I think it's intended to be for "characters who are wizards and express that in old-timey stage magic tricks rather than shooting fire at people". Still a list of People Who Do Stuff, though.

Panty Shot Discussion:quote:So, despite my primary reaction to much of this article being to run away very fast, I shall try to put wiki-professionalism ahead of my own mental health quote:I'm a little peeved that the article's current image doesn't actually feature the trope in question (at least not from the viewer's view anyway). Can't we use an image of someone else who actually demonstrates the trope, like say Kaere from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei? quote:I suspect that at this point, Mahoraba's not going away anymore; it's become this article's definite picture, as much as it frustrates me to no end. quote:Maybe this article's featured picture is wrong though. Maybe we need a new one. They're complaining that the page image doesn't actually show panties. Also, does anyone have a link to/file of the Unwanted Harem Troper Tales? In response to someone saying they feel dirty judging all these examples posted:The lengths one has to go to as a troper, huh? *grin* quote:Ok, ofcourse this is asked before, but I can't find the awnser to my question: Does this trope relate to EVERY panty shot ever or only the one who were merely there for a Fetish Fuel effect? You see, Miyazaki uses realistic pantyshots and not that damned Magic Skirt. And knowing him, he would never show it for ones jerk-off material. So is this only for the sexual part of it? Then I really need to delete the trope at a LOT of places. haha what a n00b. quote:does it count if the panties aren't visible due to censorship ? quote:That and the examples were getting downright creepy. I mean, not only listing stuff where it was clearly intended, but along the lines of, "If you pause it at exactly 2 minutes, 3.7 seconds into the episode, you can see seven pixels of grey that are probably her panties." and just generally being real obvious that some people were spending way too much time looking for it where it wasn't intended. Okay, which one of you goons wrote this?  quote:Irony: I came to the article hoping for exactly that — an overly precise note as to where a panty shot in a certain work occurs. Less creepy because I'd just made an argument with someone about what the lack of panty shots or shots focusing on boobs, butt, legs, or hips says about the work in question despite the costuming of certain characters (characters in fetishy outfits but without any of the stereotypical "male gaze objectification" shots), and I see an entry on that films page for panty shot that just says "Only if you're looking for it!" Fuckin

Ninjasaurus posted:The attempted rape was that completely out of character and retarded scene with Spike and Buffy in the bathroom. I recall reading somewhere that Sarah Michelle Gellar not only hated filming the scene but also hated that it was even written in the first place. I think it was quickly inserted into the episode because by that point Spike was so popular that the fans had apparently forgotten he was still evil so of course the best way to show that was It was completely out of character for everyone involved. It wasn't even fuelled by evil. I saw the movie the Darkest Hour yesterday. A pretty fun movie for the first part, but starts falling apart as more science is introduced. quote:• Weaksauce Weakness: The aliens can't see through glass.◦ Justified in that they can only see electricity, and glass is an insulated material.

Yeah I don't know why people never seem to understand that. It's spelled out in the radio series and even clearer in the books; the purpose of Earth was to calculate the solution to some trivial math problem, but humans aren't actually evolved from native earth life so while they do carry some of the "program" the Earth computer was designed to run, it's corrupted by that outside influence. The joke isn't "lol it got the wrong answer" or "it's in base 13" or some other nonsense. It's just that all life on Earth exists solely to solve a really easy math problem. I think most people don't get it just because they're only familiar with it through pop-culture references rather than having actually read the books/listened to the series, so all they know is "42" and think there's supposed to be some deeper meaning to it when the whole point of the joke is that there isn't. *Edit* VVVVVVVVVVVVVVV Yeah, that's right, sorry. It's been a while since I read the books. The UNIVERSE exists to solve the math problem; all life exists to determine the answer to some math question (probably "What's 6 times 7") for some higher being that's presumably really bad at arithmetic. Earth exists to find out what that question was, since their best computer before then was only able to give them the answer without context. The joke is still fundamentally the same - there's no deeper meaning to the answer being "42". It's just a trivial math problem.

