Thanks. I didn't look closely enough at the counts and the comment wasn't exactly helpful.
Yes, I think we can drop the tag.

The anonymous contributor seems to be more interested in admonishing us than communicating clearly. I assume the point being made is that the counts for デスパレート were artificially inflated in 2007 by the name of the TV show.

Judging by the results on twitter, the two forms might be equally common. I wouldn't mind dropping the [rk] tag.

Those n-grams are for デスパレート. Only デスペレート is tagged as rare.
