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).

Examples claiming that something is a fandom's general opinion when it's clearly just the opinion of the person who added it.

Tbh I never really hated his minigames in the original, but they did make them better in the remake.

People on ATT when they see someone asking about troping their own work (they are about to link The Fic May Be Yours, but the Trope Page Is Ours even though there is no sign of page ownership issues)

🏃‍♀️💨🏃‍♂️💨🏃‍♀️💨🏃‍♂️💨🏃‍♀️💨🏃‍♂️💨🏃‍♀️💨🏃‍♂️💨🏃‍♀️💨🏃‍♂️💨

(Later, the author will engage in blatant Auto-Erotic Troping, which nobody thought to warn them about at all because nobody remembers that page.)

Tropers dying of old age waiting for another person to add YMMV items about their fanfiction because they can't do it themselves

[up]Related: Some editors mostly alphabetizing correctly aside from overlooking the fact that trope names that begin with articles are alphabetized based on the words after the articles.

TV Tropes users crying when a villain expresses love for someone on their deathbed, not because it's a Tear Jerker but because it disqualifies them from Complete Monster

Tropers listing Matthew Shepard as a Real Life example of Bury Your Gays.

This actually happened, but I don’t have the link.

BlackFaithStar at the screen when she:

  • uploads a video example
  • makes a work page (may or may not be crosswicked)
  • follows a forum (game) thread so she won't sandwich post

You keep using the term "POV". I do not think it means what you think it means.

Spino noticing a typo in a trope list & creating the typo as a redirect because he was too lazy to fix it.
