That's not Nausea Fuel then. It might be a Vomit Discretion Shot or Vomit Indiscretion Shot. Or maybe we need a new trope for people puking from motion sickness.

Nausea Fuel is "fills the viewer with the urge to vomit and reach for the Brain Bleach." The viewer. It's not an in-universe thing.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
just to be clear, i didn't cut it, i just moved it to the YMMV tab. (wow, you people are fast!)
i haven't done an in-depth check on the tropes i'm moving, just moving them if the trope has the banner (planning to do a thorough check later) but from the way you put it, yeah, it does seem like it shouldn't fit under this trope. Nausea Fuel, just like Nightmare Fuel, Fetish Fuel and such others, is about a certain situation inspiring that feeling in the audience. so if you're using it in-universe, yes, there should probably be a different trope for that. i would go with the ones fighteer suggested, personally.
(EDIT: but now that i think about it, i'm not sure how much of an "in-universe" there is in reality shows... i mean, these people are real people, so it's clearly Nausea Fuel to them...)

Hi
*forehead smack* I forgot about Vomit Indiscretion Shot...that's exactly what that material would need to be moved to.
Nausea Fuel was recently cut from the Mythbusters page, ostensibly because of the "no subjective tropes on works pages" ruling. However, the show has frequently featured material that involves the hosts getting sick on camera, which the example list cited as in-universe Nausea Fuel. Is there another trope that would adequately cover that and not be counted as a subjective?
