Diseased TV Tropes community

[AnOminous]

All the some anvils need to be dropped tropes are horrible. It's "this troper's" pet issue, and it's totally a good thing an entertaining show turned into an after school special so we could be lectured to.

Seriously, look at any tvtropes entry for any of the recent woke movies, like The Hate U Give, Dear White People,

Just that name is anvilicious. Can you imagine a "Dear Black People" show that was all "quit stealing stuff" and "ever heard of a belt?" and "try marrying the mother of your children some time."

Yeah, I love that the name was straight up race bait, and of course the SJWs were out in force saying "What makes you think it's racist?" Fucking masters of gaslighting, those assholes. But yeah, I think we all know how well "Dear Black People" would go down.

• Pgj1997: When Snake was announced for Ultimate people were expecting new Codec conversations for the new characters. We were disappointed to say the least. The Easter egg still works, but only if you're fighting a character that was in Brawl already. And there aren't any changes to them whatsoever. The worst case of this is Sonic's, where Otacon still says "Do you have any idea how excited people are that he's here in Brawl?" Call it a nitpick, but it bothers me to no end. I used to be part of the Brawl modding community back when it was active, and I know how the Codecs are programmed. Unlike Palutena's Guidance, each line of dialogue is it's own separate audio file, meaning that all they had to do was delete that one file, and it wouldn't be jarring. I wouldn't be complaining if Palutena's Guidance wasn't given better treatment. They updated all the Palutena's Guidances for characters that have changed since Smash 4 (Crom no longer appears if you're fighting Lucina, and Link has a new one entirely) and wrote completely new ones for everyone else, including the DLC characters for Smash 4 where they previously didn't have unique Guidances. Don't get me wrong, I like Palutena's Guidance as much as Codecs, but for a series that normally pays a lot of attention to detail, this is just a lazy omission. They might get patched in later (David Hayter stated that he wasn't called in to record more, but he'd love to) but I doubt it.

JESUS CHRIST, IT'S JUST A FUCKING EASTER EGG!

The reason why there's no new codec conversations is because the Japanese actor of Colonel Campbell passed away years ago. They actually retired the character after his death. I totally get why they didn't make new ones, even if they could have just used Otacon and Mei Ling for the new characters.

All this outrage is frankly misplaced.

But remember that this is TV Tropes, where despite their weeb tendencies, they are only capable of thinking about the world in a strictly U.S. (not western) sense.

Some gold from the dethroning moment of suck pages:

I'm probably reading too much into this one, but one dethroning moment for me came in an episode of VeggieTales, in which Larry sings a song about his missing hairbrush. Now, from what I can tell, the song was about giving up things you don't need (like Larry's hairbrush since he has no hair) to someone else who does (like the Peach who does have hair). The problem with that is Larry never did give him the hairbrush; it was Bob the tomato. He basically just took the hairbrush without permission and gave it to the Peach on the grounds that he has hair and will make better use of it. His excuse for basically stealing from Larry? "Well, you don't really use or need it." That's it! It would be like if one of my friends had a stuffed toy that he no longer plays with and I just go ahead and take it to give to someone else simply because he doesn't use it anymore!

Animeking 1108: The Beavis and Butt-Headepisode "Wet Behind The Rears" has officially replaced "The Young, Gifted, and Crude" for the worst episode because of the massive Character Derailment of Principle McVicker. The episode was about Coach Buzzcut trying to get the boys to take a shower after gym class, but then the fire alarm goes off, leaving them to go outside in their underwear. Then it reveals that it was all a plan for Buzzcut and McVicker to humiliate the boys. I expected this sort of thing out of Buzzcut, considering that in my previous entry, he ordered his class to beat up a new student. However, this is inexcusable on McVicker, who is usually a Jerkass Woobie. Yeah, he wasn't the nicest guy, but he was like that because of the boys. In this episode, they didn't even do anything to provoke them. Add to it that it was implied that Buzzcut even planned for Beavis's hand to get pierced by the javelin to cover them in blood, it makes you wonder why Highland High School wasn't sued for this blatant abuse towards students.

I've seen this Anime King all over the site and he's a fountain of autism.

I remember little about the 1980s TV show they made of The Berenstain Bears, but what I do remember is that the opening of the adaptation of "The Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners" bothered me. The episode opens at Sister and Brother Bear's cousin Freddy's birthday party... and The Bully Too-Tall Bear is there. Unless he and his Mooks sneaked their way in, why would Freddy invite a known bully to his party? Maybe he was just being nice, but still, this leads up to Too-Tall and his buddies causing the events leading up to Sister and Brother's nasty moods by doing things like stealing 98% of the party favors right before the siblings got any...and no one calls them out on it! They still leave with their ill-gotten gains without anyone stopping them. Not only do they totally mess things at the party up, steal things, and cause Brother and Sister Bear to become cranky and rude in the process, no one bothers to call them out for any actions at all. Just about anyone else would have done so...or better yet just not invited known troublemakers to their party at all. I haven't seen the 80s series in years and yet, this still comes up when I think about it and it kinda irritates me.

