Worry no more: Trope Report is here.
Trope Report is a monthly newsletter that intends to showcase works and tropes from all corners of this website. It also aims to keep the troper hivemind updated with pertinent trope changes and discussions.
This June, we've semi-officially themed the issue around Pride Month. Portrayals of the LGBT Community have undoubtedly improved and become more varied in the last half century, and that's part of what we intended to focus on here with the sections that focus on works. If you are looking to check out some more LGBT-themed works and creators, we have indexes for those, too: Queer Media and LGBT+ Creators.
Again, part of the goal of Trope Report is to inform the community about changes and fixes to tropes, and we have been processing some big-ticket items and oldies at the Trope Repair Shop
lately. This month, we are reporting changes to Moral Event Horizon, Jossed, and Memetic Mutation, which are all in their own ways part of the wiki culture. So as usual, I ask that you check out the Changelog, Projects, and Forumwatch sections — in addition to those three items, there may also be discussions you are interested in!
Happy troping!

Tropes and Works
Trope Spotlight
Obscure Tropes
This section highlights older tropes that need a boost.- June is Pride Month, a time when many LGBT+ people celebrate being out and proud. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work this way. Sometimes, in fiction and in real life, characters who are gay — and we mean really, obviously gay — have to temporarily pretend to be straight for some situation, usually with mixed results. This scenario is called Flying Under the Gaydar. Perhaps fittingly, this trope has been flying under our radar as well. Even though it's been around since 2009, the page has only 49 wicks.
- This time of year, you might see people (real or fictional) attending a Pride Parade. These parades, in which LGBT+ culture is celebrated in a public parade, provide an ideal opportunity for works to focus on gay issues. Whether giving a gay side character A Day in the Limelight, teaching straight characters (and audiences) a thing or two about gay culture, providing a Funny Background Event in a Gayborhood, or exploring political conflict, a pride parade is a narrative device to spice up your show. For more info on the history and real life context for these parades, see our Useful Notes page. Pride commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Riots, and we've had a page since 2011, but despite appearing in hundreds of real life cities every year, our page has only 58 wicks.
New Tropes
This section brings attention to recently-launched tropes that could use a little help to really get rolling.- Dread it, run from it, our destiny arrives all the same — eventually, we all must take a trip to the truly horrible Department of Motor Vehicles (and its regional equivalents). Luckily, we can all share that pain in fiction as well! The Department of Major Vexation, which launched on March 31st, is the home of many an Obstructive Bureaucrat who seem to want nothing more than to waste as much of your time as possible, using so much red tape that it becomes a tangled mess with no end in sight. As the comedic sister to Intimidating Revenue Service, this department showcases a pain we can all empathize with — the pain of standing in line for hours, knowing full well that getting to the counter is only the beginning.
- There are people who are complex and create mixed reactions from those around them — some like them and others don't. There are people that everyone just can't help but love because they're just that nice. Then there are those that earn nothing but disdain from everyone they come across, even the most loving of people. In short, they're Hated by All. Launched on May 16th, this trope catalogues those characters who earn the ire of everyone they meet, from the petty high school brats to the psychotic mass murderers. Formed in order to combat misuse of 0% Approval Rating, Hated by All is a very unique group of characters that we hope you don't choose to emulate.
- You've witnessed many a Good Cop/Bad Cop routine, you've shuddered at the Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop, now get ready for the... Smart Cop, Dumb Cop? Wait, how'd this person even get the job? Launched on April 23rd, this comedic sister trope to some classic tropes among police media showcases a different side of the police department: the by-the-book detective who moves the investigation forward, and their bumbling partner that tries their hardest to just keep up, much less solve the case. The comedic possibilities of such a duo are very large, helping to lighten the serious mood we experience with the police, and as we watch on as the skilled officer does his job and proves his competence, we also get to delight in watching their partner struggling to keep up with their scattered brain.
