The front half of tvtropes (the trope pages themselves and some pages about works) is somewhat funny and at least able to grab a person's interest for hours at a time, thank you xkcd. The back half (the community) is Super AIDS.

Pretty much, though a sizable portion of the pages aren't a whole lot better
 
By itself, the site is good. A lot of the pages are funny, clever, and even thought-provoking.

The problem the site has is its various forms of autists that sperg out everywhere

Weaboos comparing and linking everything to their animu. Pedos linking everything to various fetish articles and loli shit. Fanfic tards creating pages for their Fanfic.net abortions and putting them into every article.

Bronies making everything about fucking ponies and, recently, SJWs trying to make stupid articles about muh soggy knees and internalized whatever.

They seem to have reined in the pedos and fetishists a bit lately, cuz it hurt their almighty ad revenue, but the rest are still going strong.


...and thats just on the wiki side. If you go to the forums, you get to see all these idiots bicker about everything, all day, everyday.

It's a total dumpster fire of autism and stupid.
 
There is an "Uncanny Valley" for disabilities. The more disabled you look, the more understanding people will be. For example, people are much more accepting of somebody in a wheelchair than they are of somebody on the Autistic Spectrum. Furthermore, somebody who is severely Autistic may gain more sympathy, should their disability actually reach the bounds of being visible. Unlike...
  • ...somebody with Asperger's Syndrome. Their place on the Autistic Spectrum is more subtle, but their body language and tone of voice are still less expressive than Neurotypical people. Those who do learn to emote end up exaggerating their body language and over-emphasising their words. Friends and family accept it, but new acquaintances may find it very creepy.
    • It's been suggested that the reason the Uncanny Valley came to exist in the first place was for our early ancestors to genetically select against such behaviours or traits that would result in 'inferior' offspring or inadequate mates.
  • Ironically, not only do people with these more subtle disorders end up in the uncanny valley, they even get less publicity. It is the people in wheelchairs who garner all the sympathy and end up as spokespeople for these societies, interviewed and praised for being so strong despite all the support they get.

FUCK WHOEVER WROTE THIS.
 
A page that seriously needs to go away is Unfortunate Implications. What once might have been solid now it's been turned into cancerous nesting ground for SJWs.
 
It's full of examples like "one black person in this media did bad things, obviously this was meant to imply that this behaviour is representative of all black people"

Pretty baffling

Remember, all black people are the same. Every time a black person says something, he is speaking for all blacks everywhere.
 
I'm have a feeling that the real reason why TV Tropes hates talking about Chris is because he reminds them of themselves.

It's a play straight of the chapter entitled 'If We Close Our Eyes and Plug Our Ears, The Monsters Go Away!' Except Chris's autism won't ever make him leave, even if he could just disappear.
