Diseased TV Tropes community

I found this ...bizarre... rant while browsing the Monster High pages. I don't understand it either.
Monster High may get banned for ignoring certain moral values.
Apparently, Mattel would rather encourage popping pills than vegan werewolves.
  • While all the werewolves eat meat, Draculaura is a vegan and a hemophobic! Because vegetables and fruit don't provide ANY nutritional values to vampires, Draculaura overdoses on Iron Supplements. However, many parents, and poison control experts, believe that nutritional supplement abuse is very serious. Maybe Mattel would take a lesson from Saban, at least his vampier consumes the right things.
  • Many of us, who have seen werewolf carnage, are greatly disgusted by it. And since werewolves DO NOT have bloodlust, some of us wished that they were vegetarians if they were to be part of a series aimed at kids. But those idea geeks at Mattel don't like having ANY werewolf not eating meat, it may be the reason why Clawdeen Wolf's Freaky Fusion was with Plant monster girl, Venus Mc Flytrap! That way, Clawdeen, after being fused with plant life, will not wanna eat stuff other than meat. And many parents find that the one type of meat that werewolves prefer is human meat, which would mean a werewolf is not appropriate for children's entertainment, unless they are vegetarian
  • In other words Vegan Werewolves are more moral than Vegan Vampires!

I think that what they're trying to say summarizes to this:
  • Portraying vampires who use artificial substitutes instead of drinking blood is problematic because overdosing on nutritional supplements can be a problem in real life.
  • Using werewolfs for vegan representation wouldn't have this problem because werewolf myths doesn't require them to eat meat in the same way that vampire myths requires vampires to drink blood.
  • Since Monster High has a vegan vampire instead of the less problematic vegan werewolf, the line needs to be canceled.
Disclaimer: I know literally nothing about this thing other than what's written in that mess of a rant and the show's wikipedia page.

Thanks. It's still dumb and moralfaggy though. (The author also had a fit when someone rightly tried to remove it)

Behold, a Family Guy DMoS so spergy and toxic even the mods were disgusted by it.
** Tropers/SnowyWolf: For this troper, bringing the dog back is the show's MoralEventHorizon. Bri – no. [[ItIsDehumanizing It]] doesn’t deserve a name – none of them do! They are the fatass, the slut, the bastard, the bitch, the runt and the dog. That's all any of these one-dimensional caricatures deserve anymore. Anyway, the dog died, and no one demanded otherwise. It has no redeeming qualities, no likability at all, and pretty much deserved to die. As a cancerous cherry on the blatantly poisonous cake, the people randomly decide pretend that they give a rat's ass about the dog and it's well-deserved death. Then they brought it back. Not only did they pull this stunt for some cheap rating trap (and getting our hopes up in the process), but they totally retcon it in the next episode. This is unforgivable. These “writers” are dried for ideas, desperate, lazy, arrogant, pretentious and attention-seeking. They need to be fired. In all seriousness, there's plenty of people who would kill for the money these guys are probably payed. PS (writers, this is to you), the dog has been Mcfarland's mouthpiece for years. AuthorAvatar + ResurrectiveImmortality = AGodAmI. Moral: McFarland officially has delusions of Godhood. I don't care what you do in repentance, the jokes you tell, or the quality of any future episodes. I don't care if you become as good as Avatar or the never ending story, you still did this! This will never, ever be forgiven. You are worthless, sick insects and our world has no use for your kind.

We might think the TroperTales is just sad and hilarious but there were also some straight up horrorcows as well. As demonstrated by this young gentleman right here.

Yes, let's not only punish your crush, who's only crime was not wanting to go out with you, but also her sister and her sister's unborn child, who probably had nothing to do with your crazy ass. Also I love "Yeah, he knows how to abort a baby." What an edgelord.

For the record, I do think TV Tropes is a fun website that's also a good time waster. But the spegier the fandom is (Like Steven Universe, Legend of Korra, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) the spegier their TV Trope page is gonna be. Other forms of media with not so crazy fanbases tend to have more normal and less biased pages.

I believe this was one of the entries that encouraged the higher ups to remove Troper Tales altogether, though my memory is foggy on this

these days, what i find to be most interesting about the current nightmare fuel page is the ending note, with this choice quote: "Tropers are especially reminded to... keep all examples family-friendly and as neutral as possible. We really don't want to traumatize people..."

i assume theres strong worry about potential triggering afoot these days. what a bunch of whining asswipes.

edit: now with twenty-five percent less powerleveling!

when i used to binge-read tvtropes, i mostly ignored main pages and its community and stuck to the real life nightmare fuel section back before it got yanked. now, what i find to be most interesting about the current nightmare fuel page is the ending note, with this choice quote: "Tropers are especially reminded to... keep all examples family-friendly and as neutral as possible.

I don't know whether to rate that as powerlevel or feels. I used to always read real life tropes also because they were much more entertaining.
