Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Diabetes gives you continual weight loss rather then weight gain.

Update: well apparently Diabetes can increases your weight. Thanks @Deadwaste

I never noticed Zack gaining weight in the original Zack and Cody...then again, I wasn't really focusing on his physique as a kid watching the show like this adult troper probably is.
 
There are "ecchi" (soft porn) mangas for all settings under the sun, including offices populated by 30-40 year olds. The fact that this troper opts for high school and "fanservice shots" from teens just speaks for his sexual preference.

That is one dumb as FUCK argument.

The first sentence alone makes me want to smack this sick fuck, because let's say he's trying to use the argument animated child porn is a methadone like substitute for the real thing, because that sure sounds like his logic.

If so, he's a moron, because like all substitutes for hardcore addicts, it's like a cheap off-brand version of something that they really want, and most hardcore addicts of something will sooner or later find they cannot break themselves of their addiction to the real thing, and even having a substitute around is basically a slightly less malignant version of the real deal and thus a constant reminder something "better" still exists.

So he's full of shit on that topic. Ideally, it would be better if all IRL child molesters could find a less barbaric substitute, and if I had any confidence it would keep the overwhelming majority of them from hurting children, I'd endorse this logic, but given what we know NOW about this kind of deviance, that's a bullshit argument. Hell, most of the time the substitute in this case is the gateway to the real deal in the first place.

As for the rest of his argument, fine, I concede sex sells, and changing the circumstances would make it just as skeevy in a different way, but he's still trying to establish a false equivalency based on the perversion in question being equal, which it isn't.

Skeevy shit involving teenagers appeals to a crowd that jerks off to that age group, while an office setting gets the crowd who likes the more mature age group aroused. They are both perverted media, just one appeals to the people who'd definitely be arrested if they tried to act it out for real.
 
To continue the methadone substitute analogy, if i remember correctly (which i probably don't) methadone programs are meant to get addicts A: into places where rehabilitation could happen, B: slowly ween them off something they're already doing, C: get them away from the drugs on the street which can cause a shitload of problems with dealers and quality control.

The key thing to note is that methadone programs are meant for people who are already doing it, something which doesn't and can't exist for child molestation. Basically what I'm saying is that substitutes don't fucking work if you go from "not doing X" to "doing the Y substitute for X"

ya know. this reminds me of way back in 2010


in 2010, tv tropes was allowing NSFW content like porn on their site. but on october 27th, Google caught wind of the porn on the site and how sick in the head the members are being and they decided to pull their advertising. Fast Eddie aka Gus Raley did not like this. since it costed hundreds of dollars a month to keep the site afloat and they only had enough for one month, there was a very real chance the site could go offline for an indefinite amount of time.

Soooooo..... the members and mods started working overtime to sensor everything NSFW and lots of articles got nerfed. among them was the Sonichu Article.

on Nov. 8th, after making an iron curtain on even the most blatant "Mature Content", google gave them back their ads.

The Sonichu article was nerfed long before that (it was gutted and locked around the time they decided The Westboro Baptist Church didn't need an article), because it contained lots of piss takes against Chris. TV Tropes doesn't like criticisms because that is SO MEAN!!!

The most notable casualty of what they called "the Google incidence" was the Lolita (Nabokov, not Japan) article.

I mean FFS, there's purging to appease the advertisers, then there's just straight out being r.etarded. And that's what TVTropes did. And even then the purge was stupid since they're a site that documents work. They're effectively going against their very nature by deleting works pages or entire Tropes altogether.

I wouldn't mind a user purge, however.

In regards to these points about people hating Mr. Rogers, one of these things is not like the others, tone wise

Also if you look at the link it provides they misinterpreted the comment. The commenter was calling Bill Nye a glue-sniffer, implying he was like Mr. Rogers but retarded.
 
I don't care if I ain't that welcome here...

Just the name of that trope alone makes me sick to my stomach with how r.etarded it is, regardless of what it's used for.

