'''TV Tropes''' is a wiki devoted to discussion of [[Shit nobody cares about|tropes, plot devices, literature, trends and entertainment media]]. It is something akin to Free Online Liberal Arts College but with 20% more [[aspergers]]. Being a site that attempts to neatly sort art and storytelling into rigidly defined categories, it has naturally attracted a massive amount of spergdroids whose only aim in life is to catalog useless shit that no one else cares about. As a result, just as how [[deviantART]] breeds hack artists, [[FanFiction.Net]] breeds hack writers, and [[Stormfront]]/[[pol]] breeds hack Political Scientists, TV Tropes is a school for hack English majors and/or literary analysts who think that indexing something is the same thing as understanding it. Before it became Politically Correct™, it was much closer in spirit to [[4chan]] due to the average member's preference towards being an [[in-joke]]y social networking service and constant in-fighting due to allowing any and every [[fandom]] to run buck wild on the wiki. | '''TV Tropes''' is a wiki devoted to discussion of [[Shit nobody cares about|tropes, plot devices, literature, trends and entertainment media]].

The site was characterized by its high saturation of pretentious liberal arts wannabes, [[basement dwellers]], [[aspies]], [[weeaboos]], wannabe [[elitist]] pop culture sophisticates, "snarky" dumbfucks who substitute sarcasm for personality, hidden pockets of [[That Guy With The Glasses]] fanwhoring, and [[trolls]] milking them all for the [[lulz]]. It was also frequently mocked for its [[unfunny|childish]] attempts at meta-humor and lack of quality control. Topics ranged from how much everybody [[Fap|loves]] [[Doctor Who]], how much everybody hates [[Twilight]], long "philosophising" about mindfucked animu such as [[Evangelion]] or [[Madoka]] as if Nietzsche wrote them, arguments and whining over every little change to the site, and pretentious analysis of tropes and storytelling conventions. Think of it as the wikified version of a Postmodern Art Museum; though it may appear to be art and the critics may tell you as much, even the most basic analysis from a layman's perspective will reveal it to be a load of boring crap. | The site was characterized by its high saturation of pretentious liberal arts wannabes, [[basement dwellers]], [[aspies]], [[weeaboos]], wannabe [[elitist]] pop culture sophisticates, "snarky" dumbfucks who substitute sarcasm for personality, hidden pockets of [[That Guy With The Glasses]] fanwhoring, and [[trolls]] milking them all for the [[lulz]].

Before [[Al Gore]] and his greatest contribution to humanity, memes were controlled by a small circle of 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. | Before [[Al Gore]] and his greatest contribution to humanity, memes were controlled by a small circle of writers and poets.

In 2003, it was determined that an entire wiki should be constructed to contain these tropes, and thus TV Tropes was created. Originally a spin-off of a [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]] [https://buffistas.org message board] and limited only to TV, it soon gained its own website and expanded to other realms due to site owners Fast Eddie and Janitor's (now [[ironic]]) insistence of "as few rules as possible". | In 2003, it was determined that an entire wiki should be constructed to contain these tropes, and thus TV Tropes was created.

After years of allowing [[fantard]]s, weeaboos, [[furries]], [[sick fuck]]s, memefags, pedophiles, and unfunny [[newfag]]s to shit up the site, Fast Eddie (now the only leader) eventually snapped and started enforcing extremely draconian yet vague standards through the judicious use of the delete key, page locks, and teh [[banhammer]].

Look at Wikipedia and us at ED. Then take a look at TV Tropes. The latter looks like the prelude to [[WWIII|World War Three]] while the former looks somewhat cohesive. Why is that? Are EDiots and Wikipedos more organized and accommodating than tropefags? Of course not! Both Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Dramatica bombard the reader with a recurring slogan: "The Free Encyclopedia" and "In lulz we trust". Every EDiot understands that he is writing an encyclopedia of lulz, just like every Wikipedo understands he is writing a regular encyclopedia. Those wikis therefore becomes fairly consistent, even if they still are shit. TV Tropes has no such slogan | Look at Wikipedia and us at ED. Then take a look at TV Tropes.

TV Tropes has no such slogan except for "TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life" (which says nothing about its content), or perhaps the younger header of "THE ALL DEVOURING POP-CULTURE WIKI" (which does nothing but point out how nebulous as shit the site is). The closest thing it's got is the "You know that thing, where..." section wherein users can suggest new tropes. Registered users can show their approval by awarding new tropes a "hat," and if an entry gets five hats it can be launched after three days. | ||
This system is what's primarily responsible for the incredible bloat the wiki currently suffers from. Wikipedia generally avoids having pointless, crappy articles because of their notability requirement, whereas the only requirement for being listed on TV Tropes is that a handful of users say "yeah, okay." With such low standards, it's no surprise that there are currently hundreds of pages clogging up the site that even the spergs who obsessively prune its branches can't be bothered with (see: any page related to pro wrestling). | This system is what's primarily responsible for the incredible bloat the wiki currently suffers from.

TV Tropes, with their septic tank of fan trivia, 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 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 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. | TV Tropes, with their septic tank of fan trivia, 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 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).
