To be fair, it's one of the worst trope names on the site, possibly the most difficult to remember.

>>95265434
what don't you understand? you can make a character seem more badass if you act like they've been holding back the entire time

it's an easy way to raise the stakes

>Character has self imposed restrictions due to fragility of world around him/her (Note: cardboard is fragile)
>Circumstances become dire enough that they remove the restrictions

I don't get TvTropes.

I don't get why Troper Tales was shut down, despite being the only good thing to come out of that site.

No way!

>>95265673
It really isn't

They should make a non-autistic version of tvtropes. It has a neat concept and the trivia can be fun to read, but it's written by such absolute childish shitheads it ruins everything.

>>95267084
It really, really is.

>>95267107
>non-autistic version of tvtropes
Who would populate the entries?

>>95267107
I like the concept enough but I'd like it if they had more quality control. I literally just read the continuity reboot entry and had Kamen Rider fanon in it.(and the page example is wrong, though its a common mistake when using the word "reboot").

>>95267107
>non-autistic version of tvtropes
I get where you're coming from, but it's simply not possible.

It's like the Wook. It can't possibly exist without its own autism.

>>95266993
What was the whole Google incidet about? A lot of the trope names were changed, right?

>t. lazy guy

>>95266993
At least we still have the videos

>that time they purged anything that wasn't G-rated
>it included Lolita (novel)
>mod went on record saying it had nothing of value to anyone
>went on to become tumblr tropes

>>95267108
It really really isn't. It's easy to infer what it means by the name of it alone.

>>95267364
I wasn't able to figure it out by the name, though I'll admit I figured it out pretty quickly because I can read

>>95267721
Scanners was an alright movie that's often overlooked, yes.

>>95265434
always check the laconic page

that's it.

To be fair world of glass would get the point across beter
I usually relate cardboard with poverty or something unoriginal

Laughing at them was some of the funniest shit out there. God I wish I could've seen it go against tumblr at some point with their inane bullshit

>>95269104
Laconic and playing with tabs are always the go-tos

I got so hyped when I saw superman let loose. Years later I realized he could have solved every problem instantly and every single time he gets bopped for damage and floats away in pain he was just pretending.

>>95266993
Troper tales was pure unadulterated and unsolicited cringe

Wow. I thought the world of cardboard is supposed to be about how everyone and everything is blowing up buildings/mountains/forests left and right so easily that the world may as well be made out of literal cardboard.


Because that one quote is REALLLLLLLLY specific to be a trope.

>>95271016
I thought it would be something about how the world is all fake, as if it were cardboard cutouts

>>95271150
The naming itself is pretty dumb because it's describing a chuuni type of trope.
> They haven't seen my true power when I've unlocked my limiters
is chuuni AF.

it's a reference to this scene
