Does \\\"Introducing Team Siren\\\" qualify? Almost everyone seems to think it\\\'s cringeworthy.

* Team Siren, an ill-fated all-female \\\'\\\'VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends\\\'\\\' team, tried to make a good first impression with their introduction video \\\'\\\'\\\'[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Gz9um3wV1o Introducing Team Siren]]\\\'\\\'\\\'. Unfortunately, it backfired. The video oversells their skills and promotes them as the first all-female team, which is incorrect. The attempts at seriousness come across as fake and corny, with two of the more infamous moments being the pointless shooting range scenes (clearly a forced attempt to make them look badass) and the cheesy scene where Solvanas says she\\\'ll \\\"bait you and outsmart you\\\" before [[SmartPeoplePlayChess moving a chess piece]]. [[CreatorBacklash Even the girls themselves dislike the video]].

Edit: Does this count as a promotion so it can go here, or is it still a web video (a type of media that has been banned from the Horrible namespace)?

However, the neutral-to-positive use of queer on TV Tropes isn\\\'t going to get addressed through a discussion here, and changing it on TV Tropes won\\\'t change it for the world at large.
