Diseased TV Tropes community

''Lady and Gentrification'' is an an example of this trope about a decade before tv and movies started covering gentrification and how it negatively affects communities occupied by mostly working-class people of color (rising rents, the disappearance of the local culture, and changes alienating to long-time residents) and the episode gets an overdue article praising it.
In a little more than 21 minutes, the show brilliantly captured the nastiness that’s gentrification. And while the ending is trite—it’d be nice if Latinos and others affected by rising rents could just magically buy property and stave off the coffee shops—the episode’s lessons resonate nearly a decade later. Hipsters are a plague that contribute nothing to neighborhoods other than their own self-entitlement and must be opposed on all fronts. Barrios are a beautiful thing that need no change unless longtime residents want it—and on their own terms. Good neighborhoods are defined by the people committed to its essence, not scenesters who’ll bounce to the Next Big Thing at the drop of a Snap. And when your neighborhood taquería starts selling salmon tacos, that means the hipsters have arrived—BARF!

  • Even if you don't know or care about the film The Nostalgia Critic is reviewing, it's fun to see him break down in tears and/or rage over it. This was one of the reasons he brought the show back after the Grand Finale of To Boldly Flee. Doug started a a new show that he'd been wanting to do for years, but too many people apparently came to the site to watch the episodes, and ad revenue dropped after the show ended.
  • In a less mean-spirited way, TGWTG fandom only watch The Cartoon Show (a Cliché Storm Edutainment Show for kids) for Doug. Whoever wrote it used this to their advantage, as second episode in and Doug's character burst into tears, something that fandom greatly enjoys.

I've been mocking these idiots for years, and you hit it right on the head. They will never know what is truly out there because of massive sperging on the most inane bullshit.

Fun fact: This is also their newest moderator.

It's nice to see that they've probably lowered their standards for them.

When I used the site I literally had no idea they had mods, they were usually tok busy fucking off doing whatever

  • Early pre-release information regarding She-Ra and the Princesses of Power has very much been overshadowed by the intense backlash it received from fans of the original series, particularly because said backlash was regarded by others as sexist, perverse, and somewhat homophobic.note

Tropers are so gullible I'm surprised none of them have gotten into criminal or literal cult shit.

Except that all of the backlash that was regarded as "sexist, perverse, and homophobic" were from a minority. Everyone else bashed it because it looks like dog shit on a hot day. It also doesn't help that the creator used their D&D character as a self-insert for the show.

These are the same people who think Arrested Development was supposed to be a direct take on the Trump family.

In 2003.

The users try harder to be mods than the actual mods do. You'd think the mods would be the ones linking to Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement to remind users, but it's the ass kissing users instead.
