That just sounds like the edgy phase that most kids go through
Funny enough, I think TVT already had that phase. The userbase ages like a person. It starts off with wide eyed wonder at every little show and trope, then edgy cynism everywhere you look, and now we're at the "sad 30+ year old millennial wonder what they're doing with their life". At least that's how I rationalize the mods clearly being done with babysitting an entire website.

That certainly explains the cooming that revoked their ad revenue
 
Gotta love the random out of nowhere psychopathy.

Values Dissonance/Resonance and Fair For Its Day are pretty much the same thing... (These are all taken from media starring Eddie Murphy)

And of course, progressive kvetching wouldn't be complete without an Orange Man mention!

Of course the first thing they edit to add the most tropes on a page from a game that just came out is the shituber cameo.

Meanwhile the other non-shituber cameos:

Extremely funny that TVT is just now getting features that other forums have had for over a decade.
But they'll never have an quote button.

Because it makes the trolls' lives easier when they can abuse it to quotemine an wall of text. But seriously, the jannies are scared of it. Or that they don't have that high of an opinion on the reading ability of their userbase.

And since someone randomly downvoting shit in TLP is enough to freak WarJay out, it's only natural for him to voice his disapproval on the rating system (people would just downvote and move on; and the fucker wpu3ld push an policy where people would have to explain their reasoning for their votes)

This new system just makes TVT into reddit. They should merge.

In Kory's defense here, I will say that referencing what Fast Eddie said in 2010 as a potential reason for a site change in 2025 is fucking absurd. Absolutely no one cares about his opinion on the matter.

But like you said before, it's only a matter of time before people start throwing hissy fits over getting downvoted. I barely go to the forums anymore so please keep an eye out for any juicy drama.