Work Spotlight
New Work Page Spotlight
This section covers newer work pages that could use a little help.- Jack & Diane is a horror film made in 2012, but its page was only created this year on April 27th. While the name is reminiscent of a famous John Mellencamp song, this film follows the summer fling between a flirty boyish girl named Jack and an English girl with chronic nosebleeds named Diane. As the girls grow attracted to one another, Diane has strange dreams that indicate a monstrous presence lying within her. While the film didn't get a very positive reception, it's sure to be an interesting watch if you're into lesbian romance and horror thrillers, and could use additions such as a YMMV subpage.
- Feel Good is a Channel Four dramedy series (released internationally on Netflix) starring nonbinary bisexual comedian Mae Martin. Martin plays a version of herself who is coping with their repressed sexual identity and sobriety from drugs, who meets a middle-class woman named George and begins dating her. The show features several different LGBT experiences and addresses them with both comedy and legitimacy. The page was created on May 9th, but a second and final season is apparently slated for this year, so be sure to keep the page up-to-date when that season drops.
- Those interested in the Yaoi Genre may be interested in Slow Damage, a Nitro Plus visual novel released this past February, the work page having been made on April 8th. It stars the apathetic Towa, who lives in the ward of Shinkoumi in Tokyo during a recession. The one thing that brings Towa joy is painting people, as he has the ability to see their auras and put their deepest desires onto his canvas. The visual novel is chock full of characters, but the main page and most folders on the Characters subpage lack tropes. If you're able to play the game and/or read its supplemental manga, perhaps you could work your own artistry on the trope page.
- For fans of pick-up-and-play video games, we have Power Bomberman, a fan-made Dream Match Game based on Hudson Soft's popular franchise that places its efforts on polishing the multiplayer-focused Battle Mode to its fullest extent. Completely free-to-play and available for both Windows and macOS, the game can be played by up to 12 people both locally and online. The game also features a ton of playable characters, endless stages and items both old and new to the series, multiple rule sets, and a remake of Bomberman for the NES as a secondary game mode. The page was just created on the first of May, so check it out and feel free to update it if you notice any details missing, given the game's diverse selection.
- For fans of DC Comics,The Oracle Code is the newest take on Barbara Gordon as the wheelchair-using computer expert Oracle. This graphic novel follows Barbara as she gets sucked into a mystery while coping with her new life as a paraplegic. It puts a new spin on Barbara's origin story by focusing on her rather than any of her well-known male contemporaries, and combines puzzle-solving with an exploration of trauma and disability. The page was only created on May 28th, so those interested in Oracle's story, feel free to flesh out the page further.
Older/Obscure Work Spotlight
This section is intended to highlight works that may no longer be in the zeitgeist — but that doesn't mean they're any less tropable.- Bananaman is an animated series based on the comic series of the same name; it ran in the mid-1980s with 3 seasons and 40 episodes. The main character is Eric Twinge, a schoolboy who lives on 29 Acacia Road. When he eats a banana, he transforms into the eponymous superhero, ever alert for the call to action! He has the muscles of twenty big men in this form (and the brains of twenty mussels), but he can also fly and use banana-themed gadgets, and his sidekick Crow helps him in situations when he can't think of what to do. There are many villains in the show he must battle with, like General Blight, Dr. Gloom, the Heavy Mob, the Weatherman, Zorg the king of the Narks, Auntie, and Appleman. The show is highly comical in nature, with plenty of appealing jokes, even some visual ones despite the slightly cheap animation. If you're interested in a more lighthearted/parodic superhero show, certainly give it a watch.
- Tankmen is a series of animations by JohnnyUtah with four canonical episodes released throughout the late 2000s. In the year 20XX, the world is in ruins, and war is commonplace. The mascot of Newgrounds, Sergeant John "Tankman" Captain, and his partner Steve are the main characters who take part in war, with both death and humorous antics aplenty. The humor is top-notch (as long as you're into crude jokes, especially ones about genitalia) and the color palette makes great use of yellows for backgrounds and black and white for characters as well as most objects, and still manages to make each major character look distinct. Sergeant John Captain himself has also appeared as a playable fighter in Newgrounds Rumble as well as Week 7's opponent and a potential playable character in Friday Night Funkin'.
