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).

Wait, it's not because it sounds like a certain word that begins with S and ends with N?

[up][up][up]Erm, Ask The Tropers would probably be more suitable depending on the question (if there isn't a specialized place for it, like Trope Finder to ask if we have a trope, Wiki Talk for policy discussion, Trope Talk for discussing trope definitions, etc.). There's been discussion among the mod team about making thread creation on the Frequently Asked Questions board mod-only because it's not for one-off questions, and is mainly for the specialized threads that are already there (Edit Banned, the moderation discussion thread, the Locked Pages thread, etc.).

Speaking of...

Forumgoers ignoring the word "Frequently" in the name of the Frequently Asked Questions forum.

I can still remember when somebody made that joke about me. XD One time, I thought that part of Fullmetal Alchemist was a good example of Hypocritical Humor. When Ed refused to bring a stray kitten they found along with them, Al madly shouted “I hate you, Brother! You’re not even human!” I said this about it “Well technically, neither is he.” Then somebody said to me “You have no soul.” XD

Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!

BackSet getting super into Image Pickin and TRS for about a week or so before disappearing for months.

Tropers double posting cause they thought of something funny and want it to be noticed.