This guy literally called himself an oppressed minority :story::story::story::story::story:

His page:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/Inhopelessguy

  • Bond One-Liner - Esp. used in videogames where an enemy is defeated or killed or whatever.
IH: Take that to heaven, bitch.
Brother: You do know that car is fictional, right?
IH: Take that, BRAH!
Friend: Dude. You just stabbed me with a fricking compass.
  • Waxing Lyrical - Well, with over 15GiB of music, It's kinda hard not to.
  • Creator Breakdown - Subverted. Has a stupidly high tolerance of taking crap. However, one day...
  • Break the Cutie - Not a cutie (although thinks self to be), but has gotten this several times on a daily basis from friends.
  • Berserk Button - Do not step in front of the television when something good is on. Just don't.
  • Asian and Nerdy - As in South Asian. Not Oriental. But, yes, extremely nerdy.
Friend: The PS Move has two controllers!
IH: Oh, like a bi-directional input system.
Friend: Great, you just ruined it by making it more nerdier than before.
  • Angrish - Damn, I stubbed my finger on the A button. How the fu...
  • Elevator Escape - Well, subverted. I wanted to get out of the lift instead.
  • Mr. Exposition - Does a lot of this to people who ask me 'so what are you doing?'
  • Eagleland - A mixture of both flavours. Essentially, all Americans speak like a surfer, a hillbilly, or a New Yorker. Nobody walks, everyone solves crime on-the-fly, guns are as a staple as bread, and have terrible healthcare.
  • Traveling at the Speed of Plot -
IH: Dude! I need to get home on the bus! To the bus stop! <ten minutes> The bus is here. <daydream a little> I'm home! Wait, what?
  • Brilliant, but Lazy. I'm in the top percentile of the West Midlands county in terms of IQ, but yet... still lazy. Just look at these tropes. Non-alphabetisised.
  • Perpetual Smiler. Oh yeah...
  • Nice Guy. So nice.... my tolerance of shit is pretty high.
  • Rapid-Fire Typing. I once managed to type really fast on one keyboard at a rate of about 50wd/s. I hate laptop keyboards, and flat keyboards. The keys don't work as well as raised keyboards.
  • Deadpan Snarker. I've always imagined myself as the one guy in the background making snide remarks.
Friend: C'mon Hopey! I'm sure you'll be perfect for the job of being a loser.
IH: *under his breath* Wow. I knew I should've made friends with psychopaths. They're more sympathetic.
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander. Oh dear god. Even on the forums, my thoughts are often outlandish, non-sequiturs, and one time...
  • Precision F-Strike. On the internet more than in real life. I once not swore in Real Life from the years of 1995 to 2008. And I haven't sworn in Real Life for about... a week. On here? As of 10.07am (BST) on 12-JUL-11, 45 minutes.
  • Cool Car. Well, I can't drive, but my mother has a Mercedes A-Class and my dad a Nissan Primera. The Primera has a pretty banging stereo system.
  • Neutral Good. I consider my morals to be the most absolute thing. However, if a bigger moral dilema needs to be solved - and breaking a smaller one helps it, then that is fine. E.g. I do not lie. However, if I must not disclose the location of X, then I will lie about the location of X, because to me, that is the morally right thing to do. I will follow the rule of law to the letter. I will comply with regulations, rules, as long as my personal freedoms are not violated.
  • The Ditz. Often. I often get so-called 'blonde moments'. I have black hair, and I'm a guy.
  • Bilingual Bonus. I managed to get one of my cousins a better deal on something because I realised what the French shopkeeper was talking about.
  • Engaging Conversation. Yeah... Not actually said 'Marry me', but y'know, stupid things are said in the heat of the moment. Oh yeah, I said 'I love you'. Fu...
  • Curse Cut Short.
What the fu..WARRGGH! - I tripped over a wire when someone came out at school.
  • Reading the Stage Directions Out Loud. <nosebleed> <sigh> and <yawn>. You can guess why.
  • Product Placement. Oh... so much. I am a walking billboard! I can also guess most slogans of TV adverts.
  • Mistaken for Gay. My metrosexuality (i.e. camp straight) means that people assume my effeminate nature means that I am gay. I'm not. Which explains the bit of e-screaming at the top of the page.
  • Camp Straight. See above. I'm metrosexual.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome. On here, on the Compliment the Above Troper thread, I managed to compliment people in song, street colloquialism, French and English. I combined all of them, and I got a pretty good result.
    • There are more. Of course.
  • Totally Radical. Here's a list of colloquialism I throw around.
    • Whatevs/Whenevs.
    • Redics. (short for rediculous)
    • Totes.
    • Kick. (Short for kick-ass)
    • Sweet.
    • Aweso. (short for awesome)
    • To Parr


And he also has a list of people he wrote songs for and of people who wrote poetry for him.

Even more annoying than the constant references to Sonic in EVERY FUCKING PAGE is the loser who wrote a Calvin and Hobbes fanfic, and then proceeded to spam every topic on the site. He went by the name BlueGuy.
Sadly no one has ever done a purge of his edits since spamming in that manner is apparently not against the rules.

Is it this one? I was wondering why it showed up on every trope.
