Diseased TV Tropes community

This dude is straight up too autistic to write. Show him "In the Heat of the Night" where one of the protagonists is a racist southern sheriff who's forced to work with a black detective. He saves the black detectives life on at least one occasion. By the end of the story he gets over his racism, or at least mostly does. Ask Twentington for his analysis of this. Either his head will explode or he'll give the most insane take on a piece of media ever.

That's what is even funnier if you follow the threads is that TVTropes comes to the exact same conclusion.

This dude is literally unable to distinguish fiction from reality

Are all of those even necessary?

No, but yet here it is.

I've got to screenshot this. It's too gold.

"There's no reason for anyone to be a racist."

I wonder if he'd still say this if we were talking about a black character who hates white people. Or would the morality there be less cut-and-dry? Would there suddenly be reasons worth taking into account in that situation?

I always thought the mark of a good writer was taking something they might personally disagree with but still manage to write about it favorably or at the very least, neutrally.

I don't think this faggot understands how fiction works.

None of them understand how fiction works.

The mods of TVT have finally ate enough hot pockets to answer people; and so far, we have an sped or two being permanenly banned and the prude is given an second chance at life.

"There's no reason for anyone to be a racist."

this idiot doesn't know about context in writing.
if i were writing a story that took place in the 50's america before civil rights era took hold, there'd be plenty of reasons for people to be racist.
white people that hate black people and blacks that hated whites right back.

 

[Juan's Sombrero]

Is this for real? Are we sure it's not just a really well researched parody of current fandom culture's autism?

Man, this thread makes me glad I got my ass banned from that site years ago.

I call this the Linkara Effect. Give them a pen and paper, write a story, read it, and throw it into the bin because of how utterly terrible it is. For all their critique (which is highly selective) and "knowledge" of pop culture (which is shallow at best), they'd be terrible to apply what they know practically.

Just ask Linkara.

Not only do they not understand fiction, they also don't understand history and historical accuracy.

Hell, that happened when Roger Ebert wrote a movie (actually more than one).

I dunno, I thought Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was hilarious. Although you can probably chalk about 98 percent of that up to Russ Meyer, not Ebert.

The games are meant to be entertainment, not a soapbox.

Random aspie is mildy disturbed by the constant changes that the site is going through.

It's nowhere near the level of Nate Spidgewood, but is probably worth seeing what happens, tomorrow.

The entire page just sends you to some other page.

Star Wars is just as bad.

Considering how one of them hate it when we were providing an chunk of their inbound traffic, no.

Besides, I've already updated the archive for it.
