In the "bad export for you" and "no export for you" pages there's some guy whining on and on about how doc mcstuffins and strawberry shortcake DVDs aren't available in Malaysia and how this is a horrible crime everyone should be concerned about

shit's weird

Not to mention the HUGE paragraph on MLP: FIM
 
I swear this site is basically deviantart + tumblr without the images/tumblr lite. You have your SJWs bitching and patronizing everyone in the YMMV section, and the typical man children putting their ponies everywhere else. Even in things that aren't at all about ponies/cartoons, they always have to "oh this character said this one thing, and that just so happened in My Liltte Pony!!!" Ugh.

The Shout-Out/Hilarious In Hindsight tropes are just cringe.
 
The Western Animation nightmare fuel pages tend to be pretty spergy. I looked at their page for Courage the Cowardly Dog. In addition to stuff that apparently scared everyone that watched the show, such as King Ramses and that blue thing that says "you're not perfect" (neither of which scared me as a kid; I never got why everyone was so terrified of them), somebody was scared by the "It's Doc Gerbil's World" segment...

I was always certain that Courage the Cowardly Dog was intended to be dark comedy, so I have to agree with you.

One should really ask what part of TV Tropes doesn't bring up pastel horses. Here's a hint: most likely none.

You wouldn't be far off from the deviantart part. While TV Tropes did cut out their examples of "fetish fuel", the examples they had would be found on a wiki based off it to live up to the name of deviantart.

It may be due to a sort of uncanny valley for kids. Ramses and the blue thing would unsettle some kids but that Doc Gerbil thing, it's nothing more than a cheesy stupid tune with oversized products and a gerbil feeding two small people various things. That aside, these sort of "nightmare fuel" entries would only shed light in how some troper is on something that isn't scary.

I can kinda see what they mean (especially for little kids). But these are grown ass men/women, this shit shouldn't really be scaring them at their ages.

Then again, considering the average mental capacity of a Troper is more in line with a 12-year old, I can see why they'd be scared.

The Edit Banned thread is also a goldmine.

Here's somebody claiming that a fictional character logged into their account and edited. :story:

Oh my god he tried to edit a character's entry and make it first person, didn't he? This is amazing.
