Cornwind Evil posted:With tropers though, again, I just think it's overstimulation. They've whacked off to porn so many times it's not doing it for them, they can't move on to the real thing because they're so socially screwed up, and they still have urges, so they start seeing porn in EVERYTHING, and it's a greater turn on because it's HIDDEN and FORBIDDEN and all that stuff. I think there was a version of the well-known Geek Social Fallacies article which focused on geek fallacies concerning sex; it mentioned this idea in some detail.

Any examples? Because I think you're mixing up TVTropes and /pol/ or maybe /x/. Also I've never met a nerd who didn't like Mario, unless they were just a hardcore Sonic fanatic.

Krotera posted:I'm OK with "X is well written" when the person who likes X justifies why they feel that way, and it seems like a sane justification. I don't think you really need to justify "well-written". All it means is that the prose rises above mere competence, there's not any glaring plot errors, and the story gets from point A to point B without stumbling. Really, it doesn't say much (neither does "good characterization") and if you're giving something a positive review it should already have those. Now, it may be worth bringing up in a negative or neutral review, just so the reader knows that it's not the writing's fault you didn't connect with the story. The problem is that because tropers can't find anything else positive they say they just say "well-written, well-characterized" and just leave it to stand on that. What tropers really need to work on defining is "deep". When you use that you really need to explain what makes writing insightful, emotionally connect, and/or symbolic of an issue. The entire point of bringing it up is to explain that. Instead they just throw it out as code for "this is a mature work for mature people such as myself."

If I had to guess at what the troper was trying to convey, it'd be a structure built in the Victorian style with Gothic elements and flourishes. My complaint about the description is that the author described something as "Gothic looking" outside spoken dialog. Either it is Gothic or it is not Gothic; say it plainly or you're just wasting words on some mealy-mouthed mishmash of useless description that doesn't mean anything.

Mine is basically the drug addict version: normal doesn't do it any more and you still have itches you can't scratch, and it affects your perception. Or it could be habit. A lot of geeks' reading and viewing age doesn't progress beyond about twelve, which is why the next big thing is usually Young Adult; at that age lots of kids are more comfortable looking for hints of sex in familiar things than venturing into the scary world of adult porn. Find a space where no one can say, 'Sir? You need to leave the playground now,' and you could just stay in your comfort zone. Or it could be, to use a word they'd hate, a kind of prudishness. Talking about actual porn involves being too honest about yourself; 'academically' cataloguing your preferred erotica is a cover. You ever read the Porn Clerk Diaries? quote:We have to watch the anime section because it's right next to the foreign TVTropes probably has a lot of that guy. Or it could, at the most sympathetic, be the natural human tendency to be attracted to the sort of person who'd actually go out with you, stretched and twisted into weird shapes. People aren't that straightforward, but roughly speaking, a hippy guy's more likely to go for a girl in a floaty skirt than a sharp suit, a biker guy's more likely to go for a girl in a leather jacket than a floaty skirt, and so on. Most of us are more likely to fancy actors in shows we like than shows we don't. Lots of people don't like mainstream porn because they don't like the heavy makeup or whatever, and go for porn that suits their tastes more. If your comfort zone is limited to Disney films ... well, it can get weird. Or they could just be competing for who can spot the most boobies in everything because they've long ago drifted away from the shores of normal. In other news: since we were talking about Fantasia, I had a look for Sunflower, the notorious racist caricature that got excised from the Pastoral Symphony section. The right decision for humanitarian reasons. Also the right decision for artistic reasons, because even if you don't care about slavery, a pastoral scene is supposed to be about having your needs all met by nature, not by servants - it's the Pastoral Symphony, not the Aristocratic Symphony, and if you put a slave in the character stop looking innocent and natural and start looking spoilt and ghastly. The Sunflower sequences are just loathsome, so what do the tropers have to say about it? Well, not much, as it turns out. It pops up as trivia here and there, like this piece of deep analysis: quote:The Pastoral Symphony segment from Fantasia initially featured a full-on 'darky' caricature named Sunflower as one of the 'centaurettes'. She was removed in 1969 and, despite the presence of old, uncensored prints, Disney denied her existence until the release of the re-mastered edition in 2000. Walt mentioned the film when he appeared during the 1942 Academy Awards to accept the Irving Thalberg Award. Trying to hold back tears, he said, in reference to making Fantasia, "Maybe I should have a medal for bravery. We all make mistakes. I shall now rededicate myself to my old ideals." He was ashamed of Fantasia, not so much of making the film as of its pitiful box office performance. He felt that audiences were ready for a film like that in the wake of Snow White, but when it flopped (and was right on the heels of Pinocchio being a flop), Walt's self-confidence was shattered. Fantasia's performance discouraged Walt from making anything else too artistic, which was why any films made thereafter, such as Cinderella or Peter Pan, were safer, more mainstream fare. Way to get the point, guys. Then there's this: a discussion thread for 'Character That Should Have Been In Epic Mickey. This is the first comment: quote:- The black centaur maid from Fantasia. She's a character who hasn't just been forgotten, but is actively shunned by Disney, so I could see some potential for a story there. And nobody drags that poster out into an alley for a swift beating. Characters are REAL you guys! If Disney stops perpetrating horrible racist stereotypes, that's just sad because they're SHUNNING THEM! Bring them back, it's only right!

