If you pissed yourself, why would your first instinct be to post about it on the internet?

You know, it's pretty amazing. Over the span of the last decades, humans have invented a way to connect not only computers, but other devices like phones and video game consoles to a network that grants anyone with access the power to transfer data over it almost instantaneously, allowing for easy communication with any other person on the planet.

And these people use it to sperg over removed jiggle physics.

To appeal to those with a pee fetish? It's hard not to look up something mentioned in a community watch thread here and see a member of said community mention pee in some form.

They couldn't have just taken the laptop with them and held it while they pissed? It's awkward but it beats getting it stolen, or pissing yourself, by a country mile.

They could have ruined the laptop if they did that. If I were them, I would do what I do at my college: put in in my backpack/bag, zip it up, and run to the restroom.
Speaking of peeing, there's a trope page for a crappy Disney Junior show about toilet training. How did it even deserve a trope page? This show is 2 MINUTES LONG. Also, why would someone who's older than three like a show like this?
Since all this talk of pee may make some people bored, here's a stupid post from the old YKTS page:

The person who posted this probably stopped the video before the title came on. How dumb.
These next two come from Frozen's YMMV page:

"Waaah! Our favorite song lost to a song from an adult movie!"

"Oh no, this year was a cold and deadly winter! Let's blame a fictional character instead of climate change!"
This is the same type of page as the Frozen one, but it's about the the Shrek films:

"My wish is that they put another girl in the final Shrek movie and include Fiona as well!"
This was on "What Do You Mean, It's Not For Little Girls":

Where were the adult themes in freakin' LilPri?
 
This Is What Safe Spaces & Trigger Warnings Actually Are. Not only does it deconstruct the modern argument that "safe space = no bad opinions", but it tells everyone that they're Older Than They Think, and that they actually serve a purpose: to guarantee people that believe their beliefs/orientation/etc. would get them into serious trouble that they wouldn't be punished for them and they could talk to (in this case, their professors) without fear of retribution.
Some of our more frequent readers might be aware that Cracked only very rarely uses trigger warnings, and I wrote one of the very few articles we've slapped one on. But here's the reason we did that—that article is about folks who got mauled by bears. If a reader had been mauled by a bear or faced a similarly gruesome accident, that article could've triggered memories of their previous trauma, and maybe caused them to pass out or get hurt. We care too much about our readers for that.

Caption: Unless those readers are bears, in which case, eat shit.
This same thing happens in real life on college campuses. If a combat veteran attending college on a GI Bill is in a gen-ed history class, and there's video of, say, World War II combat, that could easily trigger that veteran's PTSD. Similarly, people who have survived rape may also be suffering from PTSD, and descriptions of sexual assault can trigger a traumatic episode. A trigger warning is a simple note in the syllabus saying, "Hey, we're going to discuss something that may cause some of you to relive a traumatic life experience. Please prepare accordingly." Those last three words are important, because that combat veteran or that rape survivor will likely actually prepare accordingly. It's a pretty complex idea, I know. Some people just can't wrap their head around it.
What it doesn't mean—but what most people think it means—is, "We might mention something that will hurt your feelings. Go hide in this special room so the bad words don't hurt your precious, fragile ears."

TVT and Cracked should never mix
 
I'm not a psychologist, but I know enough about psychology to state with certainty that getting over a fear is easier when you expose yourself to it rather than going REEEEEE when you encounter it. In short, safe spaces are stupid and harmful.
 
A sperg whines about South Park making fun of Autism:
Codename Bravo: The "Ass Burgers" episode of South Parkclaimed that not only does Autism not exist, but it is just a fake front for cynicism, with all supposed sufferers from the condition just being depressed paranoid clueless jerks, while attempting to thoroughly humiliate them. It went well beyond the usual reluctance to slam disabilities, and just read like a random collection of slurs that did not make any sense. And that's coming from somebody who found The Onion's "autistic reporter" mostly funny because it was clever.

The responses to this entry are just as funny.

Thing is, all this sanctimonious grandstanding is exactly why female-led action stories are so hard to sell. Generally, even people who like weightier fare don't really enjoy it when a movie is just a vehicle for in-your-face soapboxing on gender roles. When vocal nerds on the internet go around telling people any movie or TV show or book featuring a female protagonist is some kind of feminist manifesto then mainstream audiences are turned off. And producers take note.
 
Pretty much every My Little Pony page is enormous. The sad part is if you put all their MLP shit into books, it'd probably end up being larger than the Harry Potter series as a whole.

Epic Rap Battles of History making a joke about Hillary's creepy smile is misogynistic.

I've seen that Ambar guy around the site before. He's a regular in the "complete monster" cleanup thread. Which is about 3,000 pages of arguing whether or not villains are evil enough to be considered irredeemable. Ordinarily, it's comparatively less spergy than other areas of the site, but every now and then, someone will come along with a proposal that causes a few pages worth of autistic screeching. More often than not, it's got to do with fanfiction or MLP.

I'm afraid to go to that page because I'm afraid it's mostly filled the Star Wars fandom's unbearably autistic Empire Apologist subset.
