Discuss TV Tropes itself, such as observations you've made about the site/forum/wiki.
NOTE: Keep it civil; try not to get into any Flame Bait-y territory, per the forum rules
(in particular, drama importation and popcorn posting are not allowed, and this thread is for discussion about the site and not the users). In addition, while discussing the Edit Banned thread is not prohibited on its own, discussing and/or alluding to specific ban/suspension cases is not permitted.
One thing I've noticed is that for all how the page for They Might Be Giants claims them to be the unofficial official band of this wiki, there's relatively few people on this site who seem to ever reference them.

Most of the bronies hang out in the My Little Pony threads or in Forum Games.
And for MLPFIM itself. I see it everywhere. 😅
Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. The ones on Forum Games are cool.

Very good kittyI do think there might be an issue when a fanfic's tropes overlap with the original story's and you get a lot of repeats.
I remember a while back I was reading the fanfic section for Fiery Redhead and half the examples were Asuka from Evangelion, who already is a Fiery Redhead in the original. I mentioned it in the Discussion page, but I don't think anyone ever responded.
Overlaps with Odd confessions, but on Google Chrome, I keep it zoomed in to 125% on this site. The normal size, 100%, seems a little too small.
Very good kittyI miss those troper toys that we used to have on the on the side bar of the wiki. It was fun thinking of short story ideas using the story trope generator
Macron's notesThere are some people who aren't as nice as you've been lead to believe,their friendliness is an act and it's obvious when they're being insincere ,at times I've struggled with the temptation to call them out just to see their act fail further,other times others do that for me and I get a certain amount of validation knowing I was right.
have a listen and have a link to my discord server(Just as a warning, this comment is about some really horrible racist and sexist media, and if you're not prone to Bile Fascination, it could make your day worse just to know about this stuff. But anyway.)
Are there any other pages like the one for FATAL
, which briefly notes that FATAL is a famously horrible and bigoted tabletop RPG system, and then says, "Because of the game's content, we're neither providing trope examples nor linking to the rulebook, which can readily be found if you really want to go looking"? The page for Racial Holy War
, which (as you can tell already) is an even worse and more bigoted TTRPG, actually includes a trope section, which is mainly there to insult the game and its creators.
I like the Bile Fascination of reading in detail about horrible media (it's a huge guilty pleasure), but the approach of the people who made FATAL's article may honestly be more prudent. Which approach do you think is preferable, and does TV Tropes have any consistent policy on this?
You might want to bring this up on Ask The Tropers. I agree that if there is a policy regarding content like that it should be applied to both pages.
I don't actually know if there is one, though if there is I'm guessing it was applied to FATAL because it gained a lot of notoriousness on this site in the early years for reason you can probably imagine.
