Diseased TV Tropes community

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
To drive this further home, they've been spreading common trope names and terms just to drive up traffic for the site. There's a fucking channel at YouTube that was made by a troper and uses TVTropes lexicon. I cringed so hard when I had to hear such terms vocally.
One of my younger relatives humiliated me at Thanksgiving dinner because I accidentally used a tropes term and he fucking mocked me.

I can't even complain because I deserved it.

This was years ago before it had even reached its current level of cringe.
 
The one thing that I love about this site is just how autistic everyone is. The mods regularly ban people for who getting an certain amount of notifications without really caring about the context (in this case, it's the really gay rule that's related towards making the site addictive).

And the actual owner of the site is using any reason that he can to get people to make an account on there, including loss of functionality

I think I am late but I noticed that they put Aku from Samurai Jack as a Complete Monster and unanimously voted 👍 for it despite they've been very explicitly keeping him out of the kill-list for a decade or more. Probably had something to do with loosening the laughably evil restrictions and the agency restrictions being loosened even further under the excuse that it would somehow "make CM look like a normal trope and not a trophy" while it will predictably do the exact opposite. Well guess this is what happens if the Jew LightySnake and me aren't there to put them under check.
 
Check out what they have to say about The Acolyte.

Are they...is the site being bankrolled by Hollywood? Is some suit actually paying these chucklefucks to promote their slop?
Possibly. TVTropes is about the same size and demographics as Wikia/Fandom, which as early as 2016 or so IIRC had a Disney corpo account adding Disney Star Wars shit to Wookieepedia 24/7. Wikia has only deepened their ties with big corporations since then. There's a very high possible there are paid editors shilling for corpo goyslop on TVTropes, just like Wikia, Reddit, and many other places.
 
These people have so little in their lives worth caring for that they use brands as a replacement for identity.
Behold, every character that Rowling wrote is secretly transphobic

I thought Wikia was moderately larger?

I'm not entirely sure if this is an ongoing thing
 
The former trope still exists but under a different name: Once Original, Now Common. Even that page has a cleanup thread
Perhaps it makes sense to make the trope name more generic to avoid confusing people, but it still reeks of the bored janny behavior to change a name by mod fiat instead of vigorous debate on merits of tradition and demonstration vs ease of use.
 
Eventually this is going to get to a point where they change/remove a trope that people are actually really fond of and there'll be a huge backlash
Honestly? Who would care at that point? Or even does at present? I don't even visit the site anymore. Let it be a den of retardation and just watch the inevitable sparks fly.
