Diseased TV Tropes community

Fuck yes. For months every single YMMV site out there had a fucking Trump reference. Either Star Wars, Muppets, Arrested Development, Pokemon...It was fucking nuts, paranoia, and just seeing things that aren't there.

Sometimes a chair is just a chair.

Everything I don't like is Donald Drumpf! - every YMMV page. Fuck off with that shit.

 

[friedshrimp]

And Everything I like is Doug Walker and Ponies- the Main Pages.

Fuck, that's basically TVTropes in a nutshell.

 

[Sun Shihong]

If TvT still had the "troper tales" page alive, nearly 99% of everything written there would be how the evil Drumpf and his nazi wall of death had turned their lives into shit, before watching a few episodes of Nostalgia Critic, while listening to MLP songs, resulting in dozens of paragraphs on how this was a "crowning moment of heartwarming" after learning the virtues of love and tolerance with Ponies.

It's not hard to understand how it happens though, given the average troper is extremely malleable and SJWs love people who are easily manipulated.

This Troper was experiencing a chronic case of Heroic BSOD when America officially crossed the Moral Event Horizon by electing Donald Trump, a Big Bad with Karma Houdini tendencies, president. This caused me to suffer a Despair Event Horizon and I came close to being Driven To Suicide, until I watched an episode of My Little Pony; Friendship is Magic where Pinkypie baked cupcakes for all her friends in a Crowning Moment Of Heartwarming.

To be fair, the Bluths are at least somewhat inspired by the Bushes (Gob [George Oscar Bluth] = Jeb [John Ellis Bush], etc.), so while seeing a Trump family connection is completely unfounded it also isn't completely unthinkable-- both the Bushes and the Trumps being Republican presidential families unpopular to many people, after all.

Is the new season going to have Gob! asking people to please clap for him, then?

It just needs this troper lamenting that not enough people wrote in Doug Walker to be president and this would be the only way a TVtropes user can parse the world.

I know that it wasn't the intent but you're post is a really good example of how stilted and unnatural Trope Speak is.

I'm pretty sure that was exactly the intent. Also, it's your, not you're.

I give you a B-. Poor reading comprehension, a grammatical error, but otherwise a well constructed sentence.

It's typical of these autistic SJWs that even a nearly completely inoffensive humorist like Weird Al can draw their ire over nothing.

I knew they'd have something on the "spastic" lyric in Word Crimes too before even looking.

:powerlevel: It's because he was in that damn pony show as a foil to the piml crazy one, wasn't it? :powerlevel:

Seriously, though.

In addition to using the term "midget", "Jerry Springer" off Running With Scissors spends a lot of time making a spectacle of transgender people, using words now considered slurs like "hermaphrodite" (which was also used in "Albuquerque", another song from the same album) and "shemale". That said, the show it was based on did exactly that on a weekly basis.

Nope just people being salty about perceived aggressions that didn't exist in 1999 when the album was released, over a song that takes shots at Jerry Springer. MLP sperging would have been funnier.

I hope they never find Orgy on my Own from Al's earlier days.

Truly, tropespeak is Black Speech, or Infectious Insanity if you prefer, TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life if you get exposed to it at least for a moment... OH FUCK

Pull the trigger

They kinda remind me of Jonathan McIntosh's whiny "WHY DO HARRISON FORD CHARACTERS GET SO MUCH PUSSY???" video, ngl.

That is, if tropers do actually date AT ALL.

The (legal, and less repulsive than the better-known types) sexual predator — a man who relentlessly pursues, lands, loves, and then abandons members of the opposite sex, a skill bestowed upon him to demonstrate what a badass he is. Sometimes comic, sometimes a monster, always successful, this character leaves behind a string of broken hearts, and occasional vows of revenge that are rarely fulfilled. Casanova's only motivation is indulging his lust and desire, sating them with the bodies of his conquests.

"Men who date women are sexual predators!"

The Casanova trope is also usually only applied to Caucasian/white men. Non-white men having, expressing or giving into their sexual desires is often portrayed negatively or Played for Laughs. Also, while white male Casanovas being with non-white women is generally portrayed as fine, men of color are often limited in a work to dating, having sex, marrying or even flirting only with women of the same nationality or skin color as them. If they do have a romantic relationship or sexual encounter with a woman of a different nationality or skin-color, it is usually held in scorn by some in-universe (and sometimes out-of-universe, unfortunately).

"Also, it's racist!"

TV Tropes doing what it does best - projection.

• The first is that the Casanova is always male, given that women are usually shamed for having an active sex life. The comparatively rarer female version is an "aphrodite", but she’ll likely be portrayed as an evil character who exploits her sexuality to manipulate innocent men. The womanizing skills of the Casanova, on the other hand, will almost always be granted to him to make him look like a champion.
• This trope also applies almost exclusively to straight men, given that queer people with an active sex life are usually villainized in media. Meanwhile, straight men get to be portrayed as badasses for having multiple women at their beck and call. Bisexuals or demisexuals are even rarer, though not unheard of; for example Oberyn Martell.
