What really gets me about tropes like "Nobody Poops" and "No Periods Period" is that they only list instances where it DOESN'T happen. If a trope is so common that aversions are more notable than straight occurrences, then why not make the opposite situation into a trope?

Probably yes, they have a page for this actually.

Dude, it's just a word.

IIRC, the trope was originally meant as more of a video game thing where none of the interiors would have bathrooms. Probably the most famous examples would be the PS1 Resident Evil games where there aren't any restrooms anywhere in Raccoon City, even though you could have justification for including them like maybe finding some first aid kits in a medicine cabinet or someone locking themselves into a stall to hide.

It's an oddly specific trope, but it's enough of a thing that it became a minor meme of sorts.

Even with the most charitable justifications, it's still autistic as fuck and TV Tropes would naturally make it a lot worse.
 
I'm slowly starting to see people not use the word 'autistic' but instead 'neurotypical'
Like you have to be a grade A cunt if you start using that
 
The Spider-Man: Miles Morales page has a pretty shit usage of "What do you mean, it's not political?" in the YMMV section. It's pretty recent. Brings up Antifa and insinuates that somehow, just because Miles and other characters aren't white, their existence is political because they're fighting against a megacorp guy? Even though Peter inadvertently did the same thing in the previous game? Wonder if that'll change, now that I've mentioned it. Who knows, maybe they monitor this thread?
 
Well none of the mods do since that security flaw still exists to my knowledge. BTW I finally got back in... Im keeping a low profile until I figure out what course of action to take.

Apparently BSG reimagined was 'too dark' or something. Is that true?I mean do people actually complain that the reimagined take on a series in which humanity is struggling to survive after a nuclear strike and fleeing a robot armada is too dark?Also the entire series being a thinly veiled metaphor for the War on terror and 9/11.

It was definitely grimdark, but it was pretty good until that abortion of a finale came along and wrecked it. Season 4 was lackluster to begin with (Baltar's harem of gullible idiots, Gaeta goes nuts, Dualla offs herself), and the second half was worse (introducing Cylon(R) brand organic goop, spread it on thick and fix your hull, no refunds; also RIP OG earth), but good lord the finale was fucking awful (lol back-from-the-dead Starbuck was a ghost, everybody abandons all technology and goes native, Super Magic Space Baby was Mitochondrial Eve, chip Six and Baltar were angels after all, and Sony Aibo is the beginning of the end for us).

What a waste of a spectacular start. It was so obvious they had absolutely no fucking idea how to actually wrap up the show. That or it was an early example of the "deconstructionism" plague that's overrun Hollywood today and they just couldn't bear to give anyone in the series a happy ending or even give the audience any decent answers to all the questions and plot threads they left dangling.

I'm not bitter.

Poor Galactica. She deserved so much better than being flown into the sun by a brain-damaged football player laying in a bathtub filled with murky water and a bunch of cables sticking out. I am bitter, god dammit.
 
TVTropes is the one cowherd I most want to see implode a la NeoGAF. All I want for Christmas is to see a mass exposé and mega dox of every single TVT editor. For all their disgusting fetishes, browsing histories and chat logs to be laid bare for general mockery and condemnation. It's the first step to building a better society. Is that too much, Santa?

And these are the same people who screech "PoCs existing isn't political!" whenever the latest game/movie comes out that features an ambiguously brown woman as the protagonist with all the other characters besides the villain being other ambiguously brown or black people or gay.

Well, it ain't racist when Africa (particularly South Africa) is one of the places that never really grew out of the AIDS pandemic.