- Tower of Greed is an Adobe Flash game by Epic Shadow released in 2009. You play as a weird white thing with green eyes and have to climb the titular tower without falling down. Every tower has gems that add to the score, but you have to escape through a door that's available on every fifth floor to keep them, as well as any trophies earned. Along the way, enemies will push our little creature upon collision, but there are power-ups that can help with climbing or dealing with enemies. The 8-bit graphics and chiptune soundtrack make the game aesthetically pleasing, while the high risk-to-reward ratio makes gameplay intense at higher floors.
Works That Need a Page
This section takes a page from the List of Shows That Need Summary. It is intended to spotlight works that people have been talking about enough to link around the site, but don't have a page yet. If the work page link turns blue after this, then we know we've done our job!- Parquet Courts is an indie rock band that's a personal favorite of two of our editors. Step up and make the page!
- Do you listen to girl in red? This Norwegian singer-songwriter is so well-known among Gen-Z women-loving-women that the previous question is often used as a sort of identifier on social media. She's known for her honest takes on queer love as well as mental health. So help this link in red become a link in blue!
Non-English Work Spotlight
The wiki may be in English, but that doesn't mean non-English media are any less important! This section focuses on works that may have a language barrier to deal with — but are worth it if you do.- Mike Shadow: I Paid for It! is a game by the Spanish developer Tanoku. You play as Mike Shadow, a guy who inserted a coin into a vending machine, but it didn't give him a drink. What shall he do? Beat the hell out of it! During gameplay, you pick from up to ten attacks until Mike runs out of patience and the day ends. Each hit has a chance to drop money, which can be spent on new attacks and upgrades. While most of the early-game attacks are just standard melee moves, you gain access to more powerful and showy moves after a while, like elemental powers, mecha, and nuclear bombs. Even if the machine won't break, it's still worth playing to see the cool animations and progression.
- Zemsta is a comedy in four acts by Polish writer Alexander Fredro. On opposite sides of a wall live Cześnik Raptusiewicz and Rejent Milczek, a Red Oni, Blue Oni duo, though the latter is more cunning than his name would suggest. The former has a niece named Klara and the latter has a son named Wacław, who are in love with each other. A comical and cowardly nobleman named Papkin also serves Cześnik and wants to marry Klara. It's quite enjoyable even as mandatory school reading, with memorable lines that are quoted among Polish people.
- Pureya is a game by the Spanish developer Majorariatto. It has over 30 action-packed minigames, like shooting asteroids in a spaceship, controlling a ball that bounces over cacti, dodging cannonballs fired from a big ship in a normal ship, and jumping over steps and rolling black balls as a spinning top. Each minigame has you collect marbles that can be used in a pachinko game, where you fill a meter when they land in a pocket. You have a chance to win prizes when a meter is full, like new minigames, music tracks, and skins for playable characters in each minigame. Doing well enough makes the games faster, but also makes more marbles appear in the game field, while performing poorly lowers the speed. It's the perfect way to spent a few-minute break that still offers a varied experience.
Creator Page Spotlight
Works would be nothing without the people who make them. This section highlights authors, artists, actors, musicians, and everyone else responsible for trope creation and proliferation.- You might not have heard the name Saerom, but you've almost certainly heard of the stuff they work on. They're a South Korean animation studio who work on American shows, ranging from Dora the Explorer to Sanjay and Craig to Adventure Time: Distant Lands, and have undoubtedly contributed greatly to many influential cartoons.
- After its cancellation in 2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Eurovision Song Contest returned in May and crowned Måneskin its winner! These alums of The X Factor snagged the crown for Italy with their rock song "Zitti E Buoni". Give it a listen!
- Art Nouveau is a distinctive style that shows up in art and architecture all over the world. If you like its breezy, nature-inspired fluidity and colors, you'll definitely want to learn about Alphonse Mucha, an influential Czech artist whose illustrations played an important role in publicizing and influencing the movement. He's known especially for his colorful paintings of beautiful women with flowing gowns and hair surrounded by nature.
Image/Image Caption of the Month
This section brings you the best of the recent selections from Image Pickin.
This issue's featured image comes from Nintendo's consoles, and illustrates The Pennyfarthing Effect.
