Actually, I'm pretty sure the first thing you need is somewhere to put the thing and someone to run it.
Then, if people actually start using the place, you need some way to pay for it.
These strike me as non-trivial issues.
Edit: As for that email... Eh. I'm pretty sure I know who that is at tvtropes. And while I kind of agree with him on a number of things, I also don't think I'd call that a fair account of things. I don't particularly believe this person was actually trolling, but there was definitely an abrasive feel to that particular post, and I really got a feeling of someone in wants-to-be-offended mode. I know the P5 members don't seem like quite such demonic figures when I'm talking to them. Which is not to say that there aren't some... shall we say, overzealous people around. Who are getting told to stop doing that regularly enough.
As for this bias... citation needed, as they say. I can't find anything in the lists that seems to match those parameters, but I'm also not familiar with everything on them. I know the most recent actions on anime that I've noticed were stuff being kept or brought back. And most of the visual novels seem to be sticking around too. (Seems to be a fair amount of manga getting cut, but there's only one title I've spotted that really feels like a "just because".)
I also gotta say that I'm really not comfortable with the idea of authors just casually suppressing people who are talking about their work.
