Exception: Rocko's Modern Life, which really is as gross and perverted as Tropers think it is.

Its not that TV writers of shows aimed at kids don't occasionally sneak jokes for adults into their shows (hell, the page i posted has one or two legitimate examples), its that Tropers are desperately searching for anything to legitimise their obsession with children's TV shows through pretending they're secretly for adults.

There is a particularily infuriating example on the video games GCPTR page. It's an entry for Neverwinter Nights 2 where a gigantic demon questions what gender you are. You get the option to motion to take your pants off and tell the demon to stand back. The demon shoots back that it doubts that it'll be able to see them due to its failing eyesight.

A pretty amusing joke but this is a game that was rated T (for Alcohol Reference, Blood, Mild Language, Sexual Themes, Violence) so why the gently caress is that on a page about getting things past censors? A joke like that wouldn't really be out of place on any tv show that was aimed at a similar audience.

Because tropers will bend over backwards to put everything they kind of like into the pages of as many tropes as possible (but only if the trope makes it seem MATURE/EDGY/HARDCORE/BADASS - boy howdy do they love that word).

Whether or not it actually works as an example of any of those tropes doesn't matter. What matters is that it's a thing that exists, and things that exist have tropes, and the tropes must flow.

Probably the same reason Futurama and Family Guy have radar pages. Because mention of sex on 'child's media' = getting crap past radar, but video games and cartoons are not just for kids so stop telling me to stop watching Bakagaijin Wonderland, DAD.

It's like a lot of them don't understand that the standards and practices board for any TV network isn't some high council that immediately attempts to stamp out anything bad, they're rarely more than just doing "our sponsors say they don't want you to do X thing so don't blatantly do X thing on your show or else we'll lose ad revenue and cancel you".

Lottery of Babylon: Apr 25, 2012; STRAIGHT TROPIN'

Actually let's look at the Lion King Adventures because it has like 20 subpages so tropers really seem to like it.

The Lion King Adventures posted:

The Lion King Adventures is a series of stories by author Anthony Barletta (ThatPersonYouMightKnow), set in an alternate universe, chronicling Simba and Nala's childhood. The two cubs encounter friendship, romance, evil wizards, crazy psychopaths and just plain creepy creatures who are trying to constantly kill them.

The two were soon joined by a flirtatious cub named Haiba, who is the Prince of the Grand Lands. He's absolutely desperate for someone to date. In fact, so much that he has dated a stick and a river. Independently, of course.

~Lol Wacky~, or the author's creepy fetish? You decide.

YMMV posted:

Are You Sure This Is For Kids: The series started off as very family friendly. However, the violence, horror and emotional darkness of the later stories made it more suited for older reading audiences.

Designated Hero: Simba is a pure soul for the majority of the series. However, he takes an evil turn in Series Five, killing without mercy to show strength.

Moral Event Horizon: Simba crosses this in Series Five after murdering Nyoka in cold blood. He turns to the dark side, killing anyone he sees fit.

Nausea Fuel: Tara's exploding guts landing on Simba, Nala, and Haiba at the end of My Immortal.

Ron the Death Eater: Timon and Pumbaa, two kind characters in The Lion King, are turned into soul sucking monsters in TLKA.

What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: The series is rather dark and violent, especially as it goes on, and even features Scar, the simultaneously loved and despised villain of the original film, raping a teen lioness and contemplating doing the same to Nala, a cub.

Wow, so edgy and mature

YMMV posted:

Paranoia Fuel: The Writer is the creator of the universe, and everyone in it is just a character. This might make you paranoid that you're just a character in a story�

The Lion King Adventures fanfic review by Anonymous 13 B 24th Mar 14

The Ruler of Animated Films is Now the King of All Fanfics

Beauty is a rare thing in this world, and it must be appreciated in any form in which it appears. When I first stumbled upon The Lion King Adventures way back in its earliest days, I knew it was something special, but I could never have predicted how much it would change my life.

From the moment I began reading, I was hooked. The adventures of Simba and Nala pulled me in just as much as in the film, and it was simply a delight to read their struggles against Hago and Scar, the ruthless scoundrels hell-bent on killing them. As the series progressed, more characters appeared, such as Tama, Tojo, Shocker, Interceptor, and most famously, Haiba. In all my life, I could never have guessed that a character as entertaining and compelling as Haiba could exist, but he did, and still does.

Every little twist and turn had me gripped from start to finish. Every hilarious line had me laughing, every sweet moment or awesome scene had me smiling, and in one of the few cases this has ever happened, the sad scenes truly had me feeling for the characters. Following Simba and Nala on their journey truly helped me gain a new perspective on life, and their story remains as inspiring as it was in its original form in 1994.

Seeing the series end was a truly sad thing, but I could not have asked for a better end to it. And yet the end proved to be a new beginning, as it has left a strong legacy, and it is guaranteed to become as timeless as its predecessor.

This series reaffirms everything the original film teaches us, with a little flirtatious lion cub and what may be the best rogue's gallery in the history of fiction only adding to it.

The world is a better place for the existence of this series, as well as the original film. It has become quite clear that one can no longer exist without the other. They are as intertwined as Simba and Nala themselves.

I can find no other words to describe the beauty of all this, but you don't have to take my word. In fact, I would prefer that. Just go read the series, from start to finish. You will see what I mean. And when you are finished, perhaps you will feel that you have done something worthwhile, succeeded in fulfilling a true accomplishment, and then, maybe you too will find your place in the circle of life.

