Kannazuki no Miko / YMMV - TV Tropes

All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game": Most people who haven't seen the show already know it for the infamous rape of Himeko during episode 8. Even if they don't know that, people are well aware that Himeko and Chikane become romantically …

So according to TVTropes, if a cute-looking lesbian woman rapes her girlfriend for contrived plot bullshit and still gets her victim's love at the very end, it's a-okay because it was FOR THE GREATER GOOD and because LESBIANS ARE COOL.

I bet you that if the rapist girl's male and hetero "rival in love" had done EXACTLY the same shit to the girl they both pined after, the same "LGBT fans" praising her would scream "THIS IS CONVERSION THERAPY!!! HOW DARE THESE JPN WRITE THIS BULLSHIT!!! WAAAAAA!!!!". But hey, a lesbian did the rape so she "had her reasons".

I always keep thinking that TV Tropes is eventually going to make a "popular with autistic people" trope page.
Is this just me, or does anyone else here think the same way?
 
I find an even bigger goldmine at the Wayback Machine. This isn't an exhaustive list. There's a TON of content. Therefore, my posts shall be themed. Theme #1: creepy panty obsession

Creepers sperging about real life panty shots (scroll down to tales from the male POV for maximum creepiness)

"Innocent Panties", one of the creepiest "tropes" to ever exist.

And of course, the OG "Panty Shot" page with examples.

Hmm, that is borderline. It's weird as hell sperging, but it's not describing gross anatomical details, it's just thinking way too hard about a really inane topic. It has the potential to to turn gross and disturbing, but for now it's just painfully autistic.

Seems to be a running theme with all their contributions, and if they just want to quietly sperg about inane things, I'll let it ride so long as it stays out of the gutter.

Sad thing is, that page is still around, and every time it's used I die a little inside. Like, why are they still adding that shit onto pages?

They got rid of the examples on the main page because it was getting creepy. People still add it to individual work pages, though.
 
They had to wipe "Innocent Panties" completely. I read some of the archived page and actually felt sick. They cited episode titles and linked images. How creepy do you have to be to catalogue panty shots in the Punky Brewster cartoon?
 