Yeah, I think anyone assuming the guy using "Gothic" knows what the word actually means is expecting way too much. He's most likely using it in the sense of "I would expect to see this associated with the goth subculture." So basically it's pretty and spoooooky.

Disney's personal hatred of Robin Hood is quite impressive, considering he was long dead by the time that movie was released.

So over in D&D there is a thread much like this one dedicated to Conservapedia, a strange and terrifying place full of manic editors and a megalomaniac owner who believes that Jesus invented humor. Tvtropes in there massive need to catalog everything under the sun has indexed Conservapadia as well. The talk page yielded this gem. I can't tell if he hasn't read it and he's trying to be fair or he's a conservative with his feelings hurt but how do you be fair to an electrical engineer who doesn't believe in imaginary numbers. BNJC1 posted:I know this article is about a really stupid right wing wiki, but we should still maybe take a few steps to stay neutral here. The wild mass guessing page is also a bit of a hoot, if for no other reason watching them try to assign tropes to understandably very confusing human behavior. quote:Conservapedia is really an in-character wiki for an alternate history roleplaying game setting Enough mirror gazing, the ynttw manages to get creepy in the process of trying to be less creepy Adult Anime Protagonists posted:Anime turns King Arthur, Hitler (NSFPuritans), and freaking Nyarlathotep into teenage girls. I understand they wouldn't churn out so many underage boob fests if it didn't sell, but I find that a lot of anime in the "really good in my opinion" category break with this tradition. TwoGunAngel wants to make sure that feelings aren't hurt TwoGunAnglel posted:Adult Anime Protagonists is a worthy list, though that description sounds an awful lot like Complaining About Anime and Manga Series You Don't Like (and I'm a bit annoyed at the Moe trend of a lot of recent anime anyway). Dan004 is right, but he's clearly forgot where he is. Dan004 posted:DAN004 IndirectActiveTransport shows up to enforce weird style guides, also wants to bring it around to adults turning into children. IndirectActiveTransport posted:The opening raises a good point but we don't generally like to talk in first person. No I, me, this troper, ect. KingZeal is looking for better ways to harnesses the power of cataloging everything. KingZeal posted:I think this is a great list for Just for Fun or Useful Notes. It's not a trope, but it would be a mistake to discard this. KingZeal puts the whole thing into context. They oppose having a trope made simply because it involves adult characters. As if the internet is going to run out of space and they will mourn those lost gigabytes wasted on the concept of adulthood. KingZeal posted:Anime is notorious for an Improbable Age cast, to the point that the default age range for protagonists is between 8-17 years old (with 18 and 19 being a rare fringe). It's so common that having adult protagonists in any work which is not Seinen or Josei is considered rare, and Seinen and Josei are themselves rare using adult protagonists on top of that.  Jinxmenow posted:I really have no idea what this is supposed to be, and that makes it worthy of a discard right there. And the vote starsword posted:How many motions to discard to you need to get rid of something?