The Pennyfarthing Effect is when an older iteration of a concept is needlessly more complicated than what comes after. For instance, the Trope Namer, the Pennyfarthing bicycle, had an enormous front wheel and a tiny back wheel, which, considering the proportional wheels of modern bicycles, does not appear to be a necessary part of the progression of the bicycle, but rather an utterly absurd farce that was more complicated than it had any right being. In fact, a Pennyfarthing bicycle was indeed the trope image, but was deemed to be Just A Bike And A Caption.

Co-op with the Nintendo 64 (1996) never did catch on. Luckily, the Nintendo Game Cube (2001) only requires one person to play.

In fact, a Pennyfarthing bicycle was indeed the trope image, but was deemed to be Just A Bike And A Caption.
However, the new image goes for a more modern approach which compares the N64 controller to the Gamecube controller. The N64 had an unwieldy control stick in the middle of the controller, which made it difficult to use both it and the 2 other sets of buttons the controller had. With the Gamecube, this was corrected, and people nowadays might wonder why Nintendo ever chose to put the control stick in the center. For those curious: In short, a clearer illustration for a more civilized age. Another great find from Image Pickin'!
Projects and Discussions
Forumwatch
Hey guys! Welcome back to Forumwatch! In this section, we'll be telling you about what's going on in the forums — interesting discussions that may be going on in Wiki Talk, some fun forum games, or lively debates going on in On-Topic Conversations, you name it!
- The trope Landslide Election is used for completely one-sided elections. Simple enough in the realm of fiction, but the page LandslideElection.Real Life exists. This page has separate categories for the different circumstances in which these elections are landslides. But let's think, does this violate the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement at all or not? Is it even tropable in real life? To discuss this, come to the Landslide Election - Real Life criteria thread.
- The fight for LGBTQ+ people to gain acceptance in the United States is a long documented battle that is still ongoing to this day. Although we occasionally manage to make progress in keeping our existence and identities legal, other times we are pushed back by loud Heteronormative Crusaders within the government. The LGBT Rights and America thread will allow you to keep up to date and discuss LGBTQ+ politics with fellow tropers.
- Cartoons are becoming gayer, and we mean that in the best possible way. Quite a few animated shows aimed at children are introducing more and more LGBTQ+ characters, some in major roles. One such example is The Owl House, which features the local Academic Alpha Bitch, Amity, falling in love with the heroine, Luz. The second season of this show is premiering this month, so if you want discussion, go to the The Owl House: a horror-comedy Disney series thread and talk either about intriguing plot developments or intriguing romantic developments.
- Some of us (or many of us) don't quite identify with our assigned gender at birth, whether somewhat or at all. We have many different ways of coping with this including presenting as our identified gender or full on transitioning to physically become our correct gender among others. For those who want to talk about their experiences or just need a virtual hug because dysphoria is ugly or you are in a bad spot with your guardians, we invite you to the Transgender Tropers, Aggregate! thread.
Trope/Article Changelog
This section covers renames, removals, hard-splits, merges, and wick cleaning. We'll try to keep you alerted to any major changes to the site, including perpetual projects and Wiki Talk decisions that you may have missed, but if you want to be a part of the process that affects so much of our wiki, then head over to the Trope Repair Shop on the left-hand side of the forum.
- Dummied Out has now been marked as a trivia page as per this TRS thread.
- Jossed is now a YMMV Definition-Only Page, meaning it cannot be used as an example in a trope list but can be linked to within entries. TRS discussion here. (The original thread was in Trope Talk, hence the unusual thread title.)
- Memetic Mutation has been expanded to to encompass all fandom in-jokes. Check out the TRS thread here for more information.
- Odango Hair has been turned into an example-less fanspeak page due to the trope not having a distinct meaning that isn't covered by existing tropes like Anime Chinese Girl and Girlish Pigtails. Check the Grand Unified Appearance Cleanup thread to read more about the decision.
- Moral Event Horizon was officially given tighter standards by this TRS thread in order to combat decay. After a lot of discussion, the agreed-upon changes, which can be found in this post, are that the deed stands out in the story and in the resume of the character, is treated seriously by the narrative, and often marks a shift in the way the character is portrayed. If you have any questions or want to help with the cleanup, the Moral Event Horizon thread in Projects can assist.
