Topic on All The Tropes talk:Why Fork TV Tropes

Concur. We cover everything from Sesame Street to Mein Kampf. While the latter is noxious, vile, and about a hideous ideology the world the is better off without, denying it's existence or censoring it's contents would be to the detriment of our goals of academic freedom and discussion. As for the words at hand, I see no issue with them in the context @HornyLikeIAmA14YearOldGirl has described and frankly concur with their take.

@Umbire the Phantom I want to make clear I am not blind to your concerns, I do understand the risks you are bringing up, but in this case, the context is clear and just because others off this wiki may find it offensive, that alone is not grounds for preventing certain usages of terms unless they break an on-site policy, and I do not see, at present, any policy that is currently being broken, especially since I had a hand in writing much of it.

As for wanting to sanitize terms from an era which, as you described, is one you feel should be moved past, fair point, but by that standard, one would have to sanitize the writings of Mark Twain because of his use of words considered vile racial slurs today that were largely acceptable in his day. Values change over time, and just because some things are offensive now, that does mean it's an excuse to retroactively censor things on the grounds of contemporary offense, we need firmer cause it has caused actual harm, mere "it rubs me the wrong way" is not sufficient.
