From the trope page for Against Me!, a punk band with a tranny lead singer.

It gets really hilarious when you look at the laconic version of that trope.

Clearly, whoever wrote this should be shamed for using outdated definitions of "male" and "female.";)

Bottom right is questionable, but it's a real common character style to have an attractive older character, especially for said attractive character to be a silvermane to indicate that they are, in fact, supposed to be in their fifties or so.

Then you add a character from Littlest Pet Shop and you lose all credibility.

We agree on that being completely idiotic, I just feel that this is the inevitable result of any of the attractiveness tropes, sometimes you get weirdos crushing on characters from kid shows more than they have a right to (though we also know a lot of kids probably got awkward boners from some of the hot 2D chicks they grew up watching)

I grew up watching Schneider sitcoms, and I can tell you that in those shows, the “nerd” characters, be they comic book fans, tech-savvy types, and everything in between, were consistently depicted as gangly poindexters whose misery was used as comedy whenever they were on screen. It’s autistic to hyper focus on that aspect to try to claim the shows are dated, but it was always a big thing.
Of course, none of that should distract from the fact that Dan Schneider was a creepy fat foot fetishist who liked to groom the teenage girls on the cast.

Coincidentally, an actress on his show "Victorious", Elizabeth Gillies just married Michael Corcoran, who is 20 years older than her and was helped produce many of Dan Schneider's shows. According to Twitter, although they "claim" they started dating when Liz was 21, there were images and videos of them being "friendly" with each other on set when she was just 17.

I wonder if Dan "Show your rear if you want a career" Schneider set them up or turned the blind eye to their relationship.

I actually love her work, specifically My Life as a Zuchinni and Girlhood, the Former is about kids but its about a foster kids living together and the trauma they all had from their previous broken homes.

Like that was my favorite film of the last decade, Girlhood being in my top 10

That some disturbing information there. Especially if your someone like me who use to watch the show.
 
From The Running Man's YMMV page

"I can't watch this schlocky 80's action film because one minor scene reminds me of current year politics!" It's also amazing how tropers can't think of anything beyond current year; apparently the George Floyd riots are the only riots to have ever happened.

Also, there's this lower on the page:

You have to be exceptionally autistic to get any sort of lesson from a film like this (just pure 80's cheese with the Ah-nold). Also that last sentence is pure irony, as that's all tropers have done for their entire lines.

Tropers gets religious epiphanies from shit like fucking Family Guy. It's legitimately SCARY.

The "Some Anvils Need to be Dropped" trope needs to be dropped itself. It produces nothing but completely autistic shit, even by TVT standards.
