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]].

However, that was the past. Today, TV Tropes is nothing compared to its troll-infested lolcow past since [[Google]] grabbed FastEddie by his minute testicles and strongarmed him into imposing "[[Political Correctness|The Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement]]" or "[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/family_friendly.php Family Friendliness]". As a result almost [[Over 9000|99.9%]] of its demographic population has been expelled for suspected paedophilia, Asperger's Syndrome, edit wars on "the philosophy of Dr. Who", or offending minorities (mostly religious ones such as [[Christian]]s, [[Muslim]]s and [[Atheist]]s) because someone posted a link to the statistics on Muslim rape gangs in the UK. Though it once had aspirations of being something akin to [[Uncyclopedia]] or [[ED]], thanks to its recent attempts at pandering to internet | However, that was the past.