To be fair "Adult Anime Protagonists" really isn't a trope... but nor are 99% of the other "tropes" they have pages for, and that's never stopped them in the past. Here's how TvTropes defines No Ending: quote:You say you want a resolution? Well, you know, we all want to see the end. But here, there is none: a work intentionally ends unresolved, the Story Arcs are unconcluded, and you can believe whatever you want about what happens next. Sentences spent actually defining "No Ending": 1. Sentences spent drawing narrow distinctions between this and several other similar pages: 10. Sentences spent on a random Beatles reference: 2. This is a really great article here. Time to check out the Examples! Fan Works posted:It is a sad fact of the medium that most Fan Fiction ever written qualifies as this. The writer has an idea, pursues it for four or five (or eight or nine... or fifty or sixty...) chapters, and then suddenly just stops updating for a variety of reasons. Unsurprisingly, Meowth Rocket is a troper, and presumably wrote that himself. I'm sure his scheme to be promoted to Fan Fic Ideas Man will work perfectly, because if there's one thing people love to do it's ghostwriting other people's fanfics. Film posted:The Shining, leaving the whole incident unexplained and unsolved. The Shining had a pretty conclusive ending: Wendy and Danny escape safely, Jack kills Halloran but dies failing to catch Danny. The conversation between Danny and Halloran early in the film about how "some places shine" sums up most of why the bad stuff happened. It may not have been the exact ending tropers wanted (which would presumably have been a dull man in a gray suit spending ten minutes monologuing to explain the precise mechanics by which the Overlook's evil arises and operates), but it sure as hell wasn't "No Ending". Literature posted:The Grapes of Wrath doesn't end so much as run out of pages, with Rose of Sharon breastfeeding a sick man, some of the Joads gone from the group or dead, and the rest just weathering the storm. Tropers really, really hate the Grapes of Wrath. Live Action TV posted:An episode of Dad's Army begins with Pike getting his head stuck in a gate...and ends with his head still stuck in the gate. I used to love this show when I was a kid. What the trope page doesn't mention is that that episode was about a bomb knocking out all the town's utilities, and Captain Mainwaring seizing the opportunity to declare martial law and getting a little drunk with power. This main plot was resolved. Pike's head being stuck in a gate wasn't even so much a subplot as it was a running gag. Film posted:Cast Away. At the very end Chuck is literally at a cross-roads in a large open area. He got home from the island. He delivered his package. He got a replacement Wilson. What sort of ending were you looking for exactly? Most of the page consists of things like this. They just don't understand that most creative works aren't like their favorite fifteen-season anime, or their favorite webcomic that has been running since 1999. The story needs to, and will, end somewhere; there won't always be a new page or episode released next week. And most of the time, when the story does stop, some of the characters will still be alive. Short of the entire world ending, it will always be possible to ask "And then what?" But that doesn't mean there wasn't an ending. What it means is that you don't have the most basic grasp of a narrative arc. Music posted:"Harold the Barrel" ends with the titular anti-hero stuck on a window ledge above a town square full of people, preparing to jump, and we're not given any clue how the scene is resolved. Except for the way the final "running jump" fades as if the singer is falling away from the listener. I agree, we have no clue what happens, except that he's suicidal and on the edge of a building and it ends with him taking a running jump. No Ending! Live Action TV posted:The finale of House's second season has an example of this - House is shot just a few minutes in and almost all of the episode is a hallucination. The episode ends with House waking up on a gurney being rushed to the emergency room, but no diagnosis is ever made on the patient the team was dealing with during House's hallucination. They're complaining about no diagnosis being made on a patient that didn't even exist in the first place.  Video Games posted:Assassin's Creed I ends with Altair's story mostly wrapped up, but Desmond's is left almost entirely unresolved. The game just rolls to credits as soon as you exhibit Eagle Vision and see the mad scrawlings on the floor and walls from the previous occupant. None of the slowly accumulated foreshadowing in the game becomes relevant until Assassin's Creed II, leaving that particular plotline hanging. I agree, that sure is a thing that has a sequel. Video Games posted:Dwarf Fortress has no winning condition and will just keep going until your fortress colapse.  Left Hanging is similar to No Ending, except instead of the entire story being unresolved it's only lots of major subplots and loose ends that are unresolved. The two are basically used interchangeably. Film posted:The Lion King: Although an interlude in Hakuna Matata explains why Pumbaa became an outcast, nothing is said about Timon's past even though you'd expect there to be a pretty good reason for a meerkat to live outside a colony. Who the hell was worried about this when they watched the Lion King? Live Action TV posted:Star Trek: The Next Generation, in the "Groundhog Day" Loop episode. When the loop breaks, they find out that their collision partner is a ship — captained by Kelsey Grammer — that is a full century out of date, the USS Bozeman. It was never mentioned on the show again, but dialogue references to a ship named "Bozeman" popped up in both Star Trek: Generations and Star Trek: First Contact, and it was the subject of a (non-canon) novel. TNG also left the fate of Enterprise-C and the alternate timeline Tasha Yar hanging in "Yesterday's Enterprise". Did they succeed in their mission, or die senseless deaths? All we knew is that their passing back into the phenomenon, they restored Enterprise-D to it's original timeline, with only Guinan aware of the entire affair. It wasn't until much later (several seasons) that the fate of Tasha Yar was learned. I too am shocked that this detail that appeared for thirty seconds of a long episodic show was never "resolved". This must be why nerd franchises always get massive expanded universes: they need to know every detail of the entire history of every minor element mentioned in passing. The second half makes even less sense. "We don't know if they accomplished their goal, all we know is that sending them in produced exactly the result they were trying to produce, and that when they weren't sent in that result wasn't accomplished." Uh, I think that means sending them in worked. Literature posted:Piers Anthony had a book called Mute which created an entire well-defined and intriguing universe, with complex characters and hinted-at half-revealed plans, ended it on an unresolved plot Cliff Hanger... and then dropped it. Word of God is that he's not going to pick it up again, ever. I'm not familiar with this book, but Pier Xanth-ony is well known for spending most of his books removing clothes from and sexualizing little girls and complaining about age of consent laws and false rape accusations. Considering what it usually means when tropers offer vague-to-the-point-of-meaninglessness praise like "well-defined universe" and "complex characters", I'm going to guess that we're lucky this didn't continue. What Happened to the Mouse? is similar except instead of for the main plot or several major subplots it's for a single very minor element. Most people wouldn't even recognize most of these as things that needed resolving, so it's even more spergy (though I suppose more honest) than the other two pages. In particular, several complain about minor characters never appearing again after their last appearance... in the last or penultimate episode or chapter of the story. Well, yeah, if the story is finite in length everyone has a last appearance at some point. I bring up this page mainly for this: Jokes posted:Jokes do this regularly. Because Tropes Are Tools, the intention is to slap the punchline on the listener by surprise, at which point the rest of the joke (the figurative "mouse") becomes irrelevant. Take this joke for instance:  How To Comprehend Humor: For Autists, By AutistsFinally, unrelated to everything above, here's an example from the Spin-Off page: Spin-Off posted:The Iliad —> The Odyssey. oh gently caress YOU

