Patter Song posted:For the longest time, Wikipedia had a problem with exhibitionists taking self-shots and just uploading them onto Wikimedia Commons with tags like "Human Male Anus" or "Human Female Breasts." They've since had to make it very clear that they don't need pictures of your junk and are perfectly set on example pictures for articles, thank you very much. Just to be clear, the exhibitionists would take self shots of their own gross body, and then upload screenshots and still sof porn actresses for the female body.

How do you use this trope in a story?

Well, see, the main character of my still uncomplete MLP/Maltese Falcon crossover is a master hackinator who makes cartoons and only works in Flash so of course I need to list this because  . And the more tropes I put into the story, the better the story is, thems the facts.

Also what's a "wonk man" I know about "white man's burden" I just don't get what the gently caress "wonk" refers to here

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Notable for its high quality, yet hilariously error-filled, nature of the animation. The creator of the show, Lauren Faust, specifically picked an animation studio that could make the animation look like traditional, and was adept at animating four-legged animals. The movements look surprisingly natural, as opposed to the less natural movement that often plagues flash animated shows.

It's basically bitcoins but for literary critique. Better send everybody to the trope mines which are basically empty locked rooms with a table and pen and all the walls and floor consist of pictures of underage anime and Joss Whedon characters that all "miners" are to write their tropes on.

Well yeah, the more tropes the better. Even assuming the tropes they use are proper literary thingies, they have no understanding of what makes them work. But they know stories have tropes, so if you add enough tropes you get a story.

How can something have high quality animation yet still be hilariously error-filled? Shouldn't one cancel out the other?

Feel free to go on about how it's clearly got villains raping everything they see, how the actors are clearly gay for each other in reality, and some unspecified third horrible thing lurking just beneath the surface of its' children's cartoon appearance, though!

Exercu posted:Yeah, while it's a really gross description, it's really just referring to "dude has been pining for this girl for literal years. Now they're having sex." I think that's on the very low end of things being wrong. It's just troper-esque "smoking his favourite joint" stuff, but with sex. It's like .hack if they took out the stuff that made .hack interesting (the cyberpunk, rogue AI elements) and added a bunch of creepy, anime-rear end poo poo. And then they also add a ton of action to make it more interesting to teens. I am sure Tropers love it because of all that.

For some reason in the 1970s the Irish were in desperate need for an alternative use for cream other then cream? Tropers are a special breed who alternatively believe in complete bullshit myths and at the same time read into every single frame of every show way too deep and try to link it to the Merovingian dynasty for proof of how sophisticated it is. Red and White flowers appearing? ITS A HIDDEN REFERENCE TO THE WAR OF THE ROSES THIS SHOW IS SO MATURE AND COMPLEX.

You know, I had a different guy in mind but I think that is actually the guy I was thinking I was thinking of.  It was weird because IIRC he never like drunk-posted but just talked about whiskey all the loving time. He believed he was a connoisseur and was really just dying.

You know, it's times like this where I wish that they included a "if someone is dying of alcoholism or is in a state near death, you can ask them to stop what they are doing" clause. It's funny when tropers soil themselves trying to be smart, it's not so much when we're dealing with alcoholics.

I already knew some goons were little better (or worse) than your average troper but yeah, that could easily be a conversation held on TV Tropes and none of us would have been the wiser. I've never seen that show but I'm gonna hazard a guess that it's not about rape. Goddamnit you dorks.

To be fair, it is Adventure Time he's talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djBGau0imgE EDIT: By that I mean it's a weird show written by goony people, some of whom have been known to draw rule 34 material of their own characters.
