i was reading the page for the movie clue (the one based on the game)

someone complained about the fact
that mr. green's secret is that he's gay, and considering this is the 50's (iirc) and working for the government, this is horrible for him.
i don't remember too much of the rant, but it sounded like he was trying to paint the movie as bigoted, instead of putting 2 and 2 together.
 
Personally I'm sick of their "Getting Crap Past the Radar" and "Accidental Innuendo" entries. They see sex everywhere, those deviants (betya anything if they have tumblrs they all identify as asexual or whatever).

Also, Nightmare Fuel pages are laughable. They get scared by the most innocuous things...

About Nightmare Fuel, it's too bad that those pages are overrun by massive pussies and people trying to scare themselves. It has potential, if there's some semblance of control over those pages.

EDIT: Clarifying so no one here would get the impression I was talking about the radar pages and accidental innuendo. Those sections can screw off.

Nightmare fuel I think should only be reserved for legit scary things, not every fucking moment. Next thing you'll see would be "Browsing TVTropes itself is a nightmare because something or such."

As for the Radar thing. I often wonder how certain shows get away with the things they say/do. But again, not everything needs to be documented.

Wikis are designed around letting autistics do their thing, especially if the subject matter is sperg bait, like fan trivia about media. The real problem is basically regulating the autism so it doesn't spill over from harmless yet autistic trivia shit and instead turning cancerous with fan wanking tumors and creepy, pathetic shit festering all over the place like necrotic flesh.

The other problem is that they're trying to fight autism with more autism. Which only makes it worse. And since this is the internet, everyone ends up autistic to some degree. Meaning that this remains a never ending battle unless the internet gets nuked.

thank god someone else noticed the crap past the radar and innuendo pages have a few WTFeries in them
it's not packed with stupidity, but a nice chuck of the examples are rather stretching.
on the other hand, the nightmare fuel is just, ugh.
good thing i haven't seen TRIGGER WARNING in it yet. but i fear that may change

brb, going to go through nightmare fuel and GCPTR to find stupid examples.
 
Decided to click "random work." Of freaking course the first thing to show up is a freaking MLP fanfic.
 
  • Sapporo Ichiban. Oh, Sapporo Ichiban. Because the ad is 15 seconds long it used to be run twice in a row every single freaking time. If there's a Canadian over 30 who doesn't have that commercial permanently etched in their mind, congratulations. Even worse, in some markets the double commercial ran four or five times an hour because the company had bought so much airtime.

  • Many broadcasters are required by the government to air a certain amount of public service announcements each day. Since they want to reserve more heavily populated timeslots for paying advertisers, these often end up in the middle of the night. Due to the small number of public service announcements that are provided, however, the same advertisement about how orphanages need more bodies shoveled into them will often appear back to back with itselfthrough an entire commercial break.

  • Speaking of Frozen, the ad for the sing-along edition of Frozen played twice in the same break during a 2014 re-run of the This is America, Charlie Brown episode "The Mayflower Voyagers". And yes, it also had Let it Go in it!
