How the fuck is this loser a big name? He's some literally who cuck lolcow.

Because from a few years back to now and with the advent of Discord and Reddit, a bunch of fucking morons took the anime community over and they're very similar to this Geoff guy. You gotta face it, Anime's mainstream now.

Once again, TV Tropes Users love Warren while hating anything Trump or GOP related"


"Warren has been everywhere on coronavirus response. Biden yesterday praised her plan to immediately cancel $10,000 of student debt as part of the stimulus and boost social security checks by $200 a month and used her phrasing of “slush fund” to slam the Senate GOP’s plan. Sanders ally Congressman Ro Khanna also praised her response and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is backing some of her bailout conditions.

Warren was on NPR, MSNBC and Bloomberg News this morning to explain her vote against the GOP stimulus package and demand a grassroots stimulus package.

Data for Progress finds her bailout conditions have broad popular support:

- maintain payroll
- $15/hr wage
- follow law
- collective bargaining
- no stock buybacks
- no executive bonuses
- workers on boards
- shareholder oversight of lobbying

I’m proud of the work she’s doing during this crisis."

"I meant that it's what she's good at. She's at her best when she's targeting problems with the precision of a surgeon and the ferocity of a rabid wolverine. It's why I keep suggesting her for attorney general. "

"Both Warren and Bernie have been going nonstop to help the people with proper laws that aid the people and fundraising for charities, both things we need right now. I'm hoping this helps the American people understand that we need social programs to help everybody, because as it stands right now, we were woefully unprepared (thanks to Trump and the GOP) and currently don't seem to have the supplies for something like this."

As for their thoughts on Trump and why his proposed stimulus was vetoed against?


"The bill was going to give a massive bailout to corporations while not actually helping the poor people who are likely to end up homeless or in debt (if not outright dead) because of this pandemic."

"The bill also included a 500 billion slush fund that Trump can use as he sees fit and not have to disclose whom he gave the money to for 6 months.."

"No, if this was the bill I heard about, the dems blocked it because of what above poster said, because it does not provide actual aid for people who need it. It's basically another tax cut style bill, in other words: promises of aid, but the actual money flows to the rich."

"'Trump is aiming to end the coronavirus measures soon so the economy can start growing again (not realistic, but that's his rhetoric). Presumably the goal is to force the news cycle to move on and secure his election chances.

This must be Trump's worst nightmare: a news cycle he cannot control and cannot distract from, and that will not simply go away on it's own or twittered away.

Trump's policy is driven by Fox News, not by any desperation or strategy or even thought. And Fox News then parrots it right back at him. It's a terrible feedback loop of wild ideas and misinformation.

The thing is, Trump is largely an empty vessel, with few actual convictions, and will adhere to any opinion that benefits him the most. He simply agrees with whoever convinced him last. He is, effectively, a nihilist president."

Can I just say how much I want to scream in anger every single time I listen to Tropers talk politics?

We should make a game of this. Open up to the front page of TV tropes, if there is a stupid trope, take a drink.

Being called a faggot scares you? If you're that triggered by homophobia you probably shouldn't be playing a gruesome murder mystery set in a second world country considering all the problematic attitudes you're going to encounter in Revanchol (and Disco Elysium does hype itself up to be real about the world and the person you can be).
It is incredibly fucking weird that "faggot" seems to be the only word that gets censored in all the stuff I've seen in that game. Everything is super crude and sleazy and racist, but that one word is apparently a bridge too far for the developers. It's very jarring.

Probably the game was designed by a bunch of faggots.
 
It's nice seeing that troper's political choices boil down to "She isn't Trump", "She has a vagina", and "She put stuff I like in a bill about stopping a worldwide pandemic". Leave your shitty pet causes at the door because this is serious shit going down.
 
