One thing I noticed on the Western Animation page was that while there were some legitimate examples, many of them were just examples of characters exhibiting well-established flaws. Homer Simpson is stupid, he's going to do stupid things. Why is that so complicated?

Because Tropers either don't understand characterization like that or they do understand, but they don't care and think that everything should be played out realistically in fiction (while it is true that some stories need a sense of verisimilitude, other times you just have to go with artistic license). It's also why you have people like Mr. Enter who whine, scream, cry, and sink into fake depression over instances of slapstick comedy and well-executed dark/sick humor.
 
Just got to the Magnum Opus page and discovered that it only covers in universe exemples now. Apparently, it was changed due to "massive misuse". And by "massive misuse" they mean literally a bunch of no context examples that basically boils down to a bunch of people simply putting any well regarded media or their favourites anime/show seasons, fanfics, etc.

I liked this page cause i remember some pathethic fanfic writer listing his own fanfic there. Found it.

It's a my little pony x fallout crossover fanfic and the page is fucking huge. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/FalloutEquestria

If you check the history, you'll see that a lot of the page was wrote by the author itself. I know some people might think, "nobody can be so pathetic like this" but it's a pretty common thing in TV Tropes. If you find a page for a random shitty fic or lets play channel, you can bet it was the creator who did them. I can search for a few more sad examples.

As much as how one can critique pagan deities being demonized by Christianity, Fantasia isn't explicitly saying Chernobog is an evil god. If you have to learn about deities mostly through television and movies that have entertainment as top priority, you're only hurting yourself in terms of learning about deities. Even then, the name Chernabog sounds like a badass name to use for a dark figure. Plus, Hayes code may of still been in effect so much that Walt had to use something that did sound dark but not clear enough to get censored.

I wonder if this guy could turn out to be threadworthy

Honestly, Chernabog scares me a bit more then Satan on name alone.

Part of the reason could be from the fact it's a foreign name of a deity, another reason is Satan more or less being a sort of "mainstream" name for an evil figure in religion like Christianity.

It's the autism you would expect from bronies. Add to it being something that gets it's own pages on TV Tropes, it could end up being it's own form of autism.

There's already a thread on it. It's not just him, there's millions or maybe even tens of millions of words of fanfic on this one verse. Just one of them is over 1.5 million words by itself.

Not only is Project Horizons oversaturated with cheesy anime action (one scene was ripped wholesale from an anime, I believe) and BDSM lesbian sex, but it was written by a suicidally depressed high school teacher. You'd think he had better things to do with his life.
 
A lot of the examples on this page seem...a bit too recent.

Especially this one:

"Bing Bong's theme song from Inside Out has already become a popular playground song amongst toddlers and kindergartners, spawning a number of parodies with different lyrics, in which each of the verses after "Bing Bong, Bing Bong!" have to all rhyme with one another"

Now, how would they know that? I can only assume the worst...
