What I like about this description is how that last sentence conveys nothing to someone unfamiliar with web critics and if anything will probably turn them off someone like Strider.

Assuming I knew nothing about Strider, why should I care that some Internet jagoff compares it to the Holocaust? In what way does that give me an idea about how bad it is if I neither care nor know about Strider? And why should I watch him considering his inflammatory comparison of some disgusting anime to one of the worst genocides in recent human history?

I mean hell, why have that last sentence at all? The description itself is already disturbing as it is and anybody who's reading it already has an idea of how disturbing it is. The only reason that sentence exists that I can think of is because the guy writing this is a Strider fanboy who wants to shoehorn him into the description so other autists can watch him too.

This sums up plenty of examples. They take TV Tropes as their chance to autistically blather about their favorite sources of entertainment, to the point where they nurture hideous amounts of myopia.

The first documentations about otherkin may go as far back as the Middle Ages during the era in which people were prosecuted because they were werewolves. Back then you could get prosecuted because the neighborhood didn't like you, in which case he attributed werewolvery to you (because what other reasons could you give for the cow that was flat out dead with all organs spattered allall over the place). Believe it or not, some people that were prosecuted believed what the neighborhood said and they told all their "deeds" to the court. Scientists later on gathered evidence that in truth, they suffered from "lycantropia" or "werewolf illness".

Tropers are now sperging about Lovecraft having been racist:

I mean, he was, but that's the only thing about him that they seem to know about.

Some of the best art and literature produced across all history has been produced by people whose views would likely be considered barbarous by modern standards. It's not something to bitch and moan about, because it's more like fact people need to get over, accept the time it was written and what was culturally acceptable as things that cannot be changed or ignored, then with that in mind their work should be judged on its own merit, insofar as you can separate the personal and moral views of the author from the work itself.

Anything else is just idiotic moral posturing over things you can't accept happened and that was then, this is now.

Lovecraft actually was frighteningly racist for his time though. He kind of grew out of it but on a superficial level the TVT fags have a point about his views. However, that doesn't mean liking his works is an implicit endorsement of his views.
 
That guy with the USA flag in some autistic Star Wars symbol, what's up with him? I see him appear in every forum post and I'd wager he's some butthurt SJW.
 
I like that idiots still keep holding up the views of long-dead people to modern standards. In a hundred years the shit SJWs do is not going to be looked on favourably, either.

The Star Wars revival couldn't have come at a more awkward time. Many social justice millennials style themselves after the Rebel Alliance because the Trump Administration is literally the Empire.

Forget 100 years from now, most people are looking down on them and shaking their heads in disgust right now.

It's just that they're in the minority at the moment.
 
Most people don't care that much for SJW's.I doubt most people in high crime areas of Chicago waste time reading up on the latest 'ideas' that SJW's have.That being said these ideas do usually end up being know by the general public in some form.But few care that much for them.
As for tvtropes for me the funniest trope is the whole fanondiscontinuity thing which boils down to we hate his sequel/episode/whatever therefore it never happened.I get liking a show or movie but wasting time getting angry about a sequel that sucked and suddenly declaring to have never happened like you actually can erase the past or something seems like you have some 'issues' serious ones.
