TV Tropes will be dead in a few years given how its traffic ranking is plummeting. Generation Alpha will start really getting online this decade but they won't be using that site. Frankly I'm not even sure how many zoomers use it given it apparently peaked in 2011.
This is probably true but I can't see taking Alexa ranks seriously. I don't see absolute idiots who deliberately install literal spyware to keep track of every site they visit as representative of the Internet population at large. Frankly the shit that already spies on you involuntarily is bad enough.
Sure, but these are tropers we're talking about here. Who do you think is most inclined to do that?
Nuclearweaponarchive is a lot more useful than TV Tropes. Today's pop culture fans mostly just use Reddit and Twitter.
I think it was easier to avoid the creepy sex stuff than the political stuff since the sex stuff was mostly confined to a couple pages and didn't pretend to be authoritative, it was obviously a couple of spergs writing one-handed. There was however that one page (I wanna say it was called Perverse Sexual Lust or something) where people talked about how sexy Nostalgia Critic and other TGWTG personalities are as well as the Troper Tales section in general full of "that happened" stories as well as people typing one-handed stories about wanting to fuck the Smurfs or whatever.
I remember there was a page called "Fetish Fuel: The Nostalgia Critic", which basically summed up TV Tropes at the time.
Great now you've given me flashbacks to the paragraph of someone cataloging the videos Linkara showed his forearms in. That page... if it's archived there's some frightening TMI on it.
Well, he was a nasty cock slut after all.
The actual Lost Media Wiki in itself seems harmless enough, in that it pursues exactly what it says on it's title, although I can't say I check the place much to begin with.
It's more autistic for you to be doing a 100% completion run on reading this website.
It's hilarious they think nazis, communists, and conquistadors are somehow mutually exclusive. As if the USSR didn't try imposing its philosophy on other nations. (religion I'll grant is trickier to fit in)
They've also gotten in slapfights with Youtubers covering lost media, and the uber-autistic among the community have harassed people for info on kids shows.
The use of these names is more about external ethos than use of force. By the nature of the discussion they're saying that they're not exclusive in the first place.
Atheism was the official religious stance of the Soviet sphere countries and there were active campaigns to suppress religion. So even if the USSR wasn't imposing its religion per se, it was imposing its religious policies. (Even though WW2 saw reapproachement between the government and the Russian Orthodox Church and the Soviet state later supported or maybe instigated the efforts by the Patriarch of Moscow to supplant the Ecumenical Patriarch as the head of Orthodox churches.)
