In terms of users who go to the forums, who are the most lul-worthy lolcows on there?

Animeking1108 because he's literally traumatized by Persona 4 and spergs out about how he wants a little girl character from that to die.

Also one of the most worryingly positive articles I have ever read.

Considering how many tropers are oddly vocal about their fetishes, I’m not surprised.

Ayup. The fat dude with the creepy foot fetish and who's rumored to have molested Amanda Byrnes, Jeannette McCurdy and others. (iirc he's said to be the dad of Jamie Lyn Spears' kid)

And for SOME REASON TVT is very hush hush about all this.

I never get tired of posting a link to his lulzy troper page every time he's mentioned here.

Can't disagree.

Troping wikis merely try to break a story down to lego blocks to fit together, and any narrative that is well written is certainly going to be more than that. Sure, the troping wiki description gives you the general shape of the story, but it doesn't cover the subtle parts, like how the story arrived in the shape it was made in.

You know, there's something about this trope and some of the examples given that just rubs me the wrong way:

Glurge - TV Tropes

Glurge is a catch-all term for any "inspirational" tale which conceals a much darker meaning than the uplifting moral lessons it purports to offer. The word "glurge" was initially coined by a reader of Snopes.com and derives from the sound of …

tvtropes.org

I especially love how it describes the (admittedly cheesy and low quality) Hallmark Channel films. Don't get me wrong, I dislike them too, but this just comes across as a rather.......off reason for not liking them:

"The Hallmark Channel has made a small industry out of Glurge-filled made-for-TV movies, known as A Hallmark Presentation. Most often these films are about someone who is overwhelmed with working in the big city, and are forced to live in a small town, which they end up finding more satisfying than their past life. Usually a ridiculously hot love interest drops right into their laps to help the process along, along with a few quirky but bland small town friends. The only real obstacles the protagonist has to overcome are getting off on the wrong foot with the love interest, or some petty rival, which in real life could be fixed by talking to the love interest like an adult and ignoring the rival. Everyone is just sort of cutesy and non-threatening overall. If the main character is a woman the movie will emphasize that starting a family is more fulfilling than having a job. Then December rolls around and Hallmark replaces their normal movies with special Christmas ones, which are the same except the overworked person is so overworked that they don't know the true meaning of Christmas, which they learn by moving to the small town and experiencing a little Christmas magic "

All of the examples are just bitching about how AWFUL and EVIL white people and Christians are

Disagree on the CinemaSins (they're a joke, and they know it), but agree with everything else. Tropes are just the building blocks, but without understanding the music between the notes it's kinda useless.

They're denigrating the idea of family life and suggesting that women don't want to become wives and mothers and live in safe, homogeneous communities.

There's a tendency even among a lot of the site's user to conflate tropes with cliches. This is in spite of the fact that the wiki has an articlke called Tropes are Tools. Tropes are not ineherently good or bad it all depends on how they're executed

 

[iafiv]

I always found it funny how many bitch about Cinemasins ignoring the whole they're not taking themselves seriously its 50% serious 50% a joke.But so often they ignore how Doug Walker did in retrospect a disservice to the idea of internet movie reviews through his style which isn't really good for the community.Its not the fault of the Cinemasins guys that they got popular.

Note how many of these entries involve just pointing out past films that had "strong female characters" and things that they see has liberal leaning:

Values Resonance - TV Tropes

Some moral values just don't travel well. The attitudes of our society have changed, or the issue they addressed has become obsolete. But others—like a good wine or fine cheeses—only get better with age. Years after the original …

Hahahahaha, I like they call the translator a “bigot” because he had “ResetERA is cancer” in his bio. God these tropers are morons.

Just to ask has their been any discussion over this in the hellscape known as the forums

speaking of forums, someone apparently posted a critique of the pwecious Innuendo Studios in the thread dedicated to him.

Unfortunately though the post was thumped by the time I saw it. Would anyone else happen to have it screencapped?

Their are users who aren't entirely on board with PC culture. Problem is outside of @LightDragonman1 I don't know where to find them outside the site (Though I do think one of them might either be on Mauler's discord or subreddit since he or she frequently edits Mauler's trope page.)
