They put the LGBT Fanbase trope in every work where two characters of same sex talk to each other. It has hardly to do anything with the show itself, it's more of a fandom thing even if there is no such agenda present at all. Which is probably why it's a YMMV trope to begin with... though perhaps a seperate page for all the fandom induced stupidity would actually work in divorcing it from common criticism, but I don't think normies read or have even heard of TvTropes.

Or if it has muscular guys in it which I assume appeals to gay men, though it's more likely they assume it because some of these I just don't see. I remember the Xenogears' YMMV page having a LGBT Fanbase trope which has since been removed, citing Rico as the cause (who is basically a Blanka rip-off, but hey, I don't judge - you do you).

it also doesn't help that tropers can also be quite homophobic in certain situations

Truth be told Tvtropes has a lot of faults but they do generally include pretty much ever tv show that has been even remotely known in the US/Britain since probably the 1950's.And even quite a few from outside of these two countries.I was surprised to find they have a page for the german crime series Tatort.

I'm surprised that they actually acknowledge series like El Chavo del Ocho and Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya to be extremely popular in Brazil (Germans Love David Hasselhoff trope).

  • Tropers/legomaniac90: The episode "I Got Yer Can" from Animaniacs starts out like your normal Slappy Squirrel segment with Slappy getting annoyed by a cleanliness-obsessed chipmunk, but then takes a turn for the worse when Slappy proceeds to ruin the poor chipmunk's health and sanity. The reason? Said chipmunk asked her to put a can in her trash receptacle. And Slappy gets away with it! So remember kids, if someone asks you to do something that you don't like, feel free to turn them into insane wrecks for the heck of it!
  • Tropers/newborncolt: You think that's bad? For me, Slappy Squirrel's big low point was the episode "Rest In Pieces". Long story short, Slappy's nemesis Walter Wolf sinks to the ultimate low in his near-century-long wave of schemes to get rid of her by faking his own death in order to make everybody start hating her for doing everything she ever did to him, including her nephew! Are you fucking kidding me?! Never mind the fact that considering Skippy's age, he was naïve enough to buy this story, but the way he was so quick to accuse her of being a "murderer" nearly made me lose all sympathy for the kid! Not to mention the fact that this reaction is coming from somebody who has admired and looked up to his awesome aunt and seen all her old cartoons long enough so sooner or later, he'd have to look past her nemeses' schemes! I can understand everybody else, especially those attending Walter's "funeral", being this hateful towards Slappy when Walter pulls such a stunt, but coming from her own nephew, the one who has little to no reason to doubt her through her years of experience, that is just terrible on so many levels! That entire reason alone is why I hate this episode with a passion! And I don't care that Walter got found out and chased away at the end; it does not save this episode from being this cruel to poor Slappy!

It's possible to find good media through TvTropes, especially if it's obscure or generally doesn't get a lot of attention. When I used to be a regular there, I'd sometimes come across a near empty page and watch the show for the simple purpose of filling it when nobody else did or make new pages for something I liked that wasn't especially well-known. TvTropes could actually be a good source for that if it wasn't... well, for everything else.

I once made a page for Ninja Baseball Batman on there.

I'm sure tropetards wouldn't do any bloody effort to take a look at this on their own, because they don't care about things outside of their pony/waifu/nostalgia critic shit.

Well I think the less... obsessive fan based media just get a decent write up most of the time, with some funny trope listings, it's just that they're not being edited 100 times a day. It's not as if it's only that anime crap, it's just that the fans of the crap link it into EVERYTHING else.

Kaman Ninja Rider Word Salad Japanese Title English Number One Good Time Show is an example. I don't know how many versions of that dumb ass cartoon there are, but it's linked to pretty much every single trope, no matter how poorly it actually fits.
