"Globeclopping
Though bronies are seemingly located mostly in the UK and in the United States, based on where the major conventions are held (BUCK and Bronycon respectively) the highest concentration of Pornhub bronies appear to be located in Belarus, in that MLP porn is 462% more likely to be searched for there than the rest of the world. Overall it appears that Central and Eastern Europe are where these types of searches are the most popular, with countries like Russia, Ukraine and the Czech Republic all proving to be 427%, 326% and 179% more likely to perform MLP searches than elsewhere in the world."

The Pastel Pestilence has even gone off-planet.

"Killing women in fiction is misogynistic!!! Women are little angels who must never die!!!"

You also gotta love how they dismiss big stories and plot points and reduce them to "Woman dies, man is sad." And the usage of "mangst"...

Tropers' grasp of morality is hilarious

Did anyone here forgot about their very own Fetish Fuel wiki?

We made ourselves forget.

On Drawn Together:

• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The idea of a Big Brother style reality show that featured Expies of famous cartoon, video game, comic book, and anime/manga characters (and one who was an expy of Web Animation in general). We could have gotten to see each character react to the others in unique ways, resulting in Deconstruction and Reconstruction of many animation and reality television tropes (kind of like what The Amazing World of Gumball does now, only replace "reality television tropes" with "family/kids sitcom tropes"). Sadly, because most people believe that American animation can never be anything more than wacky kids' shows or crude adult satire, what we got was your typical, Family Guy-esque Dead Baby Comedy that crosses the line every minute on the minute.

The fuck? Why mention Gumball?

The history articles are often crippled by them inserting silly trope names all over the place. So you end up with sentences like “Gorbachev and Reagan then went go-karting”.

Why would you want to even try to reduce the complexities of real life to a bunch of TV clichés anyway?

Autism.

Autism never changes.

In their defense tvtropes were one of the things that made me interested in history

you're sounding a bit like the self-proclaimed historian on Deviantart who couldn't feel sympathy for a photo of rounded-up Jews until someone photoshopped Raindow Dash into it

i imagine it's so that everyone on the site can have a collective "haha i understand how this ties into each other" moment, because ya know, that faint glimmer of intellectual superiority over someone who Doesn't Get It should always take precedent over real-world nuance

(barely related, but i'm sure the site's owners appreciate the additional traffic that happens when someone clicks on a trope that's linked in some other page, even if it is, for example, Funny Aneurysm Moment on the Reagan page)

That's like saying you used ED as a source for a history paper. Only somehow more autistic.

Well, back on the Game of Thrones sperging...

• While Ellaria and the Sand Snakes are mostly loathed, there was a portion of viewers who thought that their decision to murder Doran and Trystane and seize control of Dorne was an empowering feminist moment for them, despite it clearly being portrayed as a Moral Event Horizon.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/YMMV/GameOfThrones

I'm pretty sure the "viewers" who saw it as feministic are also TVTropers...Which makes them look pretty dumb considering killing the lord of a house has very negative connotations in this show and killing family members is also looked on terribly.

But, you know, feminism!

One good thing I can say about TVtropes,
it doesn't have an article on Gamergate.

they literally ban all discussion of it

you can't even SAY gamergate

Good on them, they don't need any more sperging than they already have.

 

[c-no]

Yeah. Allowing such a thing only makes it worse, regardless of what side they take. Besides, that sort of thing would at least keep autist in check compared to other things where said autist are able to sperg.

Hi! New member here!

I found one of the more revolting pages on post Pedo Purge TV Tropes. THE AUTHOR APPEAL PAGE!

Seriously, Its awful. It describes in lurid detail all the Auto Pandering creepy authors fetishes.

It is impossible to read the work of Gilbert Hernandez and not get the impression that he has a massive thing for women with gigantic breasts and hips and tiny waists.

• Jaime Hernandez has been accused of fetishising lesbians, based on the number of self-identified lesbian characters in his Love and Rockets work and the frequency with which they turn out to occasionally shag men as well. When the accusations started getting nasty, he suddenly revealed that two long-established male buddy characters sometimes blew each other, making it more of an equal-opportunity Everyone Is Bi.
  • Unless, it was an attempt at an Author's Saving Throw, since it had never been hinted at until he came under fire.
• • Frank Herbert's later books in the Dune series fall prey to this trope. At first the story is about political intrigue and cultural clashing... and then by the fifth book or so it all collapses into what are BDSM dominatrixes taking over the galaxy through their powers of orgasm.

It does have some cute and innocent stuff like

• Mitsuru Adachi really really really likes baseball, if the fact that nearly every series he's worked on in his illustrious career revolves around it is any indication.

But that's it.

@RawksYourSocks, let me be the first to say welcome. Hope you're having a good time so far.

Also, the author appeal (which I'm just now looking at) page just goes to show you that fetishes aren't just internet exclusive. It's astonishing just how many people in media have them (though Tarantino was a given). Though some of it's merely fucking stupid assumptions (thinking the Star Wars EU has a Luke Skywalker fetish, for starters) or just pointing out the obvious (like how JJBA has plenty of characters named after musicians/songs).
