Diseased TV Tropes community

The rule of catious editing judgement is basically don't write anything that is a bit too right wing by SJW standards(although considering how those standards are evolving who knows what will be right wing tomorrow) otherwise you will be deleted.And the whole 99% of all wiki don't want a fight has a vague orwellian tone to it basically your opinion is so controversial that even people that might agree with it are forced to side with 'us'.Let's hope no troper ever gets real political power because its pretty obvious how they would rule.

I submitted a work for review by their P5 committee because I was sure, by their standards, they couldn't cover it without pissing off their ad sponsors.

The response I got, to say the least, is rather vexing.

In the interests of honesty, I helped start the page on the exact same work on my own wiki, and before I even bothered to file the report I contacted an admin and discussed submitting the example because I feared a COI on my part and wanted my conscience clear.

Here's the ATT page on the same.

https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Don't_Meddle_With_My_Daughter

For the record, while I found several elements of the story disturbing and fucked the hell up (I could have done without explicit scenes of incestual rape and little boys raping grown women), it had it's redeeming qualities when it stayed the hell away from such themes, such as spoofing the Western superhero genre in a very hilarious fashion, and frankly, the author included all that shit as explicitly as they did simply because they wanted to show that content (the scene with the little boys raping in particular could have been excised or at the very least merely referenced and gotten the same points across without the stomach churning excess), especially because said content was part of hentai side stories that were meant to fill in blanks in the main work.

Shit, even in the main work, we get a lot of scenes of one of the villains loving her kids way the hell too much that, again, could have been cut down to mere mentions and allusions and still gotten the same points across.

Finally, I started ATT because I hated such censorship bullshit myself, but I noticed something I'm sure wouldn't fly under their rules, reported it with evidence, and the amount of outrage I got is rather surprising.

I plan to just leave my reports as they are and let their P5 committee make their decisions, but considering they've cut all mention of other works for far less, I still find this facepalm worthy.

I found it weird that when tvtropes mentioned the rules or the P5 on not bringing porn stories or hentai, it's usually just with explicit vanilla sex. But for some reason stories with huge amount of abnormal fetish (like diapers, vore, guro, scat) seems to get a pass for these people like "yeah, this is acceptable."

Honestly, I find their qualifications a bit schizophrenic in that regard.

To this day, their ad sponsors, still, to my knowledge, have not laid out where the line needs to be drawn aside from a few blatantly obvious things like outright, unashamed porn.

Past that their censorship rules are indistinct and ill defined.

I established ATT with other like-minded people because I felt such nonsense was arbitrary bullshit that just cripples your site mission (either cover all media or don't if you state that's your purpose), but if they insist on banning porn and pedophile pandering, I have to say even though I plan to let their system do it's thing without interference regarding my recommendations, I personally find their arbitrary lines in the sand on whats verboten or not to be hypocritical.

Well,I just got informed of something I didn't know, but I'm not sure it's an improvement.

Apparently, Google no longer has sway over the ads to the extent they once did according to the current admins, and now their P5 committee judges works on standards specific to to TV Tropes' own standards.

That said, I'm not sure if that's an improvement, as that means instead of at least a few blatantly obvious rules imposed from without on obvious verboten topics, that means their standards are now at the mercy of a five man committee who must decide things on a case by case basis and whose objectivity is considered the final word on acceptable or not.

  • On a more serious side this causes occasional incidents on the site, such as when members of the "bro" portion of the fandom are shocked to find that the core community of authors consider them to be a Periphery Demographic, and that the community is...unamused... by typical 4chan antics like shitposting, mocking the LGBT community or those with emotional issues.

Feels over reals I guess when it comes to anything even marginally related to 4chan, despite having a page on them.
