All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXVI

[GethN7]

I'm not going to approve this entry in the moderation queue, but I'm not going to reject it, either.

Horny wants to undo Carlb's edit because "I feel this paragraph makes the page very dated. These days can quickly change, and in the moment I write it I see several jokes on clean internet about 9/11, so not"

The thing is, I happen to think that the trope is dated, for the reasons that Carlb added to the page. But I'm only one mod.

A week later, and nobody else has approved or rejected it, either.

Shall we ask the tropers their opinions (and risk another argument)?

I commented on this earlier in this thread that I believed we should retain information on if a trope is dated and why provided we have ample precedent to make that claim. Otherwise, it should be removed. 

I do see Horny's perspective on this, things that were off the table at one point can become acceptable again later, but in this case, I do believe the prevailing logic for its current unsuitability isn't without merit.

Ergo, if you want to put this to a vote, fine by me, but I admittedly lean in favor of keeping Carib's edit.
