Remove Shrek's Fear manipulation from his profile

Shrek doesn't have fear manipulation. People who are able to skillfully scare others are called social influencers. Shrek doesn't use anything like fear gas or supernatural powers to scare, so why does he have this again?

I aim on having this removed from his profile and others for similar reasons.

There are some characters similar to this category and don't always connect well with say social influencing.
 
Agree.

It also literally says on the page for Fear Manipulation that this sort of thing would be Social Influencing.

A prerequisite for Fear Manipulation is also that it has to be supernatural according to the page.

This applies to shrek though. He isn't using a neurological attack or anything special, he's just yelling and he's ugly. Should we upgrade Donkey to have resistance to fear manipulation because Shrek doesn't scare him? Seems a bit ridiculous.

I agree, it should just go away.
Shrek 4 make it pretty clear that it's just social influencing.
I forgot about this fact. People were actually begging for him to roar because they're fans of him, and when he did they ended up cheering.

I wanna see someone argue against this removal. If CRT ends without this removal, I'm curious as to who else gets fear manipulation.
 
Agree. According to the page:

"It should be noted simply terrorizing the opponent either by authority, strength or demeanour only would qualify as Social Influencing, as Fear Manipulation would allow the user to inflict fear regardless of these factors."

So, what Shrek is doing. He scares mobs away because he's big and ugly, that's it.
