Is this really a trope?

Consensus says that this is a Trivia Trope.

Hm. It's already tagged as a trivia trope... I suppose Just for Fun suits it best. Or we could specify that it's creator-specific.

Concurring with LT here.

Same as Umbire.

Though I find its existence suspicious and related to the worship of celebrities, which I found repulsive in both a moral and personal level, it's trivia and it will not polute the main pages with irrelevant information about how this random celebrity it's "totally like one of us guys"!

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

...thanks for the input?

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

I asked for the input, knowing how HornyLikeIAmA14YearOldGirl has given similar input in the past.

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

I'm more puzzled by the rhetoric of "polluting the main pages" and projecting their moral repulsions onto it.

HLIAA14YOG (talkcontribs)

I just want normal pages to be devoid of irrelevant celebrity stuff. I found that both annoying and weirdly reminiscent of cults like Scientology. I have seen people genuinely worship Ewan McGregor for playing Obi-Wan on a movie and that made me very paranoid that this celebrity worship is reaching "if I say jump, you say how high" levels of mind control.

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

You consider it personally irrelevant, doesn't mean it's irrelevant to others - far more importantly, you shouldn't conflate acknowledgements of celebrity and the way they connect with their audience with worship thereof.

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

All I can do there is refer to ATT:1WAY.

I'm with LT

Only three hours and it looks like we already have consensus... but let's leave this running for a day just in case.

I think I like keeping it as trivia trope. That said, I am more resistant to change than I should be.

Utini501 (talkcontribs)

Trivia works best, I'd say. A bit late to the party, but hey: may as well weigh in.

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

No worries, I think we all agreed to about as much anyway.
