Which makes me feel uncomfortable. It's like having a guy hiding under your table at a restaurant, waiting for you to say something embarrassing to a friend so he can record it.

I mean, I once commented on a youtube video and got a responce that consisted of "thistroperthistroperthistroper". And the video and comment weren't even related to Tvtropes.

    Wait, you use the same username for your YouTube as you do TVTropes?

    Is that the guy doing dramatic readings of TV Tropes articles?

    They're picking on things people said way back in '09.  That's cheap.

    In a way, though, I think this is for the better.  I mean, my instinct is to go, "No, Morven's not really like that, you're taking that out of context", but that's not really any different from what they do the rest of the time.

    I see what you mean in the OP though.  I'm certain there are things I've said back in the megathreads that I wouldn't want dug up and ressurrected.

    The Plainswalkers firmly believe everything but trope and work pages should be deleted, believing mocking the site will help them towards this goal. They (at least, whoever's running it now) hates There Is No Such Thing As Notability and thinks literary works should be given more attention than anime.



    Stop having fun, guys.

    I'm unclear on how mocking the Furries Club or Odd Confessions is supposed to help improve the Wiki, unless the forums are considered to be part of it.

    It seems to me that if they have a problem with the notability policy, they want a different site altogether.

    Well, certainly being the butt of the joke as opposed to lol, Troper Tales puts things into perspective.

    But that episode was one of their weaker ones. What's so strange about being interested in the Unabomber? After all, the USA has an unhealthy obsession with communism.

    Yeah, this is weird as shit. Mocking TT is fine (they're not really people), but this just seems kinda creepy.

    There was also one about the Furry Fandom thread, which kinda sucked too.

    Though the comments on that were hilarious because they had EponymousKid on them.

    I wonder how they choose what comments to use?  I mean, how is Tzetze's car accident story creepy, while my confession to wondering what I'd be like as a lesbian or my speculation about what it'd be like to have your eyelids cut off were ignored?

    I mean, obviously not complaining, but I'm not seeing what was so funny about some of the things they picked out.  Some of the posts admittedly were creepy, but the only things wrong with Tzetze's and Myrm's were the voices they read them in.

    I think a lesson is that anything you ever say on the Internet stays on the Net, just using Tv Tropes instead of (insert social networking site here).

    ^What Tzetze said is usually something you don't admit in public, no matter how true it is.

    This is why I stopped using my previous username on webpages, by the way.  Make it that much harder to tie things to my actual name.

    Actually, this reminds me of a related IJBM.  Making a new thread.

    Let's all just hope dearly that Fetishes gives them Archive Panic, and they don't do it.

    Personally, I hope that if they do Fetishes, they do one of the Mari Makinami swimsuit plugsuit fics.

    @ Abyss: But it's a thread called "Odd Confessions" (which invites you to say the kind of thing that you wouldn't say in public), posted on what was at the time still a relatively small forum.  It was implicitly not "public"; it was posted to a small community of known acquaintances.

    I think it would be kind of funny if they did Fetishes, if only because it might make the more sexual Troper Tales look tame by comparison.
  • RedEyedAbyssRedEyedAbyss
    I don't really agree with censoring people, and that's one of my problems with the episode. It smacks of intolerance.

    I'd say No Such Thing As Notability is part of why Tvtropes isn't a very useful reference. Want to see how a narrative trope has developed over time? TOO BAD, we're nerds here. Enjoy a long list of anime in random order at the top of every set of examples.
  • RedEyedAbyssRedEyedAbyss
    The anime thing is a moot point. Folders are automatically set closed for guest visitors.

    A scholarly approach to TV Tropes might make for an interesting read, but I think we can agree that it would be a very different project.

    You can change. You can.
    ^^Most importantly, anime is indeed influential. It can be too ubiquitous, but still, it is indeed a valid form of media.

    Also, if they think works of classic literature are underrepresented, they can write articles for them and add entries to trope pages, just like any other medium.

    See, the problem here is that we're assuming they really care about the wiki and that they don't see us nothing but comedy material...
