Tv Tropes also tend to get smug over their "WMG's": On a YA Science Fiction series "The Pendragon Adventures" they made a WMG that the main character Bobby was in a coma all along and it's "The popular theory", disregarding canon and a fan wiki that wasn't updated.
Oh, and they made Luna Lovegood their Patron Goddess of WMG. Speaking of Harry Potter, ALL of the books there are complete with YMMV, and WMG pages.

Also: I hate how they put fictional characters into Pantheons, and have "Chie help Sayaka kill Kyuubey" on their pages. To me, it's like part of a process into buying body pillows/ subscribing to Waifuism.

TV Tropes Pantheon is a clear example of how taking a shitpost too seriously can go horribly wrong

Well spoilers for the ending of the series.
The friends of Narnia group receive a vision that the last king is in trouble and are on a train to look for a way to get there and help him.

Well the train crashes but they are yanked to Narnia anyway where they participate in narnian apocalypse.

Susan is mentioned as no longer believing in Narnia so she's obviously not on the train at the time.

A LOT of the story is actually fairly vague on this point and up to interpretation. Like were the main cast bodily transported to Narnia to save them from the train crash or did they die and their souls were taken to there? Was it an accident or perhaps the machinations of the book's satanic figure to cut off allies from the good guys?

So many "problem of Susan" focus on the tragedy aspect of "she lost her family in a train crash!" Like dumbass - the ENTIRE SAGA in publish order with Lion, Witch and Wardrobe as the start begins DURING a little event called WORLD WAR 2. The children were literally sent to Professor Diggory in the hopes of saving them from BOMBING RUNS on British cities! In the book Magician's Nephew the original White Witch is revealed to have GENOCIDED HER ENTIRE WORLD with the magical super-nuke equivalent of "power word: kill-all."

Yeah, this is sort of a series for children, but it is still one with dark and bleak moments. Tragedies still happen. Those that complain a train crash is excessively cruel makes me wonder if they actually read the books or just tried to ignore the dark parts.

I should also add: Both Aslan and the White Witch were completely OOC in this.
There's even a fan theory that the White Witch was pregnant since the first book and her daughter is the Green Witch. Also since book 1 she has hated Aslan because his magic was more powerful than hers and she wanted to destroy it.

Alsan himself can scratch a 12 year old girl's back to teach her a lesson, but I sincerely doubt he's that willing to relish eating his followers/believers

He scratched Eustace free of his dragon curse.

Anyway, I'd bet money Gaiman went a little autistic over this quote from the Silver Chair (my favorite book of the series btw) and decided to make it super literal.

"Do you eat girls?" she said.​
"I have swallowed up girls and boys, women and men, kings and emperors, cities and realms," said the Lion. It didn't say this as if it were boasting, nor as if it were sorry, nor as if it were angry. It just said it.​

I agree. He went ham on that and probably requested the artist to make Aslan a furry for the disgusting sex scene.

I believe that was a Nightmare squence for the girl Susan was telling the story to.

Besides the often prurient and sleazy nature of those sort of scenes, I'm not really a fan of that sort of audience manipulation — it feels cheap to me.

The overproduction of midwits and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

I wouldn't want to censor romance stuff because you know damn well it would be disproportionately applied to LGBT romance. - mightymewtron

The worst person you know just made a great point.

Honestly I'm afraid to go to the "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" TV Tropes page due to their long pages on every main character, including DIO.
Oh btw: They made a WMG Zack of "Saved by the Bell" is one of DIO's illegitimate sons inheriting hair, attitude, charisma and Za Warudo
Edit: DIO is in the Pantheon as "Manipulator of Flow of Time". Sorry for the demotion, DIO. :(
