@Carlb: This is another case where your changes, while generally welcome, are inappropriate. These are the words of other tropers, and if one chooses to identify using a term you think is outdated, then so be it -- you don't get to correct their usage.
Similarly, in 2014 a bot automatically updated that troper's words in a way that made no sense in order to change links to a page which had been renamed, and I have just undone those changes as well for the same reasons.
The rule of thumb to remember here is that if the text is a quote from a work, or it's the expressed thoughts of another person, user or not (as opposed to the unspecific third-person voice of the wiki), do not make changes to fix "outdated" language. Ok?
Thanks.
