Okay, then..... Without saying the page I found this on, as well:
View attachment 109157
With anything cartoon / anime, isn't something like this par for the course when you're only focusing on a small (e.g.: reasonable) number of characters as your main focus??? I shouldn't be putting more thought into this than whomever wrote this did.

This is the Assassination Classroom page, right? They do realize that they all do get some screen time, right?

Ah who am I kidding? Of course they don't.

Actually, it's Clarence (CN) - WHICH. MAKES. IT. WORSE. In my opinion, of course.
Then again, a lot of anime take place in school (which sucks!), so I know I'm just over - exaggerating there.

Besides, name any cartoon (that focuses on school life and other boring BS a wee bit too much.) that does this (in order to actually focus on the characters that have been established to actually matter, of course!) while asking for one dollar for each example - you'll be rich someday; I promise!

Quite a few, actually. Really, shouldn't that trope be about a major character who got shafted/minor character who had wasted potential, not those who just make background or occasional appearances?
 
I'm surprised Fast Eddie didn't nuke "tropes" like They Wasted A Perfectly Good Character while he could. It is not by any stretch of imagination a "trope"; it is an excuse for petty complains (which Eddie loathe) and attracts the most terminal of autists (which makes the page unmanageable).

Edit: tropers are such gluttons that they salivate over uneaten food on TV.

Anybody who finds anything on any "Nightmare Fuel" page scary is a pussy.

While there could be things that can be scary to some, most of that would be drowned by autism that thinks something from a kiddy show is scary.

And aside from :autism:, this thing needed 20 sub-pages why?

The reason for it could be that it was suppose to be a joke but tropers in their tism went too far. Then again, there could be an entirely different reason.
 
They even made a page for a fictional Disney movie based on Anne Frank. Some things in there are quite hilarious, like Anne Frank using a boombox during the song "Block Party", Josepf Mengle spewing out modern day pop culture references during the Holocaust in a similar manner to Genie from Aladdin (but they claimed this movie was released in 1989, which would be three years before Aladdin), and a scene where a movie theater in a sewer had a poster for Disney's Anne Frank movie.

As I recall, that was made after Lindsay Ellis (back when she was The Nostalgia Chick) cracked a joke about the animated Titanic movies (yes, there was more than one) making light of such tragedies and jokingly dared TVTropes to create such a page. Given the kind of relationship Angry Critics have with TVTropes, many obliged.

I've seen this online many months ago, used to be at Pokemon Headscratchers: (overall Headscratchers is always pure autism)

Because when I see the pokemon characters, the first thing I think of is rape. There's an unrealistic lack of crime besides "these people are stealing Pokemon" anyway, and the suspension of disbelief exists for a reason.
