Hidden, sent a notifier.
Etrebamort is a relatively new troper, so if there's anything of note in their edit history, it may be worth a separate message or report.

Memetic Mutation entries generally have the explanation in a note named explanation so they're not ZCE but also Don't Explain the Joke.
The problem was that this example didn't have any note markup. It would have been appreciated in this case.
Anyway, the example's been commente dout again and that will hopefully suffice for now.

On YMMV.Gravity, Etrebamort added a Memetic Mutation example that didn't have any sort of context. I commented out the example and sent them a ZCE notifier. They responded by saying (I'm paraphrasing here) that adding context would lean into Don't Explain the Joke, and then made the example visible again while potholing it to From Bad to Worse.
I'm posting this query to ask for permission to comment out the example again. Without context, an example just shouldn't be visible at all, regardless of what kind of joke it would ruin with it.
