It seems people are against it.

He's right. Giving a voice to the unwashed masses and making them think they matter was a mistake, it's like we handed participation trophies to the entire population and said "You're all equally special and right!"

The American problem of being first in confidence regardless of actual merit is only worsened when you give an avenue for narcissism that feeds into it with instant echo chamber feedback and masturbatory social circles, especially when you can pressure twitter into censoring opposition.

Not saying it's all bad, it's handy to keep up with companies and announcements and the like, but the social media aspect of it is anything but helpful in Western society.

It's not that I don't believe it's possible, but I'm tired of seeing these sourceless claims parroted as if they're gospel. Also, characters are dispensable period, as long as they're not the MC and therefore have plot armor.

They're an SJW menace who attempted to censor articles on a fucking website dedicated to cataloguing cliches. It was fucking stupid and so are you for supporting them, and you ARE supporting them by saying that people who dislike them are all just "retarded contrarians".

Not even that guy btw.

How are they sjw?

they just label shit.
>>
>>67072652
They deliberately censored references to works containing "problematic" things like lolicon and the like, despite the fact that from a perspective of cataloging cliches they were relevant (I'm talking non-pornographic shows here). Furthermore, they push agendas and ideas with faulty reasoning and massive confirmation bias, look at that fucking list of tropes for "Bury your gays". It's just a catalog of times in a story where a gay person dies and some straight people have happy endings. All used to imply there is a deliberate attempt from current writers/artists to somehow, unconsciously or otherwise, kill gay characters.

Are there some valid examples? Certainly. But a lot of the ones on that list are twisted to fit the idea to increase the impact of viewing the page, rather than organically categorized.

Labeling things is important, they are considered an authority and they are not even close and are often less accurate than a vandalized wikipedia page.
>>
>>67072652
looked it up,its because they don't want to categorize hentai rape tropes.what a fucking non issue.
>>
>>67072735
lolicon doesnt deserve to have its tropes analyzed.

i dont give a shit how much you complain,about the gay thing that fucked,but its not just one person creating these tropes.

It has it's uses, unlike facebook. But yeah, most people use it for dumb shit and waste of time. I use it for keeping up with science as it's the go-to way of keeping track of conferences and new science. For example, astronomers use it cause it's the fasted way to communicate an event to the most amount of people, so they can point their telescopes at said event. Works well for that.
>>
These sjws are going too far. A friend I know in tumblr posted a selfie after waking up without doing her hair and tagged it natural hair and natural hair movement and she got angry messages saying the natural hair movement is only for poc and black girls to fight the notion that natural black hair is ugly and black bla and to stop using that tag and have done decency and be aware and to remove the tags immediately. Of course the friend apologized and sayid she didn't mean to offend and took the whole post down..

I think homosexuals should be immortal otherwise it's bigotry.

>>67072748
The entirety of the website's existence is a non-issue, I'm not calling for it to be burnt to the ground or something, but censoring categorizations goes against the only purpose the site claims to serve. It was an unnecessary purge when no NSFW content was posted to the site itself.

>>67072792
>lolicon doesn't deserve to have its tropes analyzed

This is such a non-argument I don't even know where to start. Tvtropes doesn't analyze shit, they mindlessly categorize. Look at the lists, oftentimes they are things that are out of context of the show itself, and the tropes aren't given any real examination except "these exist".

So for you to imply that somehow those cliches are more warranting scrutiny is dubious at best, since none on the site receive in-depth analysis. Categorization is different.

>I don't give a shit how much you complain about the gay thing thats fucked, but its not just one person creating these tropes.

I don't even understand what you're getting at here. Are you saying that multiple authors have killed gay people and not killed some straight characters? Or are you saying that the list is comprised of entries from multiple people who edit the wiki-esque pages? If the former, my issue lies with the fact that they feel the need to make suppositions about WHY the cliches exist with no evidence. This show didn't kill characters because they were written inconveniently or they weren't testing well or they wanted to have an emotional impact on the audience, no, they got killed because they were gay.

It's bullshit smoke screened as "analysis".
>>
>>67072901
lolicon should not be acknowledged like other shows/movies/anime/music,regardless of how pointless you precieve some articles most at the very least contributed in some way to society and give us a better understanding as to why these tropes exists,lolicon doesn't.it exists purely as fetish fuel.

>Or are you saying that the list is comprised of entries from multiple people who edit the wiki-esque pages?

Bingo

And i agree about the gay thing yet again but just like cracked is known for being sjw they also have independent writers that do not reflect on the sites viewpoint as a whole,sure they should moderate it better,but my point is its not like the site has one single hivemind,just like 4chan too.

Faggot. If whatever Tumblr shit you love can have an overly long autistic page about its tropes, why can't some lolicon manga?
>>
>>67073257
because that tumblr shit doesnt exist soley for perverts to jack off too and most of them have some semblance of decent writing (or atleast attempt to do so) regardless of their agenda and help as define tropes that actually matter.

porn/hentai/lolicon and other fetish subcultures aren't valid art,just smut to masturbate too.

I don't want to know.Its pointless and should be phased out of existence but creeps like you will continue to claim it has some merit because there are one or two good stories/aspects that i'm sure you could find in "normal" anime without the perversion anyway.

It's not so much that they shouldn't be allowed to kill them, it's that it would be nice of once in a while they didn't. Making a TV character bi or lesbian is like a ticket to the graveyard. Autostraddle's list of Dead TV Lesbians has grown to 135, and really, how many more lesbians have there been on TV? Maybe twice that many, to give each of the dead ones a partner? The list of lesbian characters with happy endings must be considerably shorter, if one were to compile such a thing.

As for the situation with The 100, it illustrates that if you see a market as worthwhile enough to target, you shouldn't view them as inconsequential to alienate, and if you fuck up, digging the pit you're in deeper won't help you get out.
