TV Tropes Slander

Go To

So, we got a bit off topic over in the TV Tropes Meta Thread (shocker) and started imagining what a video about TV Tropes in the style of those slander videos (you know the ones) would be like. Anyways, FernandoLemon suggested we make a Yack Fest thread for it so here we are.

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).

Tropers after calling every female character who just happens to have big boobs or who maybe wore a bikini once for the Beach Episode "Ms. Fanservice"

Ugh, you have one female character who knows how to defend herself, and the next thing you know, everyone on here is calling her an Action Girl.

Gaston seeing that someone made a VideoGame.Granddad page and initially wondering if it's redundant with a page that covers a certain bootleg, only to see that it's for a completely unrelated game that's actually about an old man.

Little kids: "I can't sleep, I'm sure there is a monster under my bed!"

Tropers with bad sleep habits: "I won't go to sleep until I find the original write-up for this particular villain on an old Complete Monster thread!"

Also, don't go into Complete Monster proposal/clean-up/disambig threads before bed. There's scary things in there. And potentially, spoilers for works unrelated to the thing you are trying to look up.

"He betrayed the Staaarks" is not the only problem here.

PhantomDusclops92 browsing a YMMV page for something where a certain plot point or character is simultaneously spoiler-tagged and not spoiler-tagged in different examples, so he reaches the "Violations of the Spoiler Policy" thread to ask if he should remove the spoiler tags or add them to the examples that are unspoiled.

They ignore his post, just like all the other times that thing happened.

MkayRose pretty much giving a huge amount of dialogue to his fav works in "We make obscure references" thread which most people don't know about.

Alternatively, every troper having the same berserk button: the fact that they didn't pick a good avatar.

Rule One possibly being the reason why "Roast the above troper" is more like "Toast the above troper".

The gravestone being toast for some reason.

The thread should be called "mildly inconvenience the above troper"

[up][up] I don't think that's the reason, but ironically I don't think I could explain why without violating the rule (because I'd have to provide examples of tropers fundamentally misunderstanding what a 'roast' is, and outside of the designated 'light-hearted consensual dickishness zone' no less).

The avatar thread having Tama Toons focus more on dark subjects like deadly incidents, corrupt corporations and genocide however, poor Milktchi and Furifuritchi sometimes miss out a bit on these topics despite Chamametchi and Hapihapitchi being nearly just as fluffy as the former.

Obviously I love those two as much as the rest, perhaps I'm worried Milktchi's cutesy wootsy talk might make things more narmy than it already is. Late edit: But at least she ends up ironically the most reasonable one sometimes when chaos unleashes.

Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness having such a long and incompressible name it never gets looked at or gets nicknamed.

I didn’t even search for the trope, I just copy-and-pasted the name.

Do not mess with creatures which you do not understand.
