Travis343 posted:im pretty sure even a regular MLP character is supposed to be a child I can speak on this because I have seen far too much of the first season- The main characters of MLP are supposed to be young adults, each holding down their own jobs and living on their own- 19 to 24 kind of age. However that is subject to change and the emotional maturity of the writing is skewed much younger for very obvious reasons. So basically stop wanting to gently caress ponies. Stop it right now.

there are tropers that want to gently caress the ponies that are explicitly much younger than all the other ponies tho. no saving grace.

Relevant to the discussion about tropers and classic literature:Creator/LittleKuriboh posted:Few people can be credited with starting an entire genre. In 1818, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, launching the entire field of Science Fiction. In 1841, Edgar Allan Poe wrote "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", singlehandedly creating the Detective-Story genre.

But that's wrong. Literally wrong in every sense of the word. Does he not know what a genre is? There's a difference between a long recognized way of writing and I don't know a style of comedy. Wikipedia doesn't see talking over a cartoon a comedic style. It seems to be under parody as I know abridged series to be. So it would be a style in a genre in an already established method of humor. What an innovator of our times. I like LittleKuriboh but seriously troper stop worshiping producers.

And no matter how many times that's been said in these threads it's still saddens me. Because creation is easy. Really easy. Anyone can make a scarf or a lego tower with a kit or make crude drawings with a pencil. Sure it'll likely be bad but there's joy in making. Even though that reminds me that tropers just want to have success and skill handed to them on a silver platter. Always the audience, never the actor.

I have not paid attention to TvTropes for many years, glad to see that they still bitch and whine about the pedo purge. Did anyone on there expressed strong opinions about the ending of Legend of Korra? Back when I was reading the original mock thread, there were definitely a lot of tropers who would be very upset and rant about what is the telos of eros. Also, about feminism.

The Kickstarter's been funded at a bit over $100,000, hitting a stretch goal that allows production of a third season of Echo Chamber. Remember Echo Chamber? Nobody in this thread does, apparently.

Out of curiosity, I went to the site and typed Legend of Korra into the search box. The first (non-ad) hit? The page for "Ho Yay." Curious, I clicked on it. Not a single mention of Asami. The page for the show did not show up at all in those search results, but I got "reviews" and "headscratchers" and poo poo.
