/cow/ - Lolcows (Three Years on 8chan!)

>>117434

Could we get screencaps/archived links to show before/after?

I… actually like TV Tropes…

Does that make me a part of the autism?

>>117476

Only if you're part of the active mission to pointlessly categorize similar things in unrelated media.

I miss old TVTropes, on one hand there was the massive autism with Troper Tales and all that guff but at least the adminship and moderation was less anal.

The term "trope" is the worst thing to ever happen to reviewing. It's litter used for anything deemed "problematic" or "any I don't like".

I really miss the word cliche. The word is french so maybe it's too white.

I find the people trollshielding TvTropes to be more interesting, like goons. Or that guy,, CrazyGoggs, I heard he had some skeletons in his closet, but I never bothered to find more about him, anyone knows anything?

>>117483

Actually, much like "stereotype", it's a neutral word that's just been overused in negative contexts

It's really just for highlighting things/situations/characteristics that happen frequently between various pieces of media

>>117483

They avoided cliche because it has the negative connotation of being overused.

Trope just means "something similar between two or more separate works" rather than overused specifically. All cliches are tropes, but not all tropes are cliches is their mentality.

It's only because Tropes vs Women happened that it got roped in as negative when the site itself explicitly states "Tropes are neither good or bad, they're just tools and devices."

For the most part the cocks of the site is fine, the only problem in regards to it that I've seen is that people get really fucking involved in reading them and start applying them everywhere and think that that's how stories are written.

I've avoided any and all drama associated with it, so if someone wants to inform plebs like myself on what the skinny is then I'm all ears.

>>117431

I've found some great books, shows, and games via TvTropes, it's fantastic when used right.

It's when people start using it as a billboard for their dumbass opinions that things get rough.

>>117509

The same happened to me, I found some obscure and interesting stuff.

The most spergy thing I've come across is thgose guys who insert trope names while posting in forums or boards, the result is almost like schizo writing, long rambling paragraphs and for someone who isn't familiar with tropespeak, can be very confusing. I hope nobody talks in tropes in real life.

>>117518

I know one guy that wants to be a writer but simply doesn't write, instead spends his time talking about stuff he likes in tropespeak.

My urges of "books don't write themselves and this won't help" has led nowhere. Can't make the horse drink.

>>117522

If he actually wanted to write, he would be writing. Like Bioy Casares said, to be a writer you have to read a lot, write a lot, commit a lot of msitakes.

>>117526

I'm aware, friend. It's why I fucking hate posers. I have to fight my own incredibly lazy nature to make sure I make art rather than just sit there wishing I was.

>>117527

After reading Music for Chameleons, anid realizing how the obsession for be the very best destroyed Capote, I decided to just write whatver I enjoy. I have no pretensions of being a published author or anything like that. Fuck it, nobody is going to read it.

>>117528

What happened to Moleman? I lost track of him after the last moving.

>>117533

He's still sperging out on whatever wikis haven't banned him yet. He's learned not to come around here, but not much else.

>>117533

He learned how not to feed trolls better. I think h still works on his shitty rap battles and has asked the kiwi farms to remove a specific thread about them because it is on the first page of Google for "moleman rap".

>>117534

>>117535

Well, at least he learned something. I still remember my futile attempts to offer him some books for aspiring writers. Spergs like him want to write best sellers, buld millionaire franchises, conquering entire markets without lifting a finger.

I've always felt their Joker article was dripping autism

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker

Searched for all the tropes and didn't find it.

http://allthetropes.wikia.com/wiki/All_The_Tropes_Wiki

The real all the tropes is down for now. Sadly for us, they have learned to conceal their power level by not listing everything that makes them horny.

>>117545

The Badass Creed one was some work of spergy art. Though I'm not convinced most of them publicly recite those silly creeds.

>>117604

Unlike TV Tropers, who talk about how Linkara makes them hot.

>>117507

https://encyclopediadramatica.se/TV_Tropes_Drama

They removed the Troper Tales section, right? It was concentrated autism, especially Took A Level In Badass.

Can we talk about the "Dethroning Moment of Suck" page? Because hohoho, it's quite a treat.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck

Ever wonder why Mr. Enter got his inspiration from? We got people writing novel-length rants because one cartoon character was mean to another or something innocuous upset them.

The entries for Family Guy, Robot Chicken South Park and other "adult" cartoons are especially hilarious since almost every one amounts to "this show that goes out of it's way to offend people made a joke that offended me!" and it's explicitly clear they have no idea what the fucking point of these shows are.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/NightmareFuel/VanityPlate

These scare the users.

I didn't see it linked here, but there's a youtube channel that picked a bunch of troper tales to highlight the crazy.

>funding a new website design

It's like they want to make the internet worse. It's pratically a rule at this point that web redesigns always suck. It's why, even ignoring the userbase, I like 8chan so much and despite tumblr (it takes about 2 minutes just to reblog on my pc)

>>117894

At least the search function seems to work.

You can find every trope name as a suggested result on Google Search because for the longest time Search was broken, so everyone used Google to navigate the site.

Dear god, why do I still read this shit.

what really rustles my jimmies about TV tropes is how many categories of media that aren't TV or movies they have.

shit like webcomics, fanfiction, "web original", etc.

or how big the anime/manga sections will be. why not just have a separate chinesecartoontropes site for that?

>>117898

Or "Toys". 99.5% of the time, it's there for a trope in Lego's BIONICLE.

Like, do they really give a shit for that short-lived line's shitty plot?

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Franchise/Pokemon

>>117480

The new site is so trash to navigate because everything is over-sized and centered.

I swear that these web design faggots make everything so fucking huge because they all use Retina on the HomOSX books and don't program DPI scaling because that's not in Dreamweaver.

>>117476

It can be a little amusing to go unironically browse there once in a blue moon, but the thing that drives me nuts is that 99% of their cocks is childrens cartoons, toys, E-rated games, webcomics, and Shonen.

>>117507

>>117904

>For the most part the cocks of the site is fine, the only problem in regards to it that I've seen is that people get really fucking involved in reading them and start applying them everywhere and think that that's how stories are written.

I agree with this. The problem isn't so much the site itself as much as it's the following it garners. They're not interested in talking about serious books and movies, they only ever care about children's franchises

>>117934

>Serious books and movies.

Oh, the life of a sophisticated adult is so hard. Now, I will recite Ballade des pendus, par Francois Villon…

>>117934

>They're not interested in talking about serious books and movies

Or when they do (If its popular serious shit), their analysis on them is fucking retarded.

One troper wrote a fucking essay about how Jesse Pinkman from Breaking bad was a victim of the Patriarchy.

>>117962

Speaking in memes, old chap. I see you keep the flame alive of those great wordsmiths, like Keats, Coleridge, Byron, Ruskin and Johnson.

>>117965

>Implying that wouldn't get you an A in a college English class

>>117977

You usually get marked on your capacity to analyse and interpret something, develop a theory and then your ability to write those thoughts fluently and in an interesting manner.

You can find any symbolism in anything with post-modern artistic viewing because everything is subjective. The art is less a product of the artist's vision and more a reflection of the audience's own thoughts and feelings. If the audience thinks that Jesse Pinkman is victimised by the Devil the patriarchy, then all they have to do is show what evidence supports it, why they interpret it that way and write it in a convincing enough manner.

>>117835

>getting nightmares of vanity plates

this is the apogee, the pinnacle, of all autism

this out-autisms even the most experienced of autists

>>117979

>then all they have to do is show what evidence supports it

Have you seen the show? There was nothing there that shows the dangers of masculinity or patriarchy. Jesse could be considered a victim of his own mistakes or a victim of a bad parental figure, but a man dominated society had nothing to do with it.

