    Nah.

    Hey, I don't care. I don't care so much I let you know I don't care. I so don't care that I care even less than when I don't care. I really don't care. I care so little I'll post in the next few pages to reiterate my lack of caring. I don't care OKAY.

    The real question is why we should care about the opinion of SA, of all things.

  • Trash_VortexTrash_Vortex
    Because reputation matters? Do you just ignore what people say?

    Why do we care about our site's reputation, again?


    Because trollbaits.

    Except, oh Bioluminescent Cephalopod, I said that I barely cared, not that I didn't care at all.

    Because you never know what you might see.
    I care because sometimes I can't help but think they have a point.  I mean, I couldn't care less if they think TV Tropes needs to stop featuring webcomics or fanfic, or if they think tropes are an inherently flawed concept or whatever, because that means that the principles behind the site just don't appeal to them.  That's cool, it's not going to appeal to everyone.  But I mean, I only skimmed some of that thread, but some of the stuff they're quoting is pretty fucked up.

    Edit: Oh, seen this, Myr?  Something you can feel smug about. :P

    You completely missed the point of my question.

    Oh wow, I was closer than I thought. It's a complete circle jerk of "Who care what other people think?"

    Couldn't agree more with this statement, to be perfectly honest.

    Or what Bobby said.

    I think it is kind of silly for users on one site to criticize users on other sites like in that SA thread that was linked to here by Myrmidon. I feel like it is much easier to complain about an entire userbase from the safety of another forum, but I could be wrong about this.

    That being said, I thought most people on the TV Tropes forums disliked Troper Tales anyway. I guess I base that off of discussions of it in the forums, especially how people talked about the 33 pencils story. Now I am not totally sure what the consensus opinion on Troper Tales is there. Personally, I would like to cut out the more annoying/creepy ones, but keep Troper Tales until there is compelling evidence that the wiki can keep "this troper" type stuff off of the main pages. There might be a way of doing that effectively without keeping troper tales though. If so, I have no emotional attachment to those pages and I would be fine with seeing them go.

    As for whether we should care about TV Tropes' reputation, I think we should care only to the extent that it is actually going to affect the wiki. Basically, if someone on a another site brings up a good point about how certain parts of the wiki like Troper Tales turn people off of the wiki, I think it is worth listening to that opinion because of its merits. In general, I guess I think not listening to what other people think about a site is only a good idea if they are generally spouting nonsense (which I do not think is the case here) or if the site does not want more traffic and new contributors.

    I read that thread for a bit, then I saw a thread called "Post your favourite dicks" and just went in there instead.

    You know what? At this point, fuck Troper Tales. I really can't see any more good out of it.

    While I wouldn't mind it if Troper Tales was deleted altogether, the thought of the inevitable backlash from that makes me reluctant to the deletion idea.
  • Central AvenueCentral Avenue
    It wouldn't do anything about the This Troper videos anwyay. They've already made videos with Wayback Machine for stuff we've deleted.

    Huh.

    This is a fun thread. I didn't post in it, or post it, but it was a nice read.

    Totally. That makes it perfectly OK for us tropers to list her in Audio Erotica, then, because she's a girl, so we're TOTALLY STRAIGHT.

    From that SA thread:

    (some Troper Tales entry:

    This Troper is a cross between Manic Pixie Dream Girl, Cloudcuckoolander, The Stoic, The Smart Guy and Deadpan Snarker. No, I don't know how it works, either! She wants to major in astrophysics and double minor in theatre and Roman history. Don't ask. I'm a deadpan snarker and stoic inside my own head, although I will do whatever I want outside my head. If that includes jumping up in the middle of class, begging my history teacher if please please please please please can we take a two-minute break because it's snowing for the first time this year and I want to dance in it?! and wearing things like a pink flapper hat, a black-and-grey striped gothy dress, hippie-esque jewelry, and black tights with ballerina shoes (not ballet flats; her roommate's legit toe shoes) to class. On the other hand, I can out-snark everyone I know, and am ridiculously cynical- I have decided that since humanity on the whole is quite boring, I will simply create my own amusement. I will sing- very loudly- while playing center midfield on my field hockey game, simply because it confuses the other team when an opposing player is singing strange songs at the top of her lungs while twirling her sparkly-blue-hockey-tape-decorated field hockey stick. I am known for being somewhat of a pathological white liar; no-one ever knows quite what I had for breakfast, even if they do know my deepest darkest secrets. I also have the highest GPA in my school, which is probably the only reason my teachers tolerate me, seeing as I'm famous for doing papers the period before they're due and never studying for tests (until my grades start dropping, then I actually work). My friends know the line "Hey, I'm bored! C'mon [name]-" * grabs [name's] wrist* "-let's go cause havoc!" is to be feared. It usually entails the like of organising treasure hunts, delivering candy to random classes, or coating someone with sparkly glitter. But the people who think I'm constantly peppy and upbeat are usually quite confused when they hear my cynical rants- which are usually delivered in a peppy, upbeat tone.

    .....

    ....Am I a horrible person for finding this girl incredibly Moe and adorable?

    Actually, that perfectly describes me. All it needs to add is Brilliant But Lazy and Badass Longcoat. Just make sure never to break 33 pencils around me.

    Was that "breaking pencils" "entry" ever a real entry in a real TT page? I highly doubt even tropers could be the fucking dumb.
