Category:This Index is Banned

This is an index of tropes and works that deal with bans and other similar prohibitions, in-universe and otherwise. This category is not exclusively for banned media, though large segments of tropes and discussions centered around bans are tied in some way to banned media.

Compare:

• That Which Must Not Be Indexed, for when you can't even mention the banned subject in question.
• Tropes About Taboos, a super-category that deals with common targets of banning and the reasoning behind it.

Compare and contrast:

• Censorship Tropes, which usually deals with 'partial' removals or editing of content rather than banning the work wholesale, but can still overlap especially in more severe cases.
• Help! Help! This Index Is Being Repressed!, which is about methods of suppressing citizen rights.
• The Index Is Watching You, which covers methods of surveillance for the purpose of preventing forbidden or subversive activity.
