If they wanted Lucky Star with ponies, well...brony autism knows no bounds so someone's certainly made a fanfic for that.

Ramchyld(sic?) is just a rabid lover of preschool shows who can't handle anything stronger

He literally thinks the E/I bug is one of the greatest things to happen to television
 
and here's this lovely little Dethoning Moment for Cracked:
* [[http://www.cracked.com/article/119_6-star-wars-characters-too-retarded-film_p2/ 6 Star Wars Characters Too Idiotic For Film]]. "[Wookiepedia], the Star Wars wiki so nerdily titled that anything harboring a vagina will immediately burst into flames upon reading it." Wow, hahaha, you can almost taste teh funy. Yes, anyone caring DFAB gentalia is clearly not intelligent or nerdy enough to handle a name of a wiki devoted to a film that heavily influenced geek culture, unless of course it's printed on their kitchen table. Did this kind of thing really fly in 2012? Maybe the Mayans were really trying to warn us.

And don't get me started on what Star Wars autism does to the average human cerebral fluid levels. One guy read it this one time and he came back drooling from every hole.

Lending credence to a theory I just made up that TV Tropes is progressively serving as an archive of undiluted autism. A century from now, kids will read it and weep for humanity.

Isn't it already that? Like other people pointed out the whole point of the site is to categorize media into a bunch of easily recognizable patterns.

So, autism.

It is pretty much Autism Central, though if you want to get full-on conspiracy nut and warp fragile autistic minds, you could try claiming the site is run by a secret cabal dedicated to catalog, disseminating, and publicly availing the cornucopia of autism symptoms as a warning to present and future generations.

But Occam's Razor would suggest rightly that it's just autism begetting autism. The fabled autism Ouroboros.

Nothing will kill your inner child like reading the Peanuts "Headscratchers"

Like 90% of it is "why does this strip have jokes" and most of the rest is bitching about the (lack of) sexuality of 8 year olds.

I'm gonna head over to Calvin and Hobbes now, I have a handle of gin and a pistol with a single bullet in the chamber, just in case.

Edit: Oh god they're picking apart his flights of fantasy as unrealistic and trying to diagnose him with mental disorders.

Have these people ever been a kid? How can you be simultaneously so childish and so disconnected from actual childhood whimsy?

Ooh! Calvin and Hobbes reminded me. Take the gin and play a drinking game. Go to any random Headscratchers page and drink if Haruhi Suzimaya is mentioned. Call a hospital for your liver first.

Ugh. They've already mentioned the doctor and TARDIS while trying to figure out who exactly Spaceman Spiff is supposed to be.

Also, they're wondering why Calvin is horrible to and terrified of his babysitter.
The people just don't get humor and characterization unless it's laid out right in front of them and dissected and explained meticulously.

What was the overall point to Calvin and Hobbes? Something to do with childhood? Is growing up not as important? Why did Watterson end the strip so open-ended?

GODDAMNIT YOU STUPID SOULLESS FUCKS

Sort of building on the IJBM a few entries up: Calvin and Hobbes is a great strip, there's no denying that. It bothers me, though, how far its fans are willing to go to put it (and by extension, Bill Watterson) on a pedestal when he's done very little to deserve it. For instance, Watterson, for all his talent as a cartoonist, is an idiot when it comes to business acumen. Think about it: He fought tooth and nail to keep his characters from being licensed for merchandising purposes. That's all well and good, and very idealistic and all that, but it's also ridiculously naïve; rather than preventing C&H merchandise from existing, all he did was prevent himself from having any artistic control over it. I'm not convinced that those stupid "Calvin pissing on logos" decals would exist at all had Watterson just agreed to let the syndicate market his characters, but insisted on maintaining final veto on whatever they came up with to sell, much like George Lucas did with Star Wars. (I'm aware that the situations were slightly different, but the precedent was there nonetheless.) Frankly, if he didn't want to deal with the issue of licensing his characters, he got into the wrong business. But what really bugs me is that, time and again, Watterson has shown next to no respect for his fans; in addition to the aforementioned refusal to market his characters — which is, incidentally, what his fans wanted in the first place — he's refused most interviews even to this day. This Troper once sent him a fan letter as a kid, and the response was something along the lines of "I can't answer you because I'm busy with all these awesome projects that you're absolutely gonna love." That was something like twenty years ago, and This Troper is still wondering what happened to those "projects." Bill Watterson may be talented, but he's not as great as everyone seems to think he is.

I legitimately hope you die of a heart attack with your micropeen inside your bootleg fluttershy fleshlight.
I'm sure Watterson decided not to merchandise his strip just to offend and hurt his fans. Because a bunch of manchildren want to fuck a hobbes plush.

Ugh. Fuck. I can't do this

What were you expecting from tropers? Have you seen the kind of media they cream themselves over?...

The troper should realize before praising George Lucas for his merchandising acumen that he came up with the Star Wars Holiday Special and Star Wars prequels. Not a very good example, is it?