I always interpreted it as neither the question, nor the answer being wrong, its that every species in the universe is - that every one of them stated from the wrong idea of what mathematics, and kept making the same mistake over and over til every one of them thougt that 6 times 9 is 54, when its actually 42. Both the answer and the questions are fully sane and right, but everyone in the universe is completely insane. Also I thought the refugees all died since they were incapable of making a functioning and self sustaining society.

When they find the six by nine question, Arthur says something like "I've always said there's something fundamentally wrong with the universe". That's the joke. It's really not worth overthinking. On the TvTropes side, this is Cosmic Deadline (which is not even remotely similar to Celestial Deadline, great trope-naming there): Cosmic Deadline posted:A phenomenon where the rate of character death and stray plotline resolution is inversely proportional to the number of pages left in the book. Somehow, despite being explicitly a "Pacing Problem" and the description saying it's the result of a bad author, this survived Fast Ahab's objectivity purges. But okay, I can see this being a thing, especially in cases where a show is cancelled halfway through the season and the writers suddenly need to wrap up in a few episodes what they had planned on doing in several months. But that's not how tropers seem to use it: Deboss (probably) posted:The last bit of the Animorphs series was the only part in which any major characters got killed off. And a lot of them died then. Did a lot of them die? I can only think of two, and that was one of them running a suicide mission to kill the other, which they wouldn't have been willing to do if it hadn't been the end of the war (and therefore the story). Either way, it's an odd complaint to make - instead of complaining that most of the series is ghostwritten filler (aimed at elementary schoolers, why do you still read it), they complain that eventually things do start happening. Literature posted:The whole Harry Potter series. We only learn what Horcruxes are in Book 6 (out of 7). As a result, while only two Horcruxes have been found and destroyed by the end of book 6, the heroes must find and destroy four of them over the course of ONE book. Deathly Hallows then continues this trend: After too many pages detailing a camping trip and other hairsbreadth escapes, suddenly the Trio arrives at Hogwarts and Horcruxes are destroyed lickety-split (even offscreen), truckloads of important, nay, essential information is revealed, and the plot relevant (or irrelevant) deaths start cropping up all over the place. Why yes, people do tend to die a lot more quickly during the climactic final battle with wizard-Hitler on the front lines than during camping trips. Most of the Cosmic Deadline page is complaining about things like this. On an unrelated note, here's an entry from TvTropes' own Insane Troll Logic page: Insane Troll Logic: Anime posted:Haruhi's take on that classic storytelling element, The Climax: Hey, tropers? Your anime, the tie that binds you, the medium you enjoy that will never judge you? It's judging you.

Any time Christianity is depicted on television, its representative is almost invariably a Straw Character, from the nutty religious fanatic to someone with only nominal convictions. It is exceptionally rare to see an openly Christian character who is smart, likable, and a competent defender of his faith.

Maybe not, but most of the smug, chubby neckbeards you'd find in an office don't proclaim themselves to be the supergenius savior of the human race, the (soon to be, honest) creator of the greatest AI in the universe, the next step in mankind's evolution, etc etc. quote:As a kid, I was a huge, huge fan of Rowling's Harry Potter. As I grew slightly older and read the final book, I got disillusioned with Rowling's emotional writing style and some aspects and premises of the story struck me as glaring faults. The whole "love" thing, Harry's utter incorruptibility and Snape's ultimate motivation to name but a few. Also, I couldn't stand justifying Voldemort's evil with the fact that "he doesn't love" and portraying that as a bad thing. I take personal offense to that and I don't feel that's an adequate explanation for the atrocities Voldemort has committed. The book also carries a deathist message about the acceptance of death, which does hold true in Rowling's universe, but not necessarily in the real world. Thanks to the advancement of science.

She would then be raped by a faun living inside the labyrinth, and as a result she would give birth to a magic-powered baby.