If the person was making a point about the Fargo TV show being about those themes, they would have a point because there is evidence to support that claim. You have Lester trying to prove himself as a man which led to him killing his wife and led him down a dark path where people got killed. Lorne Malvo is a corrupting force who refuses to use a pink walkie-talkie and laughs when picturing a girl get raped by a dog. Then you have Molly be the hero of the story and Gus being someone who doesn't try to prove himself as a man who both end up living a satisfying life in the end.

Now, I'm not defending the point that patriarchy is bad or whatever, but at least the show had evidence to support that claim. Breaking bad had none of that. All points made in this analysis are pulled from their ass.

http://hckleinman.tumblr.com/post/28607667713/jesse-pinkman-and-male-self-hatred

If you are going to write an essay about something, use points that are made within the work. Don't look for symbolism where it isn't present. Don't look for ideas which aren't there.

Yep, just as autistic as I remember

>This troper took a few levels when, after years of being a Woobie so pitiful Shinji would say what the heck is wrong with you, I had enough of a girl I liked always going for this tall, blond guy. When they were talking right in front of me in the street and holding arms and talking and all that, I said, "Shut. The. Hell. Up." The boy looks around and walks over, trying to look menacing. Martial arts studies come in. I take a punch to the forehead and then slide under and punch him in the stomach, he goes backwards and I land another one to his face. I then go berserk and full body tackle him. He managed to crawl away, and say, "That kid…is inhuman!" Another level was taken when I knocked a knife out of Joseph Stubb's hand

>>117965

In theory it could be useful in understanding more about autism if you are writing about an autistic character, but the users seem to think its a guide about how to deal with autistic people.

Anyway, more stupidity.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnfortunateImplications

>>118012

I bet it doesn't include the part where he arrested for assault and raped by Tyrone

The FPlus podcast (kind of /cow/ , they read dumb shit from autistic websites) did two episodes on TVTropes.

TroperTales (sadly now gone) was where the users decribed their lives in terms of tropes - http://thefpl.us/episode/60

And TVTropes users brainstorm their future magnum opuses - http://thefpl.us/episode/148

>>118049

See >>118029.

>>118096

They also have a page on how not to offend people (the entire page is absolute godl):

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/SoYouWantTo/AvoidUnfortunateImplications

I don't think we measure up — we're not allowed to make fun of trannies.

One part that suprised me was

>Transgender people are real human beings … As are people in that freakish little scary subculture that just got torn to bits on CSI or Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

They're actually implying that Law and Order episode was on point.

>>118580

About sexual violence in stories

>Is it for simple cheap fetish thrills? If it is, be honest with yourself that that's what it is, do your damnedest to make it clear that the story is a fantasy or screwed-up kink that should never happen in reality, and make use of trigger warnings.

>>118580

>>118583

The section about rape contains the word trigger warning several times. I wont post the rest of the autism in that section, as there is far too much, but I'll leave this here:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RapeAsDrama

>>118583

The fucking best part is after that

>Or hey, just turn it into BDSM, same thing but legal!

>>118649

Fun fact is that BDSM isn't 100% legal anyway since you can't consent to battery.

I guess it's more of an issue in certain states.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WebOriginal/DeagleNation

So, can we classify TV Tropes as one of the most cancerous sites on the web? I mean, not only is it a hotbed of autism in itself, it's given rise to such acts as:

Anita

Mr Enter

MovieBob

To name a few

>>118650

Tell that to the schools,

http://abcnews.go.com/US/spanking-school-19-states-corporal-punishment-legal/story?id=15932135 In Missouri a teenager can opt out of detention if he or she accepts a paddling and the paddles can get pretty big, and studded. Kinky.

Plus you can legally consent to get knocked around as an adult, but if anyone wants to watch you may need to get permission from the state and such. Be it in the ring or the bedroom.

This site just looks tumblr blue

>>118580

If you are willing to let the quality of your work get impeded by your desire to avoid offending others, you may as well be willing to let someone else do your work for you. A person's work is an expression of themselves, not an expression that appeals to people who are perpetually offended.

>>118583

Almost no one on this planet is justifying rape, when rape happens, its usually to scare the audience, to show sympathy towards the victim, or to establish the rapist as a monster. The only time rape is treated as anything but that is usually when a man is the one getting raped in stories for comedic effect (See: 40 days and 40 nights, The Hangover part 2)

>>118727

>So, can we classify TV Tropes as one of the most cancerous sites on the web?

I wish I didn't agree with you. It is a fun idea for a site, but the community treats tropes as a qualifier for if a work is good or not, and can't see work of fiction as anything but things to pick apart of its components. Like OP said, They can explain the who, the what, the when, the where, but never the why or the how.

>>117984

>All points made in this analysis are pulled from their ass.

Welcome to post-modern subjectivity. I made a point of saying that it's all about what you as the audience member sees, not what the creator intended with their symbolism. It's pure bullshit, but it doesn't get stamped out because "you can't tell another person what they see or feel about art." If they want to see patriarchy, they'll see patriarchy. Everything looks like a nail when you're a hammer.

I don't agree with it, I'm just saying why it is that way.

>>118051

It both is and it isn't.

It would be difficult if you made them actually autistic because the average person just wouldn't get it and they'd get frustrated watching someone not be able to grasp simple concepts that other people don't even think about.

What you'd probably end up with to make it easier is some Hollywood version of the affliction (see Hollywood Ugly, which just means "average" or "good looking but not wearing nice clothes") where they fuck up but they're still someone the audience can get along with. Instead of autism being a constant borderline sociopathy where you punch your own head and scream at fish, you're just a little socially awkward but you're trying really hard to get better at it while the rest of your life is standard.

>TVtropes thread

>Nobody posted this guy yet

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/IsaacBaranoff

In case you don't know, this guy is one of those types who shills themselves hard on that site, and apparantly thinks of themselves as some sort of underground comix master. Also, regularly spergs out and uploads online argument screencaps to his Deviantart as soem sort of "trophy",

To add to the lulz, he thinks that Agouti Rex fag actually ripped off his shitty comic, and the guy will start a war months later to correct you if you disagree with him.

>>118580

They have an entire section dedicated to how bad rape is and to only use rape in a story if you really REALLY have to and to do all this research and how you should make sure to get everything perfect so no one is offended, and then they finish with this:

>beware of Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil. Do not treat rape as the epitome of heinousness in a story where other villains commit crimes just as bad or worse, such as genocide, harming or killing children, or Cold-Blooded Torture. Rape is disgusting, but presenting it as worse than murdering and torturing thousands of people is just as offensive than trying to justify it. It's all about good measure in the end.

I think I just got a fucking aneurysm.

>>118861

Aside from the first one ('Deeply emotionally affected by the feeling of others') and the fourth one ('Dishonest') the left column matches much more closely with CWC than the right.

>>118857

To be fair, whoever wrote that is kind of right. Rape is a horrible crime, but the only reason people get so angry about it is because it involves sexual contact, and because of that they tend to overlook the fact that murder or rape-murder will always be worse.

>>118828

'Never go full retard'

I still say the autism fully corrupted the site when they added Fan Works/Fanfiction (they can't even keep shit straight) categories on everything, which are used solely for users shilling their own shit. Which is almost always MLP fanfic.

Sorry to derail, but I'm going to warn you now: they couldn't honestly give less of a fuck about the bifurcative differences in empatho-cognition between the conditions.

Usefully though, these differences apply in general at a greater scale to those seen between men and women, so perhaps Cohen is onto something.

