https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/YMMV/TheFortyYearOldVirgin?from=YMMV.The40YearOldVirgin Some interesting values dissonance.Apparently in the 2010's if you're a 40 year old virgin your coworkers will not be in any way weirded out by it.The taboo of the adult virgin is largely gone???I have no idea where tropers work for them to make such a statement.Also putting a porn movie on a tv screen is sexual harrasment in the 2010's?I get the idea of getting fired for unprofessional conduct at work but sexual harrasment of who??I think tropers don't really know what sexual harrasment means.

You forgot the scene with the tranny hooker. But I think it might qualify as harassment if you're locked into a room and being forced to listen to the fake moaning.

And I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't talk about the girl who was unaware that her tit was falling out of her shirt.
 
I'm wondering which TV Tropes regime is worse? Fast Eddie or Fighteer?

Both are authoritarian assholes with insane levels of unwarranted self-importance, but I'm wondering which one was worse for TV Tropes?

Fast Eddie was a disgusting authoritarian who covered up a lot of shit until CrazyGoggs and PVCC entered the scene forced Eddie to go into full censorship mode. But overall, Fighteer seems more aggressively SJW and bullheaded.

Some of the cuts that Fast Eddie made were reasonable, like Kodomo No Jikan or Boku No Pico, but others were just ridiculous like Lolita and Caligula due to the former being an actual legit literary classic that is required reading in certain advanced college courses (particularly forensic psychology) while the other one is notable in the history of film due to essentially being an exploitation film with the big budget of a mainline Hollywood epic, and was enough of a flop that it helped end the New Hollywood auteur period (along with the flop of Heaven's Gate the very next year)

I would even argue that Urotsukidoji may have had a chance of passing muster (at least the first film) due to its impact on early anime fan culture (and even early internet culture to a lesser extent) and for being one of the last films released on what was the last of the grindhouse circuit as well as its meme status in the 1990's convention scene.

They're both assholes, but since Fighteer regularly participates on the forums... It's an biased mod versus a paranoid admin, the answer is kind of obvious.
 
What the fuckkkk.... https://allthetropes.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog/Radar

  1. ↑ Think about what the "eye" would be, and the rest becomes clear. Also, note that while Bunnie's abdomen is organic, her crotch is roboticized. Anyone with a half-decent knowledge of anatomy, especially female anatomy, should be able to see where this is going. To put it lightly, the Archie Comics claim that Bunnie is infertile (at least until her complete de-robotization in recent issues), and one can assume that she's less than pleased with this... which puts the above-mentioned "one-eyed snake" comment in a whole new light: Bunnie's got a case of Sour Grapes over the fact that her vagina, if it still exists, can't accept a penis or semen anymore.

Mother of God, that's some disturbing shit.

That page only shows the Dai-Guard import bot on the history, meaning some sick fuck on TV Tropes wrote that shit pre-2012.

I'm gonna go blowtorch that off the page, thanks for bringing it up.
 
Their hilarious in hindsight trope is weird.Its not uncommon to read on it how two actors who starred previously in some movie decades earlier are now working together in some newer movie.Anyone who is even vaguely good at probability will know that a prolific actor will work over decades with many other actors.The Hollywood elite meaning the actors that appear quite often in movies is not that big.Odds are high that an actor with a career streching back 30 years will have worked at some point with almost everyone else who is reasonably famous.One example is https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/YMMV/WallStreet.Michael Douglas and James Spader have been in movies for decades apparently the fact that they joined the MCU is hilarious????Tropers seem to be pretty bad at math since odds are 70% of all actors with at least some name recognition have been in some superhero movie in the past 20 years.

Did Ken Penders wrote this?!
 
  • The 2010 article The Evolution of Fictional Characters mocked the Hotter and Sexier approach to female characters prevalent in the mid 2000s and very early 2010s that just amounted to objectification. The mid 2010s however have seen a Tamer and Chaster approach to female characters that emphasizes their deeds and actions instead of their bodies, effectively returning to the unsexualized character depicted in the first frame.
