What is this supposed to mean?
"This trope's name comes from the oft-(mis-)quoted line from Shakespeare's Hamlet, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." Note that in Shakespeare's time, "protests" meant nearly the opposite of what it does today. Using the example from above, Bob's species "protests too much" by saying and being all those things, when all Bob wants to do is flirt with Alice the Granola Girl."
The example is kind of unclear on what exactly "protests" is supposed to mean. Is it related to this explanation, or is this an example of using the modern meaning? http://www.goenglish.com/ProtestTooMuch.asp
Might be due to me not being a native speaker, but it's still very confusing.
In context and extended, "My Species Doth Protest Too Much," means, "My Species Keeps Saying We're All Like This, Don't You Think It A Mite Suspicious? If It Were True, They Wouldn't Need To Talk(/Protest) So Much."
Unextended, "My Species Is Talking Too Much"

Why is there a "Red Menace" folder? It only has two entries and does not even remotely fit the organizing scheme.
