Discussion History Main / Tropes

I propose the remove of \\\"and yes, even atheists\\\" as well as the whole Gollum example of fandom fundamentalism and the sentence \\\"Compare Flat Earth Atheist and Agent Scully, in which this trope is applied to atheism and skepticism in worlds where supernatural forces explicitly exist, and Hollywood Atheist for most others.\\\"

And replacing it with this following:

\\\"and even Fandom.\\\"

\\\'\\\'Atheism is given this attribution in various instances when extreme skepticism is employed against the supernatural or religious beliefs, but most instances in fiction can fall under the tropes FlatEarthAtheist, AgentScully and HollywoodAtheist.\\\'\\\'

Part of me worries that I may have phrased it in such a way that those that insist that there be Atheist Fundamentalists would object to it not being clear, but the fact of the mater is that no example in fiction does not better fit in the other tropes and we cannot use Real Life examples due to the natter war that occurred last time. Ergo, we have no other logical choice.

Though I would welcome any suggestions on how to word it better and clean it up.

Also, I have an example for Fandom Fundamentalism in Fiction.

* \\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory\\\'\\\' has Dexter and his friends heading to a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of \\\'\\\'StarTrek\\\'\\\' convention, but end up in an {{Expy}} of a Barbie Doll convention. They treat it as an alien planet visited by the Trek crew. The way the women there treat their hobby goes right to Fundamentalism (with idols, rituals and forced gladiator fights for violators of sacred writ). Of course, at the end it turns out that the kids\\\' own Fandom is no better.

Since we can\\\'t edit right now, anyone have any more?
