Speaking of the band, they have an harsher in hindsight page for Chester's suicide. It's mostly about the lyrics.

Eh, that's actually the kind of thing where the "Harsher In Hindsight" trope would actually be an apt description instead of just autistic whining.

Linkin Park were always kind of mocked as peak edgelord, where the emo kids, edgy mall goths, and the Naruto fans and skaters all kind of intersected. They were also the one iconic nu-metal band that managed to survive the genre's unofficial death date of 2003, and that got them a lot of flak in later years.

Chester's suicide seemingly coming out of nowhere does make their edgy angsty lyrics seem a little more genuine at times.

Again, tropers are always going to be complete spergs about it. But I could at least see a normal non-sperg thinking the memes mocking Linkin Park could be a little harsh after their lead singer died, especially when it was still in the news cycle.

I found this song to be a harsher in hindsight for linking park. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vst1Z76gIY4

So here's a bit of irony found on the trivia page for Duckman.

Perhaps the rest of TV Tropes should take a hint.

This is very much "old growth" TV Tropes from the looks of it.

TV Tropes is one of those wikis where you can easily tell if an article was written or last edited before or after the complete SJW takeover.

I get the feeling that entry was probably drafted in 2011-2013 when SJW culture was in its more nascent stages and largely confined to the internet or maybe early 2014 where it was becoming more noticeable (especially in the geek spaces most Tropers come from) but GG hadn't started yet.

Rational Wiki has that to a slightly lesser extent, where some of their articles on junk science and medical quackery are pretty good, but everything else has become pure cancer.

It was only good to be subversive when they were attacking white Christian conservatives.

Duckman is very much from the era when the Christian Right was the dominant moral authority and were widely detested by anyone who wasn't a redneck or a neocon opportunist but they still had enough pull in certain sectors of society and were the dominant clique within the GOP

The trope entry is probably from the early 2010's when SJW's were just getting started and a lot of people didn't fully grasp how bad it would get and more or less dismissed it as a brief Tumblr fad.

Or maybe it is a post-"Current Year" trope entry and whomever put it in there was clever enough to avoid drawing the ire of the mods. Duckman's pretty obscure so I'm sure it's below the radar of the SJW's on TV Tropes
 
Surprise, surprise, it was added in late-March of this year.

But I have one question, did they actually pulled him off the stage in that episode?

But who the heck is getting their moral viewpoints from Duckman of all characters?

I don't think anyone is. I think the trope entry in question was just a link to a Duckman clip that made fun of the 90's "PC" liberalism fad and how the best comedy is usually subversive and never concerned with being "politically correct"

The clip in question is eerily relevant nowadays
