I know for a fact TV Tropes has no clue who K.D. Lang is and they just added that in to sound cultured.

That's from the Beavis and Butthead page. Cassandra wasn't a character in Daria.
That being said, this would be like speculating that a guy was gay or bi because he liked Chuck Palahniuk's books. Its monumentally retarded.

It probably isn't since Nancy Pelosi had a short affair with JFK back in the day (that helped get her into politics).

Apparently, the Tropers are definitely not seething about the Sinfest strip about teachers grooming school kids. No, they just think he clearly doesn’t understand the point he’s making.
Nope, the groomer thing definitely didn’t strike a nerve:
And again, an example of their recency bias:
And now, some clips from the Ellen Page & Hard Candy pages, because I find the juxtapositions amusing.
And another weird shoehorning of current events to explain why people might not be sympathetic to a pedophile.

Tvtropes is a good example of why nerds used to be bullied relentlessly

One thing I'll give Tatsuya from Sinfest, is I have never doubted the sincerity of his politics, because they're all over the place, and he seems to have no compunction about ticking off anyone. Granted, I'm pretty sure the guy hasn't been playing with a full deck for years, but I've never doubted the man's sincerity.
Also, "Elliot Page is terrifying" is one of the saddest sentences that the mind can comprehend.

I have no idea why I'm posting this article here or what it reminded me of*...

This is a particular problem when you realize that most of the fiction that is made into visible form (most of the written too) and that we see over the course of our lives, including when too young to question it, is made by one particular politico/ideological/philosophical side. What’s more, that side tends to — if anything — consume more fiction than the rest of us, being totally steeped in the narrative arts. (Yeah, okay, guilty as charged, and besides, I have kept a toe in reality by having kids, etc.) And they tend to have startlingly similar backgrounds and life experiences: same colleges, same type of degrees, usually unmarried and childless, though sometimes one of or the other, usually living in urban environments, usually from fairly affluent backgrounds/educated families, etc.
In a way, they are what the regency “ton” or the upper ten thousand was. They are, in fact, an isolated, tight knit village. This is how it’s so easy to blacklist or cancel someone. All it takes is a game of whisper from person to person, and suddenly you find yourself on the outs, which is very much how a village functions. It is also a way to enforce ideological conformity. If everyone you know thinks one thing, then of course, it must be so. Having grown up in a village, by the way, this could mean all your neighbors could be convinced that Spain was in raging civil war, when it was no such thing, because someone misinterpreted something, and it propagated. And then if you tried to pour water on it because you’d been to Spain recently, or knew people there, the first reaction would be to shut you out, because “you think you know more than we do.”
The problem with this is that they are serving up their internal delusion to the rest of the country and to an extent the world. (Witness European leaders reproaching us for our restrictive abortion laws which are in fact more permissive than any of theirs. They get their information from our media, and their idea of what anti-abortion people in the US are like from our media AND entertainment. And it never occurs to them this vision has absolutely no contact with reality.)

Nostalgia Critic fans are next level fucking delusional. Doug plays a character for entertaining 10 year old but these fucking looney tunes think he's some 4D chess master that is subtly deconstructing and reconstructing the very concept of comedy and movie reviews. Shit like this is why I hate that OneyPlays has dialed back on the Channel Awesome jokes because each and every one of those people and their fans need to be torn the fuck down.

I was flipping through their US politics thread to see if there was any funny seething on abortion and came across an unexpected gem:

It will never fail to disgust me that the first thing these people think about when innocent people are slaughtered and maimed is how it affects their tastes in media.

“Nerds”
TV Tropes does not have nerds. They have the Big Bang Theory Nerds™, which are far more mean compared to actual nerds from two decades ago. The posters now are no more different than your favorite Funko Pop consoomer rattling on about gender identity in Star Wars movies.
Even more insulting that he indirectly tried to shame anime and manga fans for one lone shooter in Chicago, yet will gradually ignore all of the gang shootings and gun violence that take place in Chicago on a regular basis.
That alone can make anyone MATI.

A little gem from the Fire Emblem: Three Hopes "Fridge Horror" section:
Because a male mercenary would never be in danger from a rapey lady or a depraved gay/bi man who wanted to fondle him, nope. Only women are ever in danger of being sexually abused!

This is FE fandom on TVT, they decided that Sylvain's father was physically abusive to him coming from a dialogue that implies Sylvain's BROTHER was the one who beat him up. There's not a lot of reading comprehension in there.

I think both of you might be reading into this an little bit too much, considering how only one of them didn't made an career out of being an mercenary

This isn't about the mercenary career, this is about some Troper pretending only women can ever get sexually assaulted. Not sure how to interpret the "this hits hard if Shez is a woman" line other than "only women can ever relate to being raped or stalked."
