TVTropes for Real People -

TVTropes

aka "The Site of Lost Souls".

Let's be honest here, the site's an extremely mixed bag of sensible people and complete and utter retards ( ). But I will have to admit that for a time-waster, it fits the bill quite nicely (this is from first-hand experience).

So I ask you, what's your opinion on the site? Or has this topic been talked about already and I'm just wasting my time?

Re: TVTropes

My opinion...while there be a good amount of sensible, and godbear fearin spergs who actually have a sane interest in whatever fiction they write about, there also be a seething army of brony/social justice warriors/crybabies/tard-ragers/briefs-crappers obsessed with wanking about their favourite fanfics/writing textwalls about all the things that are so very offensive to their very existance, whom the mods can barely keep in check. Overall however I think the site has improved from how it used to be as there seem to be less and less man/womanbaby outbreaks

Meh, I'm not entirely sure about the community. TVTropes itself is OK to me.

I just like to read and edit the pages. I don't follow the forums or anything.

Re: TVTropes

I occasionally read it when I recognize a plot element and I want to be certain (ending up in ~12 tvtropes tabs), but I don't frequent it's community

Same here, though I used to follow the forums at one point.

There's two types of people on TV Tropes. Autistic manchildren, and people who go to the site to laugh at them.

TVTropes is a drug of choice. I have an account there, but it's just to toggle spoilers on and off.

I just left click and scroll my mouse over the spoilers

Regarding TV Tropes, the site is very good, the community is bad.

Nah a lot of the pages are a cesspool too. It's a fun read if you can sift through a lot of the junk (and there is A LOT), but it's still pretty banal.

I was going to say something much more harsh about the site itself, but I guess this will do.

Re: TVTropes

The pages are okay. I mainly like to read about various tropes like the Eldritch Abomination or the Alien Geometries. It annoyed me when they had this change of policy which meant that anything controversial would be deleted. This led to some fucktard deleting the Euroshlock page and giving the reason as "Don't need it". WTF? You're dismissing a whole goddamn GENRE right there! I don't care if it's ultra-violent/sexual, it's still a significant genre of fiction/cinema.

I've browsed on the forums before but I didn't really notice anything especially spergy. Can people give examples/evidence?

ah yes, Troper Tales... I totally forgot about that! But that was deleted ages ago. What about the forumers?

Getting rid of Troper Tales was for the best.

Oh yeah, I remember Troper Tales! While they still existed I wrote some pretty embarrassing ones...

This. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the Fridge Logic pages.

Although, I kind of wish they kept Nightmare Fuel/Real Life what with Halloween nearby and all.

Re: TVTropes

There's a lot of good moments described on TVTropes. It's a site I love to view when I have some time to kill.
