LaughMyselfTo posted:http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TearJerker/MarsAttacks Honestly, I think a general rule of thumb ought to be that at least 50% of a given work's entries on its' Tear Jerker/Nightmare Fuel page could be summed up as tropers really squinting in on something that's never really said (or only implied at), making up a ton of the most depressing possible explanations they can think of, then basically going "really makes you think, huh?"

DStecks posted:Which is dumb anyway, because Freddie Mercury. There is an honest-to-goodness conspiracy theory propagated by a writer and homophobic lunatic from Russia named M. H. Ahundova which claims that Freddie wasn't gay or bisexual at all, but a God-fearing paragon of heterosexuality chosen to be an AIDS martyr by a sinister gay conspriacy headed by his doctor and Elton John. You can find the pdf online but I'd advise against it. It's the most wretched screed.

He also believed that Obama was a Reptilian and that 9/11 was an inside job.  In hindsight he may have had a mental disorder. Hope he got/gets help.

What bothers me most about that whole ???? is his use of 'trolling'. Apparently just being annoying is trolling? Though now that I type this out, that is what someone who's insufferable enough to talk about themselves 'trolling' would think constitutes trolling. Ha ha slapped you on the butt TROLLED SO HARD

The worst part of Tvtropes is that their obsession with treating fetish want material the same as any other work is that someone sees something spammed across multiple pages (Because it's some guy's wanking material) and think "this must be pretty good" so it's read and it's just horrible.

Welp that's just terrible.quote:Tales of MU is an online erotic prose fiction series. Originally described by the author as an experiment in using LiveJournal to promote her stories, it has since taken on a life of its own. The first four plotlines have been collected into self-published print editions.

My favorite part of this is the way all wank material is said to get really good about 3 chapters/episodes after you become completely disgusted. Haven't read it but the poster/cover skeeved you out? Well you haven't read it so you don't know about how it's really deep and meaningful. Read 2 chapters/watched an episode? Well in Chapter 5/Episode 6 it really takes off and gets good. Read the whole thing? Well, you don't HAVE to read or watch it if it's beyond you.

Alouicious posted:ah, the Madoka Excuse Not really because it's p.much true when used for madoka. It's more their kodomo no jikan excuse. Not read any? "you can't judge it if you don't read it" Read a little and are obviously disgusted? "no it gets really deep and emotional soon just stick with it" Read it all and wish you were dead? "I guess you just didn't look beyond the CP to see what a deep and involved story it is"

 What the hell is a Madoka. Seriously, how is it that goons always all know what loving (what I assume is) anime other goons are talking about. That being said, this forum is why I know about attack on titan, which is the best thing ever. E: Is it the one with the little girls and the witch monster things. I feel like someone linked a clip of it once.

Madoka is pretty good. A little over-rated but whatever. Also I was gonna sat that "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" was one of TvTropes's few real contributions to the lexicon, but apparently Nathan Rabin coined it, so no need to give them credit.

Basically the more TvTropes tries to claim an anime is deep or meaningful the worse it is. The number of lovely pseudoporn titles they claim are full of depth and plot is astounding.

Some anims are deep and meaningful. Most are adverts for mangas, games or light novels.

I think the problem is that when anime is the only media they consume, it legitimately seems that way to them because they don't have anything else to compare it to.

It's mainly bad for them because they're cutting themselves off from some pretty great stuff. There's nothing wrong with cooling off with airport fantasy or cheesy Shonen anime, but you kind of have to watch or read better stuff to get some real perspective and not look silly. And the problem is, you kind of have to do it with an open mind, which is hard for a lot of picky nerds allergic to trying new things.

There's also that they mistakenly believe being deep is an important or rare trait in the first place. Plenty of things are deep without being any good.

PresidentBeard posted:Very few animes that tropers like are deep or good, and if they are one they generally aren't the other. I'll cop to being a massive fan of Evangelion, but even I'll admit that tropers heap quite a bit of praise on it that it doesn't really deserve. While there's a fair bit of stuff it did really well (I.E. the last third or so), there's others parts where it really stumbled, like the first few episodes when Asuka was introduced. Except for the one where they beat an Angel with synchronized dancing in their robots, of course.

If I ever have to hear the word "Deconstruction" again, I'll have TvTropes to blame for it. In their minds a Deconstruction is simply taking a concept and turning it super dark and edgy. Most don't seem to understand that a work needs to understand the concept before they can start picking it apart. You can't just write a Sailor Moon or Pokemon fanfiction, throw in tits and blood and declare "Deconstruction!" like it somehow makes you intelligent.

Did you know that TvTropes does board games too? Yah do now! ...Actually, not that bad a discription. It's really... quote:Not to be confused with the popular Warcraft fanfic. gently caress. quote:Love Dodecahedron: With wars and alliances instead of hate or love relationships. It's worse because instead of A < B > C > D < E <> F, everybody has some kind of relationship with almost everybody else. Fuuuuuuck quote:Butt Monkey: Austria is trapped between Germany, Russia, Italy and Turkey, and right next to contested Supply Points. Austria tends to die early. True... quote:Turkey Again, loving tropers

That's not a love dodecahedron then. quote:This references the infamous "Juggernaut" strategy. This has received criticism of late for being easily predicted and having too much advantage toward Russia for it to be a good deal for Turkey Diplomacy is fun tho
