I just remembered this little nugget from a year+ back. Note the filename.

EDIT: Decided to make it a thumbnail since even the thought of an accidental glance of its contents is enough to give me brain cancer.

@GethN7 Look man, I keep trying to use your site, but... the search function fucking sucks. So bad.

On TVTropes, I type in "Beyond Belief", I get this:

On AllTheTropes, I type in the same thing, I get this:

Same thing if I search for Johnathan Frakes.

Same thing for "star trek"

Now interestingly, if I typed some of those things into the top right search bar, it would work. Just typing "Star Trek" into the top right bar came up with the correct page. But this "Search results" search bar seemingly just doesn't work at all, and the other search clearly has some problems.

Search is messed up all over Miraheze.

They are trying to replace our spitballs and twine search engine with a newer, faster one, but they have to regenerate the search tables for the entire wiki farm, not just us.

Until then we're SOL.

Ugh that sucks.

I'm trying to support local content farmers but damn dude there's bugs in the lettuce and your tomatoes are all rotten.
Got any idea as to timeframe when that might start to work right again?
 
Its kind of funny how tropers complain that the old style Bond doesn't work today considering how the real world of espionage doesn't care about niceties.All it takes is to read up on how the FBI for example uses quite questionable at times means of making someone confess to something.So complaining that Bond is not woke enough goes against the real world of espionage and subversion which is all about not doing stuff that is morally acceptable.
I think the real problem that tropers have with Bond is his promiscuity.While they don't say it 100% like that they hate seeing a guy have a lot of sex and then move on to the next girl.SJWs in fact are obsessed with cultural depictions of stuff in which someone is not called out on their alleged bad behaviour or even better punished.They think that because someone is not reprimanded that automatically will make audiences think its ok to do this or that.Which only makes sense if you assume the audiences education comes 100% from pop culture and nothing else.Heck the fact that SJW get angry about 'bad' cultural depictions kind of tells you that the theory of 'if people see it as ok then they'll think its ok' has some holes in it.Still SJW have an obsession with characters being punished for their bad behaviour they have a very old style catholic church type thinking,I wonder how many were at least initially raised catholic?

Or if you're an autist who, like most others, doesn't understand that the audience does not think the way you do. If the top picture in your brain of a man doing bad thing X has non-consequence Y, that is the state of your universe and so every person in a similar situation will now do X. Let the cognitive dissonance and screeching commence!

In terms of cognitive functions, you get *NFJs projecting their racism, misogyny, etc. onto the social environment around them and deciding to control what's best for others to do (or have done to them!) to hide from their own guilt. If the Bad Guys aren't punished, then their atonement (self-work or self-wank?) was for nothing! *NFPs are just as bad for listening to them and thinking up more ways that other people might engage in wrongthink that needs to be punished.

Once the new norms become ensconced as cultural values in tradition/dogma, the *SF*s will do their level best to enforce them or rebel against them (There's no shortage of Roman Catholics who've given up the Church for Lent). etc., etc.


But that's just my take on the matter, so YMMV. It probably belongs with "If the entries for Whateley Academy look sane by comparison, you're going to need brain bleach and/or Mucho Vodka if you keep on reading."

You're probably right. I forgot how SJWism has creeped into the site rather hard of late, so it's probably not going to last much longer, if it hasn't already been in decline already.

It's had a pretty hard feminist slant as far back as I can remember, and I first browsed it back in 2009. Their "Double Standards" page specifically made it about the wimminz. Funnily enough, this was the image at the time:
