I think they couldn't let their own personal biases not shine through in the Reality Subtext page, despite trying to appear neutral in the presentation.

Gotta love this one for Terminator Dark Fate.

Check out what they have to say about one particular MCU show.

Also, from their entry for the RWBY episode War (no offense meant to those who relate to it).

Terminator Dark Fate was so fucking awful. Imagine reviving an entire (failing) movie series just to pander to these losers.

It gets fucking retarded. They even have an ambiguously asexual TV trope. Which is just basically "we never see this character in a relationship so they may be asexual" they ignore the fact that alot of the characters they tend to list personal life's are not touch apart in the stories themselves.

So no its not because the character is "asexual" and more of the writers just didn't focused on that part when writing the story for the character.

Asexuals are another rung on the ladder of "Things that are not fucking real" right below non-binary. But we have to play pretend because otherwise the attention whores who are inventing these terms are going to throw a shitfit.
 
I always love how TV Tropers act like whitewashing is recurring thing in western media when it's the complete opposite. And if you point that out they call you racist

Well no, whitewashing is a very real thing. Like with Gods of Egypt or the Ghost in the Shell movie. Just because we think tropers are snowflakes that live in bubbles doesn't mean we have to deny the obvious.

Your naming two fucking examples. Compare to the dozen of times the woke has changed a white character to being balck or Hispanic in past recent years.

You do relaize the creator himself even said the main character in Ghoest in the shell is ment to be American right?

I don’t think people who make white characters non-white, actually care about “stopping racism” at all. If anything, they ignore racism. I’ve seen many non white people make the same points quite a few times. Remember that Black Thor comic made by a white(?) guy that apparently, was actually quite offensive?

It used to be fairly common in movies/TV up until 15 years ago. That's where you get infamous shit like Genghis Khan being played by John Wayne or the crying Indian actually being an Italian guy.

Unpopular opinion, but back then, John Wayne was actually a talented actor that could not care less about that stuff since he played the role he was given. It was the same thing when Ben Kingsley played the role of Gandhi, even though he’s British.

Fast forward to today, we have actually online activists thinking that trans people should be played by trans people, or disabled gay people should be only played by disabled gay people.

There are some that could do it, but they take it way too far when identity politics gets in the way of actually knowing how to act for the big screen or stage. TVTropes, however, does not seem to grasp this.

As someone who is on the spectrum. Does TV Tropes or SJWs in general realize how hard it is for most people on the spectrum to just remmber not to fuck up on regular stuff (trust me it's not as easy as it seems) I can't imagine having to read lines constantly and doing every misread over and over again. So no I don't care if an character with autism is not played by actual austic person.

Most tropers are probably "self-diagnosed" or take the CWC stance on their tism.
