quote:The premise is simple: Twenty Minutes In The Future, Hasbro creates a genetic engineering wing, Hasbio. To capitalize on the insane success of Friendship is Magic, they create the world's first "biotoy" (a term which is intentionally divisive, referring to the concept of a living thing created and marketed as if it were a toy.) This was the Fluffy Pony, a housecat-sized creature that resembled a G4 My Little Pony with wool-like fluff. Fluffy ponies are bio-programmed; though they have their own minds and can differ drastically, they all start off with the same core information. They innately understand English and can speak their own cutesy dialect, commonly referred to as Fluffspeak. Fluffspeak is mostly an executive's idea of what sounds cute (replacing L and R with W, mispronouncing big words, adding -ies as a plural, etc) combined with a sanitized dictionary (poopies, no-no place.) Fluffy ponies come in 4 races: Earth Fluffies, Unicorns, Pegasi and Alicorns. The differences are mainly cosmetic (pegasi cannot fly, unicorns can make harmless sparks at most), though their personalities are

It took three clicks to get to this from the main page. Hold up, I'll bold the worst parts for you.http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Anime/AllPurposeCulturalCatGirlNukuNuku posted:Anime: All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku Let's see what Tropers think of it. Oh, what's that? Four separate subfolders of tropes? I guess it must be pretty great then. quote:Cute Bruiser: Nuku-Nuku in each and every version. The original also has fellow Robot Girl Eimi Yoshikawa. In Dash, Nuku Nuku goes from cute to outright boob-loaded, in addition to the change in hair and eye color. Tell me more about lolicon and about how busty your cute, innocent, outright boob-loaded catgirls (and, uh, gynoids?) are. But what if you liked All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku too much to let it end with the original series? Well, in that case, maybe you'd like to peruse some of the excellent fanfic. Making Kittens posted:Synopsis: Nuku-Nuku's a real girl now, sort of, and guess what? She's next on the fiancee hit parade. Unfortunately for Ranma, she triggers the Neko-ken... or is that fortunately? Depends on who you ask. Unnamed Nuku-Nuku Story Cycle posted:Author of some of the best fanfic story cycles of the late 1990s, Lawson wrote a five-part series for Nuku Nuku which turned this light-comedy OVA into something deep, touching and even transcendent. The link above goes to Lawson's own page, but it only lists the first three stories in the cycle, Like Fish to a Cat, Facets of Love and What Breast So Cold. The final two installments must be found elsewhere on the Web; they are Transitions (which despite the author's note at the top is not the last part) and No Longer Than Thy Love. Before I go, let's look at a deep-and-meaningful from the Quotes page. quote:Higgledy Piggledy (How do you not notice when a TV show you like is this embarrassing?)

This quote I read on the Stuff Geeks Love blog (http://stuffgeekslove.wordpress.com/2008/12/02/fan-fiction/) pretty much summarizes why a site like TVTropes and the mentality of the people behind it exists (just replace "geek" with "Troper"): quote:Analyzing the merit of stories and themes is hard, and a geek would much rather blather on about trivia than do any serious delving. Given a geek’s shifting criteria of “rightness,” it’s possible (nay, probable) they will never actually let themselves enjoy the things they love.

You know, the Freep thread doesn't quite inspire as much horror as this thread does. Freep is a bunch of old white folks shaking their collective cane at a world that is leaving them behind. I can parse that. Literally making everything into a giant, sexualized fedora with a neckbeard is... That's a special kind of horror.

I hope none of the people involved in this are allowed near pets. Kudos for managing to shoehorn 'false rape accusation' in there. quote:The exception is when a fluffy's mind is irreparably broken by an incredible act of physical, mental or emotional damage. In this case, the fluffy will lose all personality and repeat "wan die", a stark contrast to its ordinary mind. If you'll excuse me, I suddenly feel the urge to hug my pets senseless.

quote:False Rape Accusation: Smart female domestics who want babies will let feral fluffies mate with them and then invoke this trope. As most fluffies are bad liars and both humans and fluffies will rarely harass a rape victim, the mare usually pulls it off. Occasionally used by feral mares to advance their position (accusing the Smarty of raping them and letting the herd attack.) Wait a minute this is happening in the My Little Pony universe, not in our universe? I thought these were developed by Hasbio. Get your canon straight! Also holy poo poo go to jail or at least see a therapist

While it is still horrifying that they've bothered categorizing any of it, fluffy ponies are a 4chan thing (that eventually got banned even from /mlp/ for being too creepy). It's about the same as their previous tropifying of torture porn games and shows. They should still be put on a gov't watch list, but this isn't really a new low for them.

This would imply that there are not people who are both brony and troper. Doesn't much matter if it was made on that site, someone thought it'd be a good thing to post, and then to continue adding to.

There's a famous scifi short about the aftermath of the creation of bioengineered pet dinosaurs that the 'fluffy pony' stuff is directly lifted from, even down to the baby-talk and traumatization. Leave it to tropers/bronies to stick ~funny rape~ into literally everything, ugh. E: found it, it's a series of shorts. quote:I didn t answer. Such questions, even when rhetorical, are meaningless. The saurs were sent out into the world with simple physiologies that demanded a few food pellets, water, and a litter box. Sweet natures, a few prepared phrases, a few songs. They were delivered into the hands of wealthy parents who bought them as much to show their neighbors they could afford them as to please their children. The children were told the saurs were toys and the children played with them like they were toys which meant many of the saurs were suffocated, drowned, starved, crushed, beaten, vivisected. I can go on for hours, cataloging cruelties, tragedies, mistakes: how Hubert, tortured to the point of near madness, decided to use his tyrannosaurian teeth and claws to defend himself and was almost destroyed for it; how Diogenes had been shown a box of food pellets by the father who bought him and was told, When these run out, so do you. There were stories like that behind nearly every small, strange-shaped, puzzled, puzzling face in this house. This is how you actually make a story with that concept. bucketmouse fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Jan 20, 2014 |

Ew. Ew ew ew. I didn't expect to see brony fanfic writers come up with something that would disturb me even more than the Optimalverse (discussed previously in this thread). Thanks so freakin' much, brony-Tropers. Edit: On second thought, the motto from the Freeper thread probably describes TVTropes equally well: There is always more, and it is always worse.

It reminds me of that guy a while back who got banned because he couldn't help bragging about his like 50,000 word elaborate fairy torture porn. It's depressing in a whole different way when you think that these are people going, "Oh yeah, I am such a cool dark badass, I fantasize about torturing something way weaker than me "

Literally making everything into a giant, sexualized fedora with a neckbeard is... It comes from the same place though. Fear, a sense of being rejected from the world and a sense of anger that this is due to the world's actions and not their own, and the resentment that comes from this self-absorbed misconception. It's like comparing a severely dilapidated house to a severely dilapidated brownstone: in the end they're both abandoned, run down buildings: the rest is just minor details.

I think the people who just don't understand why they're awful people are my favorites, like that dude in the griefing thread who registered to lay claim to calling a woman who was streaming to threaten to rape and kill her 5 year old kid.
