Discussion History Administrivia / RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment

Essentially, the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment, in theory, means \\\"do not talk about anything controversial, regardless of direction.\\\" However, in \\\'\\\'practice\\\'\\\', it means we have pages for people and works who are absolutely, utterly controversial, and often for \\\'\\\'good reason,\\\'\\\' where we just sort of leave the controversial thing as an ElephantInTheRoom. For example: the page for {{Music/XXXTentacion}} mentions his domestic abuse allegations a grand total of once, on the YMMV subheader, and only to specifically say that we\\\'re not touching them. If you go anywhere else on the Internet, however, \\\'\\\'including TheOtherWiki,\\\'\\\' it\\\'s a pretty goddamn major topic without a whole lot of available nuance; by all appearances, we\\\'re using the Rule there \\\'\\\'just because the subject matter is unpleasant and it would be easier to pretend he was a good person.\\\'\\\'

I feel like something\\\'s gotta give here, especially with the increasing polarization of politics and the increasing number of politicized subjects (I don\\\'t think anyone would have figured a Ghostbusters movie to be a political event a decade ago, [[Film/Ghostbusters2016 and yet]]).
