Yeah, I don't like reporting someone a few hours after they got unbanned, but all the same issues they had prior to being banned are still there

I don't want to accuse them of lying in their EPs, but given their prior history of getting facts egregiously wrong on other EPs they tried to push forward (in addition to the demonizing language used, which I'm still seeing in these latest posts) it is suspect that when someone asked for clarification on the redeeming quality in the character (their loyalty to another character being a motivating factor for some of their crimes,) they first tried to deny it was sincere and then tried to claim it wasn't a part of the show at all and they'd "unintentionally" put it in their effortpost.

The second EP they've posted apparently also had this mistake of them insisting the person's love for another character wasn't sincere because of their heinous qualities, which someone who'd watched the show immediately said was not true.

Ninja'd: Okay yeah, that's three examples of (potential in one case) misinformation in their writeups.

Also of note is that apparently their proposal for another character was actually really inaccurate, vastly overinflating how bad he was and outright making stuff up

I'm going in good faith that they misinterpreted the details of the Godzilla episode but they do need to take steps to ensure more accuracy in their posts, as over half the Complete Monster entry was just incorrect and their most recent post is delving back into the outright hostility that we ultimately had to bring them to mod attention for last time. I'm getting worried the message about what to improve wasn't absorbed.

Edit: Spilling over into other tropes we might wanna look at the Nightmare Fuel entries for Godzilla and plot edits, as it seems some have been done that lean on making the villain seem worse than they really are.

For the Dawn of the Seeker entry, it's mostly accurate, only it's less of a Big Bad Ensemble and more of a Big Bad Triumvirate, the Ultraman definitely needs to be removed, that's just an agenda based edit, while I don't know on The Scrappy entries

It's so obvious that they spammed edit reasons at random. IDK about the legitimacy of The Scrappy entries, but it's definitely not a ZCE, doesn't contain natter... and they certainly didn't make a "null edit". I'm almost willing to revert it on the basis of edit reason misuse alone. It feels almost like vandalism.

I'd personally revert The Scrappy manga edit on the basis of their mis-information ladened CM entries, if anything.
