but why does your mission scope include perverse articles about perverse exploitative japanese child pornography

Nice b8 m8, but I do have a serious answer for that.

For instance, why would we have an article on say, "Boku no Pico"?

The same reason these people do:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boku_no_pico

Don't get me wrong. It'd be child porn if it were live action, and I find it morally reprehensible, but it remains legal to talk about it and in many jurisdictions to view, so disgusting as it may be, it's a work of media, and thus can be objectively discussed as a work of media.

To use an example I used in another thread, Gustave Flaubert's "Madame Bovary", was, at the time it was written, viewed with the same revulsion then as we would view Boku no Pico now, only it's topic was about a woman who discovers she enjoys an adultery fetish, which at the time it was written, was the height of disgusting for that time.

Flaubert was taken to court for "corrupting public morals" and WON a court case in which it stated art should be viewed for the sake of the art itself absent it's political or social value (insofar as it was legal to do so), and that so long as it was legal, discussion and perusal of art offensive to some was also legal, reprehensible or glorious as it might be otherwise in a moral sense.

We take the same view. Personally, I do not like either Boku no Pico nor Madame Bovary, the content within both run counter to my personal morals. Regardless, they exist, are media, and free to discuss and view legally, and our site mission is to not allow our political or social mores to compromise our discussion of media, and if that bothers anyone, so be it, we aren't bending our principles anymore than Flaubert did his, and he told the critics of his day to blow it out their ass and not read it or talk about it if it bothered them so much.

I take the same position as a creator of media myself, and unlike TV Tropes, which has to censor content because they willingly cuckolded themselves to their advertisement sponsors, we have no such restraint except what is imposed by law, and that's all we care about.

Tv Tropes will ruin your life TM

Which would imply that half of these fuckers have a life. Something I highly doubt they do.

Yeah, you say that but like...Andromeda is vile and it shouldn't even have a wiki. Objectively can go to the gas chambers tbh.

It's also a reference to common slogan of the site, ie viewing tv tropes too much will mean you will see tropes everywhere and will constantly break media down and not be able to appreciate it as much as easily

"they put this out, black people see it and think, "well, if the FBI's gonna call me a terrorist for demanding equality, what do I have to lose?""

But I bet this retard has no issue calling Conservatives Nazis.

But I bet this exceptional individual has no issue calling Conservatives Nazis.

That makes up basically all of the On-Topic Conversation threads.

Honestly seems like this is the only forums that haven't succumbed to Neogaf Syndrome sometimes.

The only people who insist conservatives aren't nazis are in fact conservative nazis so I'm not certain what you're trying to tell us about yourself

No, the fbi will call you a terrorist for performing terrorist actions. I swear to God it's like people saying "Well you know antifa say they are anti-fascists so their actions cannot be fascist/ are against fascism so they are justified,"

 

[SuperSheep]

I wonder if the fascists started calling themselves "Anti-fascists", people would justify their actions because they are calling themselves Antifa.

They don't have to change anything else, just what they call themselves in public.

Oh those poor black people... Oh please, please fuck off!

Alright - to be serious for a moment: I'm black and I want to smack half these people posting on shit they know nothing about, as well as those associated with BLM in general for how much they suck. In the end, civil disobedience (that involves looting , especially!!) is still disobedience. Something these niggas are definitely good at, besides not much else.

So, yeah... thank you, Trump. Now go do this to ANTIFA next (if you haven't already), please.

• Greater-Scope Villain: Donald Trump is the inspiration for the cult itself and a lot of anxiety in much of the show's cast, but he is not involved with the main plot at all.

IT FINALLY HAPPENED!

 

[Steamboat_Bill]

IT FINALLY HAPPENED!

What is this a trope for?

 

[c-no]

What is this a trope for?

American Horror Story season 7. A quick check on Wikipedia shows its about some lady with a fear of clowns. Meanwhile, a MAGA neighbor is making some cult. TV Tropes goes further in that its about a lesbian lady with a fear of clowns getting triggered by Trump winning. The MAGA guy is a blue haired anarchist making a cult that uses clowns. This sounds less of a horror story and more of something one could make a comedy out of.

The trailer literally features the blue-haired dude humping the television as Donald Trump is elected. I think the writers were intending it to be disturbing, but it comes off as hilarious.

They also got clowns having sex in the produce aisle and according to TV Tropes clown fearing lady has a wife who is pissed at her for voting Stein instead of Hillary. Still funny they list Trump as greater scope villain despite the blue hair being a crazy nihilist who could still go off.

 

[iafiv]

I guess the folks at TVtropes have not heard about the cop shootings like those in Dallas or the incidents of black extremists killing white folks like that incident in California a few months ago.But hey who cares about reality when everything bad is because of 'white people'.It would be nice if the US Census bureau could do away with all these racial/ethnic classifications since they're being used by everyone to justify whatever policy suits their group.They might have been useful in the past but these days they serve only to entrench divisions.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

• Does This Remind You of Anything?: Millions of undesirables, only made undesirable by an unscrupulous, democratically elected politician for a relatively harmless reason (especially when considering that a percentage of said undesirables could not be held responsible for their status or are entirely within the confines of the law regarding said status), packed into a complex ill-designed to hold so many people and left for dead.

fuck off.

 

[Bimmy and Jimmy]

these shit bags bashing trump on tv tropes would be the same ones cheering hillary or kaine bombing innocents or commiting war crimes in an illegal regime change war over syria
