There was some debate among the mods that the title is too confrontational.

quote:

In Fushigi Yuugi, a delirious Miaka mistakes Shouka's breast for a pork dumpling and attempts to chow down. She did it again, "against" the de-aged Subaru after she heals her.

In Street Fighter II, using Blanka's throw on Chun-Li results in this.

In BlazBlue, this is one of many things Taokaka tries to do to Boobie Lady's "Meat Buns"* Litchi's breasts.

On Family Guy Lois complained that Stewie bit her nipple as he was feeding. Brian offered to look at it.

How about this for a sandbox title:

Unacceptable Lewdness
Unacceptable Raunchiness
Unacceptable Lasciviousness
Examples Are Not Sensual
Examples Are Not Racy

Some of these might work well as redirects, too.

I'm attempting to use terms beyond "creepy". Again, people may not agree with what "creepy" means and Dont Be Creepy sounds confrontational because it's claiming that someone who just wants to describe a character's legs are some sort of weird perverted idiot who probably has to announce when he moves into someone's neighborhood. We don't want people to be "gushing" over their entries, but we shouldn't make it a morality issue. Nor should we use such insulting language like "probably typed while masturbating/with one hand". What people do, or don't do, in the privacy of their own homes is none of our business.

If it's none of our business, they shouldn't feel the need to inform us of it.

I can get behind a less confrontational title, whatever works, but I think you're being a wee bit more anxious about this than is necessary.

-smashes poo poo- GOD loving DAMMIT! FUCKI Ng, loving DAMMIT!

I'm not doing it for sympathy, I'm doing it because I'm in a BAD loving MOOD! SO SHUT UP!

Let me tell you something about "nice." You be nice to someone, before you know it you're caring about them, and then you get to be hurt. gently caress that. From this day forward I AM AN rear end in a top hat!

I'm not mature. I'm socially retarded and incapable of living a normal life as a consequence. I'm in an online relationship with a high school girl because I'm too messed up to interact with real girls. They all interact with me and treat me nicely even though they don't care about me. They just want to pity me so they can feel better about themselves! I'm damned to be a charity case for the rest of my life!

The only way to stop deluding myself into thinking I'll ever be loved is to stop letting myself care. Dehumanize the world down to the same level it's dehumanized me.

You don't get it, do you? All the times you talked about ending it all? It felt so good to see someone else suffering. I keep forcing myself to be caring and understanding, making myself be a good person so nobody would have to see me for what I am. No matter how much I try to escape it, I'm just as selfish and spiteful as my abusive enjoyable human being father was. The only difference is that I haven't had something happen yet to make me lose control and take a wrench across someone's skull.

No, I'm not. I hate you, PDAM. I hate you for having Pho. I hate not having him crawl to me for comfort in his loneliness. I hate my girlfriend for having friends outside of her relationship with me, and I hate that I keep pushing her to break out of her shell and make those friendships when I really just want to keep her to myself and be the only drug strong enough to dull her misery. The only thing I hate more than everyone else is knowing that at the end of the day, I have to be me.

Phoenixor and I were lovers once upon a time. We were both men and neither of us were gay so we knew it would never blossom into a Real Life relationship. Frankie came along and Neko brought the two of us together so I'd stop pulling this very pity routine. Frankie isn't mature enough to handle the kind of relationship I want and I find my time with her more draining than invigorating most of the time as I put aside my own issues to help her cope with life, even as she runs around having cybersex with the entire internet every time I dare try to trust her. Meanwhile, Phoenixor gets himself a wonderful new girlfriend and gets to be happy with her, meaning I no longer have someone more miserable than myself to crawl to me for comfort and can no longer be half as close to him as I want to be.

Childish. I act like a man, shove it all aside and try to look strong so the people I care about can lean on me, day after day, and when I finally have to let it all out I'm childish? Feh.

I just want everyone in the world to be there for me and lean on me and tell me how wonderful I am.

Basement Dweller posted:

A stereotypical Hollywood Nerd who, despite being a grown adult is still an adolescent right down to living with his parents. While the decor of their Poster Gallery Bedroom is subject to the tastes of the character, be sure there will be a computer to communicate with the outside world. It's always Played for Laughs as an acceptable lifestyle target. More importantly, the subject is Always Male. There is little stigma to a female character living at home, and in some cultures it might even be expected. This makes the trope a huge Double Standard against men as well (but see below).

The guys who are depicted in this condition usually fit into one of the following:

Lazy and unwilling to earn a living for himself.
Childish and requires everything to be done for him.
Can't get any and hasn't moved out to start a family.
Technically UNABLE to earn a living for himself. (i.e. unable to get a job)

Thank goodness those don't sound like nerd stereotypes, or we could be in real trouble. This trope has become much, MUCH less stigmatizing in Real Life, however, where the economy has been sending more and more adults back to their parents' homes. And if this article is any indication, this trope could even become discredited at some point in the future.

For a more serious treatment of this as a social problem, see Hikikomori. Not to be confused with Madwoman in the Attic. Compare The Hermit.

