That is actually a trope that they have.


I honestly think that that may be the reason why they don't believe in woke = broke.

The fact that this is constantly being proven empirically false doesn't matter to them. It's a basic tenet of their faith - let's call it what it is. It's also why they are pozzed in the sense of being incapable of entertaining rational argument. That might undermine the dogma. It's only the absence of a charismatic leader that prevents these groups from being cults. On the plus side it's also what makes them lolcows.

I would say it mattered in a day and age when, say, Jackie Robinson making it big in sports was new (it also helps that he served in the military too which I imagine got him some points), but the sorts of celebrities Tropers climb all over are nowhere near the same calibre of talent and respectability.

Well, considering how they actually have an thread or two about that shit, it's not too far off for them to actually worship DEI

Fwiw, the military eventually screwed him over to the point where he was never deployed overseas.

Well damn, that's sobering to hear!

I have a lot of respect for veterans so knowing he didn't get a chance to exercise his right to defend his country is disappointing.

He probably would have had an year or two of fighting Nazis under the best of circumstances. But we all know how hardheaded the higher ups in the military are.
 
Speaking of dumb, new tropes. I got two that I think are fun. One is "Shocking Moments" that's essentially a forced meme on the website.

They've been trying to make it the equivalent of "Nightmare Fuel" and "Crowning Moment of Awesome" for years and it just hasn't taken. The obvious problem is that ANYTHING can be a shocking moment. It's a meaningless term because it is purely subjective. The next one is "Plot Irrelevant Powers". This is brand new, just got a page on May 1st.

This is pretty clearly just a 'complain about plot threads and other bullshit that you personally don't like' trope, so I expect to see it get it's own Clean Up thread very soon. I saw it used on Sinners already to complain about how the MC's "powers" were used and it was a pretty dumb gripe if you've seen the movie.

They needed something to take the place of the other old nonsense potholes like "Holy Shit Quotient" and "I Am Not Making This Up Disclaimer", I assume.

The Clique series.

It's about girls being bitches to each other. One girl in the group has big boobs.
She's the only minority and has a curvier figure than the starved white girls. No wonder she gets a hard time for them.

She doesn't have implants it's just a joke because she has bigger boobs than the others!

>It's about girls being bitches to each other
....so a true story then?
 
This is actually from the subreddit but I found it so fascinating that I wanted to bring it here.

Part 1: Getting really worked up about a trivial "problem"

Do you think he knows that he can just make another account?

Indeed, it's sadly reminiscent of the children who have to grow up with the monster in a dress who killed their father.
Did they proofread this one? Talk about unfortunate implications.

Applicability has to be the worst page on the entire site. It's literally just doing the "Curtains were blue" meme where they take things completely out of context just to force them into their own stupid box.

I remember nostalgia critic reviewing a cartoon called "the owl house", he noted how the villains had deep complex character arcs... except the big bad who was a christian zealot archetype depicted as pure evil with zero nuance. I think about that a lot.

I know nothing about Owl House except for the fact that it has a really weird fucking fanbase and now I understand why.

Dana Terrace fangirls are fucking insane. The second they see her name on something, they lose their shit. I was watching a reaction to Tangled: The Series the other day, and the chick actually paused the episode to stop and spaz about how she saw Dana's name in the credits for storyboard artist or some shit.
