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 reading trope pages on their phone while walking around in a WGA picket line (appreciating media in two different ways!)

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

If you get invited in a server with M1gami in it, expect to have the weirdest conversations of your life.

I've once had to explain whether it was haram or not to screw Pokémon, and that's one of the lighter things.

CG accidently spoilering herself on a movie she doesn't want to be spoilered on through a FG thread.

I only really see it happen in the "defeat the above avatar" game which has a problem of people just using their most OP avatars instead of coming up with creative matchups.
