While "CENSURSHIP! :qq:" tends to be overused on the Internet as a whole, it's especially ludicrous when it's being thrown about over some rubbish on TV Tropes. It's exactly like "ANTI-JAPAN RACISTS! :qq:" when lolicon anime got the boot or "MORALFAG PRUDES! :qq:" when "Fetish Fuel" was removed from the site.

Good news, everyone! Allthetropes still has a page for Fansadox!

quote:

Fansadox is a BDSM pornographic comic franchise centered around rough BDSM play, the beating and rape of women. As it's expected, being made for a specific niche, readers will have reactions ranging from Squick to High Octane Nightmare Fuel to beyond that. In rare cases, it can even turn to snuff.
Is it really "play" when it's stories about women getting horribly raped/killed?

quote:

All Girls Like Ponies: Since this trope will probably never be created, let's just say it's a variation and call it All Men Like Pony Girls. Oh yeah, the girls don't actually like pony girls.
??????????

quote:

Missing White Woman Syndrome: Played straight in issues which deal with the abduction and training of girls from other countries or other races than white. Circumvented with the actual deal: sometimes nobody cares anyway, and when it's played into effect, there's still nothing anyone can do to save them. Also interesting subversion when a large chunk of the police raids in force the mansion of a wealthy man for a stripper in #167 - Stripper, although it's implied it still has a Bad End, but at least the guy wasn't totally above the law.

Rape In the Butt Is A Special Kind Of Evil: Because plain ol' non-consensual vaginal sex with adolescent virgins is so vanilla.

HapiMerchant

The rape in the butt thing is a stupid troper thing they do where they'll mash words that don't actually belong in the trope name into the trope name to make a circumstantially 'witty' trope.

It mostly serves as a way to shoehorn EVEN MORE TROPES into a page, because god knows the page about a literal snuff rape comic needs MORE TROPES.


The trope they're referring to doesn't even make sense to be put on the page it is. It's SUPPOSED to be about how in a lot of fiction, rape is only brought in when the author wants to make some grimdark happen and/or the fact that rape can sometimes be seen as 'even more evil' then other crimes by both the good guys and the bad guys. Why this trope has been shoehorned into a page about rape comics where the rapists never get punished at all is a mystery for the ages. Oh wait, :tvtropes:. In any event, what TVTropes usually ends up actually doing with it is talking about how all these murderers and madmen and just plain evil dudes (in both fiction and reality) are actually secretly good/noble and deserve our sympathy because, you see, they ALSO hate rapists.

The fluffy pony page is like a microcosm of :tvtropes:. It has everything (well, mostly rape, torture, and "bad poopies"):

quote:

All Crimes Are Equal: Who's delivering the punishment usually matters a lot more than whatever the fluffy did.
Hugboxer: Pooped on the floor, threw a tantrum, broke a priceless heirloom? Spanking, time in the Sorry Box, loss of toys. Rarely more than that.
Abuser: Turning into a brat? Death. Poop on the ground? Death. Don't finish your food? Amputation (or death if you can't amputate any more.)
A taser or another electrical shock can, in some stories, "reset" a fluffy and make it believe whatever you tell it for a few seconds after the shock.
Bring My Brown Pants: It is extremely easy to scare a fluffy into losing bowel control. Some depictions of fluffies have them making GBS threads themselves constantly.
Cold-Blooded Torture: The fate of many, many fluffy ponies at the hands of abusers
Disproportionate Retribution: In spades. Making "bad poopies" (not in the litterbox, generally by accident) can get a fluffy beaten or physically/mentally tortured. Invading a human's land is at the kindest an invitation to be abused and at worst a death sentence for everyfluffy involved.
Dung Fu: The smarty friend's favored tactic for trying to make a human leave their land to the invading herd, and many a bratty pet fluffy's favored way of sticking it to their owner. It doesn't usually achieve much apart from incurring the human's wrath, and in the case of the smarty (or the pet fluffy in some stories), ensuring a painful death.
Eat the Evidence: Fluffies usually use this as their go-to method for hiding evidence, as they have few other options. Occasionally enforced by owners or abusers, in the case of "bad poopies" or a dead foal.
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.)

There's a lot more, but I think I've copied enough.

Also, on my iPad the "You may like" section includes right-wing political sites.