- Author Existence Failure was renamed Died During Production for clarity due to frequently being misused as "creator dies", which everyone eventually does.
Pages Needing Help
This section highlights articles indexed on the Pages Needing Wiki Magic policy page and sub-pages. Such articles are, at best, under-performing and below wiki standards. At worst, these pages are in violation of the wiki's rules against stubs. If you're an editor, try checking out some of these under-performing trope and work articles to see what improvements you can make to the page.
- June's birthday is John Cusack, whose page is very nearly complete. The page has over two hundred wicks, we have a decent description, and a long list of films, but only four tropes are listed. However, Production Posse is written weakly and they have redundant indexing on Actors.A To C and AmericanActors.A To C. This page only needs a bit of a push to get it out of the "Needs Help" stubbiness, and most of the work only involves checking trope and work pages for existing examples that describe his career.
- Bewitched was a fairly popular film (based on a very popular television series), but wiki editing has been fairly low-standard. For example, one of the tropes says the following: "For the Show Within a Show, which tends to obscure Samantha's face and highlights Darrin's, used to portray him as the protagonist of the show." Can you tell what the trope is about? If you guessed Breakout Character or Decoy Protagonist, you'd be wrong. It's supposed to be Animated Credits Opening, despite not mentioning any animation or drawing upon the way it is inspired by the original television series opening. Many of the other examples are the same, or even full-on blank zero-context entries, like for Show Within a Show and Sitcom.
- When you look out at the night sky, and see the stars pinned against the blackness of space, it can be easy to believe that they're all part of the Milky Way. But you don't only see the Milky way, despite what fiction might assume. What Other Galaxies? There's Andromeda (M31), of course, but also the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), and Bode's Galaxy (M81) that can be seen by the naked eye from Earth. We used to mistake them for stars at first, then nebulas, until finally realizing that they were much, MUCH further away than any previously discovered star/nebula. Despite this realization, fiction still struggles with the idea that the Milky Way isn't the sole galaxy. The trope in question (What Other Galaxies?) could benefit from having the description expanded, an image to illustrate the mistake, and a few more indexes or wicks. From there, if you want to branch out and investigate the other low-content stellar tropes, they don't need much care, but a bit of ZCE and natter cleanup goes a long way when it happens before the articles get too many.
Project Spotlight
Looking for a project to dedicate some time to, but not comfortable jumping into large threads? Here are some smaller projects, or more recent discussions, in need of a few more hands.
- We here at Trope Report believe that our LGBT friends deserve as much representation and respect as anyone else. Unfortunately, not a lot of LGBT tropes turn out to be properly tropeworthy. Currently, there's an open TRS thread on Transgender, looking to find tropeworthy patterns beyond characters simply being trans. If you'd like to join the discussion, click the link and get involved.
- The TRS thread for We're Still Relevant, Dammit is seeking to solve the issue of misuse with the trope in question, possibly by adding tighter restrictions. If you want to help, stop by the thread.
- "Wiki Tropes" have been an issue of misuse, confusion, and misplacement for a while now. To solve these issues, a TRS thread has been created for the entire batch. With so many pages to go over, the thread could use as many opinions as possible.
- Mondegreen is an In-Universe Examples Only trope. However, it sees a lot of usage on YMMV pages. If you'd like to help resolve this, there's a thread in Short Term waiting for you.
- Crazy Awesome was recently turned into a disambig, but there's still a lot of wicks that need moving. A Short Term Projects thread exists now to help speed this process along. Any hands will be welcome.
- The "Killer" tropes (Franchise Killer, Creator Killer, Genre-Killer, Star-Derailing Role, and Stillborn Franchise) are a continuous source of shoehorned and misused examples, complaining, and troping of non-media things outside the scope of TV Tropes. Luckily, the X Killer cleanup thread exists to clean out these problematic entries. If you would like to participate, head on over!
- A persistent problem with the ComicBook/ namespace is the tendency of fans to create a medium-specific page for a character within one of the more popular franchises. After years of discussing options, The ComicBook/ Namespace, and the lack of requirements to qualify has begun moving character-based articles from the medium-specific namespace into the Characters/ namespace as subpages to their respective franchises (primarily Characters.DC Comics and Characters.Marvel Comics).
