openYMMV.PokemonRusty Edit war Web Original
On December 1st, 2015, The Jayman 49 added an Designated Hero to YMMV.Pokemon Rusty even though the trope cannot apply (Designated Hero requires the narrative and other characters to treat a character as an ideal hero even though said "ideal hero" is a jerkass or worse). I removed it on December 18th that same year on grounds of it being factually incorrect.
Then, on the 29th of April this year, The Jayman 49 re-added it, and is now trying to claim the audience reaction is deliberately invoked even though, from the context of the series itself, it isn't. Here is the extended edit history detailing it

[ETA] I checked the discussion page, and there was no discussion on the subject.
Edited by TheNerfGuyopen Could someone do a character page the Angry German Kid Web Original
I'd do it myself but i'm banned from editing.

So I stumbled across the useful notes / Asperger syndrome page. Since I myself am an aspie, I naturally thought I could provide *very* helpful input there. But when I clicked the edit button, I was taken to the "locked page" article (I'm somewhat new to this site, so it was only then that I even learned about the lock mechanism). So I did as the description instructed, but saw that the Asperger syndrome article was locked because it "Attracted bloat." Those were the only two words in the entire explanation, and neither were blue. So can someone explain to me what "bloat" is? Also, This Very Wiki falls under Web original, right?
