{{Quote|TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|Motto and (failed) goal}}

'''TV Tropes''' is a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/family_friendly.php family friendly] [[OhInternet|custom-designed]] wiki devoted to entertainment media. Topics range from how much everybody loves [[Buffy]], how much everybody hates [[Twilight]], long discussions about the [[Fact|accuracy]] of some interpretation of a [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|completely fucked up TV show]], [[fapping]] over anything and everything [[Japanese]], arguments and whining over every little change to the site, and, rarely, sub-par analysis of tropes and storytelling conventions.

Despite ostensibly being based around the model of literary analysis popularized by Joseph Campbell, it is much closer in spirit to [[4chan]] due to the average member's favoritism towards [[in-joke]]y [[meme]]s over clear communication and constant in-fighting due to allowing any and every [[fandom]] to use the site, but without any self-deprecating awareness of their own idiocy. Thus, just as how [[deviantART]] breeds hack artists and [[FanFiction.Net]] breeds hack writers, TV Tropes breeds hack critical analysts.

The site is characterized by its high saturation of [[basement dwellers]], [[aspies]], [[weeaboos]], [[pedophile]]s, wannabe [[elitist]] [[Oxymoron|pop culture sophisticates]], fanfiction writers spamming their latest [[Final Fantasy VII|Cloud/Sephiroth]] [[slashfic]], and [[trolls]] milking them all for the [[lulz]]. It is also characterized by its absolutely [[unfunny]] attempts at meta-humor and displaying absolutely everything that can go wrong with a wiki, exacerbated by one of the worst site owners this side of [[Jimbo Wales]].

[[You]] can find the website [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage here] and a guide on how to be a [[Troll|productive]] [[Vandal|member]] [[Vandal/How-to|here]]. 

'''Please note''': If you ''really'' want to troll TV Tropes the best way is not to vandalize it but to call it out for the den of perversity and fanwank that it has become. Delete long rambling descriptions, call into question why there are so many articles on things that are clearly not tropes, and above all else try to make the trope examples more sterile and clinical in nature.
And, on the forums, ''politely'' protest the deletion of ANY page, and make sure you can find every reasonable argument under the sun to justify something and crapflood the forums with so much for the page deletion fags (referred to as the P5) to take into account you grind the latest deletion faggotry to an utter halt.

'''Hottip - As of late, they really don't like it when you point out how draconian the new rules are, and they especially hate the word "draconian" They also have been getting butthurt lately over people posting negative videos calling them out on their faggotry on Youtube.'''

== A Brief Introduction ==
[[Image:TvtropesLogoOld.png|thumb|150px|Former TV Tropes logo]]

[[File:Madru+Ed.jpg|thumb|left|Know yer mods: Madrugada and Fast Eddie]]

Before [[Al Gore]] and [[Internet|his greatest contribution to humanity]], memes were controlled by a small circle of [[Oldfags|writers and poets]]. [[Shakespeare]] dubbed these literary memes "tropes". With the invention of the printing press, more and more people were invited into the writers' circle and the tropes spread. Eventually, modern media abused these tropes until they became [[cliché]] and commonplace. Tropes were not a secret any longer and viewers and readers began to spot them instantaneously in any [[manga]], [[television]] show, or [[movie]] they watched. 

In 2003, it was determined that an entire wiki should be constructed to contain these tropes, and thus TV Tropes was created due to popular demand. Originally a spin-off of a [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]] message board and limited only to television (hence its name), it soon expanded to other realms due to site owners Fast Eddie and Janitor's (now [[ironic]]) insistence of "[[Ignore All Rules|as few rules as possible]]". 

After years of allowing [[fantard]]s, weeaboos, [[furries]], [[sick fuck]]s, and their own cancerous variety of memefags to proliferate with little moderation, Fast Eddie (now the only leader) eventually snapped and started enforcing [[Wikipedia Rules and Guidelines|an extremely strict set of unspecified standards]] through the judicious use of [[DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING|the delete key]], page locks, and [[banhammer]]. [[Some argue]] this might make the site one of the most meticulous, drawn-out setups for mass [[trolling]] ever concocted on the internet.

== Article Style ==

{{Quote|We are not [[Wikipedia|a stuffy encyclopedic wiki]]. We're a [[goatse|buttload]] more informal.|TV Tropes on article style}}

TV Tropes isn't really governed by any single style so much as it is by about a dozen competing philosophies all trying to spread their own brand of faggotry over the whole site. Combined with people that treat the site less as a reference and more as an [[MMORPG]], most articles generally turn into convoluted messes that requires [[CSI|a team of forensic analysts]] to figure out what the fuck it was originally about. Common failings are as follows:

*Articles are often written without a clear idea of what they're about in the first place. This often results in "tropes" that are just arbitrary collection of traits, and people adding more to the description to to (dis)qualify their favorite "example" that really isn't an example in the first place.

*Articles are often named after an example from an editor's favorite work to the detriment of anyone that isn't a fan getting it, or in the charcater-named articles, they pretend that their favorite character is a cultural icon on the level of [[Batman]] or [[Star Wars|Darth Vader]] that everyone is imitating. Since good characters are going to have a lot more to them than any one trope or role, these always turn into arguments over what the page is actually about once they inevitably get brought up in Trope Repair Shop.

*Articles are sometimes made only to be [[Pipe|potholed]]. These generally turn into the worst kinds of [[cancer]]ous [[forced meme]]s because people link to them fucking everywhere regardless of such optional things as "proper context", "moderation", or "not being completely unfunny and useless". One infamous example was "I Am Not Making This Up", which was linked on over 2500 motherfucking articles before getting [[Euthanasia|euthanised]].

[[Image:TvTropesImprove.png|thumb|200px|Pointing out the obvious fails of TVTropes will get your ass handed back to you (thread is locked immediately; your defense my butt.)]]

