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.

Worth a wick check and cleanup effort if that's the case. I've seen it to, I think.

Male Gaze has 4295 wicks. Hmm.

Now how many of those are in-universe and how many of those are just Tropers being horny.

Should 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.

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.

I swear, I was sure Blue And Orange Insanity was a trope but when I looked it up I couldn't find it.

No 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.

Conflated 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.

I 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.

Yeah, it's not worth getting into on this thread. Just pop over to the FAQ forum if you're really curious.

Maybe 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

[up] If 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.
