for anyone who is unaware what "moe" is:

GATOS Y VATOS posted:

A good friend of mine in Osaka took a year of ikebana (flower arranging) classes. He found out that apparently the word 'moe' is a term that comes from ikebana traditionally. The term moe is for a flower bud that is just starting to bloom, but not quite yet. so animu nerds took it and applied it to girls. yes, moe literally means pre-pubecent, so it is nothing more than more creepy paedo poo poo.

'Trope' is wanker's way of saying 'cliché'. It's a website that celebrates clichés.

technically it's a site made for autistic children that forcibly reduces fiction to tags so it's easier to think about

No, it's a word from literature studies to denote the elements of genres and subgenres that found its way out into the wild and got exploited by a bunch of TV-crazed twentysomethings, over and over.

I'm glad you're some kind of art school kid and know what "commedia dell'arte" means. I'm a normal person who got a real degree and I find it entertaining to read TVTropes pages for video games and movies I have played or seen.

This is a really good YOSPOS post.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

A lot of the tropes are a huge loving stretch. I think people just want to write poo poo for the sake of writing poo poo so gently caress them.

You have an anime av and are you loving ragging on Firefly you piece of poo poo?

there's a big difference in liking anime/whedon stuff and 90% of tropes names being in Japanese or related to Whedon stuff imo

I like reading TVTropes for what it is, just some site on the internet. It kind of reminds me of "Jump the Shark" before it went to hell. It don't love it or take it seriously.

But when you pull back the curtain and look at all the "tropers" and the extra sub-pages... :stare: So I avoid that.

I agree with everything else you said, but this jumped out at me: "like "men's rights" types (which in practice means 'gently caress women's rights' types)" That is what is called a strawman. Those types definitely exist, but so do types of feminists who say stuff like " I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig." The difference between the two is that the former tends to be hated and acceptable targets to just about everyone, including both of most male and female MRAs, the latter type tend to be more critically acclaimed and held in higher esteem in their respective movement.

Besides the fact that some SA superstar (perhaps Lowtax himself) once said "TVTropes sucks" and goons are incapable of independent thought.

Feb 10, 2007

i liked when tvtropes was just a way to kill time by clicking on one article and seeing which links would appeal to you enough to click them. then people started to make a whole community out of it and it turned to poo poo

i don't even care about it anymore, and i think a lot of goons feel the same way, but you gotta keep PYF buzzing somehow

Hello Meow

I follow the PYF thread and it's a good place if you like to internet peoplewatch a bunch of creepy fuckups. They kind of only post the worst of the worst in the thread, since most tropers are just harmless, boring nerds and there's only so much you can get out of making fun of somebody for really liking Buffy. But goddamn there's a lot of gross poo poo right below the surface.