*"Tropes" which aren't even tropes (a figure of speech or a narrative device), but are instead author issues ("[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OneBookAuthor One Book Author]", "[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AuthorExistenceFailure Author Existence Failure]"), audience reactions ("[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StreisandEffect Streisand Effect]", "[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheRedStapler Red Stapler]", and that perennial favorite -- [[Shipping|which characters should totally be fucking]].), fault findings (the whole "Did Not Do The Research" shebang, which got killed due to Eddie getting butthurt over petty complaints), and juvenile [[aspie]] preoccupations ("[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NobodyPoops Nobody Poops]", WTF?).  But who said TV Tropes is about tropes? it's about people [[circlejerk|sharing their love over some anime or webshow]], so let's make more new pages without thinking: they'll be stained by fanboy drools in no time anyway.

*"Creative" techniques such as [[pun]]s, alliteration, [[irony]], rhyming, and [[parody]], that is added to everything the editors see at the expense of clarity and readability. For example, "[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HumanResources Human Resources]" on TVTropes is not about an office department (that's "[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InhumanResources Inhuman Resources]", logical [[No|eh]]?), but something pertaining to cannibalism. They rarely understand that TV Tropes isn't the pretentious lit-crit version of [[Uncyclopedia]].

*Example sections typically start out with an "Anime and Manga" section the size of [[longcat]] due to the oversaturation of [[weeaboo]]s, alphabetization putting it above everything but Advertising, and because [[Truth|Japanese television and comics are cliché as fuck]]. This often leads to the much hated "TV Tropes is for anime" stereotype that causes no end of drama, butthurt, and accusation of "[[Fursecution|marginalization]]". After making [[ED:Collapsing Objects|closable folders]] for all sections, Fast Eddie's [[Retarded|genius]] follow-up plan to overcome this stereotype was to rename the section "Manga and Anime" (thus putting the [[wall of text]] in the middle instead of the beginning). The weeaboos predictably fought even this [[Futility|trivial]] change to keep their favorite [[fap]] material as high up on every page as possible.

*Most works mentioned will be derivative, committee-designed genre bullshit and other shallow fanboy bait nobody will give a fuck about in a few years. Who cares about [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/Ptitle8chbawd2 the book] that [[some argue]] started [[The War of Northern Aggression|the American Civil War]] when you can read more about [[How Do I Shot Web?|Spiderman shotting web in issue 472]]?

*Many examples either don't fit or require lots of justification through meaningless buzzwords such as "subverted" and "from a certain point of view". This same kind of waffling is used by butthurt fans that don't want to admit their favorite work is a cliched piece of shit and thus need to come up with some reason why the use of a trope was some genius "deconstruction" or other oh-so-witty social commentary rather than the writer [[Plagiarism|cribbing notes off somebody else]].

*A lot of editors don't seem to understand that it's a wiki where you can edit any and all of the text and instead [[Strikethrough|start conversations using bullet points]]. Some types of this cancer include factual corrections (why correct the original example's number of penises that fit in the schoolgirl's ass when you can write "actually, there were sixteen, not fourteen"?), detailing why it's not a real example (instead of just deleting it), or taking the opportunity to talk about how the work raped their childhood.

*Finally, the bottom of each trope page has a "[[IRL|Real Life]]" section that is almost invariably terrible because the aspies that like that shit don't hold it up to the same rigorous standards as the rest of the site. These usually drift pretty far away from the specifics of the trope into [[Patriot|nationalistic chest-thumping]], political bickering, and [[Personal army|soapboxing]] as each new example gets added. These typically grow to cancerous sizes until they get surgically removed and some chemo is applied by putting an ugly banner saying "[[GTFO|NO REAL LIFE EXAMPLES]]".

In the case of pages for the works or creators rather than tropes, they typically start off with some "[[Unfunny|witty]]" paragraph [[trying too hard]] to do the advertiser's job for them followed up by a plot/oeuvre summary and more [[EXTREME ADVERTISING|puffery]] trying to justify all the hours lost watching [[Dragon Ball Z|bullshit filler episodes]]. They then [[cuntpaste]] every trope page entry this work/creator appears on and call it a day.

If the work in question is [[Battlefield Earth|something that no decent human being likes]], provided it hasn't yet received Fast Eddie's signature [[DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING|mass delete and page lock treatment]], it will typically get an excessively [[NPOV]] summary followed by an [[anti-lulz]] incarnate disclaimer telling the haters to shove it.

=== Notable Articles ===
While most of the mainspace articles on TV Tropes are total failures in being either useful or entertaining, a few manage to be indicative of the site's poor quality.

*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EncyclopediaDramatica Encyclopedia Dramatica]: Deleted and salted. See [[TV Tropes/Deleted Encyclopedia Dramatica Article]] for full disclosure.
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/MyImmortal My Immortal]: Initially the dumping ground of unfunny rejected /b/tards, Fast Eddie predictably deleted all the spam and locked it. Luckily, you can see a proper writeup of the series [[My Immortal|on this very wiki]].
*[[Joss Whedon]], [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JossWhedon their God (or "patron saint" as they like to call him)].
*The [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Warhammer40000 main] and [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/Warhammer40000 character pages] for [[Warhammer 40,000]]. Printing out everything would take over 180 pages, and that doesn't include all the other sections and individual book series pages. As much proof as you need that the site has no concept of moderation and allows excessive fanwankery.
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FurryFandom Furry Fandom]: TV Tropes supports [[furries]]. Hell, they even think they are <s>[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassFurry badass].</s> BALEETED.

Go [http://tvtropesmirror.wikia.com/wiki/Badass_Furry here for the Tropes Mirror Wiki version].
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ImageBoards Image Boards]: Despite really being the retarded /b/rothers that got institutionalized and promptly forgotten, they used to live in fear of [[4chan]]. Because of this, they had a [[meme]] where they wouldn't refer to the [[chan]]s by name for fear of invoking the wrath of [[Anonymous]] or something and instead said "Image Boards" as some way around using their name (notice "The Imageboard That Must Not Be Named" in the "alt title(s)" section). Nevermind the internet isn't fucking [[Harry Potter]] and [[B/|/b/]] has better things to do than [[raid]] a glorified fansite. They seem to have realized this by now, but still perpetuate this meme for no real reason.

