"I think you're trying to defend a site known for banning articles because of their sexual content"

...by pointing out that you're undermining your own argument?

I mean I figured you'd immediately and predictably act defensive, but come off it. If the evidence is on your side you shouldn't have to use something as clearly subjective as "TVT won't let us call moms hot" that doesn't stand up to the slightest application of scrutiny - especially not when we've literally had problems with editors typing one-handed on here to the detriment of actual troping as recently as the last month (the name "Xander Martin" should ring a bell for much older editors in the know).

"This set of tropes was likely made into disambiguations to stop people overusing it for any and every character they personally found hot" is logic that neither defends TVT's administrative miscues nor requires such a defense - on top of it all, trying to shoot down any amount of introspection as Defending The Enemy™ is crass factionalism that reflects poorly on the shooter and justifies the entire reason I did this in the first place.

As I did when I alluded to this three years ago, I would think people so vocally critical of TVT were well above the attitude of "criticism for thee but not for me".