From Bara Genre Discussion:Gilgameshkun posted:I just caught up on the recent policy changes. Good grief...this reminds me of when my high school film literature class was declawed and forbidden from studying films with anything that someone's grandmother could remotely consider edgy — including most of the epic classic films on its curriculum. The new level of no-porn scrutiny being applied (even things that sorta-kinda resemble porn) has left me feeling rather queasy. I've written multiple articles about mature works on this very level, and I always considered them serious works first and foremost, with their level of safety strictly being a question of adequate individual maturity. Laudanum posted:Anyway, I would like to second Gilgameshkun. I think it's very worrying where tvtropes is now. I was in and out of hospital for 8 months so I missed all the changes (I used to lurk under a different name), so I don't know why it happened but it doesn't really make a lot of sense to me. I liked a lot of pages that were about mature works that may now be coming under fire. I think it leans towards a Moral Guardians attitude a bit, which is worrying. I never get tired of tropers complaining about "The Google Incident", even if they're old posts.  Gilgameshkun sounds familiar. Nosebleed posted:In Japanese media, healthy young men that have no other sexual outlet will often suffer nosebleeds upon seeing the naked female body, or even just a pair of well-filled panties. The concept comes from a Japanese old wives' tale, and might be Truth in Television under very rare circumstances. Oh shut the gently caress up, no it isn't. In fact, this is one of those tropes that can only be found in anime, as evidenced by none of their other examples fitting. It's pretty annoying to see TVT constantly straddle the fence between being open to all nerdy media and just the anime poo poo. Please Put Some Clothes On posted:Whenever a man walks in on a naked woman, or she walks in on him when he's naked, he will stare briefly, bluster and turn around. He will ask (and sometimes demand) that the woman... well, get dressed. He'll even go so far as to give her his shirt if she has no clothing of her own.

Dude is obsessed with death and the avoidance thereof, to the point where he cannot comprehend why anyone might be even slightly OK with the idea of not living forever, and will label such opinions as 'deathist' and thus evil. In HPMOR, for instance, he takes the Dementors, Rowling's explicit analogy for depression, and turns them into avatars of death, ignoring stuff like the fact that they very explicitly don't kill you, and has Harry rant at Dumbledore for most of a chapter about how he can't believe that he's not a fan of immortality. Apparently, one of his relatives died young, and it traumatised him. Which sucks, but it's yet another demonstration of how his avowed 'rationality' is anything but.

