All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part X

[Bob Schroeck]

So the last couple days I found myself, without any real intention or plan, going through the "Pages Needing Restoration" page and, well, restoring pages.  Some of them.  A few were already restored and not taken off the list.  And a few didn't actually have anything saved in the Wayback Machine so there was no way to restore them.

For those of you who haven't come across this page before, it's a list of known pages purged by TVT in the months before the fork.  It has always been one of our goals to restore as much of this lost material as we could, as an in-your-face defiance of their censorship regime.

After today, though, I wonder if we should have left a couple of pages lost.  This afternoon I restored, among other things, two works -- one a Euroshlock movie about a man who has a sexual relationship with a pig, and the other a webcomic devoted to endlessly torturing and killing a small group of beautiful girl secret agents.

And god do I feel dirty for doing so.

It says something sad when the single largest page I've restored so far is the one for the work glorifying torture and murder.
