The assumptions in that guy's post are stunningly oblivious too. "Labour jobs are all demeaning. No-one could possibly do it because they are good at it, enjoy it, and take pride in their work. Plumbing is just a stepping stone to something better! Because who would ever want to work outdoors or get their hands dirty?"

I can also guaran-God-drat-tee you a plumber makes more than any one Troper.

Another troper look on asexuality:

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.

Seriously, you probably should read Watchmen. On the other hand, it's hard to read "asexual but otherwise straight" as "Unfuckable and unwilling to change"

Snuff Film
Murder murder murder murder murder murder....
"They're just this side of snuff films, and friends, that's what's next because that's all that's left."
Wes Mandel, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
In our culture, violence is popular. So is sex. When people want to put forth a message about the values of our current society, they imagine what it would be like if both these valued qualities were blended and taken to the point where it's clear that anyone who appreciates the work has something very wrong with them, indeed.
Behold: the snuff film, a film where a person's death, the gorier the better, is captured on celluloid (or digital data in these internet-connected times) for someone else's...prurient interest. The snuff film has captured American imagination since the days of the Manson Family; in the aftermath of the cult's killings, the author of a true crime book on the Family put forth the rumor that they had videotaped their killings, inadvertently creating the term "snuff film." It wasn't true, but when American producers brought the Argentinian horror stinker Slaughter (based loosely on the Mansons) over to America they retitled the movie Snuff, tacked on a new and gorier ending, and launched a viral campaign that someone had actually been murdered on film as part of the movie.
What makes a snuff film is often up for debate. Whether it just captures a death on film (like the tapes put forth by terrorists that show people getting their heads cut off), is released for a commercial motive (like the Traces of Death franchise), or has to include sex and death is up in the air. This is mainly because there's no such thing as a "true" snuff film � according to the FBI, no such thing has ever been made. To clarify this point, the FBI defines a snuff film as depicting a murder that was committed for the primary purpose of being filmed and commercially distributed. While films of actual murders do exist, the FBI doesn't consider them snuff films because they either have a different motive (i.e. films of executions by terrorists which were distributed to sow fear rather than make money) or were not intended for distribution (i.e. a murderer makes a tape of his crimes for personal use and it leaks out after his capture). Then again, as long as creators have a message to make about sex and violence, the snuff film will exist as a model for what happens when things go too, too far.
To reiterate, snuff films exist in the realm of myth and legend. While many petty criminals have been known to film their own crimes, none have been so foolish as to film a crime for which they could be executed only for the purpose to film and distribute it (save for a possible exception in the Real Life section below), and no such film has ever been commercially distributed.*
Snuff Films that depict this stuff happening to animals rather than humans are called Crush Films, because the animal is typically shown being crushed to death.
See also Gorn, Murder.com, and Video Nasties.

Seven examples in anime, nine in comic books, 22 in film, one item under Pornography, and thirty-odd real life examples of death on film. Under half of them have anything to do with the actual concept and are just a list of things to give Michael "Mookie" Terracino and his ilk a list of new things to jerk off to.

Actually, one of my basic theories about TVTropes is that Eddie is some kind of libertarian hangover from the 60s/70s (he's about old enough) and runs the place like the worst commune you can imagine that doesn't involve Charles Manson.

I'm pretty sure that saying "artistic license" to a Troper is like showing a cross to a vampire.

It's not even artistic license, nobody in the US used a Maxim gun until, like, WWII.

Man, these are bad. And they can't even get their memes right; the "Sandvich" badge, a TF2 reference, has "delicious and moist" as the description. But that refers to a cake, from Portal, so that's wrong. Also, I don't think anyone wants their sandwich to be "moist".

Also, there are bronze, silver, and gold lampshade badges, which cost a little more than most badges. How much more? Well, the bronze one is ten "tropies" rather than one and a quarter. And it goes up from there. Twenty-five and fifty for the silver and gold, respectively. Isn't it a dollar for each "tropie"? Who would pay fifty bucks for this?

It's all just so bad.

For those who don't want to click, Eddie cut the tit index because of the "family friendly wiki" thing, so naturally Tropers are gathering all the tit tropes in order to overload the anatomy index.

Not really terrible, just very troperish.

"Troperish" is a subset of "Terrible"
