They assign tropes to real world issues? Imagine if wikipedia editors were way less stable and had far less oversight. It's already possible to devastate a niche topic on wikipedia (that Scotch Language debacle) so I fear to look at how tvtropes determines fact from fiction.

Fighteer admitting that his site is filled with autistics and being ableist by sharing his worldviews. Nobody calls him out on this.

And the regulars are talking about the effects of autism in animals held in captivity via mutated genes.

Exhibit A on why I left the site.

I hate the WWP and RCP so fucking much.




I am a little more concerned with the RCP types who have always been involved in traditional left-wing but not overtly commie protests like those against both Iraq wars. They make themselves somewhat useful in organizing things like busing people there and back and ensuring the actual human transportation necessary for large scale protests goes well.

And then they inevitably hijack the proceedings for some kind of fundraising for terrorists like Hezbollah. I mean this shit happens every time. Obviously the solution is go there on your own dime or take their free ride and then cause a ruckus against their inevitable commie bullshit.

But this is always a thing in the rare protests these days that are actually against something worth protesting, like an unnecessary war. Notice how all the war protesting went away when Obama was President? Even though he started a few. I forgot, we don't call them wars now.

I believe the call it "peacekeeping operations", since nothing keeps the proletariat in line like UAVs armed with heat-seekers and mercenary "Private contractors" with M4 carbines.

They want to be him so bad it hurts. Doug and the former CA crew are living the dream, getting paid to act like experts on consoomer pop-culture while acting like idiots on the internet is the dream job of Tropers so much that some created their own spinoff site Manic Expression. They are such slaves to these Channel Awesome personalities that they will gladly sweep under the rug how all of them hate each other and pretend the mass exodus when it was revealed Doug was a lousy boss and Jew Wario was a pedo was amicable. Seriously take a look at Jew Warios page, and really take a look at the YMMV page
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis
Theres maybe two or three lines about him being a sexual predator who raped underaged girls at conventions while the rest is sucking his dick. Compare that to say Bill Cosbys page where an entire paragraph and several entries are about Cosby being a rapist. These people love Doug and his former crew so much they will gladly cover up awful sex crimes committed by its members because they think their degenerate pathetic lifestyles are worth living.

Seriously, I remember when they made a whole bunch of edits for The Matrix claiming that it has poorly aged and that it is overrated and all that, purely because of Doug Walker's review of it. Same goes for a lot of his videos actually.

Thats because the page is locked to only briefly mention that, since a fuck ton of people were editing the page to say how much of a "monster" he is.

There is one thing that i'm reasonably certain has happened.The post-9/11 era of moviemaking is over in the US.For 19 years movies in the US were under the shadow of 9/11.Sometimes it was so overt it was actually grating like in Man of steel othertimes it was more in the background but still there.Now with this pandemic which comes right when a new post-9/11 generation is reaching adulthood the post-9/11 movie is no longer 'relevant'.When you have NYC EMS who were at the Twin Towers say 'the pandemic was far worse than 9/11' then you know that 9/11 has been finally sent into the history books and its no longer something that is hanging over society.And culture will have to respond to that.Its almost fitting that Avengers Endgame came out in 2019 because in hindsight you can almost say it capped off the 9/11 era.

Intresting.

Its interesting we've enter a new period of trauma. 9/11 era has finally ended.

I think the "post-9/11" era ended earlier than that. Remember when Trump referred to the 9/11 attacks as "7/11" during the 2016 campaign? If a presidential candidate had made that goof in 2004, 2008, or 2012, they'd be tarred and feathered by the press and get buried on election day. But that didn't happen with Trump. Sure, he faced a lot of criticism, but it didn't stop him from winning the election.

"I think I might have an additional email, but I don't want to use it anymore because it's connected to my email and Dad gets all my emails." So they don't understand that they can just make a bullshit gmail account for a new site account but then say "back when I was 14" in a later comment. Is this really the level of technical competence in high schoolers today?
