So tropers really believe that a scam artist would stop once he goes troon.
No wonder troonism is so popular.

As someone who's struggling to not look at shotacon, it triggered my guilty conscience.

So that MelancholyUtopia chick have a PlentyOfFish dating account, and there's a red flag in it's about me section:
I'm pretty laid back. I'm in university to become a child psychologist and I love how the mind works. I love music; its my life. My favorite bands include Nirvana and Jacks Mannquin.

Granted I don't know if it's the same person or two different person with the same handle, but if it is the same person...

Even though TV Tropes tends to rarely edit page histories since it messes with the stability of their wiki engine, figured this couldn't hurt.

Besides, the autism involved in all the edits since that notice is ridiculous.

Here's the page's complete history.

Their UI for history pages is awful, edit comparisons take so much space, it makes the whole page massive for no good reason.

They inherited that from PmWiki, which, being based off flat files (text documents), means they are stuck with a nightmarish page revisions system.

We decided on MediaWiki for All The Tropes because we wanted something less terrible than that.

It also makes it easier to make sure no plagiarism is going on, which is another reason PmWiki sucks, you have to go through several pages of revisions to track down the original offending revision.

I had to do that when they ripped ME off once, it was pretty tedious.
 
  • Similar to the above, Steven Universe is a very bright, colorful cartoon series with simplistic character designs, gentle, pastel backgrounds, and is mostly a very idealistic show from a young boy's perspective. But it doesn't take long for the series to start delving into the nastier sides of its well-meaning characters, sexual imagery is abundant with frank discussions on consent, trust issues, and the difficulties of relationships between its characters, psychological complexity, abuse, parental neglect, and several clear parallels to racism and non-heterosexual orientations and a backstory with war, genocide, and ambiguous morality.

People who make shit rebuttals like this amuse me. It's more pathetic trying to say, "No, no, this isn't just for kids!" rather than straight up admit you watch children's shows. At least the latter actually own up to it. Not to mention, whenever the "this show isn't just for kids" crowd lists off a bunch of supposedly mature topics, they usually don't mention that the show usually sugarcoats it or at least doesn't show the full brunt of the topic. Like war. Anything can be about war, but I wouldn't put Steven Universe in the same boat as Saving Private Ryan or Come and See.

"Just because it has mostly older fans means it's only meant for them!" That would be like a page saying My Little Pony is for adults...oh wait, there is a post saying that:

Also, here's some preschool shows that people think are meant for a much older audience:

So this character here is supposed to scare toddlers? There's much worse things that have happened in animated films...

OK, how is peeing inappropriate for a kids' show? It's like the person who wrote this never watched any recent kids' TV shows (the ones with really stupid humor).

And now I present a whole trope about shows meant to sell toys. While some make sense, others are just weird. Take this for example:

How is selling a CD considered moving merchandise? And is this any different from people making jukebox musicals like Mamma Mia and Jersey Boys?
And this is the entire My Little Pony section. It was so big that I actually had to shrink the page itself to post it all here.

I would argue that it isn't on the fact that I've never seen a single kid watch the show. I've only seen mid-20's hipsters with a Tumblr account and a severe case of arrested development watch it.

To be fair, real kids don't use the internet (or at least, social media). And hipsters do act like kids, so...
 
As two people have already pointed out, Jordan Wood, erstwhile chair of Tolkien fan club Bit Of Earth. Also troon. Also swindler. Also wanker.

And children shouldn't be watching propaganda.
