View attachment 47864 Yeah, that is the first thing that popped in my head when I read that. It was written by a troper after all

I've lurked through their trope pages just to waste time and i gotta say it's fun. The opposite can be said about the "Forums" themselves. Just by responding to a subject about adding a DeviantART fanfiction onto TVTropes got me banned in less than a week.
That said, I think it's time to reveal my ultimate masterpiece that got me banned in the first place.

How a complete lunatic like that stays in charge of a website I will never know.

Because the internet is full of insane people that probably should have been committed a long-ass time ago. I should be grateful Eddie stepped down.

As for the Autism dying down, as long as SU and MLP still air, that's not going to happen unless they start cracking down and removing the more problematic members.

I've probably been to the forums like...three times, and that was years ago. The pages themselves are the only things that interest me, so I had no idea the forums were this bad.

While I find most of the pages entertaining and informative, I'll occasionally come across something cringeworthy and it's obvious that whoever wrote it had no idea what they were talking about. The most recent case for me was this bit in the Dethroning Moment of Suck page:
Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It's a reasonably good piece of fiction in general if a bit contrived. I cannot help but to be annoyed that the author has written in such a way that he seems to have a raging hate-boner for ugly people. The antagonist Chillingworth does objectively good things: He gains great medical knowledge from the indians at considerable personal risk and uses it for the benefit of the community. When Chillingworth comes home to see his wife (and indirectly himself) publicly shamed, he comforts Hester, medicates her and her daughter and mostly blames himself for his wife's infidelity. He helps Dimmesdale medically and emotionally by correctly insisting that Dimmesdale will never fully recover until he relieves himself of whatever is weighing his heart. Despite these good acts, the Puritans of Boston seem ungrateful for having a man who has put so much effort into becoming a great doctor for them and seem to interpret everything he does in the worst possible light. Everyone, including the narrator and Chillingworth himself assumes that he is doing everything for the very worst of reasons -because Chillingworth is ugly. Just to hammer in his badness the narrator makes Chillingworth ugly and uglier as the story goes on. The reader finds him/herself asking "what can an ugly person do that counts as a good deed to you, Nathaniel Hawthorne?" The dethroning moment of suck occurs when that question is answered near the end of the book. Chillingworth dies and leaves his great fortune (that we never heard of before apparently Chillingworth choose to live an austere life despite being rich) to the cute child Pearl -though he knows it is not his daughter. The author claims this was his only good deed. The author has answered: "Die! and leave his money to a beautiful person. That's the only good thing an ugly person can do because the only good ugly person is a dead ugly person!" Cue Evil laugh. Scarlett Letter; hate speech against ugly people.
Um...is this person not aware of what "symbolism" means? They make it sound as though Hawthorne was literally saying all ugly people are evil.

Fun fact: Fighteer, the current leader of TvTropes, hates Dethroning Moment with a burning passion and wishes to remove it. The reason he doesn't is because he's a beta fuccboi who fears the backlash it may cause (and to be fair to him he's probably rught about the backlash being really nasty).

Why does he even run a site where he hates what the site loves? He sounds like a real shitbag. Not that Fast Eddie was a real winner or anything.

He's one of those website mods and admins.

You know the type: Those small-dicked authoritarian assmonkeys who treat the site as their own personal treehouse with the actual userbase not even being a priority because "I'M IN CHARGE. I WEAR THE BURGER-KING CROWN"

To avoid backlash, maybe he should just clean up DM pages. Keep reviews that are actually well thought out and make a good point (very few of them), and delete the outright spergfests of reviews.

The comment I'm thinking of was made when the forum users were circlejerking about DMOS being a shithole, although he had expressed such opinions before.

Fighteer is much more competent at running the site than Fast Eddie, for what it's worth. It helps that he has inexplicably mellowed down a lot in the past year or so; he even listened to criticism when the redesign went underway and the userbase bawwwwwwled (to the point that new features were implemented within 24 hours of being demanded).

Admittedly, that may just be sucking up to the Kickstarter backers.
