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).

[up] Tropers making "haha funny picture" posts back on the first page of Crappy Image Pickin' side-by-side with "intentionally vague" posts.

EDIT: M-95 just realizing now that both of the posts linked above are from JankyKong and that they're making fun of themselves.

punkcrow now having to actually find out who Daniel Thrasher is, and...

[up][up][up][up][up] I can't explain it, but... for some reason, that's quite spot-on, actually.

[up][up][up][up] Amusingly, my last name is pretty close to a species of bird as well.

Sourguy not noticing that that page uses the wrong namespace (Theater/ instead of Theatre/), while the icon itself uses the wrong namespace.

Edit: Gaston correcting the namespace.

Tropers using "enforced" when they really mean "justified" (or vice versa).

Or for that matter, tropers using "enforced" when they mean "invoked".

Tropers using "justified" to mean "it makes the story work", as though that's not the default usage of every trope ever.

Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.
