Needs Help: Evil Albino

Edited by Adept on Sep 19th 2019 at 1:55:17 AM

This was long overdue. Created a TLP with all fitting examples (that I could find) from this trope and Heroic Albino. I couldn't think of a description, so there, uh, isn't one. Gonna need some help with that part.

Thanks. TBH, the reason I didn't create the thread myself is because I couldn't think of a decent write up that's not just a laconic.

Just stopping by to post my obligatory "don't you dare abandon this draft as soon as this thread closes" reminder.

I won't! Still need help with the description, 'cause I got nothing.

I may try and take a crack at it later if you'd like ~ (And yeah, I trust you. I'm just still salty over the "Spontaneous Reverb" draft I ranted about on another thread, so I'm at the point where I feel like I need to ensure nothing like that happens again.)

Looks like we're out of the quadruple-digit mark and into the triple digits.

Down to 899 wicks.

Too tired to do a lot, but I cleaned out some of the smaller sections and made requests on the locked pages thread to take care of JustForFun.Television Is Trying To Kill You and MagnificentBastard.Western Animation.

It also allowed me discovered one of the worst work-pages I've ever stumbled across, which I had to cutlist. It had Trivia tropes on the main page and one YMMV trope, was troping real-life, was full of ZCEs, wasn't indexed, and didn't have a separating line between the description and the examples.

Albinos Are Freaks isn't launched yet, but if I come across examples that fit that new trope, can I still add the wick (thus creating a temporary red link), so that I don't have to revisit the pages to re-add the example?

I've been pitching examples I've found at the TLP draft; presumably, they'll be re-crosswicked later.

That seems a little tedious though. Makes you work twice to achieve the exact same thing.

We also can't just leave redlinks to an unlaunched trope tho, so...besides, there's so few Albinos Are Freaks examples hiding on these pages, it's really no big deal.

The wick that was on Tyke Bomb seems to be one that could be replaced with Albinos Are Freaks.

Moving to another project though.

Evil Albino down to 750 wicks.

Evil Albino now at 640 wicks.

480 wicks.

Down to 180 wicks, and mod requests put in for the 14 that are mod-locked.

I know I'm late, but isn't Evil Albino an actual trope?

Too late, and no, it's a coincidental pattern with no consistent meaning and most examples aren't even actual albinos.

I'm not sure whether I should have alerted you to this sooner, but as of now... it's too late.

Most of the Evil Albino ones aren't even albinos? That's...not ideal.

Mmhmm.

Read the thread, it explains the decision, it wasn't arbitrary, and at this point it's way too late to protest the cut.

So what trope would we use for ACTUAL albinos, like, say, the one from Steppenwolf: The X-Creatures Project?

And Albinos are freaks or whatever doesn't work for Heroic Albino.

Ermm... Albinos themselves aren't a trope; there's nothing inherently tropeworthy about being albino, good or evil.

We have tropes like Light Is Not Good, Red Eyes, Take Warning, Gold and White Are Divine, etc.
