I found this on the YMMV page for Hazbin Hotel.

I am glad my decision to never read things linked offsite from Tvtropes is paying off.

Let people want saucy Egyptian ass WITHOUT buzzwordy sperging 2k21.

Don't worry, it also takes a turn for the retarded by claiming that British archeologists are guilty of practicing "reverse colonialism" and there's some stuff about Asian burial practices.

AKA: My friends are She-Ra fans and they were really nice to me as a Hazbin Hotel fan.

Legit this trope feels weird to be applied to that unless there was large amounts of crossover art of She-Ra/Hazbin Hotel

Literally, why would there be any fandom rivalry between the two in the firat place? It's like saying there should be a fandom fight between star trek and my little pony.

The funny thing is that Star Trek and MLP fans have a bit more in common only because there was an actor that appeared in both and Bronies are essentially the modern day Trekkies in terms of obnoxiousness

But aside from that they are nothing alike.

Like 9-10 years ago it used to link to amusing and informative Cracked articles or Wikipedia pages on fascinating people and places. It probably still does but these days Cracked articles aren't so amusing and informative and the Wikipedia pages aren't so fascinating.

The only useful Wikipedia page link I saw on here had a description of obscure OCD type that is unnervingly close to some stuff I have.

I remember seeing lots of links to weird-ass eccentrics, soldiers who did crazy badass shit on the battlefield, and places with odd traditions. Plus you'd have sections on pages like "Reality is Stranger Than Fiction" trope or "I Don't Know Mortal Kombat" with interesting factoids and occasional links to videos like how the latter trope page linked to a video of the band Rush failing their own song on Rock Band. The "Real Life" examples on trope pages could be really interesting back then, it was like Ripley's Believe It or Not. Now the Real Life section is just people complaining about Drumpf and -isms and -phobias and the alt-right, written in an obnoxiously triumphant style like "thankfully, these Absolute Monsters are just a Vocal Minority and we as a society are moving away from this awful bigotry."
 
Here's a page with plenty of autistic detail.

A fucking fanfiction community of all things.

It's somehow noteworthy enough to have individual pages on certain "loops."

Here's a basic summary on the plot or what little of it there is. The recaps page, to be perfectly honest, does a pretty good job at summarizing the looping mechanics, terminologies, the overall timeline, and whatnot.

The YMMV page has sections on specific loops, too.

This last one wasn't kidding when it says that your phone or computer will struggle if you decide to visit the link. I know mine did.

I get the feeling that the people involved in writing the loops like to bitch a lot, as this section in Broken Base shows. They also apparently complained about others simply editing the TVTropes page.

A lot of the writers seem to be bronies and god forbid anybody does anything with their Mary Sues.

The section involving the original author, Innortal, has only a few tropes compared to the rest of the YMMV page.

They also used to be divided over Skylanders for some reason. I can't really comment on it since I'm not familiar with Spyro, but it's there.

The threads apparently tend to have a lot of infighting and drama over a lot of things. For instance, villains that loop without redeeming themselves.

Is this the fabled autism singularity they speak of?
 
i remember getting lost in tvtropes in 2006 and showing it to my friends, and they'd go "dammit now i have 50 tabs open". and that was before... *the takeover*

tvtropes is the poster child of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions", and how sensible people can like autistic stuff, and turbo-spergs can ruin some perfectly good and wholesome, mildly autistic activities.