'No empathy' is a useful epithet for the psychopaths (as confirmed by your chart) using this board to justify blindly the targeting of autists. It is in this sense a meta-trollshield, because then they can deny their disregard and veil themselves under a banner of conscientious concern; the classic hallmark of a manipulative liar and thus, the archetypically average user of this board. As we've increasingly seen, this still holds however inconsequential their targets are.

Seriously, they pail in comparison even to my synthetic escapades.

I've been saying what your picture has, in different ways, since about 2012. The /cow/ardly basement-dwelling retard, especially those oldfags who still frequent its later incarnations, who adorn personas which proclaim existential wordliness to conceal the abjection of their failure, are surely going to be the first to reject this valid observation out of hand.

Especially when the average /cow/ardly baement-dwelling retard is a closeted worshipper of radical feminism, if autistic neuromasculinity, and their desire to destroy such, holds.

>>118861

Look at what you've done! >>118875

>To be fair, whoever wrote that is kind of right. Rape is a horrible crime, but the only reason people get so angry about it is because it involves sexual contact, and because of that they tend to overlook the fact that murder or rape-murder will always be worse.

I know THAT bit is right, but everything prior to that was explaining how rape IS a special kind of evil and how you have to be SO CAREFUL if you want to put it in a story.

Speaking about "a meta-trollshield", I'm beginning to think we have a lolcow in our midst …

I just realised that I almost quoted the entire post.

>>118927

First, I'm hardly new.

Secondly, it's been well established among, and even acknowledged by, the Old Guard that a new tendency with misplaced sympathies have joined /cow/'s ranks as of most recent, roughly around the time of the halfchan exodus and reaching a coda in exponentiation towards the re-discovery of Coffin.

It is to those whom I refer in particular.

Autistophobe or autophobe would be more etymologically correct.

It would never be coined as a word because the hypermale, far from being a protected group, are so aggressively pursued, in attempts to deliberately retard and stave their development, by psychiatry and the matriarchy-enabled single cuck-parenting socialist "child welfare" complex, that it's suggestive of the latent fear they harbour about the autist's silently surreptitious status as a remnant of aristocratically patriarchal evolution.

>>118948

I never said you were new. I dont care what "the Old Guard" thinks (or you believe "the Old Guard" thinks).

I pointed out some things you said which I thought sounded retarded. I called you autistic. I mocked you for using big words to try to sound smart.

Here's an example of you using complex words:

>reaching a coda in exponentiation towards the re-discovery of Coffin.

I can't even read the sentence properly because I have no idea what this means. I'm guessing it's meant to be a mathematical term referencing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation, but even despite being a theoretical physicist I can't figure it out. Could you please explain it to me, and begin writing like a normal person from here on out? And stop tripfagging, no one cares who you are.

>It's only because Tropes vs Women happened that it got roped in as negative when the site itself explicitly states "Tropes are neither good or bad, they're just tools and devices."

Tropes are recurring patterns so SJW fucktards latched onto them as a way to prove that everything is sexist. The latched on the concept, making it seem like it was some grand overarching story of oppression of women.

I would like the site better if they applied their analysis evenly to all media. Instead they obsess over a few small, current franchises and leave the true classics, the ones that actually need analysis, to languish. My Little Pony and Game of Thrones is shoehorned into virtually every fucking trope page.

Tropers in general seem to have a huge boner for the TGWTG spergs. They put their quotes on some of the trope pages and generally hold them up in high regard, or at least higher regard than they should rightfully be given, given that most of TGWTG is absolute trash.

>>119666

*cough*

Was the tripfags post basically a tvtropes copypasta?

>>119531

Someone can't read the word was then, but if I remember from Eugene Valberg's seminar on the negro mind, no wonder you can't distinguish past from present.

>>119639

Cows are supposed to be funny. 'phag is tedious and boring

>>119772

And you are a tenacious cryfag.

I used to unironically go on TVTropes back in the day, but only specifically to look for games with certain tropes. Like, for example, one day I just randomly felt like playing a game that starts off with a power tease (Like playing as Vader in the first stage of Force Unleashed, or the first dream sequence in Soul Hackers)

I don't know why, but that's what I felt like playing and I used the site to find examples. I would do that quite a bit with different topics. I wasn't aware of how shit the site was until they banned all pages for hentai games. This thread just tells me it's gotten way, way worse since.

You ever have that kind of realization that you just did something incredibly fucking dangerous without knowing, but through sheer dumb luck nothing bad happened?

That's how I feel about TVTropes. Holy shit all that sperg I dodged.

>>117528

Using trope names in everyday conversation is autistic, but if someone is talking about a movie/book/game/whatever, then mentioning a trope by name is appropriate.

How do you all feel about specific trope names such as "The Noodle Incident" and "Go-Karting with Bowser"?

>>119777

To me it seems like you're the autistic one.

>baww i hate this song even though lots of other people don't mind it

>what, you have standards for what you add? But I hate it! if u dont add it ur autistic because my tastes are always correct

>>119786

To be honest, most of their trope names are pretty dumb so even then, in a conversation about media, it's pretty autistic.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic

Their mlp page is so big they had to divide the tropes into 6 different subpages.

Check out their MLP FiM fanfic recommendations:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanficRecs/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicGeneral

Some examples:

Are You Kidding?! There's PORN of Us?!

Ever since the internet came to Equestria, the inevitable was going to happen. Porn has become easy to come by, and stumble across. Rarity discovers porn made of herself, and becomes disillusioned with her fans. How should she react?

Naked Singularity

Twilight Sparkle is a gifted student and scholar. When she attempts to harness her creative side by writing a science-themed sensual romance novel, however, things rapidly get out of hoof. Can her friends stage an intervention before she humiliates herself (and them) at a prestigious literature recital? No. No, they cannot.

A Pleasant Surprise

Midnight is a stallion who has long nursed a soft spot for Fluttershy. One night, Fluttershy invites him over to her place to talk. What follows is a wonderful night of passionate love.

>>119806

The fanfic recommendations are actually divided into 6 categories:

I just checked out the one marked "general".

>>119788

I'm gonna be honest here and say I occasionally use the Five Man Band tropes, because it's easier to say "The Lancer" rather than "the hero's best friend who actually does most of the work". In my defense, those terms were being used long before TvTropes existed.

>>119792

It really does seem that way, I know.

>>119792

How is this not horrible?

Jesus fuck

> This troper has a huge crush on his history teacher a few years ago. In fact, it almost verged on Stalker With A Crush; at one point, when the class was gathered around the teacher's desk to watch a video, this troper took the opportunity to discreetly sniff his hair.

>>119827

I take that as you like men.

>>119777

I remember browsing the horrible page, and they had David Tanny and shit that was actually horrible. Now, they removed that because its "Bullying".

Heres the list of horrible film.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Horrible/Film

>>119777

They used to have a section for fan fictions. Its gone cause for similar reasons.

>>119777

What you speak of is a part of the Negativity Purge, an unprecedented mass deletion that set the standard for how TVtropes handles its problems. People didn't want their circlejerks interrupted so all the negative articles were either defanged or left intentionally vague. This pretty much destroyed the "tropes are not bad" argument for a lot of pages because instead of going away the negativity was driven to places where people could argue "this trope was used in this thing thereby making it lazy/boring/offensive/unfunny". Many of the allegedly neutral articles seem to have a more negative tone than the ones that are supposed to be negative.

>This movie was made by a troper

>>119810

It's only easier to those with the same knowledge base as you, however. In conversation with non-autistics you'd be better served putting it in your own words.

It's a shame, since TVTropes originally could've been a great resource as a glossary-come-dictionary for technical terminology regarding creative devices rather than the feelings first over-analysis collective that are so deep in Social Justice Woo that they can't see the forest for the trees.

