op, you're not supposed to do that

>>93693461
>>93693453
>>93693434
And what, exactly, is wrong with tvtropes?

>>93693506
It's a site built around unbiased fact, but the community is unpoliced, tightknit and incapable of setting aside their personal opinions. So the neutral tone of it is undermined by users blatant agendas, which comes in the form of applying inherently negative or positive tropes to shows/games/etc. that the user either loves or hates. If a user loves a show, expect to see terms like "some anvils need to be dropped" in place of "anvilicious". If a user hates a show, you'll find "dude, not funny!" shoehorned into its page, even if the offending joke is one that only seems to bother the user in question. Opinion masquerading as fact is incredibly cheap.

There's also the fact that the entire site is just a collection of definitions with no real focus discussion or analysis. I've seen some decent stuff in the YMMV and Head scratcher sections, but for the most part it's essentislly just cataloguing. It cheapens storytelling when every possible component of a story is broken down into basic terms, some of which are inherently unflattering. The helicopter gunner scene in Full Metal Jacket is horrowing and iconic, yet according to TV Tropes it's just another instance of the "Obligatory War Crime Scene" trope.

It's also infested with weebs. It used to be really bad, where tropes were disproportionately named after Japanese phrases, even if the trope itself was not expicitly Japan related. Calling the basic "best friends" trope some weird nipspeak word is pretty confusing to those of us who graduated High School at age 18, and does not clearly indicate what the trope is.

And lastly, there's just something so obnoxious about the way they coin these names and then use them as if they're actual terms. It's the online media analysis equivalent of quoting yourself, aelewis style.

Also, Troper Tales.

>>93693851
The community is pretty awful but it's still a pretty decent, entertaining website for what it is. TVTropes introduced me to a lot of cool shit when I was a kid. I guess I'm biased.

>>93693862
No, anon, it helped me too. It has good qualities, I was just naming the shit aspects. I shouldn't be so hard on it.

I only quit because I realized that it was killing my sense of creativity. I was seeing redundancy in things that weren't really similar and it gave me the false impression that everything's been done and nothing more is left to be created.

That impression isn't false. As a popular Amazon redhead showed us all with a colorful show about toys, it isn't the premise that matters. It's the execution.

Well, you're probably better off. The show in question is a good example of what happens when a show is created by somebody who understands tropes and then subsequently taken over by people who don't.

Tell me about /co/, why does it hate the memes?

If we take the the memes out, would you die?

>>93693862
I like TV Tropes too, but it's community either takes it way too seriously or doesn't take it seriously enough, it that makes any sense. Also they have a pretty loose definition of Nightmare Fuel and Tearjerker, and always do the trivia page half ass.

>>93694779
Please go back to wherever you came from and stop trying to fit in, thanks.

>>93694850
I've heard they scrapped Troper Tales and the more NSFW pages because Bendis was super pissed at how critical the page on him was and threatened to get the whole site's advertising pulled.

>>93693862
>>93693862
But the pages are made almost entirely by the shit community, hence the shit website, Summer child. It's just fans pushing their shitty opinions asobjective fact, which are then even further enforced by shitty, biased mods. All of this coupled with their grating toddler-speak.

>She's a scrappy here at the very least.
Scrappy was added to a show that didn't have him before and was balanced without him. His creation came about because Bill Hanna had a huge jealousy boner for Warner Bros. and he wanted his very own Henery Hawk character except where he wasn't needed. On top of that while the original gang was mostly developed by a few people, Scrappy was created by committee like most /co/ creations to much the same result.

Mabel Pines was there from the inception, created and guided by one person and the most she has in common with Scrappy-Doo is that idiots here don't like her.

Except they did make that distinction, but people kept sneaking in real life examples into the fiction section. It wasn't meant to be an agenda, but trolls kept fucking around and they locked the page because it turned into the equivalent of a controversial Wikipedia article.

>>93693409
I never understood the hate for Scrappy. I actually liked Scrappy back when I saw him in Scooby-Doo as a child and I don't mind him now.

>>93701387
I don't know about you guys, but I think an episode of Star vs. significantly drops in quality at the exact frame that even a portion of Ponyhead appears on screen. Fucking annoying bitch.

>>93693851

You're wrong though, even though the community is shit the basis of the website (catalouging and describing tropes) is solid. If you want solid "trivia" then you have to go the individual wikis for the shows I guess, but tvtropes does what it does better than any other website.

The same things happens on Awesome, Heartwarming, Funny, and Tear Jerker pages

>>93702349
I don't quite remember and it's probably adjusted by now, but Base-Breaker implies they'd fit in for either ensemble dark horse or the scrappy for certain people already, which would make listing the same character in those two other tropes redundant.

>>93693409
ponyhead is the best character tho...

>>93702423
worse is if they use troper during the example

>>93693409
ANyone got Ponyhead as a human stuff?

>>93702426
Maybe it was a transition thing then. A character who started as a srappy, then got redeemed to base-breaking and then ensemble.

Or maybe it was simply a fuck up.

>>93693409
Wasn't Scrappy what saved the franchise because the kids loved him?

>>93703165
I say that it was because the older fans hated him.

This shit tends to happen more frequently these days.

>>93703478
It's funny that it's literally a meme to hate Scrappy as he was well loved when he came out and hasn't done a thing to ruin the franchise.

>>93693409

So this literally just means "character I don't like"?
There's not even any specific criteria, like being similar to the actual Scrappy-Doo where they're a new character introduced to "liven up" a show and/or get hugely overpromoted?

Pony Head is great outside of the two episodes that are just about her and Marco being cunts to each other. She's hilarious when she's just being Star's dumb bitchy hood-rat friend.