Fluffy Pony is brain poison. It is poison for the brain. It will rot you from the inside and snuff out all of the lights from all of the good things that ever happened, because you live on the same loving planet as people who write this. And you will always live on the same loving planet as people who write this.

So i just hit some random page and got pretty much the same "you may like" stuff. There's a 'promoted content by taboola' bit, which makes me assume it's linking you to the pages that are clicked on the most sitewide.

Thus given troper proclivities, you get linked to pages about bath scenes (complete with gratuitous :japan: wording!), boob growth, lesbians, and how fantasy races get horny via tail/ear rubing or whatever.

But don't worry, they got rid of the sex stuff!

I think I saw the link you mean and what? Why does that exist? Why did anyone feel that it NEEDED to exist? It's not even so much that it's creepy as just bizarre. What possible reason could anyone have to both need to look that kind of thing up, and not be able to find the information they want on any number of less insanely specific anime-related sites?

For those who don't want to bother to check:
It's a link to an external wiki dedicated entirely to bath scenes in anime.

(And yes, I am aware that there exist a number of equally insane and specific things out there. I'm just as puzzled by them)

That's honestly the most normal weirdly-specific fetish site I've ever heard of.

Also, could we make Fluffy Pony discussion probatable? Because it's loving horrific and always derails any thread it touches into post after post of "holy poo poo that's horrific", as if the abject horror of "wan die" wasn't self-loving-evident.

I've been gunnysacking this for a while and I've got to let this out because it's really been upsetting me:

Tumblr social """justice""" makes me sad.

Battling against oppression for being who you are is one thing, and if that's what you're doing I'm behind you all the way. But roughly 4/5 of all self-proclaimed "social justice warriors" think that being non-white, or gay, or transgendered, or a woman gives them an excuse to spew bile and hatred at every white heterosexual cisgendered Christian male they come across just because they might be racist, homophobic, transphobic, or sexist.

According to Tumblr, I - a white heterosexual cisgendered agnostic male - am the scum of the Earth.

It doesn't help that many of them try to pretend racism against whites doesn't exist (or, if they do acknowledge it to exist, give it a cutesy name like "reverse racism" to pretend it's not as severe as "real" racism. Protip: Reverse racism doesn't exist. It's just regular racism.) Or that it's impossible to be sexist against men - I've seen some jackass literally laugh in the face of someone who claimed that there are no or very few good male role models in the media. (Yeah - let me know when Hollywood stops promoting permanent anger, muscled physiques that almost always require the use of steroids to achieve, and violence as the epitome of masculinity.)

Or that they absolutely refuse to listen to anything that insinuates that maybe, just maybe, what they believe might be misinformed and perhaps even outright wrong. They like to say things like "omg just loving google it" when people ask exactly why whatever they just said was racist or sexist or ableist or "cultural appropriation" or whatever the hell else, instead of, you know, actually being polite and helpful and just telling them why. As if that weren't enough I've seen people completely flip their poo poo - I'm talking stuff like "KILL YOURSELF K I L L Y O U R S E L F UNFOLLOW ME NEVER SPEAK TO ME AGAIN BLOCKED" - over calm, politely-written statements that simply happen to not agree with their hyper-liberal points of view.

This is why my Tumblr account is collecting dust. I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing and get an inbox full of death threats, "kill yourself"s, and insults - at best - and at worst get my address and/or pictures of my house leaked onto the Internet, which would place my entire family in jeopardy. Do you have any idea how frightening it is to have somebody you don't know - somebody royally pissed off - know exactly where you live?

That my sister, a die hard Tumblr-ite, actually defended "die cis scum" on the grounds that the person who got that tattoo "was expressing their fear of going out in public" (as opposed to just being a cisphobic rear end in a top hat) doesn't help at all, as you'd expect...

Sorry, I just... needed to rant.

To be fair to the pregnancy freaker, I just googled this, and it turns out that it's not complete delusion; if you have a partial hysterectomy (uterus removed but not ovaries or fallopian tubes), you'll still ovulate, and it's possible for eggs released this way to be fertilized and implant onto another internal organ instead of the uterus. Of course, this is obviously non-viable and requires surgical intervention, so whatever Aliens-oid scenario the troper is inevitably picturing isn't going to happen, but I can't blame her for a tiny bit of freaked-out-edness.
