Didn\\\'t want to start editing war, but I should remind the troupers that not everyone is familiar with the ins and outs of the topic an entry is dedicated to. I notified readers that \\\"Kuso Miso Technique\\\" has scat and watersports, things that vast majority of people (yes, even gay people) find disagreeable. It is information that would be helpful to know beforehand. I then got nagged by someone for not knowing the latest Japanese slang and that this info is something \\\"every weeaboo knows.\\\"

Not everyone reading these entrys is a weeaboo, much less knows what one is. This trouper is guessing that a majority of people visit this page because they are only slightly familiar with bara or never heard about it at all. And yes, some of those people don\\\'t know a lot about the names of gross fetishes in foreign languages. If they did they would go be on a forum for people who know about the topic, not some page on a site deditated to informing newcomers. This just reinforces every stereotype about the closed-off, snobbish, no-outsiders-allowed manga/anime fan.

Someone more experienced then me is in a better position to know if it fits with the page or not, so I didn\\\'t change it. Just a suggestion, but the line could inform the reader what the terms in question mean and and how they are used in anime/manga without being a snob about it.

SevenOfDiamonds - If you didn\\\'t add something I will add something about whether the VerySpecialEpisode is a deconstruction or not, because I think there were disputes before \\\"Home\\\" (but \\\"Home\\\" is the one that seems to support the most the idea that they\\\'re playing it straight). I\\\'ve seen a lot of discussion of that on the AV Club recaps, where the writer seems to see them as a deconstruction/parody but there\\\'s considerable debate about that.

On the other hand, re-reading some of them, I agree with you that the Finn/Rachel thing is not really a deconstruction, mostly because I haven\\\'t seen the show deal much with Finn losing his popularity over that. He lost his popularity for other reasons. IIRC that was just something Rachel accused him of because he was hesitant to date her (which seemed to me, just to suggest that Rachel was full of it, when the reason was obviously that he was dating someone else who he thought he had impregnanted) but in the two episodes where they were actually dating that part wasn\\\'t an issue. So unless someone disputes that I agree it should be taken out.

Also, not sure how the makeovers thing is supposed to be a deconstruction. The reason that makeover backfired was because Kurt misled Rachel about what Finn wanted. It wasn\\\'t necessarily a charge against makeovers in general.
