Sandbox / Pages Attracting Edits That Promote Bigotry

Go To

The pages listed here are considered likely targets for agenda-based edits that may promote bigotry. This page is intended as a resource to help tropers monitor them.

Some works may attract this attention because they are actively promoting bigotry - or because their creators are associated with other works that appear to promote bigotry. The Troping Works That Promote Bigotry thread exists to help tropers manage these situations.

In other cases works may become a target for agenda-based edits regardless of their own perspective and the creators' point of view (trope pages may be targeted in the same way). With that in mind, the presence of a work or trope on this page is not always intended to imply that it's bigoted or problematic.

Where work-specific cleanup threads exist, they will be listed below alongside the relevant works.

Where no work-specific thread exists, cleanup should be handled as part of the main Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment (ROCEJ) thread.

This list does not include pages that have already been cut and added to the Permanent Red Link Club. It doesn't include long-term locked pages either (as they can only be updated by mods, they don't have the same risk of problematic edits).

NOTE: This list is not set up as an index - and that was a deliberate choice. Please don't create one.


Tropes

  • Eurabia: Portrays an Islamic Europe, a theme some real anti-immigrant extremists have used in political campaigns. The trope itself is valid, but some works use it to fuel bigotry.

Works

Comic Books

Film — Live Action

  • The Birth of a Nation (1915): Glorifies the KKK and demonizes African Americans.
  • Jew Süss (1940): A Nazi propaganda film made during the Third Reich.
  • Lady Ballers: A transphobic sports comedy film created by a conservative news website. Has attracted edits saying the movie's message is "correct" or "objective fact".
  • Triumph of the Will: A Nazi propaganda film made during the Third Reich.

Literature

Live Action TV

  • X-Play: Several episodes have bigoted and stereotypical skits regarding Japanese people and game developers, with the page having been edited to downplay/excuse this.

Tabletop Games

Video Games

  • Ethnic Cleansing: Video game equivalent of The Turner Diaries.
  • Guilty Gear -STRIVE-: Contains a transfeminine character who for the longest period of the Guilty Gear series' history identified as a cross-dressing man. Despite the initial controversy surrounding her change in character dying down, a small but persistent section of the Guilty Gear fanbase still refuses to gender her correctly and some do occasionally try to sneak complaining or misinformation about her onto it and the related pages.
  • KZ Manager: Glorifies the role of Third Reich concentration camps.
  • Stellar Blade: While the game itself is relatively innocuous, it has become championed by right-wing gaming pundits and more reactionary gamers as an "anti-censorship, anti-woke" game because of its Third-Person Seductress protagonist who is supposedly more attractive than other female characters in modern games, which has attracted general one-handed troping as well as dangerously ROCEJ-treading edits on the YMMV page.

Webcomics

  • Billy the Heretic: Webcomic equivalent of The Turner Diaries.
  • Get Schooled: Bases many episodes on real-life prejudice, including bigoted portrayal of mixed race Korean that got its English release pulled. Has edits that downplay its controversies.
  • Hypergamouse: Webcomic proclaiming all women to be gold diggers and other bad stereotypes, such as dominance being an inherently horrible quality for a woman.
  • Midnight's War: by Vox Day
  • Silenziosa: by Vox Day.
  • Sinfest: Originally a non-controversial webcomic, it later became a soapbox for extreme misandrist, transphobic, and antisemitic views. Has its own cleanup thread.

Websites

  • Arkhaven: Another Vox Day project.
  • Babylon Bee: A lot of this website's jokes are made at the expense of LGBTQ+ people, both in their articles and videos.

Creators

  • Vox Day: Controversial far-right author known to be a central figure in various alt-Right controversies, including Rabid Puppies, Comicsgate and Gamergate.
