I thought I\\\'d made it clear that I was opposed? It feels tone-deaf to me, in that it ignores the atmosphere of all Indian Jones works in which German villains appear, and the historical context in which the works are placed. In \\\"Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade\\\" IJ does not say \\\"Germans! I hate these guys!\\\", he says \\\"Nazis! I hate these guys!\\\" Essentially, saying that a trope page on IJ works must not use a word that the works do not hesitate to use, strikes me as treating \\\"Nazi\\\" as a \\\"naughty word\\\", and snipping out naughty words is the essence of Bowdlerising.
More generally, is the idea that we should erase \\\"Nazi\\\" from every trope page where it is used to mean something other than *specifically* a member of the political party? And rename all the tropes that include the word? Presumably your argument would apply there too, but it would be a lot of work, and a policy change that should be discussed, not just slipped in unilaterally with no edit-reason.
