Found this on the Paper Towns page. Like most of that trope's examples, it's an extremely subjective entry. I'm 101% sure the "2015 controversy" is just a convenient excuse for virtue-signaling. If nothing of note had happened in 2015 (and I've been hearing people REEEEE about the Confederate flag for two decades so I don't see why 2015 was special) he would have found another reason to shit on it.

Any time I hear this bitching about the Confederate flag, I remember this time I was driving through Tennessee in a Volvo with a Howard Dean bumper sticker and one of those Coexist things. I was going about 75, well over the speed limit, and this pickup truck comes up behind me and tailgates me a minute before swerving over and passing me. It has a gun rack in the rear window, right wing bumper stickers, and one of them had a Confederate flag, and the driver flips me off for no reason at all.

And he was a black guy.

It's a similar phenomenon to Nazi furries. Once something has faded into history, people adopt its symbols who would have loathed it when it was alive.
 
Found this on the Pokemon Sun and Moon nightmare fuel page. Seriously how much of a sissy do you have to be to be scared by a pink cat with ribbon-like feelers ?

Wow.

It would be perfectly understandable if you got night terrors from watching the Blob, Nightmare on Elm Street or playing Silent Hill. But this isn't mere :autism:, this is outright trying too hard to make pokémon an edgy franchise. I mean, had the Colosseum game and the Pokémon XD ROFLMAO LEL with that shadow Lugia crap be edgy enough?

We all know Tropers get scared by everything, but they also cry about everything. Ya know what movie was really sad? A shitty family movie about Kevin Spacey as a cat.

Why?

I remember we watched that for the end of the year movie night, and we were all rolling on the floor with laughter. Then again, we're mostly sensible enough to not find fucking Nine Lives of all movies sad.

It got too big, and burned out half of its site character by sanitizing its memes of their reference points. At this point, I remained shocked that "Xanatos" remains in the name of any trope category.
 
Pink fluffy cartoon cats can scare them for weeks.
Kevin Spacey as a fucking cat can make them cry.
This reminds me of something. Back in the days when Fast Eddie still haven't sanitizing porn/fetish pages, people said that this girl is a "fetish fuel station attendant" because of glasses and heterochromia. I mean, tropers get so aroused with so little, they say korean game characters who look like midgets give them erotic fantasies for a lifetime.

Crash Bandicoot: The N. Sane Trilogy is out, and Tropers everywhere are already shitting their pants in terror at this remake of one of the most beloved horror game trilogies of the 90's.

I always thought this was weird. Tropers soil NUMBERS OF PAIRS OF DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS over Crash Bandicoot, and yet they obsess over million plus word fan fictions of fan fictions about pony rape.

I swear, Enter has such a strangely powerful sway over tropers and I can't figure out why. He's not funny and he's certainly not charismatic, all he does is bitch about modern SpongeBob.

That's all you really need to sway tropers: bitch or praise a show that other people either dismiss or find average.

I like going through these and seeing them misinterpret or otherwise misuse their own tropes. For instance,
  • Sandy Petersen, one of the level designers for Doom, is a Mormon, and is quoted by John Romero as saying "I have no problems with the demons in the game. They're just cartoons. And, anyway, they're the bad guys." Students of Petersen's recent game design courses say that he has maintained this stance.

I like this because the trope is supposed to be when the creator offends people in his own group, but this doesn't convey anything. All it says is he's a Mormon and he's okay with demons in his game. Was there a backlash from the Mormon community? Y'know, to justify this example? I know Mormons are typically against this kind of thing but the guy doesn't mention anything like that.
