Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
We're no longer allowed
to mention these things on troper pages. If they're still around, PM them and let them know.
According to this thread
, it is out of line. We recently established that overly-detailed fetishes and kinks are not allowed on troper pages.
I've sent them a PM. Also, there's a couple of other entries that may be iffy (though not as eyebrow-raising as the one I brought up in the initial post):
- Chivalrous Pervert - Yeah I like watching porn, Fanservice, and think Girl-on-Girl is Hot! But that doesn't mean I don't have respect for women.
- Buxom Is Better - What can I say, I like girls with big boobs.
- Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female on Male - To hell with that! If you hit me, I'm hitting you back! Male or Female! That is gender equality.
There's a lot of misogyny under the "Tropes I Hate" section, too.
- Double Standard - Some people never shut up about how hard and unfair these "poor women" have it when they're more than willing to enjoy anything that benefits them (especially if it's at a man's expense).
- The Unfair Sex - All it does is give women an excuse to be complete unbearable bitches without any consequences at all, knowing full well that they'd be screaming for retribution if the shoe was on the other foot.
The Troper is active and has edited as recently as yesterday, but they haven't edit their troper page since 2012.
I'm assuming they forgot they even had it and it's stuck in a decade old mindset, I'm hoping they don't act like that anymore.
"Grandmaster Combat, son!"To repeat myself, and not to minimod, but I'd ask for major leniency with this Troper.
They haven't touched the page in a decade, look at all the Main work pages, I'm almost certain they just forgot about it and haven't touched it, which makes it look rather offensive and crass after a decade of changes in the site culture.
"Grandmaster Combat, son!"Yeah, let's calm down a bit on the commentary. P Ms have been sent. Let's wait to see what happens and if anything else needs to be done.
They didn't remove the Chivalrous Pervert example though. It's still there last I checked.
Trans rights are human rights!Nor any of the tropes he likes about how much he likes girls with big boobs in stilletos.
"Grandmaster Combat, son!"

Earlier, I came across a certain troper's troper page. It lists tropes that apply to them, tropes they like, tropes they don't like, shows they watch, etc., the usual. But the very first entry on their troper page?
Does this seem a bit...below the belt?
