A comment on Flanderization.

I don't know about TV Tropes "coining" the concept, I had already discussed this 5+ years ago wrt to computers and we even had a pitch for the "Flanders Threshold"

I'd accept that Flanders Computing is an offshoot of the overall much-later-coined flanderization process.

'Flanderization' as a term was on TV Tropes as early as 2006:
