I will admit that I do actually have a tropes account and I do sometimes edit the wiki. I haven't posted on the forums in a few years and I didn't even post much back when I did post.

This was on a headscratchers page. No it isn't an answer it is supposed to be a question, except it isn't.

But the difference is those shows have been around forever. Dr Who has existed since 1963 and The Simpsons has reached 28 seasons. So those shows having an obscenely large number of tropes isn't that surprising.

This iteration of My Little Pony has only been around for 7 seasons, which is a long time for children's TV, but nowhere near the length of Dr Who and The Simpsons.

To put it another way, SpongeBob SquarePants, a show that has been on the air for about 20 years, has about 4 subpages for its tropes while MLP: Friendship is Magic, a show that's existed for roughly less than half that time has 7.

Now this I don't get. It's one thing for something like Simpsons, Dr. Who or whatever to have multiple pages because as said before, there's plenty to talk about with them- BtS trivia, in episode trivia, merchandise, spin-offs/tie-ins, all that crazy shit. Those shows have been around for decades, so it's understandable they get multiple pages and even episode guides. Not everyone's going to want to sit through hundreds of episodes.

Yet with MLP, not only does it out autism those two shows by tenfold. But doesn't even need all the subpages it has. It only has them because tropers and Bronies have no lives to speak of. Same with other cartoons like Steven Universe. You have your "YMMV", "Characters" and "Trivia" subpages. That in theory is all you need besides the main page and its tropes. But nope, why not have a whopping 22 subpages. And have the characters into 13 more, with entire pages dedicated to Steven, Connie and Peridot?

The point I'm trying to get at is that autism is one hell of a disorder.

  • Butter: The "5 WORST fanbases" video. Due to the fact that there are so many terrible fanbases to choose from and so many things that need to be said, the video was basically guaranteed to be awesome, especially since IHE has a history of well-done rants on fans. And what does he do with this amazing concept, that was basically guaranteed to be awesome? He runs it in the ground.
    First, he makes up three rules to judge how bad these fanbases are. Isn't the whole point of IHE that all his videos are based on his opinions and are not ment to be taken as objectively true or false statements, him trying to back up his placement is going against that and renders his defence of everything just being his opinion null and void, especially since rule #1 and #3 themselves boil down to "it's muh 'pinion". The second rule isn't really legit either. It defines two criterias, how much results you find for the fanbase at r34 and how quickly you cringe when you look at fanart on deviantart. Both criteria are arbitrary; how much results you find at r34 is directly proportional to the franchises popularity (IHE even points that out in the very first entry) and thus irrelevant to the fanbases quality (For example, by that logic Real Life has the worst fanbase somehow), and 'how quickly you cringe' is an extremely trite statement that doesn't really have any meaning.
    His first entry are gamers, which is incredibly redundant because both Sonic the Hedgehog and Five Nights at Freddy'sare video games and are also on the list. His reasons are also very hypocritical; he rants about how gamers will go out of their way to rant about things they know they won't like, just to belittle it, because that's the very thing his own channel is about. He also claims that they are 'entitled', which is a meaningless statement since this is one of those words that don't mean anything without context, context he never gives.
    Number four is anime, and the very first thing he says about it is that he doesn't know anything about it. Great. He doesn't even bring up a point against the anime fandom. He just cracks a contextless joke about some guy called James and how James ruined his live. That's it. He also doesn't bring up his second rule again, he doesn't even lampshade it this time, he just drops it.
    Number three is Sonic. Like the anime segment, it feels really rushed, but this time, instead of abandoning rule 2, the entire segment just consists of it. The segment goes like this: Here's the number of images Sonic has on r34, here the number on deviant art. These pictures are cringeworthy *shows pictures that are obvious jokes like a Shadow x Shrek pairing and a picture of a toilet looking like Sonic*
    Number two are bronies. This is probably the least bad entry on his list, but that doesn't mean it's not flawed. His first complaint is that bronies are 'obsessed', which is another context- and meaningless statement. Another complaint is that there are costumes for it. So all popular media in existance, including Real Life suck, because there are costumes of their characters? He also uses rule 2 again, but it goes against his placement of this fandom. MLP has less results than Sonic. If the only somewhat objective rule states that the Sonic fandom is worse than the MLP one, why is MLP higher on the list?
    Number one is FNaF. The first point of his is that people should shut up about it and there are too many videos one YouTube about it. IHE made multiple vidoes about it, talk about hypocrisy. His next point is that people are playing it's creepyness down and thus going against the point of it bring a horror game. This is a phenomenon that is present in every media of the horror genre ever. It's a huge double standard to act like the flaws of an entire genre are caused by one fandom; why is it something unusual that most of FNaF-fan-media are not scary on their own, when the exact same thing is the case for things like Silent Hill, etc., you name it.

This guy is clearly an obnoxious fan that got butthurt by IHE.

What the fuck does this even mean. That IHE can't have rules for putting fanbases on a list due to them being his opinions? The fuck is that about?

if you'd just out and told us in the first place that you like distributing pro-eugenics propaganda we could have entirely avoided the whole of this this entirely avoidable song and dance
