Suspicion is enough to warrant suspension, which is as good as permabanning in this case. And Tropers are known to keep tabs on these pages for years. It's the "lightning rod" strategy they promote on the boards.

I wonder if they don't realize that they just unironically gave Stonetoss more material to work with if he ever decided to make a comic about glancing over the TV Tropes page.

A few choice quotes from TV Tropes users regarding that Harry Potter game designer, showing that they support Cancel Culture and all that, alongside championing anything regarding trans rights..

Is this TV Tropes or ResetEra refugees arguing on a site called TV Tropes?

A Star Trek episode about racism is bad because both races are depicted as flawed.

This is bad way? The episode showed that both races were morons. Age very well in my opinion.

What goes around comes around. He fires Charisma Carpenter for getting pregnant (after he perverted her character).

Joss bought into his own hype and constantly punched above his weight class.

Are right-wing editors seriously that much of a problem on the site? I cringe-read all kinds of articles from it fairly regularly, and I can't think of a single time where I saw somebody express a specific political viewpoint in an article that wasn't boilerplate progressivism.

Someone made a page on Stonetoss and got banned for not agreeing that it's alt-right propaganda. Personally, it's hit or miss, but it's still right-leaning satire. Francisco Franco or whatever the name of that Spanish dictator was typecast as an alt-right magnet for some reason, despite being just smart enough to avoid being overthrown.

As for the rest, criticising the LGBT, supporting Trump, or being racist/sexist/ableist are things that the alt-right does, despite the fact that anyone else can do any of these things.

So yeah, guilty by association.

Of course not. It's the "under siege" mentality which infects every wiki. They're drafting a constitution.

The number of Long-Term Project threads is staggering; it's all to do with rule enforcement. If you look at their histories, none of those people add anything to the wiki. It's redirecting, potholing and snitching.

This just sounds like it was written by a neo-Nazi. How ironic.

That's the best part about drawing comparisons between fictional groups and real world minorities: they're almost always counterproductive. Whether it's Skrulls, mutants from X-Men, or vampires from something like True Blood or whatever, the minority stand-ins in ficition are almost always legitimately dangerous. People in the Marvel universe have way more reason to be afraid of and distrustful of literal shapeshifting aliens than we have to be afraid of Jews or whatever other group they're substituting for this week.

You make a good point there. It's the inverse of "this group are like Nazis" by saying "this group are like the Jews". They could have substituted it with any marginalized group really, but they had to go with Jews to get that hollow emotional impact through the connection to the tragedy that was the Holocaust.
 
I'll never forget one Troper comparing Agent 47 to the Las Vegas shooter. 47's kill count in Vegas was in the low single digits. And he's not Caucasian. But go off, I guess.

But this is par for the course with teenagers, i.e. the majority of active users on TVT.
