I don't think they're malicious. They just don't understand.

I think he's asking for tropes that would apply to certain characters such as Mike's alter-egos from Total Drama and that mouse from Sing, but his grammar's so terrible and descriptors so weird I can't quite be sure.

Yeah, that was the impression I got. Not what trope finder is generally used for, but it doesn't look like trolling.

I'm sure their intent was fine. However, the grammar issues may warrant a watch.

i think this removes any possibility of good faith.

^Still just looks like they're asking what tropes are in a script.

the content is pretty blatantly inappropriate and it seems like an obvious troll to me at this point.

Even if they're not trolling, they should still be made aware that that isn't okay.

I replied to that...thing. Let's see if/how he responds and go from there.

It's a script they made up, so that really isn't kosher.

...okay, what in the hickory-smoked honey-glazed fuck is this supposed to be in the first place?

I'm sorry for not adding anything new to the conversation, but Willbyr's just made my day a whole lot better with this.

Actually, they didn't make that script up; that's a very sloppily transcribed Robot Chicken segment parodying e-sports coverage (Overwatch in this case), particularly the perception that people who play e-sports are stereotypically unathletic nerds and/or have fetishes for the characters in the games they play.

rjd1922 Since: May, 2013

In that case, they could still be acting in good faith.

they still need a chat about what trope finder is for and what's appropriate on the wiki, even if that's the case.
