Because delving into actual analysis and discussing the worth of these time-tested conventions is too hard for their (allegedly) superior intellect.

Also: has anyone gone through the Values Dissonance pages yet, because that place feels like Tumblr wrote it. Here are links to values dissonance in film and in Western animation.

You should definitely see the anime section. Top notch bullshit.

Anime was a mistake.

Values dissonance has so many examples that its almost impossible to go through them and see if they even make sense.You get bored long before you finish.Maybe that's the point to get bored and not see how dumb some of that stuff is.

It's one of their dumbest pages, mainly because it has nothing to do with tropes. Of course, you could say the same for roughly 70% of that website.

It's essentially thinly-veiled virtue-signalling, since the goal of the page is to remind you that you shouldn't enjoy anything that hasn't been approved by the TVT committee of good taste or else you're a goddamn nazi.

One set of pages I unironically like is Fandom-Specific Plot. While they're probably written by people who have an entire lexicon of shitty fanfics between them, the snarking is still genuinely amusing.

So many of the choices are fucking hilarious.

I also found very funny examples in the Ron the Death Eater HP section:

• Some of the stories featured in this collection of Harmonian one-shots use this. Surprisingly however, it is not the Weasleys who bear the brunt of it. In the final short story, Dumbledore is made guilty of stealing more than eight million galleons from Harry's bank vault at Gringotts, an offense so great he and his accomplice Snape are executed on Harry's first day at Hogwarts. Despite this, Dumbledore still comes off as better than the heroes.

• In Honey, Dumbledore and the Ministry regularly cannibalize the Muggle-born students for their power.

• In Not Go Gentle (NSFW), Ron rapes Hermione, although he was being manipulated by his sister Ginny, who's in love with Voldemort. Voldemort, for his part, just wants her loyalty. The author is quite fond of Weasley-bashing; his other fics include Dominatrix Hermione, Cowboy Voldemort, Wrestler Voldemort, Evil!Alternate Universe!Harry, Super-Masochist Ginny, more Gratuitous Rape than you can shake a stick at, and Ron being so stupid that he can't tell one hole from another.

And I can't search for more, since there is so much stuff there, but I think I read somewhere that somebody wrote a fic where Mrs Weasley and Umbridge were lovers...?

Tropers are butthurt about the cancellation of SJW-written Marvel Comics.

They then go on to rage about a pointless jab at Trump being cut:

They get that Marvel is trying to make money, right? If nobody's buying those books, they're just losing money printing them. But, I'm sure it's Trump's fault they aren't selling somehow.

"Marvel has canceled all their shitty, garbage books that nobody bought."

Fixed that for them.

 

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

I think the Tropers in that thread might have been the entire audience that actually bought those SJW comics.

I see this shit and thank God every day we at All The Tropes decided an on-wiki forum for political shit was stupid and off mission.

Nah. They might have read scans online but I'm pretty sure most people who bought the comics were hate readers.

How many of these spergs do you think just read the comics they're moaning about on readcomicsonline? I'm guessing all of them.

 

[iafiv]

Why don't they write their own fanfiction with Marvel characters if they're so angry about Marvel not doing what they want?Its not that hard to write it if they really want a bigendered superhero who takes out all those cisnormative white guys who are the worst thing to happen since ever.
Weirdly the left in the West is starting to sound increasingly racial based compared to the old left that was class based.Hitler and Stalin would be confused by this.

that'd take effort so it's better if they do it because we're too lazy to do shit

Well yeah, they'd probably blame Trump for taking down TVT if they could.

Tropers have no idea how the real world even works when it comes to stuff like profit. Besides, it's better than the alternative of going further and further into the SJW shithole and eventually having to declare bankruptcy again.

Even if you got that through their thick skulls they'd just use it as a reason capitalism is evil.

Something I dug up from TV Tropes: they get triggered by the "It's OK to Be White" campaign:

First off, if ANYONE on All The Tropes is caught dead being this damn stupid, please mock them. Hell, I'll join in.

Second, the "privilege" argument is utterly moronic for one reason.

While it's true not everyone is born with the same wealth, personal talents, or opportunities, that is in no way a negative for them so long as those qualities are not used to deny the opportunities of others, insofar as they are capable of achieving them.

The only time the privilege argument holds water is when the above is true. Otherwise, something like being rich, white, or having access to friends in high places is nothing to be ashamed of simply because they exist, because hating someone or even yourself for simply having those qualities is the same as hating someone for breathing air.