== Other types of articles ==
=== Subjective Tropes ===
Subjective Tropes are where all the real [[lulz]] and [[troll]]-fodder of the site lie. Since most "regular" trope examples are boring recitations of [[fact]] that need to be livened up with distracting off-topic bullshit, trope pages where you're certain to [[Flame war|start an argument]] by merely bringing up an example are inherently way more interesting than noting yet another action movie that smashed a fruit cart. 

Unfortunately, since "subjective" means "[[IMO|in my]] [[opinion]]", the site is large enough where every last opinion is held by at least someone (yes, even the people who think [[The Human Centipede]] is sexy), and the site policy holds that all opinions are basically equal (so long as it doesn't piss off Fast Eddie, of course!), that basically means that these pages grow like cancerous tumors requiring constant splitting into more and more specific subpages as they lurch towards hosting every last fucking thing as an example, [[evar]].

*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NightmareFuel Nightmare Fuel]: Tropers are gigantic fucking [[pussies]] that shit their pants [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zMFOtFCuc0&t=0m20s every time the ice cream truck comes around the corner]. They also lack the capability to distinguish between what is or isn't supposed to be scary, so a second page called High Octane Nightmare while the Nightmare Fuel had an "[[I accidentally X|Accidental]]" added. Since most Tropers don't read article descriptions, duplicate entries in both sections are the law rather than the exception.
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FetishFuel Fetish Fuel]: When they aren't shitting their pants in terror, everything arouses your average troper to such a degree that they must be easy lays. This got so far out of hand that they spun it into [http://fetishfuel.wikia.com/wiki/Fetish_Fuel_Wiki its own wiki], which is just as failtastic.
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FanonDiscontinuity Fanon Discontinuity]: "I don't like this work, therefore, I declare it to not exist!"
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TearJerker Tear Jerker]: "My favorite character just found out the clerk at Starbucks shorted him a nickel. I... I think I'm gonna cry... [[BAWWWWW]]!"
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning Moment Of Awesome]: Absolutely anything and everything about a troper's favorite show, ever, collected onto a set of hideously gigantic pages. Fast Eddie tried to cut away some of this tumor by turning it into a thumbs up/down system for each individual moment, but since this would mean showing what people [[Hate|actually think of an entry]], it didn't take off. Eventually the administration admitted that the name had lost all meaning, due to the low standards of the average troper, and renamed it "Moment Of Awesome".
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Crowning Music Of Awesome]: In the same failtastic vein of Crowning Moment Of Awesome, this index of pages has expanded to include absolutely every piece of music ever written. An entire page in particular (20 times longer than the main page for John Keats, someone who actually matters) is devoted to music from [[Homestuck|some shitty webcomic]] that Tropers spread throughout the wiki like the cancer it is. Eventually renamed to "Awesome Music" after Fast Eddie realized that there wasn't anything crowning about this fuckery.
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AdaptationDecay Adaptation Decay]: If the [[animu]] of their favorite [[manga]] decides to change the birthday of the coffee shop clerk that appeared in some bullshit filler chapter, the neckbeards will all scream "DECAY!" and bitch about how it's a corruption of a literary masterpiece and the evil production company is taking a giant shit on a beloved franchise.
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MoralEventHorizon Moral Event Horizon]: "This character cut somebody off at the turnpike. UNFORGIVABLE! [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CompleteMonster COMPLETE MONSTER]!"
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MagnificentBastard Magnificent Bastard]: Who the hell even knows what this means any more?
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck Dethroning Moment Of Suck]: Distilled [[Nerd Rage]] so pure that you can almost hear the grinding of many gritted teeth, smell the countless pants that were pissed in anger, and taste the bitter, salty tears dripping from hundreds of double chins
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/Ptitlew9bltta3dv6n So Bad It's Horrible]: A basically pointless section where butthurt idiots with too much time on their hands write seriously [[TL;DR]] screeds declaring something to be the absolute worst work of fiction evar. Would be a total write-off if not for the endless stream of bickering between said delusional [[personal army]] fucktards and those that [[Futility|want to hold the section to some kind of standard]].
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HoYay Ho Yay]: "Two characters of the same sex are close friends. They must be [[gay]]!"

Subjective tropes like the above used to be placed in the example sections of work pages and invariably devolve into epic [[flame wars]] between [[fantard]]s and [[hater]]s. Faced with the possibility of having to moderate every work page with a subjective trope on it, Fast Eddie decided to [[Lazy|lazily]] [[ghetto]] them onto their own "YMMV" tab and call it a day. One will notice throughout this article that Fast Eddie's solution to everything he can't just outright delete is to [[Streisand Effect|hide it somewhere else and pretend it doesn't exist]].

For those who recognize that the YMMV pages are stupid and want to help accelerate their decay, just go through this list (don't miss the other linked categories on the side] and contrive some reason to add each one to every work page possible. One easy, [[Weasel words|weaselly]] way to generate drama used to be to add the following: 
* [=~So Bad It's Good~=]: To some.
* [=~So Bad It's Horrible~=]: To others.
* [=~So Cool It's Awesome~=]: Also to others.
* [=~So Okay It's Average~=]: To everyone else.

Any idiot can see that this is obvious and useless, but hey: all opinions are valid and should be represented, so back off, fuckers. This particular bit of advice is obsolete, however: Fast Eddie has finally decided to stop ignoring obvious solutions to [[grudgewank]] on the main wiki and outlawed any reference to the "flame bait" pages. He even deleted and salted mainspace redirects to the offending pages. Too bad waiting years and years to do this shit means hundreds of dead links and way too many idiots that will keep making more out of obliviousness, rebellion, or simple malice.

