It's definitely a mess, I'm afraid.

I don't have familiarity with that site, so I cannot help here.

It's a social media platform, not a creative work. How is it troped at all?

Looking through the page, I agree it is a mess. There are a few things in the description I would remove, but I don't think it's overly negative. A lot of the negative tropes are towards the beginning, but that's the luck of the alphabet, further on it has an equal distribution of positive, negative, and neutral tones.

I also think explaining those negative tropes a bit more would provide context and make it appear less, "everything sucks". One of the big problems with the adult content ban was it got rid of NSFW artists and writers, but the porn bots remained and are still a problem to this day.

^ AFAIK, all websites with pages here are troped.

^ That's not true at all. We delete pages that aren't tropeworthy, and we've deleted websites on that basis before.

The main tropeworthy parts of Tumblr are the specific blogs and posts hosted on it by a variety of different users, and maybe their April Fools' Day jokes. But the page spends way too much time troping the users as if they are a monolith. I'd prefer it be stripped of examples similar to YouTube.

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