>>120182

I'll watch it. Looks horrifying, in a good way.

>>120654

It's what Wikipedia is becoming.

>>119777

I remember trolling it by removing Angel Corps and editing the Billy the Heretic article to remove the bitching about Nazis. The former edit seemed to have stuck, but the latter was reverted. I later got banned for putting the 2014 tumblr raids and Golden Dawn/FN/UKIP's successes in the EU elections as Crowning Moments of Awesome.

Also, there's this, where people bitching about DSP are somehow more insufferable than Phil himself: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Horrible/LetsPlay

>>120670

>This troper couldn't stand the Where Are They Now sketch of the episode because of the inclusion of Mesogog. Apparently, someone writing the sketch knew the Power Rangers had more than two villains over the years, and yet didn't know that Mesogog fought the Rangers in 2004! A real grown-up '90s kid no doubt scratched their head at the inclusion of a villain they had never heard about. I don't consider myself a big fan of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, but I can't help but wonder how much of the target audience became displeased after failing to see Lord Zedd (admittedly, one of my favorite villains of '90s TV) in an MMPR-related sketch.

I don't know who this kid is, but his parents need to beat him more.

>>120670

>There's a May/June 2011 episode with a particularly awful scene between Batman and The Joker. It starts out decent enough with The Joker pointing out how Batman's code of honor to never kill his enemies works to his advantage and then Batman somehow convincing the courts to put The Joker on death row. They could've ended the skit right there and it would've been hilarious for its dark irony. Instead, they go for this absolutely gruesome death scene where we see The Joker's flesh slowly melt off of his face and his eyeballs explode until his head explodes completely. And, the joke Batman and Commissioner Gordon share at the end makes no sense at all. How do you go from a relatively funny skit to something as over-the-top, unfunny, and disgusting as this? Hmm? How, Robot Chicken, how?

>Hmm?

Oh FFS

>>120670 This starts great, but it really hits golden status by the end of it.

Seth Green must have some irrational hatred of the Mario franchise, because all of the sketches involving it suck. The one that made me swear off the show for good, however, was the most recent one, called "Mario Party". The only good thing in it was the fact that Mario and Luigi didn't get brutally murdered at the end. But the reason it sucks so badly? It's not the sketch itself, which was just as unfunny as any other Mario sketch on the show. It's because they use a lot of toys of the Mario characters that I know for a fact are fake. Counterfeit toys on Robot Chicken. What. The. Fuck. I'd expect this sort of thing from The Irate Gamer, not someone who claims to be a lover of action figures and has an actual TV show. Y'know what, Seth Green? You can go take all those fake products you bought for this, and shove them all where the sun don't shine!

>>120707

Is anyone gonna tell this kid that the Robot Chicken staff makes their own models and figures most of the time because many toys are unsuitable for stop motion animation?

>>119777

>Farrah Abraham's album My Teenage Dream Ended. The lyrics and dubstep-esque beats are insanely generic, and her Auto-Tune voice shits his pants and does nothing but harm the songs. Upon the release of the album closer "Finally Getting Up from Rock Bottom", pretty much every popular news source that wrote about the song called it "the worst song ever". The album was a massive flop and has a 1.5 (out of 5) rating on iTunes.

no, MTDE is awesome. it's when she tried to actually do a song with some semblance of verse-chorus structure ("Blowin'") that she shit the bed after taking all that dickinmyass she loved so much

>>120686

> I don't consider myself a big fan of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, but

>I got upset about a sketch comedy show about it because it included a character that didn't come from the 90s and didn't include someone that came from the 90s

>>120707

Its a stop motion sketch comedy show. Who gives a fuck? I don't say this often, and maybe I'm not one to talk because I make comments about plot holes in movies for a living on youtube, but how does this affect the work itself?

>>117476

I use the site to find games, movies, or shows with similar tropes that I like. Isn't that what it's meant for? It seems to work pretty well.

Perhaps we could make the site better by purging cancer.

>>120831

>I make comments about plot holes in movies for a living on youtube.

Are you aware you and your ilk are in part responsible of this autism? One day you will pay for your crimes.

>>120851

You will need a group of many like minded tropers to change the status quo.

>>120851

Or you could just use AlltheTropes, which is a fork and is apparently cancer free

>>120676

I dunno. I think Wikipedia might be far, far worse

>>120686

>kid

That show its from the early 90s, assuming the guy was maybe 9 or 10 he must be mid thirties by now

So not a kid but a grown ass man who somehow its still obsessed about a rehash of a japanese show from two decades ago

No beating can solve that, euthanize

>>120906

I watched Power Rangers as a kid (the original and the accompanying movie) and I am 26 (as of march).

I'm sure your estimate isn't too far off.

Yes, pull a Rika. You're a different person now, so everything you've said and done before doesn't count. Sophie.

>>121009

I was a different person to begin with. That was almost entirely synthetic and circumstantial to non-innate factors. I know neu(g)rotypicals are hard of thinking but the obvious inference here was far from Sherlockian in requisite to reach.

>>121009

You mean pull a Johnny boy. John went from calling people dikes and niggers (iirc) and telling politicians he's going to kick her in the cunt (or something like that), to "being" a "woman" fighting "misogyny".

I believe people can change and be forgiven, but to be forgiven you have try to make up for the shit you did, not just pretend it didn't happen.

There was a Liberian warlord who destroyed (and raped) countless families. He now spends his life going to church and finding every single person he wronged and apologizing in person. It won't bring back the people he killed nor will it unrape the people he raped, but simply hanging the man wouldn't bring them back either.

>>119799

This

>I really liked the part where The Big Bad sent his Dragon against the Hero

>I liked the part where that evil emperor guy - what's his name? Pal 0' Mine? Palpamine? Palpatine? Whatever - sent out Vader against the good guys.

>>119784

Same here. I think I started on the Fallout 3 one. I found out about lot of other stuff that I wanted to see in games, certain charachters (The Knight in Sour Armor (Good guy who's taken some shit in his life but never stops doing good) was one of my favorites).

I never made an account, I never entered the forums. I saw some of the autism, like nightmare fuel or tear jerkers, but always took it as "These are the more subjective pages."

>>121062

Tvtropes is a good way to make it sound like you're talking about nothing whenever you talk about stories. Proper nouns are important, if you want to reduce everything down to a few elements then go to any church.

Not even tropers like Bob, and he's basically one of them.

Actually on re-think it's about 50/50.

50% sperging in the way that only TV Tropes can

50% typical /cow/ thread on Bob

Still funny that even TV Tropes hate him.

>>121227

>He claims that this is Peter trying to be badass, and the reason why he behaves like that is because he's a hopeless dweeby geek that has no point of reference of what an actual badass is like, so he goes with what he "thinks" it is. Not only is that insulting to geeks in general (specially considering the patronizing tone of the whole video), but also it doesn't make any sense whatsoever, neither in the context of the movie nor of the Spider-Man mythos.

How fucking autistic can you be holy fuck. Why do people self identify as "geeks" anyway in the first place?

>>121233

From my understanding, people who self identify as geeks or nerds are either hipsters who think it's cool to be a nerd, or autistics with a desperate need to label themselves, or both.

Yea, companies are evil, but hating on them because people die using the product when there's a warning label on every pack and its far from the only industry that produces something harmful is hypocritical unless you want to apply the same standard to others.

>The Fairly OddParents episode "Love Struck!" is nothing but a big middle-finger to LGBT societies!