=== Darth/Sugar Wiki ===
{{Quote|We have the segregation. Sugar Wiki is harmless and fun, and harmless fun doesn't hurt the wiki in any way. I don't have a defense for Darth Wiki.|Fast Eddie. Well, he's half right.}}

The "[[Longcat|good]]" and "[[Tacgnol|evil]]" sections of the wiki. 

[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/ThisExists Darth Wiki] initially started off as some [[unfunny]] [[in-joke]] before swiftly being turned into a [[ghetto]] for everything too [[Lulz|negative]] to appear on the main site. With a hideous greyscale color scheme that frequently breaks due to Fast Eddie's poor grasp of [[Cascading Style Sheet]]s, it's divided between articles [[trying too hard]] to be like Dark Helmet from Spaceballs and [[BAWWWWW]]tism-incarnate bitching articles. Some suggested reading:

*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/WallBanger Even more redundant complaining about sucky moments in fiction.]
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/HowNotToWriteATropePage Their real style guide.]
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/TroperTales Their awkward self-parody of Troper Tales that fails harder than the real thing.]
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DethroningMoment/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses About the only place where criticizing That Guy With The Glasses won't earn a swift ban and ass-rape.]
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/UnpublishedWorks Want to write a Great American Novel, but too lazy to do anything but throw together some TV Tropes memespeak for your half-formed idea? Here's the section for you!]

On the flip side of Darth Wiki is the [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/SugarWiki/SweetExists Sugar Wiki]. Created long after its evil twin, this was always intended as a ghetto for obvious blowjob articles like Crowning Moment Of Awesome. This section is divided between said ghetto and an awkward parody of ultra-girly shows like [[My Little Pony]] mixed with "[[Kawaii|KAWAII]] [[Desu|WA DESU]] [[Otaku emoticons|=^_^=]]" bullshit typical of the site's [[weeaboo]] bend. There are absolutely no [[lulz]] to be found here, so don't waste your time.

=== TV Tropes Fanfiction ===
TV Tropes, with their [[Nerd|pool of infinite pop culture knowledge]], do what any sensible person with such wealth of information at their fingertips would do: write [[fanfic]]s. Most of them stay in the forums as shitty [[Role-playing|RP]] threads, but sometimes the shit gets so big it leaks into the main site, warranting their own page and [[at least 100]] sub-pages to go with it. From then on, it becomes a gigantic collab fanfic (or at least moreso). They are constructed like a fake TV show, and the contents consist of episode summaries for the first part, and then [[tl;dr|character summaries, character backstory, world backstory, character sexuality, developer commentary, cameos, invoked tropes, camera tricks, fan materials of a fan material, and scraps of rejected then recycled ideas]] for the rest. They're about as cliched as tropes.

*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AvatarAndTheAirbendingFellowshipOfVampireSlayers Avatar And The Airbending Fellowship Of Vampire Slayers] - A show made to appeal to the average troper. Like its namesake, it's like an average [[fantasy]] show.
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/ThePunishersSongOfEvangelionAndIMustScream The Punishers Song Of Evangelion And I Must Scream] - The DarthWiki version. Reads like [[Michael Bay|a shitty comic-based action movie]].
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/SugarWiki/MyLittleRainbowPrincessPrettyMoonShortcake My Little Rainbow Princess Pretty Moon Shortcake] - The SugarWiki version. Reads like a [[My Little Pony]] fanfic with magical girls.
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Pantheon/TropePantheons Trope Pantheons] - Tropers give various [[Anime|influential figures]] arbitrary titles and pay tribute with their [[Fantard|fanjizz]]. A bit unique, as it lacks self-inserts, and is instead a clusterfuck of a crossover.
*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TVTropesTheTVShow TV Tropes the TV Show] - The biggest chuck of shit in the crap pile. In a nutshell, this is one [[epic]] crossover-ish self-insert fanfic, and contains what you'd expect from a typical anime fanfic, from anime fight scenes to [[Harem Comedy|anime relationships]]. Overly elaborate for something that will never be made.

=== Troper Tales ===

[[Image:Trope-tan2.png|thumb|left|200px|Tropers are [[bullshit|very talented artists]].]]

{{Quote|This troper is 6'6, can beat up a room full of people by walking in, can bench press 4 elephants balancing on each others' backs, and is geared up for getting a First at Oxford. And invented C++. And TV Tropes. And the Sun.|The average Troper's Tale (for "Genius Bruiser"). [[Lie|Not a parody.]]}}

{{Quote|Whenever someone creates a new Troper Tales page, a kitten is put in a blender.|[http://tinyurl.com/TroperBlendKitten An apt description.]}}

After noticing that a lot of [[USI]]-afflicted Tropers kept dumping their [[LiveJournal]] [[diarrhea]] all over the trope pages, Fast Eddie did what he does best and created a [[ghetto]] for these pathetic basement dwellers to talk about how they're totally awesome [[Mary Sue]]s rather than just [[ban]]ning their faggot asses on sight. This section quickly turned into one of the most popular parts of the site, with each page growing more and more cancerous as the [[aspie]]s all try to out-bullshit each other. 

There was a time the moderators not only did absolutely nothing about people [[trolling]] in this section, but even outright said the section is dumb and a waste of time. While one would think this would have made the section a goldmine of lulz, in reality, it made it impossible to tell the difference between [[Cool story bro|cool stories]] and satires thereof. Full-on [[Trolls trolling trolls|lulz-blindness]] was inevitable. Also, [[None|what fun is trolling if you're not going to eventually get banned for it]]? 

As of February 2011, however, this section now has [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Administrivia/TroperTalesGuidelines proper rules of conduct] that discourages both outright bullshitting and trolling. While Fast Eddie did this because of his desire to make the site "family friendly" ([[money|for Google AdSense rather than his personal beliefs, of course]]!), he instead made trolling it a worthwhile endeavor once again. Get to work, boys and girls.

