Either way they're not allowed to talk about their troper experiences, as per the rules. Shame, it was kind of fun hearing TvTropes implode like a failing government firsthand.

I'm disappointed The Nunnery was nuked because I got some prime mock material from that thread and was hoping to cull some more from it in the future. Granted, said material was pedophilic in nature but it's TV Tropes, what do you expect?

TvTropes posted:Played for laughs in the Woody Woodpecker cartoon A Fine Feathered Frenzy. Gorgeous Gal, an overweight and elderly crow wanted to marry Woody Woodpecker the second she laid eyes on him. The wealthy widow loved young woodpeckers so whenever the opportunity presented itself she grabbed him and lavished him with kisses or tried to seduce him. At one point she gets glamed up really nice with a red dress, pearls and a slightly better wig. When Woody spots her he smiles so he may have taken an interest in this new look. Sitting in a chair she offers the Woodpecker with her sexy voice, "Cheescake?" She hikes up her skirt and reveals her crossed legs. She is wearing black panty house with black heels to match, but her legs are as skinny as toothpicks! With crossed eyes and a toothy grin the confused and horrified Woodpecker hops away. Also here is the revelation that someone out there is sexually obsessed with Woody Woodpecker cartoons. There's probably some perverts who mourn the decreasing popularity of Tijuana Bibles

Wasn't there a Troper who migrated over here once and then started defending his actions on the site? I think he was the reason that the "shut up about being a troper" rule was instituted, since he kept derailing the conversation.

Early in the second thread there was a troper called Daionius or something like that who kept making long posts reminiscing about boring roleplays he did on TvTropes. The stuff he was talking about wasn't even especially creepy IIRC (that was back when the threads were more about tropertales and less about rape), but he was really obsessed with it and didn't take the hint even when he was told to gently caress off. I think he's where that rule came from. I think another came over later to defend their creepy stuff and post their godawful writing in CC.

Because he just got banned due to severe mental issues manifesting during a roleplaying session (translation - he threatened suicide when the others wanted to kick him out of the game). I'd link, but it's more sad and pathetic than ha-ha funny.

Didn't some guy sign up to defend his weird Touhou (or maybe Madoka - some franchise that has underage girls who fly and stuff) rape fanfic or something in like the third thread? I think he posted at least one excerpt, too, and I vaguely remember it having something about a dragon, before he got banned?

Don't think so, I don't know his TvTropes name but on SA it was "Daionius the 23rd", I might be off by a vowel but not more than that. I don't know of him having any particular mental health issues, he mostly came across as a sad pathetic high school kid reminiscing too much about being a sad pathetic middle school kid.

This also happened, now that I think about it there were a handful of cases like that. Pretty sure Draven visited too.

Seriously though, wasn't Chagen an open pedophile that was so loving creepy that FastEddie personally banned him? I can't find the quote, but I think he was to troper who said something about watching little girls on a playground and worrying that he couldn't control himself.

He had an ED page, which obviously no longer exists. However, this is the third result on Google when you search "Chagen46": it's NSFW, seriously.Chagen46 posted:Yeah, I am annoyed at how anti-loli and prudish they've become, but the site's mostly okay still. I still can get lost for hours in there. He had a bunch of noteworthy episodes on the TV Tropes forum and off it. He once started a thread complaining about the Death of the Author, how it meant he would never publish his work, and how he hated the idea of people interpreting what he'd written in a manner that diverged from his intentions (even though all he'd written, as far as I'm aware, was Fate/Stay Night fanfiction); this was followed by another thread where he insisted that nothing he had ever written had a theme, because he hates the idea that fiction has to have themes, even though everyone else in the thread told him this was a load of codswallop; finally, he was banned, and went to one of the off-shoot communities and complained that TV Tropes was his whole life and being banned was so distressing he was going to kill himself.

Sham bam bamina! posted:That was Jabrosky. I think I vaguely remember seeing some thread by him in the comedy gas chamber once. It was some lovely excerpt from some really awful Conan-ripoff type thing and it was kind of racist and he kept going on about how hot Not!Conan's black wife was because she was black, and it was really poorly-written and all the dialogue sounded incredibly childish like it was written by a six year-old or something. I remember it very clearly because there was the word "poo-poo skin" used near the end, as like a serious thing, and I distinctly remember thinking "holy poo poo that is the dumbest thing I've ever read". Did he get banned? I hope so. EDIT: I think the story was called the Barbarian Emperor or something really generically Conan-ripoff like that.

Triple Elation's couple of posts were basically P5 stuff, also I think he may have been the troper who schooled Major Tom on why swords are useless against guns and owned him by virtue of having actual military experience. When Fast Eddie saw that triple elation had posted P5 stuff he unpersoned him for giving away P5 secrets even though P5 discussion was publically viewable so that people would think they were being fair.

I thought Chagen was only banned because he posted sexual fanfiction in the Touhou thread despite previously being warned not to. (I want to say it was pedophile fanfiction but I honestly know nothing about Touhou so I don't know if pedo could be an accurate description of sexy fan media about it)

On the subject of things other than mental illness and terrible fetishes, there's a page called Stereotype Flip, which is supposed to be when media has a scary-looking black person be nice or a Chinese person be a cowboy or something. We're headed good places. I like this one because it's just baffling. quote:8 Mile plays up the human equivalent of Seldom Seen Species, as it documents the lifestyle of an American socioeconomic group that, like Native Americans, has not been commonly seen in the popular media for decades: poor, urban whites (who are living in Detroit, the stereotypically blackest city in America, no less!). Many stories take it for granted that characters like Jimmy "Rabbit," Stephanie, and Lily haven't existed since the 1940s - and even when they do, they tend to assume that those people are "white ethnics," instead of the British-descended Protestants the Smith family clearly are. Why don't movies ever talk about white people?
