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.

Someone is turning the Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girl boss meme into a TLP draft

CG for shortWow... Some tropes sure are modern.
Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)I know it because my coworker used it once after pranking our other coworker (and accidentally pranking me in the process... it's a whole story
). Point is he knew he'd been pranked as soon as she turned to him and just said "Gaslight. Gatekeep. Girlboss."

In his case, a chicken really is a man. Or a successor to one, at least.

Read Pokemon Ultimate EmeraldI mean, we also have Obnoxious Entitled Housewife, which was originally conceptualized as "The Karen".

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallMany memes can be actual tropes hidden behind Trope Namer Syndrome. When you start explaining them, either they're just funny edits or describe something that actually happens a lot in media.

Okay but the description has to involve Mansplaining what a Trope is. Or, to get more meta, Mansplaining what Manipulate, Mansplain, Malewife means.
I never noticed that YKTTW auto-wicks if it's simply typed in allcaps.
TLP does not do the same, however.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Here's a magic trick, try typing and posting K UBIS
e: I have not planned that out.

TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupI don't understand the whole "auto change" K U B I S thing. Like... it seems really silly to me. BUPKIS doesn't do it, so why should its counterpart?
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI assumed it's because "bupkis" is an existing slang word
and "our" BUPKIS is a Fun with Acronyms.
Likely because Administrivia.Keep Until Better Image Suggested was the first one like that and nobody bothered with others.

TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupI recall reading somewhere on the forums or ATT (forgot where) that the cleanup effort for Getting Crap Past the Radar left behind multiple wicks for Getting Crap Past The (which doesn't exist). More recently, I saw that there was a Wick Cleaning Projects listing for this, so I checked and the latter has almost eight times more wicks than the former, so I'm not sure what happened here.

I got a rock for Halloween.

Considering that deletion is an admin only thing, I am mildly surprised that we haven't had an enterprising troll or spam bot just do a shotgun-blast of uploaded images.