Some easy ways to [[troll]] this section are recommending [[Squirrelking|obvious troll fics]], disputing a work's inclusion through [[constructive criticism]], or pretending to be a [[FanFiction.Net]] hack and spamming a section with obvious [[shameless self promotion]] in hopes of provoking Tropers to raid the unsuspecting victim. essentially claiming "no, MY story is better than YOURS!"

=== "This Troper" on [[Jewtube]] ===
In the veritable spirit of mondo films and shock sites, a guy called [http://www.youtube.com/user/CrazyGoggs CrazyGoggs] and his pals have been voice acting the juiciest bits in Tropers Tales, exposing the [[lulz|underbelly]] of TVTropes.  Reportedly, making those videos have taken the toll of their sanity.

[[Image:ThisTroperAsshole.png|thumb|Fast Eddie, a butthurt asshole]]
The series even had a TV Tropes page for a prolonged period of time, until Fast Eddie went throught the usual proccess of discovering it, flipping his shit, and deleting it. Appearently you can feel free to abuse the "There Is No Such Thing As Notability" guideline to create pages on all sorts of sick and deranged fan-fiction and glorified loil-fanservice shows, but using it criticize the glorious motherwiki from within, is a danger to the community's "good" reputation and needs be to subjected to indiscriminate censorship for no other reason than "Dear Leader said so."

CrazyGoggs originally set a hard limit of 100 episodes, and the series was actually near its finale when Eddie deleted the article and made the "asshole" remark. Goggs responded by keeping the series alive beyond episode 100.  Well played Eddie, well played.

Oh, and you want to see the deleted article? you're [[TV_Tropes/Deleted_This_Troper_Article|in luck]].

== Forums ==
The few Tropers that understand the main wiki itself isn't a forum instead congregate on the official forum. Here is where one finds all the real drama because like any popular [[MMORPG]], it attracts the kind of loser that won't stop whining about [[WT Snacks|the good old days]] but can't work up the will to either [[stop posting]] or [[Suicide|administer 115 grams of lead to their brain]]. It's also where you can witness first-hand [[Ruining The Internet|the kind of social stagnation the site is bringing to the internet]]. While there are a couple dozen different sub-boards, only a couple are of any interest:

'''Trope Repair Shop/Wiki Talk''': Hotbeds of drama where discussions are held to irreversibly fuck up the wiki even more. Nearly all the major dramas stem from topics on these boards. They're also the only ones that Fast Eddie really reads, so those [[Troll|enterprising individuals]] looking to get a rise out of the big man himself before inevitably getting banned should focus here.<br><br>
'''Writer's Block/World Building''': Do you have an original idea you'd like to turn into a massive multimedia empire? Then stay the fuck away from here. All you'll find is the same unoriginal magical girl hackjob. In between people pitching the same [[weeaboo]] [[science fiction]]/[[fantasy]] retreads, there's the occasionally lulzy thread where they either demand [[constructive criticism]] or ask how to do some blatantly illegal shit because they're "writing a book". You can troll these sections pretty effectively by giving completely honest concrit regardless whether or not they ask for it, proposing blatant satires of tired anime formulas, and offering really bad advice.<br><br>
'''[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=5cma6iojg5o27puhulc24sje The Edit Banned Thread]''': This is where you go after you get [[banned]] for being anything other than a slobbering fan-boy/girl for one of the popular works spammed across the site and try to suck Fast Eddie's cock hard enough to let you back in. Because of the sheer number of false positives and impulse bans, this thread eclipses all others in pure, undiluted [[lulz]]. Be sure to finish up your latest [[sock puppet]]'s trolling career by making a stop here so you can get your open [[proxy]] the infamous [[Google]] redirect ban and ruin everybody else's fun.

''This section needs expansion''

== Subforums ==
The many different subforums are the lifeblood of the TVTropes forum, a haven of media-based content and information made by tropers, for tropers. It should come as no surprise, then, that they’re all irredeemably shitty in their own ways. These subforums have additional sub-subforums (which tropers mistakenly refer to as subforums, like true aspie retards). Naturally, tropers form niches, sticking to one or two primary subforums / sub-subforums and rarely venturing past those, most likely out fear of reliving their school days when trying to socialize with anyone other than their imaginary friends would net them a well-earned beating.

=== Just For Fun ===
Arguably the most popular subforum. As the name would imply, its purpose is that of a [[Gay|fun]], [[Insane|whimsical]], carefree environment where tropers are free to spew all the nonsensical bullshit their media-obsessed little minds can come up with. Unfortunately, rather than a lighthearted forum of fun, it comes closer to being some sort of savage virtual preschool, where [[manchild|menchildren]] roam wild, being constantly policed by inefficient mods that are at any given time either too lenient or too harsh.

*'''Yack Fest'''

Just For Fun’s main sub-subforum, Yack Fest is the embodiment of the Just For Fun mentality, where everything too inane or stupid for the rest of the forum is contained in a poor effort to maintain the site’s sterling reputation. In addition to being the dumbest collection of stupidity found online, it also serves as a virtual therapist’s office, where tropers of all sorts go to unload their problems on the unsuspecting public and feel slightly less lonely and useless.

([[Protip]]: Yack Fest is where the sick fucks of the site compare notes -- except the furries, who have their own [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=w0zwbsnmidl5bwrs8mue5yb8 recruitment counter] and [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=4he2cpuw3ba1det5oxuw4rqi clubhouse] .)

*'''IJBM'''

TVTropes landfill, where [[emo|angsty]] tropers post every little thing that irks them, from government-sanctioned [[torture]] to pop music (because it’s totally the same, amirite?). Cut to protect the site’s good, wholesome image, or some other bullshit. Can be found at its new location, [http://www.itjustbugsme.com/forums/discussions here].

*'''IJAM'''

The Sugar Wiki to IJBM’s Darth Wiki. The yang to IJBM’s yin. IJBM’s more retarded fraternal twin. Whatever you want to call it, IJAM is nothing more than saccharinely sweet opposite clone of IJBM, created just to “balance things out” and nothing more. Apparently, Yack Fest wasn’t annoying random and positive enough, despite its status as the official TVTropes hugbox / forum toilet. With IJBM’s deletion, TVTropes has found itself with two boards dedicated to inanity and pointless gushing with nothing to counteract them. Good going, Eddie.

