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 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.

It's not even just the explicitly lewd stuff it's also the little details. Like, do you know how often Male Gaze is linked in a non-example context? I don't but it's a lot.
"Hope for our world, tragedy for another."Worth a wick check and cleanup effort if that's the case. I've seen it to, I think.

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576Now how many of those are in-universe and how many of those are just Tropers being horny.
"Hope for our world, tragedy for another."That's for the wick check to uncover.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessShould have been here in the wild west Fetish Fuel days. Now that was a roulette wheel for a random page.
When the random trope button gave you the Fetish Fuel page, the roulette involved was of the Russian variety.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.Oh, no, worse than that. YMMV wasn't enforced as separate either, so any random page had a decent chance of having, well, one-handed material.
That bring said, this was also the time of Troper Tales. Wild west is an apt analogy.
Reminds me, someone archived what the Sonichu page looked like in 2010, and it's so bizarre to see Dethroning Moment of Suck mixed in with objective tropes.
I gotta agree with ya, BackSet. Entries on character pages, mainly female ones but male ones too, can be so horny they can make me do a double-take. And I think we all know how much of a simp I am.
Some call it stalking, I say walking just extremely close behindI swear, I was sure Blue And Orange Insanity was a trope but when I looked it up I couldn't find it.
Some call it stalking, I say walking just extremely close behindNo I know that one exists, I just thought we had one for insanity. I don't know why I did, I just thought it was around.
Some call it stalking, I say walking just extremely close behindConflated it with Black-and-White Insanity which does exist? That or it's called something slightly different but a search isn't turning anything up.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.> Blue-and-Orange Morality
I kept think it was Blue green morality for some reason
New theme music also a boxI feel irrationally bothered by the fact that the correct title is Humor Mode, not Joking Mode, because Joking Mode seems to be the one people use more often and I think it sounds better.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessJoking Mode gets corrected in my head to Joking Mods!
New theme music also a boxIronic, considering the current kurfuffle.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessThat topic right now is a No Dont Go There topic for me,I was super tempted to post a one liner there but I don't want to get burned to a crisp
New theme music also a boxDo I want to know?
"Hope for our world, tragedy for another."Probably safer to remain not knowing if you ask me
New theme music also a boxYeah, it's not worth getting into on this thread. Just pop over to the FAQ forum if you're really curious.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessMaybe we shouldn't have an overly fawning page idolizing a Nazi propaganda book like Victoria and double maybe there shouldbn't be links to the goddamn thing in every other trope page? Like I know we have a page for Mein Kampf and The Turner Diaries but the pages for those are ruthless and treat the books like the scornworthy pieces of garbage that they are. Meanwhile Victoria which is The Turner Diaries with the numbers filed off is linked in every other trope page on this site and the page for it is like "Man Victoria is the coolest book ever where a based and redpilled chad murders all the transes and jews and feminists and then they all live happily ever after"
Like ffs, it was pathetic when three users were spamming Wheatly universe fanfic links on every trope but at least that shit was just harmless nerd stuff. Maybe this site shouldn't promote Nazi propaganda? Just a thought
Still in the Navy. Probably will be for lifeIf the page for Victoria really is gushing the series, you could clean out the gushing yourself or bring it up on the Removing Gushing thread.

It would be nice if there were citations about it because specifically that is forbidden by the rules that were set a long time ago.
