Tropers would have spent four more paragraphs about what they were jerking off to and probably give it a page with several sub pages. I give your impersonation a D+.

Frankly I think they'd love him. SMG doesn't criticize things, and his readings into movies are crazy and out there, but they are plausible enough to people who haven't watched the movies in question. He rails against any quality judgements of a movie in favor of talking about the readings. On TvTropes it's against the rules to "complain about things you don't like" and they have almost no concept of interpretation. Were SMG to show up there he would have a larger impact than what he's had on CD. The people who would argue against him would be unable to because of the inane rule and the people who don't understand readings would likely flock to him because he'd be doing something they've never seen before and he'd be the one person who would teach them. It would be hilarious for a few weeks until it dawns that tropers don't keep themselves in one place like we do because they don't hate the rest of the internet like us, so after a while the arguments that we have in CD would spread throughout the internet and be inescapable.

Honestly there's a lot of insular weird BS here that's just as stupid as at TVTropes so it's dumb to pretend we're any better. It's like the difference between furries and furries with a diaper fetish. Like I love making fun of TVTropes as much as anyone in this thread (well I dunno I guess some people like it more) but we don't really have that high up of a mountain to look down from I don't know if anyone was actually thinking that, but just to cut things off at the pass before anyone starts feeling too good about themselves and all

It's so easy to find content for this thread by just looking up pages on TV Tropes for things that you really liked as a kid.TV Tropes on Spy Kids posted:Ms. Fanservice: The music video at the end of the second film has her in a skimpy top that exposes a good deal of her stomach performing a sexy belly dance or something along that line. Most of it consists of her swaying and thrusting her hips in a seductive manner.

Oh, hey, it's GIANT OUIJA BOARD! Let's see if... yep, noted awful webcomic Bear Nuts does have a TVTropes page. Not very interesting, though, aside from the usual barebones list of tropes (with spoiler tags in case you were really concerned about getting spoiled on Bear Nuts). There's this gem, though, for the trope "Bunny-Ears Lawyer," which is apparently about a character being good enough at their job that everyone ignores a nonsensical personal quirk:quote:Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Why is Death carrying that scythe? I just love the concept that, on a site where everyone's so proud of being masters of literature analysis, someone had to explain to someone else why a character named "Death" might have a scythe. It's so... cheerfully dumb.

Sham bam bamina! posted:Yeah, the site had a poll, and those two bars were the longest (and there was an unpleasantly surprising number of 40- and 50-year-olds, too). Of course, teenagers lie about their ages on the Internet all the time, so there's a sliver of hope here. On the one hand, yes, on the other hand I feel like tropers are too beep-boop to lie about their ages and feel it's more likely they'd tell their actual age and brag about how smart and mature they are for their age than actually lie and say they're older (and then miss out on their cool hyper-maturity cred)

BKPR posted:In a way, isn't a ban the kindest thing they could do? Oh definitely, in an "ends justify the means" sort of a way, yes indeed. But I can imagine being the girl and getting banned for sticking up for yourself and basically "getting banned for hurting male tropers' feelings" despite the fact that you were literally being made uncomfortable in a way that's actually significant instead of just sad unrequited lust feelings, and it's just really messed up.

Exactly. If it's a matter of suddenly having to respect someone's personal space or just put yourself in anyone else's shoes at all, they can't do it and see it as a huge impingement on their inherent freedoms.

I notice that a lot with Internet nerds in general, though. This weird brand of Internet Libertarianism that considers any insinuation that a man might be sexist or creepy, or that sexism (against women at least) exists and is in any way wrong, as some horrible attack on their freedom. Of course, a lot of them tend to be actual Libertarians, too. Nothing against Libertarians or Libertarianism, but it does seem to be #1 with horrible disgusting Internet shitstains.

It's because libertarianism is generally based around the pathological terror that anyone else might wish to regulate your behaviour or require you to help another human being. Libertarians who've actually thought about their philosophy and what it means tend to be the worst sort of gently caress-you-got-mine sociopaths, which is why it's the preferred political leaning of MRAs.