I'm indifferent to the Sonic Boom cartoon but "The Biggest Fan" was more of a Take That! against a franchise's already Unpleasable Fanbase than it needed to be. In this episode, Sonic meets an obsessive fan who "accidentally" injures him and his friends for the purpose of keeping them around. Wonderful, especially when he tries to get Sonic to act out fan-fiction and it's implied that this fan has written some works that aren't kid-friendly. It doesn't help that the fan is an obvious Expy of Chris Chan, down to him complaining about Sonic's arms (although Word of God denies this. Okay). The team has enough of his neurotic behavior and they attempt to take him down while wearing body casts until they realize they were never injured in the first place. Sonic resolves this by wrapping him up in sports tape and leaving him there. The intended Aesop is the worst part. Sonic says to keep a healthy relationship with your fans and immediately ignores it when he screams and runs from a girl asking for his autograph, to which the rest of the cast breaks down in laughter. An episode like this was done with much more sincerity in Bob's Burgers which taught that you shouldn't let the worst of a fan base keep you from something you like while praising the reasonable qualities of good fans. According to Sonic Boom, a bad experience with even one of your fans gives you the right to treat the rest of them like shit even if they've done nothing to deserve it.

I'm recalling my previous entry to nominate "You're the Greatest, Charlie Brown". Most of the special is pretty good, honestly, but the climax is probably the biggest Ass Pull in the history of animation. Basically, Charlie Brown is leading in the final event of the decathlon, and he runs onto a side exit right off the track. Was the side exit there in any other shot? Yes, but, don't you think they could have blocked it off for the decathlon?

We usually put up with Frazzwhen it gets preachy, but it got a lot of complaints when Frazz surreptitiously swiped the batteries from a student's handheld game console in order to force him to enjoy his vacation in more traditional ways. That's not just militant; that's petty theft. And in Real Life, in all likelihood, neither the kid nor his parents would appreciate this loss of diversion

Baby Blues:

The August 15, 2015 strip is what did it for me. In it Wanda gives Wren (a messy baby) Darryl's vintage Star Wars collectibles to play with. Even if you don't know anything about Star Wars it doesn't take a genius to figure out that vintage figures are easily worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars

Oh Lawd, his troper page. Some choice entries:

Geeky Turn-On: Girls who cosplay, like anime, plays games, RPGS, glasses, and Shrinking Violets. I also would pick a girl who wears granny panties over a girl who wears a thong

Never Live It Down: You pick one day to forget to take a shower, and somehow, you're classmates think you don't bathe at all.

Yank the Dog's Chain: When ever there's a good chance that a girl will go out with me,something makes the girl say no.

His edit history should be fun. So should some of the other troper pages.

 

[ProgKing of the North]

Yeah, skipping a shower one day won’t make you smell bad enough to give you that reputation. Methinks there’s more to the story.

I think it's a weird way of saying "DUMB WHORES".

Also Pichu-kun is one of my "favorite" tropers due to their constant sperginng about trans shit and unhealthy focus on kids.

I'm bored and cold, so here are a bunch of people getting angry at commericals.

Another Cheerios commercial that particularly bugs me is is one where a dad pours a bowl for his infant son, and as soon as his back is turned, the older brother comes in and steals the cereal and runs off. As soon as he leaves the dad turns around, laughs and says, "The Cheerios bandit got you again?" Implying that this isn't the first time this has happened. So in other words, he knows his older son is stealing, but does nothing to discourage it. The fact that the family is African American doesn't help matters

I remember there being some sort of ad campaign for Pop Tarts that was basically a parody of Survivor. It started off pretty good and enjoyable, showing every participant slowly get picked off one by one until there was nobody left. Okay, so that's standard issue for the Pop Tarts ads at the time; Pop Tarts exist as sentient beings and meet their ends by getting eaten (and even then, the concept of that is downright terrifying). Double Berry, one of the participants who was supposedly killed off right at the beginning of the event, was revealed to have saved everyone from their fates, and giving everyone a second chance at hope. Alright, awesome! So then, it boiled down to a vote to choose which boat the group would use to get off the island (which Wildberry's motorboat won in what I can assume was a landslide vote for the possible practicality of it), and managed to get off the island. Sounds good, right? Well, everything reaches a bullshit climax. The boat breaks down out in the middle of the ocean despite the fact that it seemed like a good idea, and it looks like they're stranded again. A cruise ship shows up, and it looks like all's well that ends well, right? Nope! Sorry, everyone gets eaten by the patrons on board, making several weeks and months of waiting and anticipation completely and utterly fucking pointless. They only did that because Status Quo Is God and the humans are always gonna eat them no matter whether we had any bearings on their fates or not. Fuck you guys, too! This story had such good potential and could have ended happily, but chances are they planned it all in advance anywaysand it left a bitter taste in my mouth. It didn't make me want to eat Pop Tarts, but it sure as hell made me want to massacre all of those gluttonous bastards, all in the name of those Pop Tarts they unceremoniously chowed down on when things looked their best.

