I'm not even going to pretend to be neutral here

Remember, this is just my perspective on events.

The head mod of TV Tropes, Fast Eddie, was absolutely obsessed with rooting out pedophiles and Something Awful members (which he seemed to think were the same thing.) If you didn't approve of his witch hunt for pedophiles, you were clearly a pedophile apologist.

He announced a new rule about when pages about fictional works should be deleted, intended to purge any works that were basically just pedophile porn. I observed that the letter of the law would delete Lolita, and he'd said in the past that Lolita would be protected. I said that I wanted to see some protections for other stories that were like Lolita, but weren't as famous or well-respected. Another poster chimed in asking to please not delete Lolita.

Fast Eddie said that Lolita was pedophile porn and the only people who ever brought it up were pedophiles. He deleted the Lolita page and replaced it with a page saying that TV Tropes didn't cover porn. Then he went on a mass purge of "porn," including every single entry on the H-Game index. (This was how Fate Stay Night was briefly deleted as porn.) The resultant flame war lasted for months and led to the banning or departure of at least twenty people, including myself.
