Two caveats:
1) I'm inclined to be more generous on YMMV pages than on main pages - after all, they're specifically there for matters of opinion.
2) I'm Canadian, so my default "centrist" position is somewhat to the left of the default "centrist" position in the USA.
My thoughts:
Kit n Kay Boodle/YMMV: It's a YMMV page and that was somebody's opinions that he cut. Put it back.
Game_of_Thrones/YMMV: Keep "* [[Draco in Leather Pants]: Various characters, but Cersei probably gets it the most. There are a significant portion of female viewers who look on her as a ''feminist icon and role model''.", drop the italics on the last three words and ".. which probably says a lot more about those viewers than it does about Cersei, really." Then also change "There are a significant portion of female viewers" to "Some viewers" for readability and to remove the gender bias.
The_Patriot/YMMV: Again, it's a YMMV page and those were somebody's opinions that he cut. Put it all back.
Mary Sue Classic: Drop "special snowflake" and "steps in and", keep the rest.
Just Shoot Me/YMMV: It's a YMMV page and that's his opinion. It doesn't need to be in two bullets, though.
Opinion Myopia: "And sincerely held, of course, by the real" is a danger signal. How does he know what's believed by the character, what's believed by the public persona, and what's believed by the real person? Cite it all or drop it all.
M*A*S*H (television): DHBirr's suggested fix should suffice.
Mulan/YMMV: I think it's redundant - there's already a bullet point about the Xiongnu - but the Huns were demonized by the Chinese as much as they were demonized by the Europeans. And it's a YMMV page. Leave it in, maybe consolidated with the Xiongnu bullet-point.
I'm still at work, and these are only my opinions, so I won't make the changes just yet. I won't complain if somebody makes them before me, though.
EDIT: I missed that he had also deleted some entries from Mulan/YMMV. I've rolled those back and re-added (with attribution) the part I suggested leaving in... and I've made all the other edits listed above as well.
RE-EDIT: And we might want to add something like this to the rotating/random banners that pop up on edit pages:
