Pff, who flagged this?

You said something positive about a superhero show on the internet where the protagonist is female, you really should've expected that kind of feedback.
Sarcasm aside, I was wondering the same thing.
Honestly, flagging should be saved for extreme cases were not only the review itself is highly insulting, but also the reviewer themselves don\'t seem to budge at all.
Is there a way of telling who flagged a review or reported a page/TLP draft/forum post/etc.? Because otherwise, anyone could flag any content for any reason, and the worst they\'d get is that the thing they flagged isn\'t taken down.
That\'s a question for the mods.
The only issue I could see is that someone may have felt offended by the way the draft refers to critics of the show, though it\'s clear you\'re talking about a very specific type of critic and not just anyone who disliked the show.

... my money is on the guy who added a negative review to the show two days after this positive one, and had in the past been banned for editing with a right-wing agenda.
EDIT: Thanks for the heads up on the timing. These... wow, the review timestamps are terrible.

@Larkmarn This review was actually written last year. I just wanted to note that because it's frustrating that TV Tropes no longer records when a review was first written after somebody makes the first comment.
@Larkmarn Also, as WarJay77 pointed out, you should take your suspicions to the mods instead of here.
<Moderator headband on> The review isn\'t deletionworthy, but I have removed a reference to Internet complainers. Review the work, not its hatedom.

Ooof, with respect, the work itself references internet complainers. It is a part of the show to make fun of a real life group of people, which is what my review was reflecting.

I agree with maninahat. The show itself discussed the internet reaction to the She-Hulk concept as part of its plot, so it would be on-topic to mention them in a review of the work.

It Ain`t Easy Being a Woman Protagonist on the Internet
The MCU's MO is pretty well established by this point; generate utterly safe, formulaic movies two to four times a year, and keep the more clever, experimental concepts to the tv series. She-Hulk surprisingly turns out to be one of the most novel and weird concepts they've attempted to date. She-Hulk is a court-room and superhero sitcom about a wannabe lawyer who ends up with Hulk-like superpowers. She resents having the powers and just wants to get on with her job, but the world won’t let her.
And it's fun! It's not a hilarious laugh-out-loud comedy by my reckoning, but it has a decent and gentle humour that is a bit more adult orientated than the MCU’s usual output. We finally get a Disney superhero protagonist who is capable of grown up conversations and knows what things like sex are, which makes a nice change. A lot of the strength of the show is owing to the charisma of Tatiana Maslany, whose character Jen/She-Hulk has a tendency to break the fourth wall and address the audience directly about how the show is going. It manages to tread a fine line of having the fourth wall being a regular feature of the show, without that stuff being too frequent or too wacky as with other characters like Harley Quinn or Deadpool. At no point does the show ever get too serious for its own good, and whereas past Marvel shows and movies inevitably gravitate towards the tired old finale of “superhero fights an evil version of themselves”, She-Hulk is self-aware enough of the criticisms of Marvel to find a suitably silly way to give us something new.
There was some concern about how the final show would look, based on the unconvincing CGI in the trailers and the unfortunate news about Disney’s ununionized, overworked animators. The CGI looks fine for the most part in the show, though the quality occasionally drops in certain shots (usually when She-Hulk is in the distance).
Due to the sitcom nature, the series is a bit more episodic and lacking in a main plot thread than we've come to expect from an MCU show. There is a suggestion that we are driving to something, scattered across the episodes, and we do eventually turn up to it in the last couple of episodes, but it feels a bit aimless in the meantime. But at only 30 minutes an episode, and only 9 in the season, that never became a real issue.
