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).

CardboardBot seeing a TLP similar to one of his ideas and realizing he needs to act fast to still pump his idea out without it being considered a copycat.

Tropers (including Fragglelover on more than one occasion) bringing up PlaygroundSong.Ninety Nine Bottles Of Beer as a page that is... Weird, but no one knowing what to do about it.

Tropers added Broken Aesop examples to YMMV pages despite it not being a YMMV trope.

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

Well... if I recall correctly that's not remotely what happened ^^' Let's not actually slander Eddie here, he's done some weird stuff, but FMB-related sexism was not one of his crimes. note

note 

BlackFaithStar when a character has a profile/is being suggested in the Trope Pantheons, but their example on the trope's page itself is low-context at best or non-existent at worst.

M1gami ready to destroy the Pantheon on April 1 with one profile that would be the equivalent of a meteor strike on a country.

M1gami also wondering how the heck the Ni no Kuni pages arent bigger than they should be for massive rpgs.

BlackFaithStar being this close to not giving a shit if a Light Novel hasn't been moved to the Literature/ namespace yet, that wick's getting converted cuz that page will happen anyway, either by her to cover her tracks or someone else.

Don't worry, no one will get mad at you or question you unless you vandalize a wall of someone you're not on good terms with.

Menace potentially daring Gaston to change the TV Tropes Slander thread's title to something more descriptive, and only for it to not happen.

CardboardBot getting more ideas for profiles

CardboardBot having the most causal reasoning in his sandbox, knowing damn well that he'll have to rewrite it to bring it over to the Trope Pantheons thread.

CardboardBot suspecting that Excessive-Menace has multiple other people's Trope Pantheons sandboxes on a followed list.
