I agree with [=XFllo=] and [=RoundRobin=]\'s removals. I think these are misuses and the Cersei example involves some FlameBait. Cersei is a villain but the character has fans, has been on-screen as a major character and developed for eight years, and it feels uncomfortable to say the site of a person (even fictional) becoming all bloodied and broken is satisfying -- and to argue that it should have been worse. I don\'t doubt this is how some feel but, as the example is currently written, it does seem FlameBait-y.

As for the HarsherInHindsight example, because it\'s comparing the end of a fictional character\'s arc to the real problems an actor is facing, it feels like misuse because they\'re not connected in a plotline or an event (ie. it\'s not like that one Buffy episode getting pulled because of Columbine, that \'\'was\'\' confirmed to be the case if I remember right). This feels like it\'s jumping to conclusions, or making connections between two events where a connection may not exist. I don\'t think it\'s appropriate to call having to check into rehab an exile -- they aren\'t being barred/banned from any place by seeking help.
