To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Madoka Magica.

LOL, they have a tearjerker page for Austin Powers

My favorite part of this autism?
Fat Bastard's emotional breakdown from the end of The Spy Who Shagged Me is surprisingly this.
"Of course I'm not happy! Look at me! I'm a big fat slob! I've got bigger titties than you [Felicity Shagwell] do! I've got more chins than a Chinese phone book! I've not seen my willie in two years, which is long enough to declare it legally dead! I can't stop eating! I eat because I'm unhappy... and I'm unhappy because I eat. It's a vicious cycle. If you'll excuse me... There's someone I need to get in touch with and forgive. Myself."
  • He has a second one in Goldmember.
"Well, to be honest with you, I've been trying to go legit. I really take my sumo wrestling seriously, you know. But when you're an overweight child in a society that demands perfection, your sense of right and wrong, of fair and unfair, will always be tragically skewed."

Context: His grandma died of cancer and he'll have to take a break from the "complete monster" thread from a few days because he has to fly out to go to her funeral. Guess sperging about Black Panther means more to him?

Considering the echo chamber nature of the site, I bet the discussion is dreadfully boring.
 
'Fuck cancer' such an apparently though saying but in reality it has no value.Also did this guy actually have to explain why he was leaving the room for a few days?And then bitch about missing the Black Panther discussion?Its kind of funny how SJW types complain that their haters have little if any empathy but with such discussions you realise that their actual empathy is close to nonexistent for anyone outside of their group.And that creepily includes even their relatives.Basically it does boil down to them and that's it.

The guy's page does say he has autism.
 
Found a trope called Sci-Fi Ghetto. It's pretty much the same as Animation Age Ghetto, except with Sci-Fi. I was looking at the Quotes page and some of these quotes you can tell were inserted because of pure saltiness.

A chastity belt is a harness that is made to fit around the waist, blocking access to the naughty parts, thus preventing sex. Kinda like wearing a Star Trek belt.

I mean, they aren't wrong.

I have nothing to say about it. I did that years ago and I mostly denied I ever did it...Otherwise, all I would get would be Star Trek questions for the rest of my natural life — and probably my unnatural life. You ever see those people who are Star Trek fans? The same people who go to swap meets.
—Teri Garr (right before hanging up the phone) in an interview with Starlog

If Teri Garr doesn't want to be associated with Star Trek, then don't hold it against her. And considering some of the Trek fanbase, her opinions are kind of generous if anything.

Looking at the actual page though is so goddamn ridiculous. I decided to look at the Films tab and I swear to God, there are so many examples that don't even qualify as science fiction. I legit think tropers don't know what Science Fiction even is.

I haven't seen Black Swan, but it doesn't even sound like Sci-Fi.

  • The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was nominated for several Academy Awards and Golden Globes, including Best Drama and Best Actor. It's about a man who is born old and ages in reverse. That sound like Magic Realism to you?
  • note But Magical Realism isn't fantasy. Cough cough, ahem. Sorry, I had something in my throat. (Sarcasm)

...Yes? That is Magical Realism? The whole "aging in reverse" thing has been done in sci-fi like Hyperion, but at least there it's actual sci-fi. Benjamin Button is a fantasy film because it doesn't even attempt to explain its bizarre premise, among other things.

Lord of the Rings. In a trope about science fiction and being called, among other things, speculative fiction, which it fucking isn't.

Why is this here? If this were Horror Ghetto then it would work, but this is Sci-Fi Ghetto. Silence of the Lambs isn't Sci-Fi.
 
It seems like they wanted to include all the movies that don't normally get nominated for the big awards under the label and ended up going way overboard.Then again you do need to fill a page with something.Oddly enough i don't see any mention of Arrival on this page or Looper or Interstellar or Gravity.Whether you like them or not i think talking about how they didn't get big awards only Gravity got a best director would make more sense than including Black Swan or Silence of the Lambs.They really wanted to include all the types of movies that tend to get ignored in one form or another and forgot the genre they're supposed to talk about.

The description actually mentions fantasy as well. Why you'd call it "SCI-FI Ghetto" then is beyond my grasp.