At lunch, a person ThisTroper was sitting with mentioned that a
friend of a friend has given eight-and-half blowjobs in her lifetime.The conversation then shifted as to how you could only give "half" a blowjob. Then if wether or not a girl (or boy) had to take the entire penis in her (or his) mouth for it to technically count as a blowjob,or if simply likcing the shaft qualified. '''Then''', since we rationalized that the person doing the blowing would have to use their hand to manipulate the organ at some point, would that be a dual-qualifier as a handjob as well, or is any hand-contact canceled out by oral stimulation? We were in sixth grade at the time.

Asexuality Troper Tales posted:

This troper has masturbated once, successfully (somehow. I can't recall how). But the story begans after the act is finished. The very thought of the act suddenly repulses me, and I start getting odd thoughts about having compromised with...a couple of standards. I clawed at my face hard enough to leave lines, lay awake in my bed for hours in the night, tossing and turning and generally feeling utterly disgusted with what I have done, got a nightmare, and still felt disturbed the following day. And that's why I never tried anymore. No, I don't get why my friends call me Rorschach.

Gee, that's an odd way to spell "mental illness."

I don't know much about Rorschach but I doubt he's anything like that.

Harmless Electrocution troper tales posted:

A while back, I was in the pasture with the horse and goats when I noticed a random cat. So I wandered towards it to see what was up/check for a collar, only I forgot about the electric fance. I didn't know anything was wrong until I noticed something smelled kinda funny, and it vertainly occured to me that my leg was spasming wildly. So I looked down and realized I was leaning on the wire, so I pulled back and stared at the fence in wonder. ...Then I proceeded to puprosely put both knees against the wire, which made the smell grow stronger and my entire body twitch. The only damage was that the horse was spooked, I was somehow laughing and crying and hiccuping all at the same time, and I couldn't feel one of my legs for the following three days. Interestingly, I was 16 years old at the time.

Fallout: TVTropes posted:

Trope. Trope never changes.

When a cleanup project swept the wiki, those who survived the purge did so in huge unmoderated forums. When they opened, the tropers set out across the ruins of the old wiki to build new pages, establish new wikiwords, form new memes.

As time passed, what had been the fanservice index united beneath the flag of the moderation team, dedicated to idyllic values of a hugbox and acceptance for all. As the hugbox grew, so did its needs. Threads opened up, seeking new members and posts, in the dry and merciless expanse of OTP. They returned with tales of a wiki untouched by the cleanup that had scorched the rest of the website, and a friendly environment that they called the Sugar Wiki.

The moderation team mobilized its forces and set out to occupy the Sugar Wiki, to protect it against the creepy posters. But from the Darth Wiki, another society had risen under a different banner. A vast army of rapists, forged in the spinning off of a separate website: Fetish Fuel.

Little time has passed since the mods held the website, just barely, against Fetish Fuel's pedophilia. The rapists did not retreat. From their own website, they gathered strength. Threads were posted, circles were jerked.

Through it all, the TVTropes wiki has stayed open for business under the control of its absent-minded webmaster, Fast Eddie, and his army of sycophants and administrators.

You are a goon, posting on Something Awful, to mock the failures of TVTropes. What seemed like a simple riffing job has taken a turn... for the worse.

Celery Face posted:

And yet some people go around saying he's a hero and a role model.

Really explains a lot about those people.

Lightning Knight posted:

Though, part of it is that Watchmen is big on presenting a world where everybody is an rear end in a top hat, ineffective or apathetic, or some combination of the two. Rorschach tends to be taken as more heroic than he is because he's the initial viewpoint character and the only one who consistently does poo poo that's (insofar as one can tell initially) useful to the plot, and thus he's easy to get attached to and say "hey, he's cool" so long as one takes the book at face-value. Since we all know tropers tend to take things at face value, and they tend to share a lot in common with misogynist, homophobic, Randian Rorschach, it's not hard to see why they empathize with him. Not to say that he's not a good character--Moore kind of overdid it with making him tragic, at the same time as noting that tragic or not, he's still a crazy motherfucker--but he's not really a great ideal. He is, if anything, an example of how ideals can go very, very wrong.

I'll admit, I used to think more highly of Rorschach than I do now. But the more you turn Watchmen over in your head, the more you realize that no, just because you've been effectively biased via viewpoint to like Rorschach, he's not really a hero. By comparison to the other people, he's not necessarily that bad, but he's certainly not good. He's insane, but he's at least trying to help, and he kind of sort of does, for awhile. Then things go to poo poo, but that's just because it's that kind of story.

Anyhow, figuring out that Rorschach is not, in fact, a good ideal role model takes more analysis than most tropers are willing to put up with. Funny thing, that.

PROTIP: Insulting a girl's friends, to their faces, right in front of the girl, is not a good way to make her like you. At all.



You would think that I would have learned my lesson by now (getting attention is not the same thing as being popular, insulting people does the former, not the latter), given that I spent a good chunk of yesterday angsting when I figured it out. And then today I pull this poo poo. What the gently caress is wrong with me?

I now only have a week to prove that I'm a nice person. And if I want to be an HONEST person (I do) then I actually have to BE a genuinely nice person. And, as a recently repentant rear end in a top hat who repented for romantic reasons, being a genuinely nice person is going to be difficult if not impossible.

And now I'm on the internet seeking sympathy I don't deserve. FML.
