Ok this one got me.

Someone points out that the site has an problem with outdated info and Kory tells him to stfu and start fixing shit with the very convenient excuse that leaving outdated info around has no tangible impact on the site's viewership

It's really hard not to notice that the "General Discussion" thread gets very hostile to anyone mentioning problems that actually are affecting viewship.

Reading this thread has been revealing to me, and knowing TVT started as a Buffy wiki makes a lot of sense on why some people there still defend Joss Whedon, even though he's been exposed as a sex pest and alleged pedo.

Here's a little anecdote that's somewhat related: My friend got in an argument where he made someone upset for saying "Buffyspeak isn't a valid form of writing dialogue". The person then linked the TVT Buffyspeak page to him and showed examples that really weren't examples of Buffyspeak at all, and had been around way before Buffy was conceived.

And calling these "buffyspeak" makes no sense to me, because there are terms for these forms of writing, like neologism, verbalization, meta and so on.

It ticks me off, because it's a bunch of pretentious nerds thinking they're analyzing high art even though it's a shitty and outdated 90's teen drama show. I never understood this and probably never will. I guess they all suffer from inferiority complex and need to keep validating themselves.

An long overdue complaint about the "you did an bad thing" notifications" that the regulars sends people over wiki issues. Apparently, some of them are extremely condescending

Been there a few times. I'm at the point where anyone who links that site to me as an source of info winds up on my shitlist

What problems? Clearly nobody wants to see the retarded nonsense that is making WarJay seethe about TLP. Or the fact that you're an horrible person for not judging something by today's ethical standards

That must've been some circa 2015-era Tumblr shit leaking onto tvtropes. On Tumblr around that point in time if you didn't tag your posts with a bunch of stupid phobias a bunch of fragile randoms would get mad at you, the dumbest one probably being when some people insistently tagged literally anything with eyes in it as "scopophobia".

I've been saying this for years the site is just an autistic extension of tumblr with a similar pussyass userbase and same autistic obsession with fandoms.

All I knew about Whedon was a vague idea he got cancelled over #metoo stuff. But it's an interesting point how failed imitations of his writing style are more the problem than his actual flow.

I'm not quite sure that this Take That featured in Deadpool and Wolverine is as they describe.

Trypophobia has never seemed like a real fear to me, it's just another way for internet randos to declare how special and unique they are. If you feel queasy when you see a bunch of holes, it's because you find clusters to be gross. Not rocket science.

Trypobhobia is a nothingburger. I'm gonna power-level but I have an intense phobia of heights, to the point that I have vertigo if I look over the edge one floor above ground in the shopping mall. I imagine people who have other actual phobias will react in a similar fashion, maybe having anxiety or sometimes even panic. Every person I know who claims to have "trypohobia" only seems mildly put off by the pictures of holes and goes "eeewwwww".

He was sort of a ripoff of Aaron Sorkin, who himself was sort of a ripoff of Mamet.

When you're autistic, everything you like is autistic. Everything you dislike is nEuRoTyPiCaL. There's gotta be a ton of crossover between terminally online autists and narcissism.

Everything they describe here is how normal humans behave.
