I weep for the human race.
And I have to ask how a page like Unknown Rival could ever have had Troper Tales. It doesn't even make sense.
I hit random. First page that came up was Imaginary Friend.
6-8- Piglets. Pocket sized creatures I could carry around in my mouth, which now strikes me as rather disturbing.
8-9- Tigger. Lost my imaginary virginity and had an imaginary child called Jessica. Then he ran off with someone named Sheila.
9-11- Fraiche, the oracle of wind. Medli, the High Queen of Tigger and Sheila's world. Temporarily one named Shannon as an expy of a former best friend who moved away. Then we became Schoolgirl Lesbians and she ended up doing some (imaginary) bad things to me. You Do Not Want To Know.
11-13- Priestess Midna, Sunsha, Yizilia and Moona. Since Sunsha was apparantly my real mom, was some so of Changeling Fantasy. Helped them "save the world" from my imaginary enemy, The Raven. oh, and The Raven was stalking me.
13-now, somewhat- Didn't have any definate imaginary friends, but had fictionalised versions of people I actually knew (and some imaginary extras). 'And as for he 'plot' at this point, I'm not even going there.
...
Yeah, I was (and kinda am) a weird kid.
Hit random again. Cuteness Proximity. Subjective, but I'd argue they're boring and unnecessary.
Random again. A page with no Troper Tales.
Random again. Marshmallow Hell.
AKA: "Someone shove their boobs in my face plz."
Random again. Ridiculous Procrastinator.
Random again. Be Careful What You Wish For.
Random. Another page without tales.
Random. Another page without tales.
Random. True Art Sticks It To The Man.
Random. Tsundere.
Funnily enough, my Tsundere tendencies extended into other parts of life; most predominantly, my opinion of things. For example: If you asked me about my opinion on the Japanese culture, I would respond with a biting remark about how it didn't matter and then I would change the subject. However, when by myself, this couldnt be more to the contrary; I love collecting bento boxes and I diligently study the Japanese language, and lots of other stuff to the point where one could, *gasp*, call me an Otaku, which is a name that I would take great offense to when I'm in tsuntsun mode.
I'm glad I got that off my chest... But, d-don't you dare think that it means anything! ... Dummy..!
-shrug-
So lots of not understanding the rules/posting creepy things/ego stroking.

Nil, a new sci-fi/horror story that you should read and review! (Updated 4/something) ''The gate opens.Okay, a new suggestion.
You say that Troper Tales chases away the new potential tropers.
How about a curtain, that only lets you through if you're a member, and even then, when people have signed up, you have a Content Warning, for the nature of the Troper Tales.
And two things.
- I don't have an ego.
- You're assuming that ANYBODY who wants to keep Troper Tales is some creep or egotistical jerk, who wants to spread their filth.
- I'm not giving anybody a label.

That's not the point. The point is that Troper Tales is a blight upon the site.
I don't want it gone because other people don't like it, I want it gone because it makes me feel bad to be a troper.

I think we had those, warning us that some of the content was not suitable for everyone. Once you register for an account, you can turn it on/off in the settings. If I'm not mistaken, we still do, but it doesn't change the fact that curiosity often leads people to pass over those, and later, regret what they've seen.
I concur: as a troper, it would be shameful to be associated with creepy individuals or arrogant people.

I'm the editor TVTropes needs but does not deserve.Forzare's point is one of the numerous ones that form my opion of axing Troper Tales. Most of my other points have already been mentioned, the guidlines not being followed in it, the uselessness, all of it's already been brought up.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."TT has been ghettoized for a long time, the new system forces you to get known and sign entries, and the main page for Troper Tales already has such a disclaimer.
And none of these have helped in a significant way.

Sorry, I can't hear you from my FLYING METAL BOX!the thing is, I don't care about hypothetical posters.
That is not why I want it gone. I want it gone because it's useless. Because its very premise is broken and lends itself to useless posts.
TT doesn't have anything useful for the site's purpose nor its community. Want to discuss anecdotes? We have a twitter thread. Want to discuss your own problems? We have an Angst thread.
I really don't see how this thing has a better environment than those and I don't see why they're so needed and special.
"My life is my own" | If you want to contact me privately, please ask first on the forum.I'm not sure why we should be counting the votes of the people that we're trying to kick off the site. Of course they're going to vote no, because we're trying to kick them out. I know I would vote no if someone was trying to kick me off the site. However, given that we're trying to kick them off the site, does it really matter what they think? I'm not sure why this is a popularity contest instead of a diagnosis of wiki health by the moderators.
@Forzare: I also agree. In fact, if the deletion does fail the crowner, there's a part of me that wants to quit the site. I'm not going to do it - that would be a total overreaction - but I am really, really tired of having to be associated with the kind of stuff you and ninjaclown have been quoting in the thread.
@Loid: Not quite. I'm trying to advocate the removal of the troper tales by demonstrating that its effects on the site (and its users) are detrimental.

I'm the editor TVTropes needs but does not deserve.I vote we change the title and crowner to: Reasons why we think Troper Tales should be moved off-site
@all the rename/different set-up/compromises.
You're missing the point. The point is that T Ts are off-mission, in offense of the rules and embarrassing to those who care about such things. The entire point of this movement is to get rid of it. Purge this awful experiment from the site and move onto bigger and better things.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?
Crown Description:
Should Troper Tales be removed? Vote down for no, up for yes.

Some of the examples raised violate every...single...thing in the guidelines about how to write. Yet, the lurkers insist on defending them? If you voted "no", let yourselves be heard.
