Apparently the only kind of serial killer that 'works' for them is a 100% straight white guy who probably wears a MAGA hat.

Buffalo Bill is a lot creepier now that there are so many actual trooned out Buffalo Bill wannabes on social media.
 
Jesus Christ, I'm away from this thread for a couple of days, only to find out that tropers are still managing to get even worse. It's like they're trying to be apply their "flanderization" trope to themselves.

It has everything I thought it would have in it! You're a saint!

You forgot about the Magic Adventures of Mumfie sperging. There’s at least one or two tropers who like sticking it where it doesn’t belong.

Actually, Disney Junior and PBS Kids shows are more common than whatever show you're talking about. The worst offender is Barney and Friends (which has 560 mentions compared to Mumfie's 197-yes, there's actually a way to check).
Oh, and it's not a preschool show, but I also see this obscure cartoon shoehorned everywhere. Not only does this show have as many subpages as a movie or TV show that is actually popular, it's mentioned a whopping 1,370 times.

OK... what is with the Fate/whatever serieses? That another one of those japanese word salad show/series/movies/games?

It's like... Fate/Stay night. What the fuck does that even mean?
Fate/Zero. Ok, it's a better title than the previous, but still, why?
And there are at least 2 or 3 more.

When translating japanese titles, is it that the japanese are prone to naming things really fucking stupid shit, or are the translators the ones that are dumb fucks?

So I decided to rewatch Silence of the Lambs (still holds up pretty well), and I thought to go to the YMMV page for the work, because I had a feeling they'd have a problem with it.

Guess what? I'm right.

what the fuck is this person even talking about, the ICE Shit?

I noticed the progressives really hate Buffalo Bill and Norman Bates because of that. To them a male murderer dressing as a woman is automatically transphobic, regardless of the context.

Titles like that sound cool to the japanese. I don't follow the Fate series closely and don't really like them, so don't quote me on this, but I think the names in this case usually don't even have a deeper meaning.

TheMisterSonic: Before Sonic Forces was out, I was like "Oh, man! Chaos is back from the first game I ever played! I have so many theories about why he's teaming up with Eggman and what he's to do for the story!" Classic Sonic defeats him in one hit. In a cutscene. Four minutes in. And it's not even the real Chaos. And Tails, who did, or at least was able to take out Chaos 4, cowers in fear of his most basic form. You never get to fight him.I wish I could sue for false advertising. I have a ton of other problems with the game, and I'm usually pretty forgiving with the series, but this is unacceptable.
  • Dr Zulu 2010: Heck, just the reveal that Chaos, Zavok, Metal Sonic and Shadow were clones created by the Phantom Ruby and there is a whole lot of them is pretty insulting; Sonic Team has reunited quite a reunion of villains, for the 25th anniversary game nonetheless, and they weren't even the real deal and that came from someone who is pretty lenient in game quality overall (to the point that niche games with a metascore of 60 are considered playable).
  • Supreme-X15: I have issues with Infinite's backstory. I had the impression that Infinite was a mysterious entity and a dangerous villain, and his epic Villain Song implied as such. However, Episode Shadow reveals that he was once normal and had no powers. He called himself the Ultimate Mercenary who led a group of mercenaries aligned with Eggman, and they were easily defeated by Shadow, who also handed his cocky ass right back to him, calling him weak in the process. This lead to the "Ultimate Mercenary" throwing a tantrum, going insane, discarding his original self, and becoming Infinite with the power of the Phantom Ruby. Holy hell, I was so disappointed with this backstory. In the main game, he's meant to be the most dangerous and threatening villain Sonic and friends have faced, but he comes off an egomaniac and sadistic bully, especially to the Avatar. His boss fights are almost pitifully easy, and he's Upstaged by Eggman at the climax of the game, disappearing without a trace. I would love his character more if it wasn't for his backstory being so petty, his inflated ego being so fragile, making costly mistakes during the game's run, and being written out entirely by the end of the game. Sonic villains have always been entertaining, in one way, or another, but Infinite just generates less favorable feelings for me. Boring personality, and weak backstory, thy name is Infinite. At least I can still enjoy his theme song.
  • SenorCornholio: For me, it has to be the third-to-last level, Iron Fortress. To recap, you just stopped Infinite's illusion of the sun falling onto everyone, and you and Modern Sonic defeated him for the third and final time. Now you're ready to take down Eggman and save the world. Sooooo...how do we ruin that? It's quite simple, really; just follow these simple steps and you, too, can make a terrible climactic stage! Step 1: make it a Classic Sonic stage. I already mentioned in my last entry how badly Classic Sonic plays, and it's no exception here. But long story short: he drops like a rock, his controls are awkward, and he has no plot relevance otherwise. Step 2: put incredibly unfitting music in this stage. The background music is cheery beyond belief despite the fact that the war is entering its final stages. Whoever made this music was clearly not informed where it should go. Step 3: there's a random Auto-Scrolling Section at the halfway point of the stage. There's been auto-scrolling before, but using Classic Sonic's completely backwards controls just makes it even more difficult to deal with. If you're still not accustomed to this control scheme, be prepared to die. A lot. Step 4: combine this with the stage's main gimmick. Throughout the level are rotating wheels that launch Sonic if he Spin Dashes. Because you're auto-scrolling, you have barely any time to use them before you're pushed off the wheels and sent careening to your death. Bottom line: this stage sucks on both the gameplay and story fronts, and even though I accepted everything the game had to offer, for better or for worse, this was easily the game's biggest sin. I was right, Christian Whitehead should just take the reins on Classic Sonic for the foreseeable future.

That's a pretty long-winded way of saying "this game sucks." And unlike other critical stuff about Forces, they care more about the lore of Sonic than things like "this game is boring and too easy."
 
Some people really need to conceal their perversion a little better:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki....5AllianceOfVengeance?from=Characters.Disgaea5

From the description of the character Seraphina:

Impossibly-Low Neckline: Her top is not so much a shirt as a boob shelf with some strategically placed lace. Depending on the angle, her nipples should already be showing, and there's no way she should be able to be lifted and thrown around a battlefield without her boobs popping out.

I'm quite sure there is an easier and less perverse way to get this point across without letting the fact you were drooling as you wrote the description show.

More social justice crap.Apparently a movie about russian spies needs to be 'woke' in order to work because as wel all know the SVR treats its trainees with the most progressive of methods and wouldn't ever dream of acting in a brutal exploitative way.The only services that are not PC in any way in any country are the secret services pretty much by default so complaining about a spy story being kind of 'non-PC' is like complaining that army snipers shoot people.Makes me wonder what would happen if someone decided to do a 'woke' version of Bond???
