With genre shifts, the term “trap” has been basketball slam dunked into the trashcan. There was an entire wiki called “anime traps”, but it was closed since it was essentially making fun of people which isn't a nice thing to do: “Someone is biologically male, but they look like ‘a girl’, let’s laugh at them. Oh and they are not people worthy of respect, they are deceptive and out to trap us, how awful!” is the rather unpleasant vibe it was presenting.

It is wonderfully delightful fun to pull the rug out from under prejudice and watch it topple. Should it appear again, mentions of the trap term would be removed for the same reason defamatory racial related language would be. That and it’s not fair that people could say: “oh look, on the Seraph of the End Wiki they are making fun of people for looking a certain way”, which is nonsense since everyone is so nice here!
