What do you guys think of TV Tropes?

more like TV nopes
I created the page for Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon.
I was into it before they got all SJW and started removing "objectionable" entries which are completely valid in film.

excellent source of drama and it's fun to laugh at the "nightmare fuel" pages to see what nerds are afraid of
>>63342084
Pretty based, that's one of the best games of the year.
If you think about it, they are just memes. In fact the world is created on memes. You see someone do something once and it works, you copy it, try to make it better etc. This goes back to things like the discovery of fire, or an animal walking in a circle before laying down, etc. Its all memes that we keep building on.
This troper thinks it's an excellent site :-)
I forgot it existed

If reddit didn't already exist, this would be reddit:the site.
>>63341212
I think they're desperate for more clicks and are having problems keeping their website upright. Why else market on 4chan of all places?
>>63341212
It's an important tool for recording our culture
Imagine if there was a database of ancient Chinese jokes and memes, or one for Shakespeare's time. Who knows what reference his plays make that are completely lost on us??

Who the fuck lies about this? I'm the one who made it
What's the most autistic thing on that site?
>>63342084

I admit to liking it.

What the fuck? Source?
I've found some amazing things in the past because of some bizarre and really specific tropes. I harbour no ill will and it's a useful resource.
Who the fuck created the page for Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon?

YOU FUCKING LIAR I MADE IT
>>63341212
Started out great in its early years. Like creepypasta. Then went to shit when everyone and their brother started making up tropes for even the smallest fucking things and giving them absurd fucking names.
Don't read the comments/forums.

Isn't the idea of a safe space to not be infringed upon? Where are my fucking rights?
>>63342376
Are you kidding? They've been doing that for ten years now.
>>63342376
They do that already

Which one of you did this?
Who /Fennekin/ here?

They only remove stuff like "rape" and they removed certain lolicon stuff. However during the later part they still have the "Lolita" page up. Though a lot of it was to keep advertisers happy and creepy people out. There are also times they had to lock pages that have a lot of hate.
Nothing actually SJW though.

>taking ED's word as gospel in 2015
There are reasons that site isn't nearly as active these days, you know
I know it's autistic but I immediately go to pages for movies I've just seen and add tropes I think are missing
>>63342304
It was just to please the Google AdSense gods so they could have revenue. Less malicious edits and more hastily stuffing all the "rape" pages in the corner so they could advertise better
>>63342441
did IsaJo create the page? am I reading this right? it's the very bottom of the page history
The forums are incredible. Better trolling potential than Reddit.
>>63342767
Explain? I really don't like the format tbqh
>>63342788
TVtropes has been known to host some of the more autistic, creepy and beta people on the internet.
>>63342788
They just don't know when to stop falling for bait. And they're hyper-autistic enough to constantly update their anime fanfic pages. Just a really good audience.
>>63341212
useful and interesting imo

Extremely anti-white Just take a look into their forums

Are you retarded, autistic or both?
Their SJW bias is more than visible, especially in trope entries pertaining to things like race and gender. They are a bunch of white-hating feminist marxist manchildren.

This piece of shit was made by turdtropers aswell, they're edit-protecting it and dogpile on everyone trying to revert changes or change the article title at least.

Do you understand what irony is? You sound exactly like them. Down to the meaningless buzzwords and irrational, kneejerk bias.

How could you possibly know that? Do the editors announce what site they're from?

What is a trope? Is it like a meme?
>>63341212
I hate this fucking website. I have being seeing it for years and still don't understand a single line on any of those pages.
I don't.
I like it. The truth is: everything can be dismantled into tropes so it's a bit useless but it's useful if you want to find things in the same vein as something you like.
but when people take it seriously (Feminist Frequencies), that becomes too much.
>>63342244
This troper is calling you a shitlord because I made it.
>>63341212
tvtropes now a trope.
pottery man, pure pottery.
>>63343241
They are lists. Like in Wikipedia. But its lists of cliches on a character or work. But TVtropes go very overboard with it. However a lot of them are made by themselves by their own slang.
>>63343257
Tropes themselves are an actual thing.
FemFreq has nothing to do with TVTropes and people there dislike her as much as anyone else would. Her page is even locked because of it.
It has a big problem in that pages tend to be created and edited by fans of the work. People go there and want to help, because they're fans. Because they want to help, some of them create spurious reasons for doing so. They want something they wrote to be part of the entry on the thing they love. So you get a lot of shitty, not-really-applicable claims of tropes being present.
An example: The Getting Crap Past The Radar trope was listed as occurring in Sherlock when Irene Adler is bombarding Holmes with texts - specifically the text that says "I'm not hungry. Let's have dinner." Now, there is absolutely no sense in which that constitutes "getting crap past the radar", but some Sherlock fan liked the line, liked TV Tropes, and wanted to help.
You also get coded passive-aggressive arguments. I don't know if they have a meta-trope about it a la Report Siht, though they really should, but frequently you'll see some trope listed, with an additional point below it added by someone else saying "Subverted in that..." and some nonsense reason. They should define subversion as robustly as possible and make what amounts to "Subverted in that I liked it" a big no-no.
>>63343241
Some of them are very poorly written. They have a trope called Two Lines, No Waiting. I went to the page for it and it's this absolute rambling mess, paragraph after paragraph of incoherent almost-gibberish. Six paragraphs deep and I still had absolutely no idea what the fuck it was talking about.
On trope main pages, you'll see a tab marked 'Laconic'. That will take you to a single-paragraph, often single-sentence explanation of the trope. That's how I came to understand what Two Lines, No Waiting referred to. Going back and re-reading the main page afterwards confirmed it was basically word-salad.
