While we're at it:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/NightmareFuel/StephenKing
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/NightmareFuel/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic

A quick word count check says that all of Stephen King's works combined (including the page itself) add up to 34114.

MLP adds up to 35255.

Without the pages for their comics and fanfics.

And it's only Friendship is Magic.

Why.
 
And keep in mind that this is about their Nightmare Fuel section. I know it's on the URLs, but it needs to to be stated for emphasis anyway.

Don't you love it when every single episode of that pony show has some "Nightmare Fuel"?

You've poured your heart and soul into a gift for your best friends. They don't like it at all.

Imagine never finding your purpose in life when everyone around you has.

A regular day of work is enough to invoke bad dreams in many people, let alone a day in which you're put behind schedule by someone else's incompetence.

Thank you. I'm now so traumatized I jump at my own shadow.

Also, nice casual racism:
Zecora is based off several tribal African cultures. Some cultures on that continent actually do practice cannibalism.

Damn, now I won't sleep with that healthy amount of Mildly Unpleasant Everyday Thoughts Fuel.

At least in Peru that is actually a pretty popular insult to anyone in politics (mostly political wannabes) who's rich but is a leftist.

Back to TVTropes, I've always wondered how quickly they went from pedo apologists to classical leftards when Fast Eddie stopped running the site. I've seen that topic getting on this thread, but I can't find much of a history for that. I'd like to see more of the mass purge of pedos the site had during their sponsorship drama.

After the great paedo purge, a lot of those creeps went off to sites like All The Tropes where the purged works like Kodomo no Jikan are still there. I think the social justice crowd moved in to replace them at that point.

During the Congo war of 1996-2003, some militiamen took to eating pygmies to give themselves strength in battle. It may be "casual racism", but for once it's actually true.

Isn't it possible that Tropers only use the Nightmare Fuel page to elevate their obsessions (especially the stuff that would be considered more for kids than adults) to something it isn't? Or are people really that scared of everything? Or could it be both?
 
  • Critics of SpongeBob say that the show has gotten too dark and mean-spirited in recent years. Some joke that the writers read creepypastas and decided to make official episodes like that.

There are a lot of things to blame for SpongeBob's drop in quality, like the creator leaving the show and the writing team being switched out, but creepypastas aren't one of them.

Also, am I the only one who hates it when these idiots call something "mean-spirited?" It's like dark humor doesn't exist to them, hell some of the older episodes had plenty of dark humor.
 
That's debatable. The episode they're most likely referring to, "Are You Happy Now?", features one scene of Squidward doing various activities that make it look like he's about to kill himself (sticking his head in the oven to pull out a dish, hanging a piece of rope to hold up a birdcage, etc.) People claim this is a subtle reference to "Squidward's Suicide", and while they claim one of the writers has read the pasta, I doubt putting in a reference to something like a creepypasta in a kids show would be something the higher-ups at Nickelodeon would approve of.

In this case, it's troper autists who want to put ponies literally everywhere, and not just a few, but have a Nightmare Fuel entry for every single fucking episode. Most "big" tropes have shit exactly like this.
 
I'd put more Spongebob examples on here, but I don't want to contract some kind of terminal illness from all the autism.

It's bizarre to me so many Troper spergs get so wound up over modern SpongeBob. I get it, the show is a big part of a lot of people's childhoods these days, but if it's really that bad just stop watching it. The older episodes still exist, and guess what they still hold up. Just watch those instead. There's no reason to get your panties in a bunch over a show even fans acknowledge isn't all that good anymore.

We're talking about a website that has a Nightmare Fuel page for vanity plates. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/NightmareFuel/VanityPlate
Pretty sure it's both.

As in, this is stuff that only scares kids. I can definitely see a child getting scared by the THX logo earrape, but for most adults it's just an earrape. I'm guessing that the other side of the adult spectrum that are not "most adults" use TVTropes.

there's far too much for just one person

The Reveal at the end of the already-controversial Ghost In The Shell that Scarlett Johansson's character was originally a Japanese girl before being turned into a Caucasian cyborg has been criticized for unintentionally reinforcing the idea that European beauty is superior to all others.
Jen Yamato: “Ghost in the Shell” sent a clear, cold message to me as an Asian woman that I am not as worthy of owning my own identity. It’s a dehumanizing concept to sell so cheerily to mass audiences.
