. So I wondered if it were appropriate to write an AcceptableTargets into Th3Birdman’s YMMV page referencing the AcceptablePoliticalTargets of his humour or not.

If you write about how the work considers conservatives Acceptable Political Targets then yes, I think that's fine, if you stay away from any personal bias as per Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment. Though keep in mind that Acceptable Targets and its subtropes are likely to be made objective as they're currently in the Trope Repair Shop.
