They want to cancel Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete in the West

TV Tropes is a website that serves as a sort of collaborative encyclopedia on narrative conventions and recurring elements in popular culture, especially in mediums such as movies, TV shows, literature, comics, video games, and more. The term "trope" refers to recurring narrative elements, clichés, character archetypes, plot twists, and any other elements that storytellers use consistently.

TV Tropes is known for its casual style and humorous tone, making it entertaining to read even for those who aren't interested in critical narrative analysis. However, its extensive database and active community make it a valuable tool for writers, critics, and hobbyists who want to better understand how stories work and what conventions are used in different genres and mediums.

They want to cancel Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete in the West

And why are we talking about this site? Well, because a few hours ago it was reported that all the information about the anime "Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete (Gushing over Magical Girls)" has been removed for violating the site's usage regulations. Interestingly, TV Tropes has a "transparency policy", and there is a forum where we can see all the exchange of opinions of the site's moderators before deciding to remove the series:

If you look at the guidelines set out on the rules and procedures page of the Content Infringement Discussions forum, for "Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete" we will be guided by the four criteria listed in the "What we're looking for" section:
Pure porn, or porn with a plot only – (NO) The manga has a rather complex plot that parodies the traditional tropes of the magical girl genre, albeit with a lot of raunchy fanservice and the occasional sex scene, and in some respects fanservice is used to advance the plot.
Anything that has explicit sex with underage girls – (YES) The main characters and most of their rivals are 14 years old and repeatedly engage in explicit sexual activities that are used as fanservice. The only saving grace, if it can be called that, is that it's softcore porn.
Implied sex of tweens or minors – (NO, DEBATABLE) Nero Alice (Morino Korisu) is nine years old, but she tends to avoid getting involved in hentai ecchi and softcore shenanigans, instead using her powers to make it easier for others to engage in such shenanigans, usually following Baiser Magic's instructions, with Leopard trying (and often failing) to keep her distracted from observing what's going on. The times she's directly involved in racy situations are usually when she disguises herself to look like adult using her powers — when she "plays nurse" with Utena and takes off Magenta Magic's (Haruka Hanabishi) skirt and panties, when she pees while "playing house" — and when she joins in spanking the exposed butt of one of the other girls.
Fanservice aimed at satisfying pedophiles (lolicon and shotacon fanservice can count) – (YES) A debatable example, but Magic Sulfur (Kaoruko Tenkawa) and Leberblume (Nemo Anemo) are flat-chested 14-year-old girls who continue to be subjected to the same kind of risqué antics as the more "mature" looking girls, and participate in several of the show's occasional explicit sex scenes. While Tanaka Michiko is a 20-year-old woman and looks her age in her civilian form and as a Huge Lord, Baiser Magic visualizes her as a child, strips her naked, and whips her to defeat her; and in her form La Verità – which she regularly uses to go undercover as the magical girl Imitatio (Imita Shion) – she looks like a pre-teen, but is still used for fanservice.

As we can see, the site classified "Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete (Gushing over Magical Girls)" as a series with "explicit sexual content with minors" and with "fanservice aimed at satisfying pedophiles", quite extreme assertions. However, it seems that the decision is final, so there is no way that the series will be included in this encyclopedia again.

Now, the most worrying thing would be, what other sites could come to the same conclusion and remove the series from their catalogs? And what's worse, what other series could go through the same fate?

"In the meantime, Bakemonogatari is still available on that site."
"I mean, it's an anime about high school girls who are constantly naked. It's not the best thing for any mainstream site."
"Isn't the show that focuses on sexually assaulting underage girls? Literally Utena and all the other girls are like 14 years old, so it's normal for ordinary people to consider it child pornography."
"So, is a series that can legally be watched on Crunchyroll child pornography? Sure..."
"Oh yes, of course, the site where Fate/Kaleid liner Prisma Illya is still available."
"TV Tropes has removed many mature stories or removed them from their website. And yet, there are some stories that are very dark and very serialized that remain intact in TV Tropes. The website needs to mature and stop censoring good stories."
"Oh yes, the classic "this anime shows fake boobs of high school girls, therefore it's child pornography." There's a reason why nowadays I only check TVTropes when I'm looking for information and literally have no choice. It's not that different from Tumblr."
"I still enjoy using TV Tropes, but over the years I've noticed some pretty questionable changes that I don't really agree with, like the removal of entire tropes and pages that were considered inappropriate or too nebulous to be useful, or something like that. This is the latest victim."
"Every ecchi anime that has a high school setting does this. Like they're going to be fanatics, they have to go all the way."
"I went to check the Tsugumomo page out of curiosity and they deleted all the manga tropes. I don't know what's the point of that, unless they're implying that everything manga does is that lewd. I'm sure a simple summary of the plot wouldn't burn the eyes of the poor children."
"I mean, I think it's lolicon stuff. Not all of it, but a good part of it. More and more platforms are saying no to all things lolicon. Soon it looks like only Twitter will allow it."
"There are times when I see something like this and I feel an irrepressible urge to try to get them to purge everything else that is just as bad or worse. I don't really want them to, of course, but I also want to see what happens. I want to be petty."
