Gotta admit I still visit TV Tropes once in a while, usually after watching a movie, or reading a book.
Easily their worst takes are in the Real World sections. On one hand, they write viciously about the crimes commited by Hitler, Pinochet and the fair share of US presidents, while they gloss over fucking Mao Zedong, Stalin and other murderous lefty figures like Che Guevara.

They consider Mao and Che to be socialist chic.

Okay so did anyone bring up Whateley Academy or Survival of the Fittest in this thread? Two series that are autisticaly put into almost half the topics in the site?

Dare I even ask about these?

Whateley Academy:Just look how big this page is. This one follows TG super beings in a highschool.
Survival of the Fittest:And the other one. This one is about teens in a Battle Royal style island.
And yet, these two stories, have basically no impact on the greater internetosphere.

Oh I knew about Whateley Academy it was shoved everywhere and I don't know shit about it, only assuming it's some Joss Whedon-esque nerdy crap that tropers would eat up.

It's really more like a shitty early-2000s webcomic. It's Sonichu written by someone slightly less autistic than Chris. I'm surprised I'd never heard of it before either, but it's tied to a lot of tropes other fetish webcomics use, so it might be influential.

It's not. I've literally never seen it referenced anywhere outside TV Tropes, and I was a reddit user for years (which is a site full of the same kind of commie pervert types). It's so not notable it doesn't even have a Wikipedia article, and they have an article on My Immortal.

I think what happened is that whoever wrote that stuff just put it all over the site, and no one else really noticed or cared.

If you want some dirt on that series, I'm all here to speak of it.

What's the story? Is it entertaining?

Okay so its follows a neutral X-Men type of school,specifically a certain section of the school where the characters undergo sex changes during their mutation. Generally it depends on which author is the one writing the story, but most of the series is average-subpar.

Given the troons it makes sense it's on the site, but do you know why it's mentioned so much?

A few reasons,mostly from my own deduction:
The stories have a Whedon-esque charm. It's been going on(Whateley) since 2004, so maybe the old guard of TV Tropes have attached themselves to it.
The series combines TG fetish, Lovecraft,and X-Men all into one thing.
Reportedly crazed fans bombard the TV Tropes for an effort to get the series noticed.
It's basically the troon grandad of the modern web serial,or at least, a connected one that is.

It's odd it's so specific to the site. Reddit and Twitter are full of troons, but they never mention it. I guess it's the old guard of TV Tropes and no one else.

Like I said, this series has been around since 2004, Reddit and Twitter users don't have memories that stretch this far.

Reddit started in the mid 2000s, it's not a newfangled website. Besides, they bring up Harry Potter all the time and that's from back then, the book series ended in 2007. This story just never got popular outside TV Tropes for whatever reason.

Ehh. Most people don't read web serials anyways.

Reddit's a less ideal place for shilling whatever you like, despite being a shilling website. It's only hospitable to extreme normalfaggotry or on-topic media. TV Tropes explicitly doesn't care about notability up-doots.
