It reminds me of an anecdote someone on the Flop House podcast told about going to watch Memento with a group at college, and when people were discussing their interpretations of it, one woman basically said her theory was that it was all a dream as he was dying, and the Flop House guy just left in disgust becaus it missed the entire point of the film.

so many of their theories and tropes require ignoring major plot points or character development so they can squeeze them into the tropes they want to be able to add to a work’s page, because despite having it as one of their two mantras, they still seem to think that the more tropes sosmething has on its page, the better it is.

also, from their ‘Values Resonance’ page:

W-what the fuck. These bitches are being horribly transphobic and sexist by slapping the trans label on Sapphire, they’re pretty much screeching “YOU CAN’T BE A WOMAN IF YOU HAVE MANLY INTERESTS”.

Also oh boy, the infantilization and borderline slutshaming of sexual abuse victims in the Banana Fish part. Not every rape victim becomes scared or repulsed by sex afterwards, in fact many openly HATE that stereotype and find it insulting.

Quote I heard from Tim Pool.

Sexism ways that only women wash the dishes.
Feminism says that anyone can wash the dishes if they want.
Trans say that anyone washing the dishes is a woman.

It was a Burmese tiger trap for amateur artists and writers, often tricking them into believing they must "abide" by the cliches listed on the site as if it were some sort of code.

This is why so much fanfic is plotless garbage with cardboard cutout characters, i.e., just a bunch of tropes autistically strung together by someone who doesn't even know why they "work" in a good fiction.

Maybe it's supposed to be the event horizon of a kugelblitz.

It's an offshoot of Moral Event Horizon, which is again supposed to be a completely unforgivably heinous act that takes the perpetrator beyond the point of no return as an irredeemable villain. But it's full of retarded pet peeves that upset some autist.

I interrupt your scheduled sperging with an important message from GethN7.

Granted, it's coming from the heels from an unrelated incident on Wikia; but he's grudgingly going along with it.

This is why you don't create wikis on Cuckdom.

Geth has his own wiki which isn't sucking Fandom's cock and has none of their exceptional "misgendering" rules.
He's probably sticking with Cuckdom just because it gives him more exposure.

A major problem is they keep your content even if you leave, and then you end up with some shitty, non-maintained wiki still having top ranking just for being on the massively spammy Fandom.

Be wary of anyone who edits Complete Monster (and its sub-categories).

There was an exhaustive cleanup thread. Fighteer was forced to weigh in. Now there is an approval process. It still attracts a lot of garbage edits and edit wars. You can tell the mods don't want to set foot in that viper pit, because they usually suspend/ban and then consider the matter closed.

It's one of those umbrella terms that, honestly, shouldn't exist. Stuff like this is catnip to autists.

I suspect in large part because of a difficulty with uncertainty, of things being unclear. This can stimulate a tendency to want to label someone a Monster and stick to it.

To be fair, the Clean Up imo largely worked, now you can't have people add that shit in just because they don't like a character

Go to a page where it would be completely inappropriate and if there's an MLP section take a drink.

Keep in mind that giant rats usually die in one hit and are one of the weakest and most pathetic enemies in the game, besides maybe radroaches. They're a minor nuisance at best.

And if you have the Animal Friend perk, they don't attack you at all.