*'''Troper Covens'''
Social misfits sorting themselves out in this freak show.  Also contains TV Trope's [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=wv320f1s27vtvtnfdf0gq7k7 Music Pirate Club].

*'''Old Folks’ Home'''

IJBM and Yack Fest’s lovechild, and spinoff of [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=9ms40p5nux72wrxajvu56v4u| what may simultaneously be the site’s most worthless and most self-righteous thread]. Basically, Yack Fest, only angrier and even less entertaining.

*'''Wild Mass Guessing'''

“[[My Immortal]] was created as part of an elaborate plot by the 8th doctor and Haruhi Suzumiya to use Stephanie Mayer as a pawn to enslave all tropers, via Everyone Is Jesus In Purgatory! It makes perfect sense!” Literally, that’s the entire board.

=== Media ===
[[Image:TVTUnpopularOpinion.png|thumb|Mod at work: protecting delicate tropers by [[Censorship|weeding out]] [[Truth|unpopular opinions]].]]

The subforum for tropers to discuss media they like and dislike, but mostly just where all of the forum’s flame wars start. Its main purpose is keeping rabid fanboys from ruining the site any further, making the Media subforum pointless as this is pretty much impossible to achieve.

=== Real-ish ===
A.K.A. that one subforum that everyone forgets about. It serves to give the more pretentious tropers (as if they could get more pretentious) a place to showcase their [[My Immortal|awesome writing skills]] and debate everything from politics to religion to how terrible ED is (until Fast Eddie issued an unofficial gag order on that subject too). Its most recognizable board is OTC, which is only notable for its inhabitants hating and being hated by all of the fucktards frequenting the Just For Fun subforum.

== [[lolcow|Types of Tropers]] ==

Before going into particular types of Tropers, there are two major groups: those that view the wiki as an encyclopedia and those that view it as a forum. The former are the ones that futilely try to keep the articles clean, free of off-topic bullshit, reasonably [[NPOV]] (or, failing that, [[Unfunny|positive]]), understandable by [[ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU SPEAK IT|outsiders]], and otherwise not full of failure. The latter usually [[fag]] up all the hard work of the former with [[Writing Yourself Into An Article|writing themselves into articles]] and [[Things to avoid|every other failing imaginable of a wiki]] while remaining utterly oblivious to their own toxic nature. The former '''HATES''' the latter with the fury of a thousand burning suns. 

[http://www.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/JustForFun/TroperTypes Here's their version of this list]. Apparently they piss themselves off, too.

=== The Fantard ===
[[File:TroperPleaseNoNatter.jpg|thumb|[[Hambeast|The average Troper]]. Even her Kermit doll commits suicide in her presence.]]
The primary source of the vast majority of edits, drama, and failure of the site. [[Fantards]] are not on the site to be [[Loser|good pop culture scholars]] so much as they find talking about their chosen object of worship in terms of tropes and memes makes them all [[Gay|warm and giddy]] inside. These people also typically think that their [[opinion]]s become [[fact]] by the simple act of being on a large wiki (this is only true on [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]) and start up [[edit wars]] if anyone so much as touches their textual blowjobs. 

While all fandoms are welcome to spread their love and the typically large ones like [[Star Wars]] and [[Harry Potter]] have an equally large foothold, a few have become emblematic of the site in particular due to [[Encyclopedia_Dramatica:ED_Is_Not#ED is Not *Chan|gross over-representation]]. The most notable include anything created by [[Joss Whedon]] (I.E., [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]], [[Firefly]], etc) Since the site was originally started by members of a Whedon fan forum, it's only natural that they still maintain a strong presence. As Fast Eddie is one of them, it's a given that he lets a lot more stupid shit fly when that oeuvre is concerned and criticizing it used to be one of the fastest ways to get banned. However, he revealed his greater loyalty to [[money]] by responding to people butthurt over the rename of Spikeification that visitor traffic went way up when people could link to it without sounding like retarded Buffyfags. At least nobody can say he's biased about who he screws over.

=== The "Entry Pimp" ===
The [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EntryPimp Entry Pimp] views the site as an [[MMORPG]] where they earn experience and gain levels by spamming as much unwarranted praise about their favorite show as possible. Typical Entry Pimp behavior includes [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NotASubversion using vague, near-meaningless buzzwords] and [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SquarePegRoundTrope contriving stupid bullshit] to make their examples fit. 

An infamous example of this brand of faggotry is an [[Aspierations|aspiring]] author named [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/PaulRobinson Paul Robinson]. Through [[Obvious|completely transparent]] spamming of his unpublished book [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/InstrumentOfGod Instrument of God], he basically inspired nearly all the rules they have concerning acceptable example section style through his antics. Oddly enough, [http://www.in-the-matter-of.com/instrument.pdf he actually put a 700+ page draft of his magnum opus online] and it's about as shitty as you'd expect of a work that somebody had to spam on TV Tropes to get noticed.

=== The Grudewanker ===
This type of fantard has a raging boner for a work as usual, but rather than wanting to make passionate love, they instead want to [[rape]] it [[in the ass]] like [[Bubba]]. While some might think this would be [[lulz]]y, what they invariably write are basically terrible, unfunny miniature [[attack article]]s for a piece of fiction instead of the boyfriend that dumped their [[loser]] ass. Like the garden variety fantards, they also get in [[edit war]]s over any attempt to remove their bullshit [[grudgewank]].

[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike TV] [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ComplainingAboutPeopleNotLikingTheShow Tropes] [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch frowns] [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FanHater on] [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Hatedom this] [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HateDumb faggotry].

