This is something that has bugged be for a while. Why the hell do people think that it's O.K. to add objective tropes there just beacuse they think that its subjective? I've seen Bad Ass in YMMV tabs before. People seem to think that something goes in YMMV just beacuse they thin they are the only person that noticed it. Can I get some help?

Aren't you supposed to set the YMMV tabs so that they highlight neutral tropes or something?

What pages have you been seeing it on?

What I would do is put it back, edit reason being that the trope isn't YMMV. If they put it back, then either go to discussion to see why they think it's YMMV or redirect them to the thread of all of the YMMV guesswork.

We...do have a thread for the purpose of that, right? Maybe?

Ask The Tropers can be used to report issues of people edit warring over examples and ignoring requests to discuss.

Wasn't Badass in the YMMV index for a while?

Yes, it was. I might have mistakenly added it in a few YMMV tabs at one point, but I moved it back.

Thumped for switching the discussion from the topic to a person.