It seems everyone has moved on to the Less Wrong mock thread, which means that my making fun of old Troper Tales might seem "behind the times" but drat it, I'm going to do it anyway.  Thanks to Testekill and Swan Oat for pointing me in the direction of the TT archives. A lot of the entries are immensely boring and sad, as well as indeed shitthatdidnthappen.txt. Wading through the muck, it's still possible to find some diamonds in the rough. And for your viewing pleasure, I've tried to recreate the posts as they were originally meant to be experienced, by linking words/sentences to the designated trope pages, as just copying and pasting from the archives is a bit unsightly. You're welcome. Unwanted Harem: quote:* This troper emphasizes the word "Unwanted". I despise having relationship with females, being fearful that it would ruin my TV Tropes and Internet life, yet in my own house only two of us were male (Me and my father) while the rest who lives are female, from a relative Tsundere who has a Moe Moe sister to three maids from the Philippines, and it's even worse in school, where some girls are attracted to me (including Koreans), yet I do nothing but reject them and speak openly and shamelessly against females, romantic relationships and marriage like I was a hammy Nietzsche Wannabe. I don't know, I look like a stereotypical geek and I don't want any females near me because of my usually Troper, Tsundere, Otaku and Nietzsche Wannabe attitudes, which I fear is harmful to others, but maybe the reason I have an Unwanted Harem is because I am one of the school nerds who almost always end up being beaten, bullied, harassed and mind raped by the jocks. Guy hates icky flesh and blood "females" because they interrupt the squandering of his youth on TV Tropes and masturbating to cartoons, yet claims to have all sorts of exotic foreign women (including Asians, of course) who are begging for his dick. Despite the fact that he is a massive rear end in a top hat who yells about how much the opposite sex and such pitiful things as love and relationships are evil. Thinks that these same girls take pity on him for being bullied by those drat Jocks  and "mind raped", whatever that means.Sounds like your standard troper fantasy to me. quote:* This 9th-grade Troper thinks they're messing with me, but I seem to be fancied by 10th-graders and black girls. Unfortunately, the 10th grader is perverted and unatractive. I was playing basketball with my friends in gym class and she yells, "Take your shirt off!" I didn't try to let her down easy. A girl in my math class, though having a nice enough personallity towards me, did a lot of things against my values. She often would sit by me and smile at me. As for the black girls, whoo-boy. This might be wanted, except that I can't tell if they really like me, are messing around, or just very friendly. One says hi to me wheverever she can and puts an emphasis on my name, a few randomly sit by me at lunch and ask me random questions, and one particulary attractive girl tried to hug me. I refused because of my antisocail attitude an, well, I don't think I was wearing blue jeans that day. From the spelling errors and overall lovely writing, I'm willing to believe this was written by an actual high school freshman who is still in his "ew cooties" phase. I'm not sure I'd call his singling out of black girls who are just being nice to him as vaguely racist but it's certainly bizarre. And what does not wearing blue jeans have to do with refusing a hug from an attractive girl?  quote:* This Troper has it somewhere between subverted and reconstructed, going by the Played With thing on this page. Tropers using the words subverted and reconstructed are bad enough but it pisses me off when they apply it to the real world (or even shitthatdidnthappen.txt). Trust me, the rest of what he had to say wasn't worth quoting. quote:* This Troper was a major aversion. In 8th Grade, he sat at a lunch table with him as the only boy. He just sat there. Eleven girls around him. However, none of them had any interest in him. At all. Although they were very comfortable around him, once spending an entire recess period speaking of Milkshakes. Not the kind you drink. Its a wonder he didn't change where he was sitting after that. TVTropes Pleads the Fifth: In 8th Grade, he sat at a lunch table with him as the only boy. He just sat there. quote:* In the most unlikely of ways, this troper has a non-romantic variation of an unwanted harem. This troper is seen as a Memetic Sex God or a Memetic Badass, which came out of nowhere (sure, he knocked out his own fat black-belt ninja best friend, but it was a total lucky shot and accident. He's also a comedian and a relatively good dancer). He is a CloudCuckoolander, has failed in every attempt to get a girlfriend (save one instance, which ended badly) and is not very attractive, to say the least. Despite all that, this troper is often surrounded by girls (who are not romantically interested in me in the slightest) during school dances, and it often gets irritating. So much so he physically pushes away some of the girls for some breathing room. And so we end with an obviously fake Troper Tale, one which is notable for its more interesting asides than the general narrative. I'd like to know more about him knocking out his fat black-belt ninja best friend by accident and how the one instance he managed to get a girlfriend ended badly. Because who gives a poo poo about him pretending to be the latest teen idol at school dances and having to escape the onslaught of teenage girls mobbing him.

I'm guessing he left out the specifics but it's funnier if you just go with the latter. MinistryofLard posted:She was most likely a filthy sexhaver. I was almost going to make this comment in my post so yeah, probably. Nosebleed As expected, all of these stories were either fake or tropers mentioning how there was a perfectly good explanation as to why they had a nosebleed (prone to them, cold weather, sickness, etc.) but nah, it was probably because they saw some nudity and life is just like my animes!! Here's a perfect example: quote:This Troper has been plagued by frequent, random Nosebleeds his whole life. It only became a real issue in eighth grade, when his school had couple of twins from Japan who didn't speak a word of English as students. This being a crappy school, in a crappy city in a crappy state, they got treated almost as badly by the students as, well, ShrinkingViolet he did. Any chance ThisTroper might have had at helping or making friends with them went flying out the window when for some stupid group assignment or other he was placed across from one of them and, to our mutual horror...well, I think you can guess. *Sigh* quote:*scratches head* So real Japanese people actually believe that Nosebleeds happen in place of... Something else? quote:I have no idea. I just know the look on her face is something I'd like to forget, along with the rest of eighth grade. This mostly speaks for itself, along with the middle school PTSD that seems to be common among tropers. quote:That sounds just like this this troper except that I had the blood vessels in my nose cauterized when I was 17. also my high school ran a foreign exchange program with a japanese school so there was often 30 or more japanese students around. No please, tells us about your wacky adventures!