Just M&Ms commercials in general these days bug me. You're talking about cartoon characters, whose main appeal has historically been (and continues to be) very young children, and pretty well all the commercials now have a heavy focus on their sex lives. Not in the 'nod to the parents' sort of way cartoons use so families will watch shows together, but in a way that seems to say the executives didn't consider children might watch at all.

Burger King's "Ringmaster Whopper" campaign ad that showcased the said Whopper nearly made me want to stop eating at their restaurant. It starts with a couple in the restaurant, ready to have their whoppers. The girlfriend is a blonde in case you haven't noticed. The boyfriend asks her to open her whopper and sees a diamond ring in it. Excited, she makes an announcement that "Burger King" had put a diamond ring in it, but what she didn't know is that it was the boyfriend that gave her the ring. What made me despise this commercial with a hot, scalding passion is that not only the stereotypical blonde joke is really tiresome (and her acting is irritating), but the fact that the guy had worked his hands to the bone just to get her the engagement ring. But no, let's have her think Burger King has proposed to her and not the boyfriend! Hard work and money down the toilet! This is one of the worst ads to ever been shat out of the anus of a human being.

The latest Subway commercial "Reverse Restraining Order" just makes me want to beat the living crap out of the writer/director. If you haven't seen it, essentially it's a colossal douchebag of a guy explaining to reporters why and how he has four gorgeous women flanking him - he took out "reverse restraining orders" requiring them to stay within 1 foot of him at all times (a reference to the 'footlong' sub) followed by a cutaway shot of an older female judge flanked by two muscular guys implying that he got them by pointing out the advantages of them to the judge. Right Subway - so we have what is essentially chattel slavery and belittling the very serious nature of restraining orders which are taken out by people undergoing serious criminal harassment or stalking. The whole thing comes across as misogynistic and sexist in the extreme with the female judge & male models tacked on as a fig leaf to deflect any accusations of that.

How spastic do you have to be to write shit like that?

An good comparison would be Chris recently losing his shit because his neighbor dislikes him out of "transphobia."

About the Cheerios one, the "unfortunate implications" about black people being thieves is all on you. Call it a hunch, but methinks you might be racist.

Also, more DMoS sperging.

• SWF Max: I love Rick and Morty — in fact, it's my favourite show. But there's one part that annoys me: in the episode "Raising Gazorpazorp", Rick says that men and women are treated equally in the United States, and Summer objects, saying that women make 70% of the salary that men make for the same job. I'm not sure if the writers were using Summer as a Straw Feminist or if they were using her to voice their opinion, but either way, it doesn't sit well with me. If they were using her as a Straw Feminist, then that's a Critical Research Failure, as very few if any feminists have ever claimed that. The only thing I've ever heard from a feminist about women being paid less than men in the United States is that women make 77-78% of the salary that men make for the same job. Newsflash: 70% does not equal 77%, nor does it equal 78%. So, if they were using her as a Straw Feminist, they failed, in my opinion, as very few if any feminists have made the claim that Summer has made. Now, if they were using her to voice their opinion, that's also stupid, because apparently, they didn't bother to look up basic statistics. As I mentioned earlier, even feminists rarely if ever claim that women make 70% of the salary that men make for the same job. They claim that it's 77% or 78%. All in all, no matter for what reason the writers had Summer say that, it was a Critical Research Failure. (For the record, I am a feminist and I do believe that the wage gap in the United States exists, but that in itself is not why I consider this to be a DMoS, even if they were using Summer as a Straw Feminist. It's not the presence of a Straw Feminist in a work that bothers me, it's the presence of a poorly-written Straw Feminist in a work that bothers me.)

Yeah, like, that 7-8 number difference is super important, you guys. Seriously, we could just make a whole sub-thread about the stupid shit people post in these pages.

Anyone who takes MAL ratings seriously/uses them as a defense mechanism needs to be shot on the spot.

Seriously, they serve the same purpose Netflix's five-star system used to. You use the MAL rating, the show's description and maybe the top review (if it's not completely autistic, which there's a good chance it will be) to see if an anime you want to watch is worth watching. That's it. An individual's MAL can say a fair bit about what they enjoy, but a show's average rating might not necessarily be indicative of it's quality, especially if it's a meme show. Fucking "Pingu in The City", a children's animated claymation short, was the number one rated anime at some point lmao

Or any literal rating system. It's just human fan mentality; there will always be pointless 10s and 1s everywhere. While I think a 10 should be dished out for only the absolute best, many people will just outright give them because "I like it" and disregard any sliding variable in-between.

The rating system might as well just be "Like" or "Dislike" with how the majority tend to use them. :/
