Tropes applying to Tongpu (according to him and people outside of tvtropes)
- Asexuality— So there are officially people who think I do fit the criteria.
- Black and Nerdy
- Blunt Yes
- Boomerang Bigot: An argument could be made for it, though my irritation with the African American community has lessened since I added this trope.
- The Comically Serious: I can be a very uptight killjoy in meatspace, to the point of unintentionally amusing people.
- former Deadpan Snarker: I'm not saying I was funny. I'm saying I was an obnoxiously sarcastic, mean-spirited Jerkass back in high school. Since then, I've sworn never to use sarcasm again. I can't make any promises about the other stuff.
- Evil Is Not Mean: In case you were wondering why I haven't been banned.
- Hates Being Touched
- Ignored Epiphany— I've spent years analyzing myself. I already know a fair amount about the insecurities that drive me, and I already know about the unhealthy and destructive coping methods I've adopted. I know about my irrational sense of entitlement, misdirected anger, callousness, laziness, selfishness, weakness, etc., but I no longer care. I even have a general understanding of what I could, in theory, do in order to "get better". But ultimately, I'm not willing to put in the work necessary to change.
- Insult Backfire:
- evil is a silly, melodramatic term that just serves to feed my Psycho for Hire Wish Fulfillment fantasies *
same as horrible person, inhuman, scum, monster, and other terms of moral condemnation.
- I don't see why I'd want not to be as selfish or lazy as I can get away with.
- narcissistic and sociopathic describe several of my favorite characters, so thanks.
- Being insignificant to the world is something of a relief, given the whole slacker thing.
- Jade-Colored Glasses: Not that I have a good reason to be jaded. I think I was simply so sheltered as a child that it was a foregone conclusion that contact with reality would leave me disillusioned.
- Literal-Minded
- Loners Are Freaks: I'm a loner because rather than deal with my social anxiety back when I was merely a Shrinking Violet, I opted to simply avoid people until it became a lifestyle and I became maladjusted.
- Loves the Sound of Screaming: preferably female, or Howie Long. I hate the Wilhelm scream.
- Nerds Are Virgins
- Nietzsche Wannabe
- Nightmare Fetishist: I like reptiles, most bugs, serial killers, mass murderers, ero-guro, rape scenes, natural disasters, rape anecdotes, the rat scene in American Psycho, mental illnesses(especially paraphilias and cluster b personality disorders), Eldritch Abominations, scars, Body Horror, dreams in which I die, and the heat death of the universe.
- Not Wearing Pants— actually, I do wear pants in my dreams; it's shoes and a shirt that I'm often missing.
- Omnicidal Maniac
- Poe's Law: My unorthodox views appear to be the main reason people have tended to mistake me for a troll.
- Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: I was a Wide-Eyed Idealist Actual Pacifist as a child. Eventually I learned that Being Good Sucks, and stopped caring about ideals.
- The Slacker: I'd like to avoid contributing any more to the world than I take from it, if I can help it.
- The Fatalist
- Then Let Me Be Evil
- The Quiet One: obviously, this only applies in meatspace.
- The Spock: this one I heard straight from an actual Star Trek fan.
- Troll: someone on encyclopedia dramatica once called me the second greatest troll on tvtropes (next to Fast Eddie). Which is odd, considering how most people are bored of me by now.
- True Neutral
- Übermensch— inverted; I'm more like Nietzsche's Last Man: unmotivated, amoral, dispassionate.
