Their troper page, which simply says "Ralph Breaks the Internet sucks!", makes me think that there may be a Single-Issue Wonk going on.

^ They added that shortly after their entry was removed too. They also have a problem with Bold Inflation like this edit on NightmareFuel.Violette1st (which I'm pasting cuz I'm probably cutlisting this page):

  • THE VIDEO WHERE WILLIAM SETS HIS DAD'S CAR ON FIRE. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HIM!?

I did a null edit to link to the So Bad It's Horrible Cleanup thread posts where the entry was discussed, as well as sent ~Mickey Mouse Fan 12345 a Complaining notifier (which seems ironic for SBIH but whateves) pointing them to both the replies to their question in the forum and this ATT.

If nothing else, they can't claim ignorance, even if they never looked at the cleanup thread after their initial post.

Back in 2020, they also added a meta/fan-made content folder to Awesome.Sonic Forces and added some Captain Ersatz examples to Peppa Pig that asserted that Mr. Potato is one of Jimmy Savile(!) and that Pedro Pony (who, for reference, looks like this is one of Arthur (the latter claim was also integrated to a The Scrappy entry on the show’s YMMV subpage).

Suspension issued for the edit war. Unless a similar trend can be established for the other edits, they're not actionable. Editors will have disagreements on what counts, which is why seeking consensus is important.

Bump, They're now trying to add this example, and clearly haven't learned anything.

If they're still suspended and trying to get other people to add examples for them, isn't that technically ban evasion?

It's an offense called meatpuppetry.

The example they proposed also shows problems with first person writing, intense complaining, and Bluenose Bowdleriser tendencies to ironically get around personal insults (writing "shit" like "sh1t").

Did he just write "dipshit" like "dip$h1t"?

Some people need to learn the hard way.

That Looney Tunes Cartoons example... jeez, I've seen some bad examples before, but what a wall of text that is.

I just noticed their forum signature is "Join the Anti Ralph Breaks the Internet Club Today!" which reinforces the Single-Issue Wonk vibes.

They are still suspended, I am taking a note but also closing this query before it gets more peanut gallery like.