I've been playing Pokémon.  Hot Skitty on Wailord action We all know which anime will be there first. quote:InuYasha's father and mother. The Inu no Taishou does have a human form, but his true form is the size of a mountain. Now let's see how long it takes before we find a loli. quote:•Dragon Half features, unsurprisingly, the offspring of a human and a dragon. She basically looks like an adorable teenage human girl with horns and a tail, she's super strong, and her name is Mink for some reason.  Looking at the screenshots, how old is that show. quote:• In One Piece, there are people called "Wotans", a hybrid race of Fishman and Giants. While Fishman are generally taller than humans, Giants are dozens of feet tall, which brings up a intresting question of how that works. ◦ The Fishman Island arc has the union of the merman King Neptune and the mermaid Queen Otohime, who are roughly giant-sized and human-sized, respectively. Otohime then somehow gave birth to Princess Shirahoshi, who even as a baby looked about 10 times as big as her mother. Even if we concede that mermaids lay eggs like fish do, there's no way she could have laid something as large as Shirahoshi, not to mention that a pregnant mermaid is depicted in the background of one episode. quote:• In Haiyore! Nyarko-san, this one of many reasons for Mahiro's resistance to Nyarko's advances; she's an alien whose race helped inspire the Cthulhu Mythos, and while she may look like a cute girl, that's just the most pleasant of her 1,000 forms, the other 999 of which would probably make his mind snap like a dry twig. Nyarko, for her part, seems convinced that they can reproduce and wants to have "enough kids to start our own soccer team" (her own words). I keep getting confused on who is what gender and who is advancing on who. Do they count as loli? quote:
Maybe the fanfiction would work better. quote:There has been at least one Deep Space Nine fan fic where Odo and Nerys not only have intimate contact but their union produces an offspring. ◦ If Changelings are anything like Amorphs that could result in a relatively simple birth on either partner for so many reasons. quote:• There exists a Chronicles of Narnia fanfic in which there were many not-oblique-enough references made to Ettins (akin to extremely large orcs) who abducted humans (men, surprisingly) in order to produce magically-viable offspring, since generations of inbreeding and incest had destroyed the health of the Ettin line. The abducted humans usually didn't survive much past the experience.  quote:8-Bit Theater recently had a "Hot Monster on Red Mage action" with the result, that Red Mage himself was turned into the monster's offspring. The monster, of course, was a lot taller than RM, so that it first looked more like it was trying to squeeze him, rather than to rape him. It was explained by the monster having a third gender to "impregnate" (or rather, transform) other species. ◦ And the less said about the Hot Witch on Dragon-God-King Action that occurred earlier, the better. Notable for horrifying the protagonists, individuals who are most commonly horrifying others with their actions. quote:Averted to a degree in the Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers fancomic, Of Mice And Mayhem. During the prologue, Chip acknowledges his feelings for Gadget, but refuses to act on them, because he believes she will one day want to have children, which wouldn't be an option for them since he's a chipmunk and she's a mouse. This is later worked around, as a previous gene splice between Dale and Gadget left Gadget the ability to mate with chipmunks. quote:One The Order of the Stick comic showed the inherent Squick of family life as a half-orc, the joke being that, in D&D, half-orcs are considered a little bit squicky because they're implied to usually be the result of rape, while in the comic, the kid is squicked because her parents are sickeningly, mushily in love.  quote:The series of artwork (often NSFW) about adventurers by Fredrik K.T. Andersson (author of Pawn) includes a character best described as "Bard who knocks up every critter in creation". And is so much surprised by the results one may suspect he was drunk half-blind during those encounters. This one is safe-for-work, if potentially hurtful for a brain. Of all living beings he had troubles only with elves. Also, there's "Dragon and Succubus". Speaking of which— quote:And for Halloween Episodes in one Abraham Simpson (AKA Grandpa) Was doing a "King Kong" Parody, with Marge as the woman and Homer as King Kong. They got married at the end...I don't want to even THINK about them consummating it. ◾ She'll be getting some hot monkey love, that's for sure. They also doubled up on some examples. edit: messed up the url link

