Imagine shitting this much on a dead guy for committing the UNFORGIVABLE CRIME of being whitey playing asian in the 60s. "LOOK THIS SO RACIST THEY EVEN MADE A FEATURETTE NOBODY FUCKING WATCHED" (Just like the Apu shit). Meanwhile they say nothing over things like putting a korean as a chinese or a vietnamese as a japanese cuz "arr rook same", or Eddie Murphy playing a chinese and a jew besides a quick mention.

This is why I'm slowly staying away from that site, the level of triggers these people write for a show/movie is just absurd at this point. And the term "modern viewers" / "values dissonance" that these people like to insert every now and then is just cringe.

Or maybe the guy just wants to eat veggies? LOL, these people over-analyze everything especially if it's about the gay.

son of a bitch. it's not exactly what I was complaining about, but it's indicative of the same problem. the fact the modern consumer has to imprint and project themself onto every single piece of media they engage with.

I've encountered some things where I'm like yeah that character is a lot like me, (usually when that happens to be honest it's an unfortunate self reflection moment where they have some negative trait and I think oh fuck I act like that sometimes) but I don't go out of my way to seek kinship with every fucking thing I look at. and whether I find it or not it has no bearing on the material, I either think it's good or I think it sucks.

and this type of entry as @Gondolindrim said, is not only masturbatory nonsense, but isn't even a trope of the thing in question. it's some outward faggotry. that doesn't tell me some trope of W&G, it just tells me people do the LITERALLY ME thing when they watch it, which people do to everything. it's irrelevant. there are probably other tropes to apply to every example listed here that aren't relating some guy's experience to the series.

I can't get over how ineffiecient the unban thread is. Why are there 3 different mods having multiple conversations?

Basically, it's just the jannies taking turns on addressing the issues whenever they feel like it without actually showing the exact reasoning behind it. They've supposed to change the way how they process appeals, but it's functionally the same as when it's started

I'm honestly surprised that the Silence of the Lambs page is so tame considering how anti-tranny that movie is. Only two entries even alluding to it's problematic nature

Honestly I was excited to see some sort of meltdown. Maybe some "Buffalo Bill is valid" posting.

And "Cow & Chicken" was incredibly progressive for it's time.

You mean, the cartoon that had a gang of butch lesbian bikers that literally munched on carpets? And whose main recurring antagonist is a devil who acts like a flaming faggot almost all the time?

And aren't those examples the user cited basically absurdist comedy jokes?

Ah well, TV Tropes and straw-grasping go hand in hand.

I once posted what Brave AI said about TVT. Interestingly enough, when I asked about its reliability again at this point, the AI updated.

Is TV Tropes Reliable​

Based on the provided search results, here are some reasons why TV Tropes may be considered unreliable:
  1. Lack of accountability: TV Tropes lacks a clear standard for notability, which means that anyone can create and edit articles without ensuring the accuracy or relevance of the information (Reference Reviews).
  2. Unreliable sources: Many articles on TV Tropes rely on user-generated content, which can be prone to errors, biases, and inaccuracies. There is no formal process for verifying the accuracy of information (io9).
  3. Tropes Are Tools: TV Tropes emphasizes that tropes are tools and can be used intentionally or unintentionally. This approach can lead to subjective interpretations and debates about the effectiveness or impact of certain tropes (Writing Pitfall Index).
  4. Overemphasis on anime: The site’s coverage of anime is disproportionately extensive, which can lead to an imbalance in representation and a lack of attention to other media forms (r/tvtropes).
  5. Lack of rigor in editing: The site’s community-driven approach can result in inconsistent editing standards, with some articles being heavily edited while others remain incomplete or inaccurate (TV Tropes).
  6. Censorship: TV Tropes has removed content deemed inappropriate, such as pornographic tropes and works, as well as sexist and rape tropes, in response to external pressure (The Mary Sue, ThinkProgress). This can be seen as a form of censorship, which can undermine the site’s credibility.
  7. Inconsistent tone: The site’s tone can vary from light and humorous to serious and analytical, which can make it difficult to discern the intended meaning or purpose of certain articles (Gawker Media’s io9).
  8. Lack of formal scholarly approach: TV Tropes is not a traditional academic or scholarly resource, and its approach to analyzing tropes may not adhere to established methodologies or standards (Media After Deleuze).
  9. Dependence on user-generated content: The site’s reliance on user-generated content can lead to a lack of expertise and authority in certain areas, potentially resulting in inaccurate or incomplete information.
  10. Evolutionary nature: TV Tropes is a constantly evolving resource, with new content being added and old content being revised or removed. This can make it challenging to establish a stable and reliable knowledge base.
Keep in mind that these points are based on the provided search results and may not be exhaustive or universally applicable. TV Tropes remains a popular and influential resource for many fans and scholars, despite these limitations.

It might actually get a more comprehensive result if it sourced from us, as well.