>Captain Lhurgoyf: In his review of "Jeepers Creepers Where Is Peepers", he objects to the villain being drawn in an Animesque art style because "Dexter's Lab never had anything to do with anime." Uh…what? From the beginning, Dexter's Laboratory was strongly influenced by anime - not in terms of art style, granted, but certainly in terms of thematic and storytelling elements; hell, there was an episode where Dexter used a Humongous Mecha to fight a Kaiju! I love Mr. Enter, but for an expert on animation, no less one who happens to be a fan of Dexter's Lab, that mistake is unforgivable.

>>121628

>I love Mr. Enter

Says it all really

>>121584

I think that one's the Jaime/Cersei scene actually.

>>121628

>MrEnter

>An expert on animation

If you show that nigga a cartoon made before 1990 he'll scratch his head and probably react with shock that cartoons have existed for that long. His entire shtick is "find something I watched where a thing happened that I don't like and bitch until the video is over."

The closest he ever comes to "criticism" is whining that he doesn't like the way characters act or what decisions they make. It's fucking tripe.

It's doubtful MrEnter even knows what anime even IS.

>>121567

>only appears in the plane crashing scene

Holy shit, this is an insult to Nolan (pbuh) if there ever was one. It shows a distinct lack of attention paid to CIA's presence in the plane boarding scene as well, and cripples his character development by excluding such a valuable part of his history.

>>121653

Meme aside, CIA is the only character besides Bane and Alfred I actually like in that movie. Compared to Batman and the cop spending the entire movie being angsty and depressed, CIA is a breath of fresh air.

What's worse? He still manages to fail to learn the basics and consistently (and we mean consistently) blaming the game for his faults. Doesn't sound bad right? He does this in nearly THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE LP. It gets even worse. On emotional cutscenes especially the ending, he still finds a way to ruin with his terrible Running Gag of making inappropriate comments in the most mean-spirited fashion. It's that unbearable

>>121447

I've said years ago; nerds, or maybe more specifically autists, are the undisputed masters of completely missing the point of what they base their entire life around.

>>122139

It's not unique to nerds.

TV Tropes is useful for finding new shows and other media you might like.

For writers, it's actually useful for teaching you what NOT to write.

The community itself is retarded though. Check out any of their nightmare fuel pages. They'll post anything even mildly unsettling or odd.

>>122173

>For writers, it's actually useful for teaching you what NOT to write.

Yes, condensing writing in a bland, building-block process where you arbitrarily decide what to include and what not to include based on the fact that it fits into some vague, nonsensical monolithic "trope" will surely make your writing fresh, intelligent and interesting and not focus grouped and neutered to hell.

What gets me more than anything is the fact that every single "trope" is named after some inane pop culture reference

>>122190

Fuck that. All a story needs is a few chapters going into excruciating detail about the different terms for wearing different lengths of socks, and why one length is objectively superior to all other lengths.

>>122190

Nononono

He's saying that you are told what not to write by way of the tropers telling you what they want to read. You are given a list of demands and it is your job as a writer to casually shit on everything on that list and more, because the controversy alone will make your shit sell. Such is anti-pandering to spergs.

>>122190

I think you misunderstand what he was saying.

>>122214

So, "The Age of Innocence"?

>>122215

Alright, fair enough.

When I see people reel off tropes online, I can't help but think that they see themselves as the equivalent of a doctor diagnosing a patient with a disease. They have the same sense of morbidity and clearly think they're performing some very high level analysis. It would be amazing to see one of them talk to a professional writer in tropespeak.

>I loved your use of the Narrator In The Fridge and I really didn't see you pulling a Well Known Secret, especially after you set the scene with Cosby's Camouflage

>… thank you?

>>122190

Nah, what I meant was partially what >>122215

said. Also, it should teach you that stories aren't just a bunch of tropes stitched together, and you shouldn't look at it as such. Tropes in of themselves aren't bad, it's when there aren't any connecting elements or they're done poorly or in a cliche and boring way that makes for shit writing.

>>120889

Thanks for the tip.

>>119825

This is just a wild stab in the dark:

>The girl in the video is a hipster feminist

>The song is about male entitlement

>Her boyfriend wants love (men feel entitled to womens emotions)

>Her boyfriend wants sandwich (feminists always use this as an example when whining about their opression)

>Her boyfriend wants everything (again, entitlement)

>Her boyfriend wants BUG (sex?)

>>123183

I think you're pushing an agenda onto a silly song. This happens a lot.

>>123184

Probably. I was reading about radfems in >>122177, switched thread, and landed on this song by mistake. Feminism was just fresh in my mind.

Special snowflake shit in a kids movie. Yep, they think this will happen.

> Riley is genderqueer

Going by the trailer, all of her Dad's emotions seem to be male, while all of mom's emotions seem to be female. Riley, on the other hand, has three female emotions, while other two-fifths or her psyche are male. Additionally, maybe this film will be in part about LBGT issues and show Riley exploring her gender identity.

>I'd find this an enjoyable plot but given that Pixar targets young children and their families with their movies, this is sadly unlikely. I'd applaud Pixar if they had the gumption to do it though.

>The Emotions are shown in the Japanese trailer to have appeared for Riley in her infant/toddler years the way they are in the present. It could be that the gender of a person's Emotions is random at their birth, and they remain like that through their life. It's entirely possible that the older Andersons could have had all their Emotions be their opposite gender, or a mix, but they just happened to have a set of Emotions that are all their same gender.

Deconstructed tropes doesn't necessarily mean played for drama or darker & edgier than played straight, but played realistically with consequences.

>>123885

I think it means you want to be a pretendian.

>>117507

I still think it's mental that anyone seriously thought this would be a useful writing tool for adults. I know writers and I'd never heard of this before all the drama. It's just silly.

>>123658

>"gender is a social construct and made up by the Patriarchy to oppress us special snowflakes!"

>"sometimes I like stereotypically girly things and sometimes I like stereotypically manly things. I'm genderqueer, teehee!"

I know it's retarded expecting consistency from SJWs, but still.

>>123554

Maybe it's because I'm not an autist, but when I saw the trailer I just assumed that the mix of male and female emotions were because she inherited certain traits from her mother and father. Her anger emotion is male because she has her dad's temper which is why they both react the same way when her dad tries to put his foot down.

>>120992

Oh, like you wouldn't.

>>124103

But you haven a trope like Raping and Pillaging. How can that not be played realistically?

Because that doesn't win them SJ Points.

>>117476

In my opinion, TV Tropes is a bit too big to put its entire userbase under one category.

I do find it a good way to discover new media.

For the negative:

I did once suggest that the trope "Misogyny Song" should incorperate misandry in the title as well, since misandrist examples got lumped into the same article.

A mod linked me to this thread, where he had turned down the suggestion before:

>>118028

>>118029

From what I can guess, the "Useful Notes" articles (like the ones you linked) are there for comparison. The subjects they cover are usually things that pop up in fiction, but …

Actually, I'll just let them explain it:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UsefulNotes

And here's an article on Gun Safety for your trouble:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/GunSafety

>>117476

I browse the site often and I like it

I would never dream of writing anything on there myself though, I'm not nearly autistic enough for that

>>128377

>>128377

I'll sometimes add to fiction I'm interested in, usually entries that don't get that much attention because the average troper isn't into it.

The Alan Parsons Project, for example.

So much complaining and whining

>>128520

Oops, sorry. Wrong thread.

>>128518

> The episode Go Fund Yourself really bugged me, aside from not getting a strong laugh out of me, this episode is just ignorant. Matt and Trey bash on Kickstarter and crowdfunding in general, by commenting on the several people that abuse it for free money with weak ideas, sure that's ok for a cheap laugh, but what really annoyed me is that there is no mention of any positive contributions that crowdfunding has done

Oh gee, maybe its because whatever positive contributions that came from that site are outnumbered by the broken promises and scams that go unpunished from their staff who are supposed to do something about it when things go wrong.

