A lot of the faggots there also adore not just Channel Awesome but Mr. Enter, and considering the past of how there are pedophile mods at TV Tropes, that's already checked off.

Tbh it was actually better even five years ago when the worst going on there was constant sperging about ponies and Mr. Enter and horrible fanfics and shit like that. Now it's woke too which makes absolutely anything worse.

The second is the use of absolutely horrid names for tropes that reflect the failure to be not just intellectually inclined but also mature and as "understanding" they swear to be, existence as snarky two faced smug nerd asshole losers notwithstanding. Magibabble and Technobabble are the worst offenders. It's like it was made by some smarmy faggot who thinks "it's just entertainment man" about people who fawn on about well made fictional worlds but jerks off to shit like Death Battle and top ten lists like a pop culture hipster faggot "nerd".

Never seen "Magibabble" outside TV Tropes, but technobabble I'm pretty sure is an old-ass term, at least a few decades old. I could've sworn it came from Star Trek where the writers would write "add technobabble" in the script to later be edited with something appropriate. And I don't know what else you'd call a trope like that. It's just there for fluff 99% of the time and has no bearing on the plot of the episode (since we rarely need to know the inner workings of a dilithium crystal or whatever).

The real offenders were the weeb-named tropes. Remember "Nakama" and shit like that? Or more on your point the "You Fail X Forever", now "Authorial License: X". It reads like "lol look how smart I am lol".

They technically still have at least one weeb-named trope, and it's about one of the creepiest shit to come out of Japan.

Moe - TV Tropes

Coined in Japan in the late '90s, "Moe" (萌え, pronounced as "Mo-Eh", derived from a Japanese word that means "budding, to sprout/bloom")note 燃え, also pronounced "moe", is a different word meaning "to burn" or " …
tvtropes.org tvtropes.org
Some highlights:

they call the idea of people rightfully considering moe to be a sexual thing a "fandom enraging misconception", yet still calls the female cast of the Wind Waker (most of which are clearly underage) an "unwanted harem" (their exact words)

They Label any character that could even remotely be considered cute, even if it has ZERO ties to anime or japan (like Tweety Bird and Rocky the Flying Squirrel), as moe

They think Solid Snake is a moe character. I seriously cannot make this up.

they consider the ENTIRE CAST of Steven Universe moe
 
The worst extant weeb-named trope is Mega Neko, which means "unnaturally huge house cat". There is no reason to give this "trope" a weeb name except some troper thought he was smart in making a pun with Meganekko (bespectacled girl as an object of sexual lust, i.e. Moe).

I kinda agree with the Lucky Star one, tbh. Although in my decade of interneting I've never seen anybody call the girls 'Lucky Stars', lmao.