=== The Oracle ===
The last time you [[Never|chose to go to a theater instead of pirating it]] off [[BitTorrent]], do you remember that asshole sitting in the row behind you? The one that kept trying to predict all the plot twists and when his one in four guesses came true, he would say "I KNEW IT!" and ramble about how those hacks in Hollywood can't come up with anything new these days? Well, TV Tropes helps this retard research all the possible plot twists and conventions while giving him a vocabulary of near-meaningless buzzwords so he can irritate you even more than the crying baby in front of you. Thank you, TV Tropes. You're a real benefit to society.

=== The [[Memefag]] ===
Belonging firmly in the "wiki as forum" camp, these are people who think TV Tropes is 4chan and feels the need to add at least a dozen of the memes from [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Memes/TVTropes here] to all of their text. They typically talk about their lives in terms of tropes, pothole "ironic" statements, and perpetrate cancers like "I Am Not Making This Up". They're the type that thinks a joke that was funny five times is no doubt funny [[Forced Meme|five thousand times]] and thus leave behind a trail of total [[unfunny]]. Unlike on [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]], these users typically never get banned or even so much as notified and other users have to waste their [[No life|precious time]] cleaning up their diarrhea.

=== The Obstructive Purist ===
Mostly frequenting the various administrative sections, these are people who think the site is exactly perfect as a pretentious lit-crit version of 4chan and any attempt to make it useful and accessible to normal human beings is a corruption of all the ideals that the site stands for. They're the ones that oppose every single action for no other reason than "change is bad", constantly talk about "the fun being sucked out of the site", act as though "because I like it this way" is a valid reason not to do anything, abuse [[Bureaucratic Fuck|red tape]] and undermine the system to prevent anything from happening [[Hypocrite|while accusing the same of everyone else]], derail topics into personal [[flame war]]s, and generally just retard all growth of the site through their douchery. They [[Logic|cannot argue for shit]] and generally rely on an [[Republican|"us vs. them" mentality]]. Since the default action to any inconclusive topic is "do absolutely nothing", it's completely in their favor to be obstructive, belligerent, confusing, and incendiary to try and wear down everyone else in order to prevent anything from happening. 

[[Poe's Law|The line between a complete serious purist and a really effective troll does not exist]].

=== The Creepy Fuck ===
{{Quote|Miss Piggy. Why, Frank Oz?! Why must you put a falsetto, male voice on a plus-size pig and make her the most attractive character on-stage?!?!|[http://fetishfuel.wikia.com/wiki/The_Muppet_Show A typical Troper admitting his/her lust] (off-site host; see [[TV Tropes#Fetish Fuel and Troper Tales Deletion.2FDeportation|here]])}}

Along with pandering to [[Why so serious|way too serious]] [[fantard]]s, TV Tropes has also become a haven for nearly every group of social [[DeviantART|deviants]] imaginable. Along with the expected [[paraphilia]]cs that [[fap]] to [[Rule 34]] of their favorite work, the site also hosts tons of [[transexual]]s, [[furries]], [[otherkin]], and every other imaginable mass mental fuck-up. They used to hang out on the Fetish Fuel pages and generally follow [[the xchan effect]]. Now that Fetish Fuel is no more, they continue to pollute the forums and have nerdy cybersex.  Rather than embarking on a [[Warhammer 40,000|mass cleansing of these heretics]], Fast Eddie instead encourages them by banning everyone that makes even the slightest gesture of [[fursecution]]. 

[[Image:MadrugadaPedo.png|thumb|Even your mod is a child-porn apologist.  '''Where is your god now?''']]

But the crown jewel of TV Tropes's perversity must be the large constituency of [[pedophile]]s: TV Tropes is likely the last public forum where the scum of the Earth can share their love of child sex without reprisal, even acting superior to "moral fags" who want to clamp down lolicon. However, as an open display of their deviant tendencies would cause Google Ads to cut off the money supply instantly, Fast Eddie had to delete/lock pedophilic articles such as [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Lolicon Lolicon], [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Shotacon Shotacon] (and their Troper Tales), [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AllPedophilesAreChildMolesters All Pedophiles Are Child Molesters] (an anti-[[Party Van]] rant tinted with [[Victim Complex]]), and [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PaedoHunt Paedo Hunt].  Ever since, pedo tropers have been [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12922529160A74746600&page=29 screaming] [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13064126940A56000100 persecution], as the rest of the community silently watch on, for fear that doing the right thing will harm the [[Shitting Rainbows|harmonious]], no-bile atmosphere of TV Tropes.

== Notable Tropers ==
=== Fast Eddie ===
[[File:TVTropesFastEddieED.png]]
{{Quote|Fast Eddie will shut that shit down}}
[[File:FastEddie.jpg|thumb|Fast Eddie, looking more like he belongs on a fishing boat than helming a website.]]
[[File:FastEddieForumAvatar.jpg]]
[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/FastEddie Fast Eddie] is one of the site co-founders, wiki [[Adolf Hitler|dictator]], and its most successful [[troll]] to date. He's marked by his [[Hypocrite|inconsistent viewpoints]], breaking of his own rules, his [[The Man|allegiance]] to [[money]] and [[advertising]] metrics over good style, and his total inability to work well with others. 

One of Fast Eddie's [[unrealistic expectations]] is his desire to counter-act the [[INTERNET HATE MACHINE|excessive negativity of the internet]] by [[FanFiction.Net|enforcing an overly positive tone and style on the users]]. As a result, he is very quick to [[ban]] people for saying anything that could be considered a [[Racism|prejudiced statement]] and does not like such words as [[weeaboo]] because they are "derogatory specifically in a way that is against our cross-fandom". Despite his desire to make everything fluffy cakes and rainbows, the next biggest topic he brings up besides [[money]] is how much he hates the average user of the site and would enforce more draconian measures to weed out [[Everyone|the bad apples]] if it weren't for advertising metrics.