>>120682

>where people bitching about DSP are somehow more insufferable than Phil himself

Is that even possible?

>>128524

Oh yes, because in a satire you have to make sure to bring up all the cool things about the thing you're satirizing.

Remember that scene in Robocop when they talked about how great America was to the homeless? And how corporations give a lot of money to worthy charities?

>>128524

I wonder if these people think that South Park is being compromising and just when they agree with the episode.

>>128665

I think most of these types want the world to match up completely with their opinions.

I was part of this shit near the beginning back in 2009-early 10. The site went to shit after the initial purge. Originally the thing was like ED-lite, mostly full of jokes and backhanded comments, links for file-sharing and torrents when somebody expressed interest in this shit. In fact that original group had alot of kids in college or grad school disgusted by the leftist agenda in media for the last 50+ years. It seemed like half the shit was about picking apart retarded hippy crap, especially from 90s scifi and earlier print media.

Then fasteddie decided to kick out 80% of the users because we, didn't take it seriously. After that it became a ghost town, then a center for SJW faggots. The real tipping point was the fact that everybody was making fun of Avatar in 2010 and certain liberal faggots didn't like people talking about slaughtering blue space elves.

>>128508

>I used to do the same as well. Because when your site that claims to "celebrate fiction" has 200+ subpages for MLP but some classic Hollywood film with actual artistic merit has a one-paragraph synopsis and less than ten tropes, something's fucking wrong.

Like a said up at the top of the thread, that's basically everything wrong with the place. Its mostly just manchildren with a stunted and childish world view who think that daytime western animation and merch-driven shonen are par with classic literature. There's nothing wrong with liking some kid's media, but they'd have to be pretty ignorant of the world beyond their NEET dungeon to think MLP fanfics are as important as Kafka or Whitman.

>>128979

People taking the internet too seriously usually does drive communities into the ground

>>120001

SOCJUS in action, it started with "pedoshit". That's how it always starts the lowest common denominator.

>>121022

Only almost entirely. Meaning there was some truth to it.

>>129069

SOCJUS didn't start it, they just took over after the Negativity Purge. The fan circlejerks didn't want to be bothered by irregular visitors OR political correctness, which Fast Eddie seems to have been satisfied with at the time. Then a bunch of goons got involved, which is where CrazyGoggs came from. The goons had a lot of pretty common complaints but were most upset about the lack of action taken toward people they felt shouldn't be allowed around there. The fan circlejerks did not like this and Fast Eddie ignored it for a while, but eventually he cracked and went into panic-mode. Mass purges came back as Eddie hoped that anything that could get him in trouble with either the law or advertisers was getting deleted. The good news is this did get rid of some of the fan circlejerks' crap, but as I mentioned in another thread, these cleanups tend to be very spotty and often focus on the wrong things, so very little if anything is truly clean.

>>129209

Never noticed that.

>>117476

I've been reading it for a few months now and I actually kinda like it. Gives names to things I've always noticed, even non-tropes on its trivia section, and introduced me to literary concepts like Chekhov's Gun and whatnot, and learning more about some genres. Yeah it's autism but it's interesting autism.

That said though, the fact that shit like MLP is always being drawn in leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And I never got involved with the userbase so I can't say anything about it or know the hatred they get.

>>117483

>It's litter used for anything deemed "problematic" or "any I don't like".

A few of their sections can be interesting, especially when they're talking about some more antiquated stuff

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ForgottenTrope

>>129339

Yeah, the Unbuilt Trope, the Ur Example and Trope Codifier stuff, and things like Vindicated by History and Deader Than Disco, and Creator Backlash, are what I had in mind.

I guess it's just the userbase drama that should be avoided

>>123665

FYI, Patrick Stewart fucking loved playing Picard

>>129214

FastEddie was that perfect storm of terrible moderation; lazy, oblivious, and ham-fisted.

>>129339

>>129399

Seems like TVtropes is actually interesting and even useful when talking about the way tropes and genres and such are used, but descends into mindless pedantry when focusing on the tropes themselves.

Of course they file all the interesting shit under YMMV and Trivia now because they're terrified of offending anyone or causing edit wars.

>>129004

Isn't there a site called allthetropes or something that has all the 'negative'(not-sjw friendly) articles?

It's an entertaining time killer, but god is the userbase awful. Whenever someone describes "nightmare fuel" in a show the way they do, they make it seem ultra horrifying when they describe it, even when the source material often ends up much more benign.

>>144484

It is not entertaining, the website is retarded. Reality itself is apparently a meme.

Gravity - Gravity is the trope often seen in media where people can not fly. It is a common yet ridiculous trope in many films. Here are some examples.

>>144496

>It is not entertaining

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

That gravity thing sounds pretty retarded, though.

>How the female characters, Gazelle and Roxy were written. No nude scenes, neither are sexually objectified, and prove to be badass. Even Princess Tilde gets a nod in the post:

Roxy isn't made to be the typical Love Interest for Eggsy and proves to be very skilled despite not getting a lot of screen time.

Gazelle: "A woman of colour, who is not only mentoring the villain, but she turned her disability into deadly advantage."

Princess Tilde: "The princess proposed sex to him, not the other way around, and it was her idea to make it anal. She didn’t passively fell into Eggsy’s arms as a prize, she very actively wanted to have sex with the guy, who saved the world. I don’t know how owning her sexuality and enjoying sex lessens the fact that she was the only one who stood up to Valentine or that she didn’t break after month of imprisonment."

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/ThatTroper

I was not aware this website was so autistic, I thought it was just a wiki for tropes like a guy getting shot tearing open his shirt to reveal his kevlar vest, then discarding it

>>180543

The wiki does have a lot of merit that way. A lot of articles are genuinely interesting. Like the "lampshading" one.

At the same time, tropes are basically every sperg's ultimate wet-dream. They allow you to relentlessly categorize every. single. thing. Everything is either played straight, subverted, lampshaded or parodied, no exceptions. It's reductionism for the sake of creating a nice orderly system.

That reductionism is what SOCJUS loves to use. Any art which qualifies for the Damsel in Distress trope must automatically be bad. After all, the trope is anti-woman, therefore the art is bad.

>>180602

That's the problem with thinking in "tropes." It condenses writing down to bland, generic building blocks instead of a fluid, abstract concept. So the end result is a bunch of extremely dull, tasteless, brainless, sanitized entertainment written not by someone's own imagination but by a bland checklist.

[X] Use - Five Man Band

[X] Don't Use - Damsel in Distress

Etc.

This is a really WTF way to end a juvenile adventure movie.

>>180717

not only is that WTF, it's also so forced.

>>180730

Keep in mind, this occurs right after a deus ex machina ending where the good guys activate security implants that make the bad guys heads explode.

God that movie was fucking terrible. The fact that internet nerds loved it so much cemented my opinion that nerds are retarded.

>>180752

>autism

Deus ex machina does not literally have to be divine intervention, and it doesn't even have to be something that was never mentioned in the plot before. Any overly convenient plot device that saves the hero in the nick of time but which defies reason or insults the audience's intelligence is deus ex machina.

But I do remember long ass threads about is PUA good or bad, uh gender threads (Kino and Barkey made a 'masculine male' thread to fight against uh emo complaining? well Kino made the thread, Barkey just hung out in it sometimes).

>>144539

funny how you're criticizing someone using the word 'faggot' on a *chan and calling them 'autistic'. Heh, the world has changed.

So how has TV Tropes been? I haven't been there much since Fast Eddie sold the place. Noticed the new webmasters cleaned up the formatting which is nice I guess.