I never understood the whole thing where nerds try to mix GRIMDARK oil with family-friendly entertainment water. I mean, I was under the impression that part of the appeal of kids' shows for adults who enjoy them is engaging in something that lets them get away from the shittiness in the real world.

I understand that the kids' stuff is unchallenging and easy to digest, but there's plenty of "gritty, mature" media where the same applies.

Ninjasaurus: Feb 11, 2014; This is indeed a disturbing universe.

quote:

Anthony Barletta (who originally went by the pen name ThatPersonYouMightKnow) is an acclaimed author, primarily known for his masterpiece of literature, The Lion King Adventures, though he has recently published a novel, Flight.

He was 15 when he started the series, and turned 16 during its year-and-a-half run. The Lion King Adventures became a hit very quickly, as it spawned similar series by other authors, a massive forum�home to multiple works created by the author and the fans�music, voice recordings by VA Anonymous13 B, the detective thriller The Haiba Mystery, and its follow-up series Poison. This has earned him the reputation of being the most popular of fanfic writers for The Lion King, with many fans and thousands of views.

Review: Great for all the wrong reasons posted:

I used to come across a particular type of fanfic series, one that tried to basically translate animated movie franchises into bad Anime story telling conventions. In these types of stories, the protagonists are hopelessly derailed at best and for some reason hang out with OC's trying too hard to be One Piece protagonists. A common story telling device is an over the top Black and White Morality, understandable in a child oriented series but made exceedingly bizarre, with the villains being over the top rapists that you are meant to find cool instead of revolting, fulfilling simultaneously the teen writer's needs to express his/her "edgy" worldview. Hilariously stereotypical romances may occur, as do spontaneous rape to make the characters "sympathetic" and "sexy".

Lo and behold, after years and years, I have found a series that fullfills most of these critteria:

- Disregarding the character's original characterisation to match more closely a very botched, overly superficial ideal of bad anime? Check!

- Making up O Cs that aren't exactly Mary Sues, but nonetheless presented as wishful fullfillments? Check!

- Making up overthetop villain O Cs that try desesperately to be "edgy" and cool whilst actually being basically Stupid Evil? Check!

- Derailing not just antagonists and characters the author disliked into shells of their former selves? Check!

- Basically inserting everything your heart desires without concern for the setting? Check!

The Lion King Adventures (even the fricking name follows this genre's conventions!) is an almost perfect pastiche of these fanfics, as if the author had a Litmus Test and made sure all the answers were checked, with the same notion that respect for his favourite animated movie = make it into an Anime. But the really distinguishes it is that the author has opted for positively brilliant creative choices. Let's just say that some pairings and some characterisations are quite in line with the likes of HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Thus, instead of a boring, simply downright stupid "teen" fanfic, The Lion King Adventures will go down in history as a work that is amazing, the author's sheer genius silver what could had been clich�.

Anonymous13B posted:

Having thoroughly examined this review, I must say that it is nothing short of nonsensical. Let us take a clear, in-depth look at the many flaws contained within it:

First of all, the author does not enjoy anime at all, completely debunking your main point. Second, there is nothing that suggests "wish fulfillment" in regards to creating Haiba or any other characters you may have perceived in such a manner. He has no desire to be an omnisexual lion cub, and it eludes us as to why you would think that. Third, only Scar partook in the act of rape, and in no way was it presented positively.

This "teen writer" has never felt the need to express any sort of "edgy worldview." There are some talented people contained within these unfortunate bodies, and they are held back by being placed in the same category as genuinely poor writers in the same age group.

The villains are in no way "stupid." They are all quite menacing, and much more intelligent than you, if this review is any indication.

The author actually takes the already well-developed characters from the source material and fleshes them out even further, in a manner that Allers and Minkoff would undoubtedly be proud of.

Overall, there is no suggestion that you were of coherent mind while writing this, as a proper examination of the text would find much more merit than is indicated here.

Anonymous13B looks to be both the author of the written fellatio of a review Lottery of Babylon quoted as well as a guy who did some "voice work" for this stupid poo poo.

Everything is worthy of inclusion on TV Tropes. What's depressing is that the "no notability" poo poo was originally supposed to mean something like "don't worry about adding citations for a random episode of some show you remember from 1987 that featured a guy hiding in a phone booth or whatever". Of course this quickly spiraled into everyone adding their unwritten slashfic to every page on the site because tropers are horrible people.

They would just find something else to latch onto and inject rape into. When you write an "omnisexual lion cub" into the Lion King, you're clearly changing the characters/setting in such a way that anything good or unique about the original is lost*. The Lion King or My Little Pony etc are just interchangeable fictional templates to these people.

*Obviously this can and has been done well, just not by Tropers.

I ran into something that I had to share with this thread. I've been enjoying the Book Fight podcast where two guys who are college professors, authors, and small press publishers read a book and discuss it. They've got a lively conversation and it's entertaining stuff, especially when they get grumpy.

So on this week's episode after the discussion of the book (which was really sedate and dull compared to most of their conversations), they talk about what one of them has found out about fan fiction. He's gotten a list of tropes that they run through and that gets goofy. The conversation starts at about thirty-four minutes in. As you might guess, they wind up horrified. Sadly the list of tropes is not from TV Tropes, I think their heads would explode if they were put into direct contact with TV Tropes, but it's the same crowd.