Nope, not even vanity plates are safe from being horrible.
  • Boyd's Videos and Video Films, whose only known releases are The Mandarin Magician and Puma Man, used perhaps the most amateurish, incompetent vanity plate ever created. It's literally two slides on what appears to be an office projector kept up for way too long, separated by a pink screen, resulting in a logo which could have easily lasted 12 seconds taking almost a minute. Both slides are zoomed in way too far initially, forcing whoever created the logo to zoom out slowly and awkwardly, stopping constantly. The pink doesn't cover the whole screen, meaning you can see the slides being swapped, revealing that this was all done in one take. No wonder the Closing Logos Group called it "The Personification of All That is Truly Awful".
  • The logo for Argentine home video company Class Video forms very slowly, without too much movement and emotion being added into it. The logomark comes together so slowly (like one minute slowly) that the Closing Logos Group said even fast-forwarding it makes the wait still completely exhausting. Add the magic of some dated computer animation and poorly-added music that isn't clearly audible most of the time (possibly due to auto-tracking), and the result is one of the worst Argentine home video logos ever made, or even the worst home video logo ever made period.
  • As you can probably tell from two Argentine logos being featured successively, Argentina has a dreadful track record when it comes to home video logos, but the logo Enterprise Producciones used takes the cake. It's literally another logo, that of Prism Entertainment, except it's cheaply paused near the end for Enterprise Producciones' logo to be animated with very cheap computer animation, all while the (now awkwardly-repeated) music from the original logo plays. It's such an absurdly blatant theft that it defies intelligent description. The Closing Logos Group unfavourably compared it to the logo Pioneer Films used for Manila Boy.
  • An Indian movie company called FADYO (short for "Film and Drama Youth Organization") used this rather cheap vanity plate that depicts a globe spinning in space... which is quite blatantly stolen from Universal's 1990-97 logo. The logo also steals music from The Beatles and uses it as its background music. And all that without even mentioning that the logo itself is so horrendous in quality that it looks less like an opening logo and more like a GIF. The Closing Logos Group gave it the nickname "What Happens When Money and Ideas are Not Abundant".
  • The vanity plate for the Portuguese VHS company The Video Bancorp is literally an off-screen photo of the logo, as drawn on a paint program, complete with the '90s CRT computer monitor bulge and the program's interface clearly visible on the sides. Needless to say, the Closing Logos Group didn't give it the nicknames "The Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing of Logos" and "Boyd's Video's Worse and More Obscure Cousin" for nothing. note Interestingly, due to the design of the logo, the Closing Logos Group originally misinterpreted the "thanks you for using our product" part of the logo as a grammatically incorrect sentence due to the use of "thanks you".
  • Like Argentina, Greece has many very bad home video logos (most of them relying on character generator effects/Scanimation and stolen music), but the logos of Photo Videoare both trainwrecks, even for the standard:
    • The first logo literally has no order, and mostly consists of random doodling, giving the impression that the people who made it were extremely bored due to a lack of ideas. The trailing effects are a complete eyesore, and when the logo is still it looks like the title screen for an Atari game. The fireworks are also unnecessary, the animation is very primitive, apparently done on an old computer like the Apple ][ and looks more like a twisted arcade game than anything else, and the logo shows up possibly hundreds of times accounting for the weird trailing segments. The music is also stolen, being a very bad quality excerpt of "Equinoxe, Pt. 5" by Jean-Michel Jarre.
    • The second one actually manages to be even worse than the previous logo. The logo is extremely dated for 1993, the animation is still heavily pixelated, almost looking like something out of an Atari ST game, the fonts are very cheap, an extremely clear jumpcut happens between the black background and space background, the backing away from the background is extremely slow, lasting 20 seconds (moving back once every second) when it could have been much quicker, the logo is pasted on top of the space background, and the harbor footage is cropped incorrectly, looking out of shape and severely wavy on the sides, possibly due to generation loss or tape deterioration. The only redeeming quality is that "Equinoxe, Pt. 5" sounds a lot better. The Closing Logos Group unsurprisingly compared it to the aforementioned FADYO logo and gave it the nicknames "Poke a Hole Through the Barrel!" and "Beat That, Argentina!"
  • Greek company Carrey Video's logo is almost as horrible and unprofessional as the aforementioned Photo Video ones. First off, the logomark, text, and animation have been stolen from another logo, specifically that of the similarly-named British distributor Carey Home Video. It looks like they put their effort more into the (still cheap) music than the animation, though they did a rather poor job of getting rid of the original music as you can still hear it. The text "Carrey Video" is also cheaply overlaid via a character generator and not centered well with the logomark, and it fades out faster than the C.
  • Similar to Argentina and Greece, South Korea is infamous for having bad home video logos in the logo community, and the Home Game logo proves why. It steals a Showtime "It's Showtime" bumper (seen here) and blatantly uses a picture of Pac-Man to try to cover the blue ball, which fails because the picture has an awkward flight path and movement (it just changes place every half-second, and when it zooms out of sight the logo looks even worse). At the end it shows the Pac-Man picture with a green tint and the text "HOME GAME", which stays onscreen for a few seconds only to pixelate, spread out, and crunch up in favor of a Korean version of the text instead, while there was room for both.
  • The aforementioned Pioneer Films logo has exactly the same animation as the 1987 Motion Picture Corporation of America logo (only the text is different), and while it isn't as bad as the Enterprise logo (which stole the music as well as the animation), it still is very unoriginal (you can still see the TM symbol next to the logo).
  • Golumbia Video's logo definitely qualifies. Despite being created in 2010, the animation looks like it was done in the 90's with Flash and the quality (both audio and video) seems like it's from a VHS, which died as a commercial format in 2007.
  • There exists a rare variant of the Walt Disney Home Video logo that looks like a placeholder that accidentally made it onto a finished tape. There's no animation of any sort, and it doesn't even use the corporate logo, instead using a boring generic font. Not only that, it appears to be ripped off from a similar theatrical logo for sister company Walt Disney Pictures which is widely considered the superior logo despite having all of the aforementioned flaws plus only using the opening themes, if that, of the motion pictures it preceded for its music (it helps that that logo appeared mainly, if not exclusively, on the label's Darker and Edgier fare). While not as bad as other logos on this list, why this was used when they could have used the then-current normal logo, which uses the same music, is a Riddle for the Ages, and the Closing Logos Group was baffled that Disney ever used this for actual releases.
  • ArtsMagic's first logo was created in 1996 and used until 2002. You wouldn't know that from looking at it, though; it looks worse than the cheapest, shittiest pre-cert logos (that aren't Boyd's Videos and Video Films). It's pretty much twinkling as dust that turns into the logo ascends, with a bizarre sustained baritone note as the dust turns into the logo - a badly-drawn jester on a strange playing card - and a blue background appears. The Closing Logos Group decribed this as inexcusable and more reminiscent of something from the 70s than 1996.
  • As mentioned, many Greek home video logos are generally cheap/low-quality, but even by those standards Aligator Video Enterprises is a bad case. It amounts to the company name appearing word-by-word on a generic space background via trail effect. The words are badly centered on the screen and the overall aesthetic looks uninspired, not to mention the music is stolen from the early-80s PolyGram Video logo repeated twice, and it misspells "alligator" too. The Closing Logos Group was not impressed, for obvious reasons.
  • What happens when the composer either doesn't realise the logo they're composing for, already too long at the intended speed, was clearly rendered at the wrong speed and is so astronomically slow you could verbally count the frames per second, or does realise that but is maliciously complying with a Pointy-Haired Boss who doesn't? You get the logo used by Selena Studios, a 2 minute and 23 second 4 FPS slideshow of nothing. It's so long that Lazy Game Reviews - who uploaded the capture of the logo and reviewed the edutainment games it came from - reported that the screensaver triggered during the logo. And nothing even warrants it being that long - initial animation that lasts 45 seconds, followed by the world's slowest shooting star a minute in, then nothing for the last minute, as if it was meant to be, at most, 40 seconds long but was, as mentioned before, rendered at the wrong speed. Even more bafflingly, the music is actually 2 minutes and 23 seconds long, which means at least one person actually saw the animation and thought "this is acceptable to put in a commercially-sold product".

OH MY GOD, WHO THE HELL CARES
 
Nobody cares about React in 2019, except for Tropers, apparently. And somehow tens of thousands of others (since React videos make the trending page on a regular basis).