>>117518

I studied abroad this year and met a sperg from Canada. I only had one conversation with him.

I was playing Magic with a friend in the dorm and another friend of ours, who the sperg sometimes followed around, was playing Mario Kart or something in the same room, so the sperg was there as well. My friend put on Rammstein and I made a half-assed joke about the German lyrics sounding angry even though the music was pretty calm.

The sperg said "This is what TVTropes would call lyrical dissonance" and proceeded to stutter through the definition of lyrical dissonance according to TVTropes. Every time I interrupted him to say that I already know what lyrical dissonance is and this isn't an example of it, since none of us could understand the lyrics in the first place, he'd start over. Then he got really mad at me and tried to storm out of the room, but then came back and awkwardly waited for his "friend" to follow him (he didn't).

>cliched protagonist: It's quiet, too quiet!

>cliched antagonist: I knew you'd be here, you'll never defeat me!

This is the type of gutter dialogue you'll see being defended, which they'll tell you is not cliches, but just "tropes being used."

It really revolves around what we were discussing in

>>128378

>>128508

Namely, that the lions share of the sites cocks is either children's media or weeb shit.

The vast majority of western kids cartoons (I know, I sound like a weeb myself for saying this) is really pretty formulaic and you tend to see the same cliches appear again and again and again across different shows. And anime have their own set of cliches too.

Now if they seriously valued fiction, you'd see more entries on Hollywood classics or [insert /lit/ elitism here], but no, you get a list of all the cliches used in Fairly Odd Parents

>>118580

The problem is that TVtropes refuses to meaningfully differentiate between storytelling elements and devices, cliches, themes, archetypes, and mere aesthetics, and doesn't care whether something was done on purpose or coincidentally. 'Trope' ends up meaning nothing more than 'Thing that happens' and it becomes worse than useless for an actual writer.

It did help me, when I was sixteen or so. I've long grown out of TvTropes by now. Just like fedoratheism can set you up on a path to legitimate philosophy, so TvTropes can initiate you to analyzing works in the first place. Bad things happen when you never grow out of this, though.

maybe you could help adding stuff, they're WAYYY behind in terms works covered

i should get back to it to

I would've taken the autism of '15 TV Tropes over the SJW autism of '16 TV Tropes.

I've longtime lurked here on /cow/, laughed my ass off at a lot of the stuff you guys have posted, and since I happen to run one of those focal points of autism you guys laugh at, just here to do a little AMA, saying hi.

I'm GethN7, founder of All The Tropes on Miraheze (formerly Orain, before they went down) and Wikia, and they are basically two branches of the same site, as I run and support both.

And yes, I'm an admitted autist. You guys want to call me an aspie or rag on me for that, open fire with both barrels, I don't give a shit. Hell, I'm fairly immune to trolling at this point, just try to make it funny if you want to troll me.

Anyway, just to let you guys have a little info on why ATT is "cancer-free" (or why it seems like that's the idea) on both branches.

1. We killed Troper Tales and Fetish Fuel because they were fucked up hives of perversion and that shit was rightly mocked. Our Orain/Miraheze branch killed that stuff off within days of founding, and the Wikia stuff was deleted not long after. I got a little whining on the Wikia fork for wanting to burn that crap, but Wikia Staff backed my decision to do so (I showed them the really fucked up stuff and they were happy to set it on fire) and most of the perverts who continued to give me grief got thrown out (especially that sick pedo fuck TGComix, fuck that SOB)

2. We don't really have a formal forum culture on either branch, and what little forums we do have is strictly for discussion of technical crap for keeping the wiki going. The staff of ATT decided early on the forum culture of TV Tropes was a mistake and we didn't want to repeat it.

3. We do allow making pages about adult works like hentai, but we maintain a strict "don't jack off while writing the page" policy. It's tropable media, it deserves to have pages, and we collectively believe it's bullshit that TV Tropes bends over and takes it for Google on that point, but we try to just keep the pages from becoming jerkoff shrines, they are strictly limited to the facts.

4. If you guys want to see some real autism, go check out the Complete Monster edit wars (more on Wikia than Miraheze). Thankfully, we have some strict rules on how to keep that under control, but those pages are a clusterfuck of autistic circlejerking, and I'm especially grateful for one of our admins, who mostly monitors that crap and does most of the heavylifting of keeping that autism in check.

5. We try to avoid "powerleveling". One, most of us at ATT are wise to the internet and know you shouldn't put crap out in public you don't want to haunt you later, and I especially know guys like the good people here will point and laugh at that sort of faggotry.

6. TV Tropes and All The Tropes have a cordial relationship these days. We make sure we don't plagiarize each other due to our different licenses, and I've even tipped off TV Tropes about a few trolls like Nate Spidgewood (guy is DEFINITELY a lolcow, archived some of his more unhinged rants on my blog). Our site doesn't interact with them much, but we try to keep drama between us down to nothing. Fast Eddie hated the hell out of us, but the current owner is willing to live and let live and we're willing to do the same.

If you guys have any other questions, just ask.

>>213257

What's the story behind that shit on the trope pantheon page?

>>213257

> We killed Troper Tales and Fetish Fuel because they were fucked up hives of perversion and that shit was rightly mocked.

Is that one of or the reason that TV Tropes shut down their own troper tales section? On one hand, I'm glad that shit got shut down because it was downright creepy some times, but on the other, it was good for a cheap laugh some times.

>>213257

>>213277

>>213278

The Trope Pantheon, I don't know for certain. It started as some innocent little "which characters from certain media would be the most emblematic of certain tropes and it mutated into some sad as hell jerk off fantasy multiplayer fanfic.

Here, did a blog post on how terrible it's become here:

http://gethn7.blogspot.com/2016/02/i-discuss-valkyrie-drive-mermaid-and.html

Yes, Troper Tales and Fetish Fuel were killed off for being creepy as fuck and some cocks was almost skirting into outright illegal territory (I puked reading the brother-sister incest page, that was some sick shit) on TV Tropes, and after a very brief abortive attempt to try salvaging some of the more innocent Troper Tales on ATT (which was immediately discovered to be a fool's errand), we chucked it in the bonfire with the Fetish Fuel crap, haven't looked back since, don't regret it.

>>213257

What was the initial reaction to your site from TV Tropes?

Also, how accurate is this? https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Vandal/How-to#Various_Ways_To_Shit_Up_TV_Tropes

>>213283

Warning, long assed tl;dr ahead.

From ordinary tropers, bemusement, confusion, and a bit of contempt were the general reaction, though in their defense, there was a trope wiki fork that preceded my own attempts called the Trope Mirror Wiki (the predecessor to the current Wikia fork of ATT), started by an ex-troper named Jack Butler that was mostly a "we'll form our own, with blackjack and hookers" kind of deal.

Jack was a big enemy of what he considered the anime over-influence on the wiki (in his defense,he's wasn't completely wrong, anime crap had seeped into a LOT of aspects of the troping wiki), and so his wiki tried to be all uber serious and he tried to lump all anime into the cartoon section.

Unfortunately, Jack was woefully inept at actually running a wiki, and pissed off Wikia big time and got himself permabanned for trying to delete everything when he wanted to move to independent hosting 9and that soon died completely), where it law fallow for quite some time until a disgruntled former troper there resumed running things named Anime Addict.