- Natter has been a frequently persistent problem on trope pages. Fortunately, there is a cleanup thread available to remove natter where necessary.
Corrections
This section addresses any mistakes or other potential issues regarding previous Trope Reports.
- The May 2021 issue had an entry for Vs Sky telling readers to "check out the game." Shortly before the report went live, the game was taken down. Apologies for anybody who wanted to play the mod but can't, but rest assured that there are videos online showcasing gameplay.
Know the Contributors
- Synchronicity writes Creator Page Spotlight and oversees this whole shebang. Likes tropes and works about comedy, slice of life, and sci-fi/fantasy. For some reason, also enjoys keeping the wiki tidy.
- Piterpicher is the head honcho of Older/Obscure Work Spotlight and Non-English Work Spotlight. Those are the kinds of works he's interested in, but he's primarily a gamer. When it comes to wiki philosophy, the priorities are making it fun for readers, encompassing, and well-performing in terms of SEO. He is straight and old-fashioned (a yuppie who enjoys politically incorrect second-half 20th century and 2000s culture), but accepts members of the LGBT community since there's a place and need for many kinds of people. (Editor's note: he also made our snazzy new logo!)
- crazysamaritan writes for the Pages Needing Help section, keeping an eye out for stubs and crosswicking.
- Kappaclystica writes for the Image of the Month. Hates unillustrative images.
- Satoshi Bakura writes for Forumwatch. Their passive nature and busy college schedule often leaves them watching pages and forums without actually participating unless their interest has been sufficiently piqued. They are bisexual and nonbinary, accepting of any pronouns.
- Mighty Mewtron writes for the New Work Page spotlight. She probably hasn't seen these works before coming across their pages, but she likes to be involved in the growth of the wiki. Beyond the Trope Report, she's most active in the forums, TLP, and the pages for whatever work she's obsessed with this month. She's also bisexual (she melts over cute fictional characters of all genders).
- MacronNotes writes for the Changelog section. She spends most of her time on TRS, Long/Short term projects, and TLP. She is also the herald of the Wiki Talk section on the forums.
- War Jay 77 writes for the Project Spotlight section. She is also the Herald of Projects: Long Term/Perpetual, and spends much of her time refreshing on the forums, ATT and TLP for new things to respond to. She's not LGBT, but's happy to be an ally.
- gjjones writes for the Project Spotlight section. He also frequently spends his time working on projects whenever they are necessary, cleaning up wiki entries and participating in the ATT and Trope Repair Shop threads.
- 𝕋𝕒𝕓𝕤 writes for the Obscure Trope Spotlight and Changelog sections.
- ccorb is technically bi, but prefers dating other women. She writes for Works That Need a Page, and spends a lot of her time on Image Pickin', Trope Repair Shop, Trope Launch Pad, and the Projects forums, and also Wiki Walks, searching for works and tropes they find interesting. She credits this very wiki for introducing them to anime and manga they had never heard of before but now watch/read (or would like to), such as My Hero Academia, A Silent Voice and especially Hunter × Hunter.
- STARCRUSHER99 writes for the New Tropes spotlight, taking advantage of his time lurking in the TLP. Outside of Trope Report, he enjoys participating in the CM/MB threads, lurking on ATT and TLP, and editing whichever piece of fiction that he happens to be obsessed with that day, official or fan-made. He's out as bisexual, but is happily committed to his girlfriend.
- Twiddler makes sure our grammar is in order. Did you know the plural of 'nebula' can be written as 'nebulae', 'nebulæ', or 'nebulas'?
- The Mayor of Simpleton is participating as a guest editor. Today, he wrote for the Projects Spotlight. He mostly participates in Projects and TRS, and occasionally Image Pickin'. He is straight but strongly supportive of LGBTQIA+ rights.
- FernandoLemon is another guest editor, who wrote for the Work Spotlight section. He is openly gay, and you can most commonly find him in the Image Pickin' forums, and occasionally at the Trope Repair Shop.
- naturalironist sometimes writes for the Obscure Trope Spotlight sections. They can be found editing the wiki and on the Trope Launch Pad and Repair Shop.
