I know this sounds like a rant, but it seems like there are a few double standards on ThisVeryWiki. For instance, a lot of people seem to be under the impression that this refers only to tropes that are \'\'sexist\'\', and furthermore, specifically sexist against women. About half the tropes listed on the page seem to get a lot less of a negative response in different places (it seems like pages like this mention MsFanservice or the camera\'s [[MaleGaze near-constant focus on her assets]], AndThatsTerrible. But look for this trope under a character page that mentions said character being MsFanservice...[[DistractedByTheSexy and that\'s awesome!]] Hypocrites much? Don\'t try to tell me it\'s because the editor on the latter was [[MostWritersAreMale \

I know this sounds like a rant, but it seems like there are a few double standards on ThisVeryWiki. For instance, a lot of people seem to be under the impression that this refers only to tropes that are \\\'\\\'sexist\\\'\\\', and furthermore, specifically sexist against women.

Don\\\'t try to tell me it\\\'s because the editor on the latter was [[MostWritersAreMale \\\"obviously\\\" a male]], either). Second, this doesn\\\'t just apply to sexism; one case that seems to bug me is a lot of people on this site\\\'s attitude toward some supposedly non-AcceptableTargets in the religious realm. If there are cases where religious nutjobs make the whole sect look bad, they may be admitted as such, but are still considered \\\"real\\\" cases. Contrast this with militant atheists who openly bash religion to the point of KickTheDog, so much so that even other atheists [[EveryoneHasStandards don\\\'t like them]], but these are treated as {{Hollywood Atheist}}s (read: not [[NoTrueScotsman \\\"real\\\"]] atheists) or just {{troll}}s trying to make non-believers look bad.
Am I wrong to feel like someone\\\'s getting jipped here? I don\\\'t mean to offend anyone (though I\\\'m sure I already have), but I\\\'m just saying.