Anime Addict was much less of an anime hater (as the name suggests), but guy had a huge W40K boner and tried to import some bizarre ideas, like his own weird ideas for categories and he was really anal about keeping track of the date he last edited an article (in some ways, he was so autistic I cringed). However, what REALLY got him in hot water was his blatant contempt for copyright (TV Tropes was still under CC BY SA at this point), and around the time Fast Eddie got wind he was running the show, he was initially dismissive, thinking it would amount to little more than Jack Butler's attempts, but I took over sometime afterward after Anime Addict skipped town for a couple months (leaving me able to adopt it from Wikia), and around that time I used the TV Tropes dump done by Brent Laabs around July 2012 to start mass importing articles.

Fast Eddie took a lot more notice, especially since I had gotten enough articles imported we were more than an easily ignorable joke, and when I pointed out I could do so under CC BY SA licensing, he got really mad and told me to fuck off more or less forever even though I wasn't breaking any laws, and soon after changed the TV Tropes license to CC BY NC SA (illegally, I might add) out of spite.

Around this time, I had partnered up with Brent and we had decided to formally set up a full fledged fork of TV Tropes on non Wikia hosting (what became ATT Orain), and sometime after that, I reimported the fork from Orain over the Wikia cocks (since Anime Addict and Jack had left a lot of copyright violating artifacts behind and I wanted to start over with a clean slate).

By this point, we were persona non grata on TV Tropes, and that continued until he finally decided to step down and hand over control to the current owner, Drew Schoentrup.

Brent met with Drew in person soon after, and after some initial attempt by Drew to essentially buy us out, which we declined, we had a long, uneasy truce, occasionally marred by some teething problems, as a lot of tropers still had a lot of Fast Eddie's contempt for us, but since it was clear we weren't going away, that settled down, and after we hammered out a deal for TV Tropes to remove some of their more blatantly illegal copyright changes (they have still kept the NC-SA license change, but removed an even more illegal clause saying they owned everyone's contributions retroactively), we mellowed out quite a bit, and after we worked out a deal to keep peace in the valley (and I even helped report some phishers when they got phished at one point and helped keep tabs on a few persistent vandals), the response has basically been "you do your thing, we'll do ours", and we've gotten along just fine.

On that page on how to fuck up TV Tropes, I'd say it's fairly accurate in most particulars, as I spent a lot of time researching PmWiki during the time I and Brent were ironing out how to do a fork (we picked MediaWiki as our wiki engine because PmWiki is frankly dogshit), and most of what they recommend is still viable, given what I know of how their modified form of PmWiki works (I extensively studied the page source code with the element inspection tools of my web browser to get an idea how the place worked while ATT was in its planning phases), and since they still appear to be using the same site code as before (it just has a nicer look now), most of that page should still be current, though I don't doubt they have some better tools for undoing vandalism by now.

>** Bob himself has been gradually falling in popularity recently.

>For much of mid to late 2000s, he was a well-liked internet personality who was gaining good traction for his movie reviews and videos on obscure yet cheesy 80s B-movies.

>Starting out with a channel on YouTube in 2006, he moved to ScrewAttack before joining The Escapist with two well-regarded shows and a weekly column.

>However, Bob began losing traction as time went on because of his oft-controversial opinions on pop culture.

>In 2010, he praised the divisive VideoGame/MetroidOtherM as inherently superior to the well-loved [[VideoGame/MetroidPrime Prime]] trilogy just because the Prime games [[BiasSteamroller were FPSs]].

>He would release four separate videos aimed at bashing anyone supporting the "Retake Mass Effect" movement, even though he admitted he'd [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch never actually played or cared about any of the games]].

>Furthermore, many of his works became more focused on SoapBoxSadie views and blatant [[FanHater attacks on fans of works he despises]], turning off many of his fans.

>Even people who supports Bob's goal of [[StopBeingStereotypical improving nerd culture]] feel that [[DontShootTheMessage his caustic attitude is overshadowing out his legitimate points]].

>Eventually Bob lost his job at The Escapist and he went back to ScrewAttack, although the site's crew made it explicitly known they just host Bob and don’t share his viewpoints.

>While he still does have a following, Bob has also garnered a growing {{Hatedom}} moreso compared to similar personalities like Jim Sterling and Yahtzee.

Just when I thought I'd found some degree of sanity on their site a few months ago they went and removed this section from Deader than Disco. Apparently if Bob "The Game Non-Thinker" Chipman claims something is dead it's a fact, but he himself is forever hip and current.

I have noticed that spergs love Warhammer, and shoehorn it everywhere in a similar way to MLP, From imageboards to Trump. I don't get the appeal, it's just over the top space marine done in such ridiculous way that it must be some fine meta satire.

Another thing I notice from Tv Tropes is they consider everything dark, you can't search it trying to find something to watch or read without reading how sad, serious and griim Cardfight Buddy Fight is. I mean, come on, it's just cartoons.

>We killed Fetish Fuel because they were fucked up hives of perversion

i thought that category was pointless since pretty anything can be a fetish for someone (see /d/, /erp/ and f-list).

>>213326

Oh, I agree, and that was the basic argument for making sure it stayed dead and buried when we killed it, same argument TV Tropes also made, and neither they nor us ever want it back.

40k is really, really dense. As crazy as it sounds TvT probably hasn't covered all the details yet.

>The sperg said "This is what TVTropes would call lyrical dissonance" and proceeded to stutter through the definition of lyrical dissonance according to TVTropes. Every time I interrupted him to say that I already know what lyrical dissonance is and this isn't an example of it, since none of us could understand the lyrics in the first place, he'd start over. Then he got really mad at me and tried to storm out of the room, but then came back and awkwardly waited for his "friend" to follow him (he didn't).

Fucking damn man i knew a guy who would read TVTropes constantly and was this autistic as it went on to be painfully obvious i notice they always lose a lot of friends and are outcasts for not getting why they are annoying. I will just greentext it. Then explain my feelings on it. Its better everyone is warned against being friends with any of these types that like to read TVTropes.

>Have a friend that browses tvtropes constantly

>Says its much better than the wikis because it gives more info(complete bullshit one creates autism the other prevents it)

>Always makes references other bullshit to sound cool

>Make a small comparison to one anime in particular with the swords in the ground everywhere scene and Berserk Zodd battle with swords in the ground everywhere except in snow.

>ITS NOT THE TROPE NAMER IT ALL STARTED WITH ALEXANDER SWORD AND THE STONE

>Nah im done with this shit

Something i have always noticed with anyone that uses these tropes and lives for it is that to them it feels like they are part of the cool crowd or that they have hidden knowledge or know a lot. They also take everything on TVTropes as absolute fact because it exists on the site and its never wrong. When the truth is its kind of easy to copypasta and write things that happen constantly in stories or in life or even things that are conjecture. Sometimes they will even use TVTropes as an argument tool when its really shitty compared to actual information and research.

Its not really a trope or hidden knowledge or even makes anyone look cool. Its just full blown autism of people that are antisocial and have bad social skills and try to act like the cool guy saying meme stuff or writing things that are obvious plot elements down, trying to predict everything or even spoiling events that happen for others, and lastly just try to copy and paste from others and be something they are not for attention. Nobody likes these assholes and neither do i.

I also have noticed lately even some youtubers are starting to adopt the whole TVTropes shit and act like "it adopts the ROOL OF KOOL in this anime"(Digibro) and then you have a reviewer that tries to act like the problem with Sonic is because it follows under the BIG BAD and all of this silly shit. I mean how is that even a review or pointing out something new? Its just the obvious stating the obvious. Oh look i just dropped my pencil i am now the trope namer for having to pick it up in front of class! Its not some new concept or something that makes the reviewer interesting. Its just annoying and no one wants to be around it these shuddercows.

Are you Tony Mamet? I fucking love Lakeboat. Was it all filmed on the Seaway Queen, or were parts of it done on a set? You were pretty good, but J.J. Johnston as Stan was the best character by far.