Worst of all, he's extremely [[lazy]] about this and can't be arsed to rewrite anything, so pages he clears of examples will frequently still act as though they have them in the introduction. He also frequently breaks the formatting while deleting example sections on work pages. While he claims that he'll take requests to change locked articles, he typically just ignores everything unless it involves deleting even more swathes of text, which he is more than happy to do. Ironically, despite his willingness to mongle pages like [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EmoTeen Emo Teen] for being whiny slams against characters people don't like, he's more than happy to leave [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MarySue the way worse Mary Sue pages] open despite them also being whiny slams against characters people don't like. Double standard much? 

Fast Eddie is also very swift to silence any and all criticism of his actions or the wiki as a whole through judicious use of [[censorship]] and the [[banhammer]]. He deleted a checklist of tropes named after [[Shit nobody cares about|obscure]] characters, because instead of dealing with this abomination of fanwankery like a man, he pretends the problem doesn't exist. He also deletes threads about [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] on sight even if they hadn't devolve into whining over being linked to [[Offended]]... yet. This is shown to be a kneejerk reaction on his part because even when [[:File:TVTropesOneOffEDSock.png|a helpful poster suggested conflict resolution methods for ED]], he still purged the whole thread not even four hours later. Can't let the underlings think there's anything but unrelenting evil on this site, can he? He also frequently deletes discussion pages for controversial locked pages, although those usually get [[spam]]med to hell and back during the first week after he takes the ball and goes home, so little of value is usually lost.

[[File:EddieOnSecurity.png|thumb|Eddie, Not giving a fuck about security]]
Eddie [[Colonel Quaritch does not give a fuck|doesn't give a fuck]] about website security, storing passwords as [[WTF|plain text]].  Yet he is paranoid enough to ban whole fucking countries of [[Singapore]], [[Pakistan]] and [[Puerto Rico]] since June 2011, because all those squint-eyed [[Azns]] and [[spics]] were apparently dirty spammers. 

[[File:TVTropesFastEddieNoRespect.png|thumb|Fast Eddie revealing he's not so different from ED after all]]
Fast Eddie's extreme penny pinching is his biggest motivation for everything. While he can't be bothered to spend longer than five seconds censoring the latest negative article and [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12921861770A31063600&page=0# calls on the rest of the site to fix his fuck-ups], the threat of losing [[Google]]'s mighty advertising sent him into a panic and motivated him to fix dozens of problems in only a few days. This same service is also why he'll block porn tropes as much as possible and demand quick renames of anything Google's server might interpret as smut. To see just how far he'll go to save precious moniez, take a look at this gem of a quote from [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/archived_discussion.php?s_t=Main.LOLIcon the Lolicon discussion page]:

{{Quote|Putting images on these items that the ad server already flags causes the article to be dead weight, revenue-wise. The article works fine without a picture.|Fast Eddie cannot spare even 16 kilobytes of bandwidth for a "dead weight" article. That's 0.000001352 cents per visit if using Layered Tech pricing or 221,893,491 page views before he'll be denied a [[McDonalds|Big Mac]].}}
[[File:FastEddieIgnoreED.png|thumb|Fast Eddie urging people [[Don't feed the trolls|not to feed the trolls]].]]
[[File:EddieFUwhereyoulive.png|thumb|Fast Eddie: a man of 56, with the maturity and social tact of a boy of 8.]]

He also regularly deletes unused pictures from the server, purges old forum posts, and clears page histories older than a few months (which are already economized by only containing the changes as opposed to the full old versions like proper [[MediaWiki]]) just to save a couple precious megabytes of server space. Technically, this means any page with text [[cuntpaste]]d from [[Wikipedia]] or other [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike Licensed] sites is a violation of the terms of agreement once the part of the history crediting them gets cleared. He is, of course, confident nobody will ever bring up a [[Lolsuit|LOLsuit]] over this and he's probably right. His site is also a total nightmare of Search Engine Optimization, leaving the deep-link unfriendly "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/" URL structure in place because he has no faith in [[Google]], [[Bing]], or [[Yahoo]] bots to carry over [[Page Rank]] via 301 redirects and floods their results with useless pages because he can't be arsed to add a NoIndex tag to articles that haven't been written yet.

Fast Eddie's [[Work|day job]] is as a computer programmer for a "major video game company" ([http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12919188880A66117300&page=10#232 more specifically] as someone that "work[s] with [[:Wikipedia:Bayesian_network|DAGs]] for a living".  Based on his [[IP address]] it is most likely either Human Head Studios or Raven Software.  [http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3411591&pagenumber=151#post394390979 According to a TV Tropes moderator], he is "a contractor who works on NPC AI in games, generally as a team lead."), which explains why he [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/archived_discussion.php?s_t=Main.ZeroPunctuation does not liek game critics like Yahtzee]. In fact, his bitter hate for Yahtzee in particular is so strong, that he regularly breaks his own cardinal rule about no complaining, just because he can.

{{Quote|Cut yet another [[Video_Game_Reviewers#Ben_.22Yahtzee.22_Croshaw|Yahtzee]] quote. Let me put this as delicately as possible. The guy is a critic.

So remember, kids, if you just happen to be a middle-high profile [[Video Game Reviewer]], make sure to give every game from Human Head Studios and Raven Software a negative review, because it ensures that [[Dear Leader]] goes through another [[ronery]] night where he cries himself to sleep.

Ever since I outed myself, I can't go a single discussion without someone saying some kind of deragatory comment about it. I think I'm the only one on this fora who has been subject to slander against my fetish. We can have [[guro]] fans, [[Inflation art|macrophiliacs]], and [[fat]] fetishists, but how fucking dare you have a diaper fetish. Heaven forbid. Seriously, people, it's a god damn underwear fetish.

At least if my sister was getting raped, I wouldn't have to pay money for it, you know?


Just, God man, why did they let Shyamalan anywhere near the franchise? His movie repertoire is awful, he had no experience with anything like an epic action adventure movie, and frankly he is a bit of an egomaniac who likes to put himself into his movies. So what if his kids were fans of the show? You know what, I am a fan of the show, why can't they make me the freakin' director?! God I just don't even understand things anymore.