Darth TNT posted:I have no idea about that last one. Allow me to field this one. Half Prince is a story set in the future and revolves around a Matrix-like MMORPG called Second Life (no, really) and after the requisite 20 or so issues of MMO shenanigans, it starts actually exploring a plotline based around the AI of the game getting a bit pissed off that their purpose in life is to get murdered repeatedly by idiots sporting ridiculous names like "Wolf Dude" and "LoliDragon". (Those are actual MMO-character names used by the characters, it's so true to life.) The main character gets a pet as part of a loot drop after a boss fight, and it's a talking meat dumpling. There's an altercation with another character's pet which they first think is a fight, and then there's the "... oh. Oh." moment where the ensemble cast figure out what's going on. It's played for laughs and only a troper would devote more than a momentary chuckle to it.

Darth TNT posted:I have little knowledge of DnD, is this real of is this The "half-orcs = rape" thing is so common in D&D that even the core rulebooks sometimes do it, so that's less and more grognards.txt.Of course, it's not clear why TvTropes needed to bring it up there at all. D&D orcs are basically just green-skinned humans that on average tend to be slightly stronger and slightly dumber, and are the same size as humans. There's no reason to mention them on that page except for the sake of interjecting rape into everything.

That actually sounds pretty awesome.

Darth TNT posted:That actually sounds pretty awesome. Truth be told there was so much of the in-the-game-world plot of casting spells and so on that I completely forgot it's set almost a hundred years in the future, up until one of the latest issues where they hop on hoverbikes like it ain't no thang. The basic conceit is that the main character is a teenage girl but decides to play as a dude in the game, which is something that has never happened before ever... which requires a heavy amount of suspension of disbelief from a jaded Internet veteran. She ends up forming a guild (the name of which apparently translates charmingly from Chinese as "the Odd Squad") and then becoming the ruler of one of the in-game cities. I'm actually morbidly interested if TvTropes has any more references to it.
