Little Blackfly posted:Having a negative opinion of an anime is only a little bit better than having a positive one. In seriousness though it ended up being made by a creepy dude who has a tvtropes-level understanding of what being a deconstruction is, which has a lot to do with why tvtropes types in particualr hype it up over being so deep deconstruction art.

Epic Rap Battles of History Fridge Horror posted:Stalin refers to himself as "the man who made Mother Russia his bitch". Fair enough, "Mother Russia" is a common nickname for the country, and he certainly ruled it with an iron fist. But more studious viewers might know that "Mother Russia" can also be used to refer to an Anthropomorphic Personification of Russia, much like Britannia is for Britain. And considering this is Stalin talking, one wonders what horrors he might be referring to... TVTropes.txt Goddamn it tropers, stop infusing rape into everything.

"No practice other than a gently caress-ton of anime, but this troper has learned to remove a bra using small, nodachi-sized weapons." "This troper is arguably the youngest to have mastered this trope. He has broken 33 bra straps in his 13-year old life, and got a good friend to break two of those because they were too hard."

The art of bra removal and Talking Poo never had troper tales.Tall Dark and Snarky posted:* This troper is [[HopelessSuitor deeply in love]] with a tall, dark, and snarky young man she met at college. Jet-black hair and dark eyes? Check. Tall, lithe, intellectual, and [[StoicSpectacles looks sexy in glasses]]? Check. Deep, deadpan voice and clever, sardonic wit? OH SO VERY CHECK. Being the very handsome boy he is [[InstantFanClub I wasn't the only gal with a crush]], but I was definitely the only one uncomfortable with openly expressing it. Ironically, it's only since he's graduated and moved across the country that I finally realized [[LoveEpiphany it's way more than a passing crush]] (especially after learning [[HiddenDepths he's much more than what he seems]]). That, and being a hopeless Type II Kuudere does not help. Sigh.  Tall Dark and Snarky posted:* This troper has none of these attributes but it makes me pretend I'm cool and not simply a jerk if I apply this trope to me. Tantrumthrowing posted:* This trooper threw three cups at the floor to ventilate frustration att my dickheaded dad today. A few minutes ago he called on the phone screaming and swearing after walking on the pieces, while i am at a safe place 40 minutes of driving away from him. Suits that bastard. And he also accused me of taking the mozarella cheese. The Artful Dodger posted:* [[Tropers.{{Lilfut}} This Troper]]'s [[FinalFantasyI Final]] [[FinalFantasyII Fantasy]] [[FinalFantasyIII NES]] OC is an odd combination of this, StreetUrchin, ThePollyanna, and StepfordSmiler, until a ManicPixieDreamGirl helps him solve his issues, practically erasing StreetUrchin from his backstory. (except for [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes a manic fear of snakes and spiders]]). cpmbat Pragmatist posted:* For this troper, combine nearly inhuman flexibility, five years of studying the orbits of human joints, gobs of pain tolerance, and a whopping dose of combat sociopathy make for a nightmare during sparring. Bites are a particular specialty, being that they're painful and extremely demoralizing. Admittedly I do go for the throat...

So, just for the hell of it, I decided to check out TvTropes' pages on the Gorillaz. I'm not sure why the gently caress I was expecting anything but this to happen:YMMV posted:Unfortunate Implications: 2D and Murdoc living alone on a island for quite a long time. Now, this wouldn't be so unfortunate, if the said characters weren't an easily-taken-advantage-of ditzy Nice Guy, and a Manipulative Bastard, who is apparently bisexual. This could be either No Yay or Ho Yay, for the people who are into this. (For those two of you not in the know, part of their gimmick was having a fictional, animated band represent the artists, apparently getting to the point of having a full-out storyline.)

It was also the only thread where you were allowed to discuss sexual matters. They wanted to keep all the smut in one place, so it festered and grew the gently caress out of control. If it weren't tVTropes I'd say that a lot of the posts were probably people just trolling to see how gross of a fetish they could write and still have everyone else nod and go "Cool, man. I respect you."

There was a big "kink thread" in a/t where idiot freaks discussed the best diapers to wear for sexually making GBS threads yourself, or the best racial epithets to use while your pasty white rear end is whipping your black slave girl (these were actual things that people posted about). It got shut down because some guy started talking about his fetish for cooking and eating women.
