Special:Badtitle/NS90:Forum:Trope Talk/Cleaning up of questionable tropes/reply (6)

Glad to have you with us, Miller215.

In all seriousness, I do think your position does have merit. Not every black person who has gotten remotely angry should be characterized as an Angry Black Man, but it would be a fair description for one who is predisposed to act that way as a default character trait. Applying it unilaterally does come off as racist or at the very least very ignorantly stereotypical.

Also, I agree, some tropes are very much misused, and I've even been guilty of that, so I happily concede you have a point we should be more careful what tropes we apply, lest our troping come off as us just trying to fill a badly shoehorned quota rather than accurately summing up characters and the patterns in media.

Finally, I do have one request, though: While the page moves are very much appreciated, please go back over the category tags and correct them (page moves do not correct category tags) to the new page name. Don't worry if this leaves red links, I run a bot every so often to fill in the blanks. (I also recommend use of the HotCat gadget, enabled in your user preferences, to speed things up).
