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

First, welcome to All The Tropes! :)

As to the topic at hand, while I'm not sure I support an unilateral cutting of examples on "offensiveness" alone, I can agree many of these need a cleanup and examples that are written in an offensive manner or do not address the trope well enough need fixed.

For instance, I believe one can objectively quantify an "Action Girl". For instance, while Princess Toadstool is the Damsel in Distress in many mainline Mario games, she has taken on an action role in others, such as some of the roleplaying games and crossovers like Super Smash Brothers.

In that regard, I don't see an issue with tropes being used to describe these characters and their roles, though I concur simply making lists with context or explanation is a bad idea, and any obvious sexism should be removed from examples.
