You could tell her that yeah some of the site is interesting stuff like the article on Easter Eggs in video games, but it doesn't make up for the ridiculous/pervy/insane poo poo Tropers are known to do. A glance at the creepy fetishes, rampant sexualization of children and works designed for children, a harsh discouragement of literary analysis in favor of more lists of different types of rape, and the monumental obsession with mediocre works at the expense of great ones (pedo fanfiction and furry webcomics get just as much or more screen time as Leo Tolstoy?) should drive reasonable people away. The last bit being key. This is assuming that your sister is reasonable.

1984 is my favorite book and I hate to see Tropers mangle it."SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped posted:1984's epilogue has arguably the most important message in the book: Tyrants aren't invincible, no matter how tight a grip they have on the populace. The Party may claim to control reality, but it doesn't, and reality will always have the last laugh. Therefore, even though Winston doesn't live to see the Party fall, his efforts were not futile. The tighter a dictator controls his subjects, the sooner his dictatorship will collapse under its own weight.

Kaboom Dragoon posted:I vaguely remember that story. Something about how one of the female characters was suffering from a curse or some horrible disease and the only cure was a raping? I only know about it from a friend at the time trying to justify it at great length.   There are so many bafflingly bad elements to this comic that there's no wonder there were multiple threads dedicated to mocking it.

Apple Tree posted:Which conveniently protects the mods from having to make any judgement calls. It would make analysing Deep Throat a bit difficult, though; in the Kermode documentary, one of the interviewees actually called Traynor 'a villain'. Traynor himself cheerfully admitted battering his wife with about as much compunction as most people would admit hiding cookies they didn't want to share with their wife, but hey, let's not be controversial about it!

Creator Backlash, Writer Revolt and Unwinnable are three pages I unironically enjoy. There's some cool stuff in TV Tropes that makes you wish the whole site could have that level of quality instead of jacking off to ponies, pontificating on childish anime series, and listing six hundred different types of rape.

Lottery of Babylon posted:I thought the problem with Other M wasn't the presence of a story but the way Samus was weak, blindly followed orders, and wouldn't activate harmless, useful abilities like "make my suit acid-resistant" until her boss gave her permission? None of those were present in previous games. The problem wasn't "a story exists". Also re: anime pedo incest poo poo, is it any wonder that we have this emoticon?

Anime/Wild Mass Guessing posted:All anime takes place several million years into the future after a major cataclysm destroys all life forms larger than a cat (basically, the extinction of dinosaurs, but with humans). Another sentient species evolves from the aye-aye, and develops a society quite similar to our own. What we think is a stylistic rendering of homo sapiens is actually a realistic rendering of humans' successors. Anime producers and mangaka are actually a society of time travellers who have seen this new species for themselves.

Some completely bugfuck tropers posted:That would explain the Over Nine Thousand quantities of erotic 'Hentai' from Japan (that includes Moe and Naughty Tentacles), and why Anime looks too Uncanny Valley. During the time of the Empire of Japan Anime wasn't so much popular. In fact, the Japanese instead raped massive numbers of Chinese people during WW2. After Japan lost the war the US stripped them off their imperial military, meaning they cannot rape foreigners anymore. Meanwhile, Geishas were expensive, and the middle-class don't want to spend so much money after Japan was nuked. The solution: make idealized portrayals of foreigners and Rape 'Em!!!! quote:Oh! That also explains all the But Not Too Foreign characters. First, idealize foreign characters. Second, rape them. Third, they get preagnent. Fourth, rape them while preagnant. Fifth, they give birth to half Japanese children. Sixth, rape them too (this step is Lolicon and Shotacon. Seventh, they grow to childbearing age. Eight, rape them again. Ninth, they get pregnant... All while still raping more idealized foreigners on the side.

Scum A killing Scum B doesn't make Scum A good just because Scum B is worse then Scum A. 1 wrong + 1 wrong ----------- 1 right

Gen. Ripper posted:Oh for Christ's sake. Of course they had to throw in a scenario where the girl is an evil dirty manipulative slut toying with the poor helpless pedophile, because to do otherwise could imply that *gasp* there is something wrong with people who get boners over 12-year old girls!! (i.e. 90% of TVTropes). Tropers must think of themselves as intelligent, handsome pedophiles like Humbert or Roman Polanski and not the insane creepy nerds they are.