Yet more fun from Tropers attempting to do politics (especially in regards to Biden being accused of sexual harassment):


"This isn't the same as Trump's accusers where he flat out attacked several women, raped one in a clothing store, raped his wife and seized multiple others by the privates, and forcibly kisses others. "

"Brace yourself for Trump to jump on this and milk it for all its worth. This is exactly the sort of distraction he's been waiting for, no doubt. Anything to move the news cycle onward from the virus and economic crisis unfolding."

Also of the recent relief bill:

"Republicans have strong principles in people being forced to suffer, even when it's politically advantageous to them to do otherwise.

Right now, people are terrified and this is likely the best deal they could get. Democrats aren't about to play chicken with something this vital. I'd have preferred Pelosi's House bill (AN: yes, this person did say that), but we're not getting near of what we wish with the Republicans having the Senate."

"The people who really need that money won't actually get it, though, at least not nearly enough of it; that's what has people disappointed. "

Also in regards to the coronavirus:

"Speaking of coronavirus, several pages ago people were talking about red states leaning back as coronavirus overruns the urban states. Well, it looks like COVID-19 is quickly spreading there, to the point that coronavirus cases in Trump states could exceed the number of cases in Clinton states by the day before Easter." (AN: gotta through in a jab at Trump there somehow).

Man, I can't even with these idiots. They only believe that anything left-leaning is good, and anything else is morally reprehensible. That, and they worship the grounds of people like Pelosi and Warren for reasons I can't fathom.

TL;DR. Tropers are literal babies when it comes to politics.

Puke it up because that's not an example.
Yeah the whole cartoon is fucked. There was once a thinly veiled border control episode, and another one that used scorpions as a metaphor for guns. Also nazi dolphins, someone must be a bogleech reader.

Oh god, I haven’t seen that cartoon in ages, but the way you summed it up, made feel even weirder looking back.
Also while we’re at I remember seeing screwed up fanfic about King Julian being Trans!
 
Seriously, why in the world do the Tropers adore the likes of Pelosi and Warren, given their recent track record? (I can't exactly ask them, lest I get verbally lynched.)
Best guess I got is that Tropers are staunch DNC supporters. That and they absorb media like sponges because that's pretty much in the site's name- TVTropes.
 
Speaking of which, Tropers here are bashing the Trump supporters in the Coronavirus thread:


"
I find it morbidly funny that, “USA! USA! USA!” Is currently trending on twitter right now. (Granted, it’s sarcastic)

Congratulations WE ARE NUMBER ONE! USA USA USA USA! [1]
“We’re doing great! Everything is good. We are number one in the world in Coronavirussing!” USA USA USA [2]
school shootings are down, flu deaths are down, healthcare bankruptcies are down, and traffic is better cause everyone died of coronavirus. USA! USA! USA! [3]
So I hear the US is number 3 for coronavirus cases globally? This is UNACCEPTABLE! US should be #1 🥇😎🇺🇲🦅🎇. USA USA USA"

"This also made me chuckle.

WE'RE NUMBER ONE!!!! We overtook Iran and Spain a week ago, and now have passed China. If we keep going out, following Trump's instructions, we'll be able to stay close to doubling infections every 2 days. Unfortunately we'll run out of Americans to infect by late April. [1]
@realDonaldTrump "Tremendous" numbers! You did it! You made America great again! We are in the lead! #1 #Coronavirus Oubreak cases! WE'RE NUMBER ONE. 👏 [2]
Are we great again yet."

"Prediction 1: As the infection and death rate in the US rises there will be an attempt by the Trump administration to hide the numbers.
Prediction 2: Alternatively, even if the numbers are coming from his own government he will call, and by "call" I mean "scream hysterically" that it's "FAKE NEWS!" And his followers will believe it
Prediction 3: Now that I think of it the first two predictions are not mutually exclusive."

"Trump can't fake the numbers. The states and media are already publishing them faster than the CDC can."

"He can still call everything fake news forever though. That's his superpower."

By the way, note how they imply that the supporters of Trump who disbelieve the media to be dumb morons who will be the first to die. Talk about sitting on a high horse, as if believing everything the media says somehow makes one more intelligent.
