Another weird thing about tropers is that a lot of them seem to hate settling things privately. Whenever you try, they dare you to involve the mods because they want to make a big show about how right they are and how stupid you are for challenging them.

One time I actually stumbled upon an Ask The Tropers thread about myself. Apparently someone got really mad that I forgot TVT was a safezone hugbox and got snippy in some comments. I still haven't read it but it's surreal knowing that someone was actively trying to get you banned because they don't know what else to do.

Small tip:

If you want to browse TVTropes without all the LGBTQ stuff getting in your face, here's a Tampermonkey / Greasemonkey script to hide the junk.
It removes LGBT-related trope entries, as well as paragraphs that contain LGBT-related words.
Now you can enjoy trope autism without being constantly reminded how "in episode 24323554 Jimmy is sad when he drops his ice cream; similarly, trans people IRL are sad because of their dumb stinky parents and fascist Trump".

Code: 
// ==UserScript==
// @name         Remove Unwanted Elements
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      1.0
// @description  Remove <p> and <li> elements containing unwanted strings

(function() {
    'use strict';

    const unwanted_strings = ["FanPreferredCouple", " gay"," Gay "," Gay:","lesbian","Lesbian","transgender","Transgender","bisexual","Bisexual","Ambiguously Bi","Queer ","Trans ","Rainbow Lens","Homosexual","homosexual","Transsexual","transsexual","non-binary","nonbinary","HoYay","LesYay","LGBT"," enbie"," enby"];
    // Note: Some shorter strings, such as 'gay', have a space before them; this helps decrease the amount of false positives from unrelated words containing those strings.
    
    function removeUnwantedElements() {
        // Select all <p> and <li> and <td> elements
        document.querySelectorAll('p, li, td').forEach(element => {
            // Check if the element contains any unwanted string in text content
            let containsUnwantedString = unwanted_strings.some(str => element.textContent.includes(str));

            // Check if any <a> inside contains an unwanted string in its href
            let containsUnwantedHref = Array.from(element.querySelectorAll('a')).some(a =>
                a.href && unwanted_strings.some(str => a.href.includes(str))
            );

            if (containsUnwantedString || containsUnwantedHref) {
                element.remove();
            }
        });
    }

    // Run the function initially
    removeUnwantedElements();

    // Observe changes to the DOM to remove dynamically added elements
    const observer = new MutationObserver(() => removeUnwantedElements());
    observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
    // Note: not sure if this part is needed for TVTropes
})();

I never understood this mentality. There are plenty of soft-spoken men with effeminate interests who are also successful family men, and don’t use their wives as beards. Not everything has to be secretly gay.

Their thread on Iran is about to be locked when it's mostly just people sharing the news and commenting on it.

The jannies are still going for the "we don't get paid for this shit" excuse because that's probably the exact opinion of at least one of the owners. (remember, this hellhole was brought for around a million dollars)

Of course it is. It's impossible to talk about what's going on without involving he-who-must-not-be-named. Honestly they need to cut the shit ande just delete the IRL politics section if they're going to get this bitchy whenever something actually happens.
 
You gotta love how they describe the Transformers films by Michael Bay vs the newer ones (not saying the former are good mind you).

Really shows what they think of the people who like the former vs the latter.

Bumblebee was a terrible fucking movie, but I see why Tropers like it: It was aggresively kid friendly and safe, it had a bunch of awkward callbacks to the original movie like random snippets of 80s music, and it had John fucking Cena as the main villain in his most unconvincing performance ever.

I like Bayformers, I'll admit it, but I get why people don't. But the idea that the new shit is any good is just an outright lie. If they were they wouldn't keeo bombing at the box office.
