Imperial Court Mage
I feel like this entire page needs some clean-up work since while I can understand if the point was to point out people overreacting, the point is very specifically on the religious stuff in particular and many editors have taken the page a bit off coarse. And it honestly does seem like people are using this to complain about Political Correctness Gone Mad and subsequently "the SJWS/feminists" or whatever

The laconic says "Finding morally objectionable content where it may not actually exist", which can apply to both sides of the political spectrum.
Somebody removed the term "fundie" because it is supposedly a slur for fundamentalists. This is going overboard. We could also no longer use the words "commies" or even "nazi" since those words are technically "slurs" for communists and members of the German National Socialist Party. We also have an entire trope page that uses this slur freely.

What happens if you find a work where everyone actually IS satan in hell? :P
Also, could the writers calm down a bit here? It seems like someone was a bit angry while writing this.

So...I'm not the only person who thinks so? Yes, I think it's possible to have a work where everyone really is Satan in Hell, but I'm guessing most people for whatever reason get on the defensive when they hear that. Some accusations of this are very ridiculous, erroneous, and possibly a Poe's Law deal, but yeah, someone was very mad while writing this. They have to take a serious chill pill.

Um, is "turning you Christian" linking to Too Dumb to Live supposed to mean Christians are too dumb to live? That's not nice.

Actually, no, is pointing that thinking that just reading something with angels and demons will automatically turn you Christian is dumb. The example is purely anecdotal tough, so YMMV if is appropriated or not. Your comment, however, looks like a pretty good example of this trope I must say.

That is not what Too Dumb To Live means.

Wow, really Sui Caedere? I dunno, maybe that wasn't the intent of the previous editor who potlinked "turning you Christian" to Too Dumb to Live, but it still kind of made me wince. Imagine if it referred to any other religion, and then tell me if such assumptions are "this trope".
Would the Angry Video Game Nerd's Super Mario Bros. 3 "analysis" count?

i agree with the person below me that this trope is used as a complaining magnet. some of the examples seem to directly attack people themselves. i think a TRS thread for this trope would be nice.
