Oh my dear gently caress. I logged out last night and the last thing in this thread was Hah Hah Rue's Black You're All Racist Nerds. Which always warms my heart. I awake this morning, take care of poo poo, log in, and HOLY poo poo 83 NEW MESSAGES?! Did Eddie show his dick to some one? Did the Tropers get defcon five creepy with Jesu again? Did Washout Tom update his never ending masterpiece? gently caress NO, PONY SEIZURES FOR EVERYONE. I was actually legitimately reading along rolling my eyes at the bullshit wondering if these were actual comics or something, and then I looked at my scroll bar and realized I wasn't even a third of the way done with the loving page. Cue a lot of skimming and a lot of scrolling and staring in abject terror at this massive imaginary bullshit. Say what you will about Tom, and oh BOY can you say a lot-at least he's WRITTEN SOMETHING. It's awful and reads like a technical how to anime bullshit, but he's written something. Even if that chapter is all he has ever written and is all he will ever write, he has produced more content, put more back into the world, than that bloated carcass of a puss filled pulp fiction page ever will. Thank you TV Tropes. Thank you for making Eye Em Teh Cutest look better by comparison. You weirdos.

Regalingualius posted:I'm almost willing to bet that their Evangelion pages (just the original series) would get close to that.... Uh... Impressive thing posted earlier. At least that's all poo poo that exists. You can go out and watch that bullshit or read it! You can find the many porn comics where Shinji fucks and is hosed by everyone because they actually exist and thus, at SOME POINT, they are just reporting what happened in them. Daring Do does not exist. What they did was worse than even fanfiction- it was compiling the tropes of a fan fiction that DOESN'T EXIST.

OK the rest I...almost can see what angle they're TRYING to come from. Like, they're forcing it as hard as possible but still. The gently caress does that last one imply? Is Roo Toy Jesus and they think that's horrifying?

So his two extremes are Jane Austin and the anime about universe sized robots throwing galaxies at each other. I wonder what he must think of work that happens to fall IN-BETWEEN those two subtleties. Like would he look at Apocalypse Now and write it off as trite garbage purely because it could have happened to some one?

Besesoth posted:The former. They are, as far as I can tell, refusing to acknowledge that the real-life books exist, ( I didn't even KNOW that. That is just the saddest loving thing. I honestly thought, as the last time we had this chat the Daring Do books were JUST coming out, that they would have combined them into their hosed up thought experiment, try to add SOME kind of illegitimacy to teh whole thing- nope. Instead they act like the most unreasonable people ever.

Nintendo Kid posted:Dude, the first SCP "article" was literally a 4chan post. The dude found that weird rear end Japanese statue pic and wrote the "article" in the 4chan post attached to it. And again, it's literally the attack pattern of Boo from Super Mario World. And it's surely been in multiple Goosebumps books and books like that etc. I can say this only because I was the biggest Goosebumps fan as a kid because gently caress yeah child horror stories, but no there were no ghosts or aliens or such that acted like that in any of the Goosebumps books. Or Are You Afraid of the Dark. Might have been a few in Creature Teacher or whatever that off brand bullshit was.

So TV Tropes finally raped harder than would allow. I'm not sure what's more impressive. The fact that they could, or that it 'only' took 8 goddamn pages.

, article is 
) As much as we mock the beliefs tropers have about Japan and the "age of consent is thirteen there" myth, the industry goes out of it's way to appeal to the lolicon crowd, and that's why anime is in such a disastrous state right now. Nearly everything is fetishy because that what rings money out of this niche audience of reclusive people that the rest of Japan holds in contempt. If you ever hear American geeks complain about The Big Bang Theory or something, you should tell them how goddamn good they have it compared to Japanese geeks, who have it a whole lot worse as far as public perception goes, and for the most part the industry thinks it can survive by appealing directly to them with all the moe loli trash they could ever want.

Arcsquad12 posted:I doubt that they would actually pimp them out. The way the fuckers in the Idol industry make money is through cockteasing thousands of insecure young men. If they pimped their idols out, then their career would be done after the first guy had sex, since it would destroy the entire delusion the other men have of the idol being their girlfriend. That's why you play pimproulete and oh gently caress this is awful let's talk about anything else. HOW ARE THE TROPERS FAILING AT WRITING TODAY

I have a hard time believing the Yakuza has THAT much control. It's like saying "the reason why X bill passed was because the Mafia." They really can't be that big a threat to control so much.

NobbytheSheep posted:No, Aliens really does not need to be remade with a man in Ripley's place. There's hardly a lack of male action heroes, either. I'm pretty sure loads of them are dads. I will say, one case where this was reversed? As in a wife put in the place of the dad? Kinda really sucked. Silent Hill, the first movie changed from a man to a woman because the director didn't believe a dad could love his child enough to go through hell. He then proceeded to make her utterly useless, and the only thing she ever did was bring Satan into a church so she wouldn't have to do anything on her own. Because why would your main character need agency!

Puppy Time posted:In all fairness, that's about the role the character had in the original, albeit with a lot more monster fights inbetween. More monster fights? Rose fought jack poo poo monsters. She either cried and cowered, or managed to run away. Or they just left. Harry fought a town filled with demons, and then got into a fist fight with an evil super god all to save his daughter, who he knew didn't technically exist anymore! Rose let everyone else do everything, and then MADE A DEAL with that evil super god so it could kill more people. Even if they were both the same gender, one of them is clearly the better protagonist. loving Hell I hate the first Silent Hill movie.

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.
