History Tropers / Themayorofsimpleton

I am now a lurker. Thanks for everything.

I am on indefinite leave. Maybe I will return - I don’t know. Thanks for everything.

Hello all, I am themayorofsimpleton. I have been using TV Tropes for years (mainly starting around 2014, though I'd used the site a lot prior), but I only created my account in late 2019 and started really editing and getting active around late 2020. I come from downstate [[UsefulNotes/NewYorkState New York]]. I am the OP of several cleanup threads, including the cleanup thread for the three "Killer" tropes (FranchiseKiller, CreatorKiller, and GenreKiller) and the cleanup thread for removing unnecessary references to reviewers on wiki entries. I am also the creator of both the Sandbox/WorksThatRequireCleanupOfComplaining sandbox, and the Sandbox/TRSQueue. You'll mainly find me in TRS, the Projects threads, Trope and Wiki Talk, Yack Fest, sometimes Image Pickin', and occasionally ATT.

I actually don't consume a large amount of media outside of music, which is most of what I consume. I like a lot of different kinds of bands and genres, particularly HipHop, ElectronicMusic, and some rock music (mainly Alternative and Indie). I often go through different phases--at one point I was listening to a lot of AlternativeRock and [[NewWaveMusic New Wave]] from TheEighties in particular (I particularly like Music/{{REM}} and Music/TheSmiths), at another time I really got into AcidJazz, and at one point I got into Music/MacDeMarco as well. I go all over the place. My favorite album, for reference, is ''Music/PetSounds'' by Music/TheBeachBoys.

I used to play a lot of video games, but I haven't in recent years due to lack of motivation and primarily persistent computer issues. Still, one of my favorite games is ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' (I don't really have a favorite so that will do). (I also used to play a lot of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', hence some of my profile pictures.) I'll probably get back into games someday when my motivation goes up and I get a more stable PC--PC games are mainly my thing, both new and old.

I also watch a lot of channels on [=YouTube=], ranging from reviewers and video essayists to people who just play games to animators to some meme channels. My favorite [=YouTuber=] on the whole site is WebVideo/ContraPoints.

Other than that, I'm a big fan of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' (primarily the older seasons) and adult animation in general, and I'm slowly getting into other kinds of media. And of course, I've always loved Creator/{{Disney}} and Creator/{{Pixar}} movies[[note]]My favorite Creator/{{Disney}} movie is ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' and my favorite Creator/{{Pixar}} movie is ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}''[[/note]]. I'm politically left-wing (I lean socialist and was/am a Bernie supporter) and as for my religion, I am a Lutheran Christian (though I lean agnostic--it's complicated). I'm mainly active on the forums (specifically the left-side, some Yack Fest threads, and occasionally the RIP thread in On-Topic), but I occasionally edit the wiki as well. And I ''[[CutenessProximity really]]'' like cute things. (Although not sickeningly cute things.) Especially my cats.

Thanks for visiting my troper page. Oh, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Da9sc6YDBo the origin of my username.]]
