It's because it's a good idea, identifying patterns that recur in fiction. It's just under HORRIBLE management, as usual.

What do you guys think of my mother?

>> No.9079021

pretty informative.

it tells you what has already been done and if you're actually writing something and want to be original, you can't go wrong with reading up from there.

>> No.9079023

Used to enjoy wasting days reading things there, but recently found out about their anti-"porn" crusade and gave up on it.
It was funny how they were fighting for things like Game of Thrones with all their might though, even though it has plenty of the things they want to remove from the site.

>> No.9079043

Really awful site. A bunch of nerds who think applying really rudimentary analysis to popular media makes them more informed/educated than others in their consumption of media. Then they bring their shit to other sites so even though it's easy enough to avoid the tvtropes site you still have to deal with "troper" bullshit.

>> No.9079046

I'm pretty sure someone from /jp/ edited the Character pages for Touhou, because shortly after SoPM was released someone added JERKASS in a bolt font to Miko's profile. Seems to have been removed though

If you only read TV Tropes you'd think Dark Souls is the most difficult game ever made and KS the best written and deepest VN ever made.

>> No.9079070

I'm annoyed when the people who use it put some kinda inside word only they know about in posts (and properly capitalized!) like everyone is supposed to know what the fuck it means. Not everyone wastes time on your nerd-ass site, fag.

Everything from a certain size up goes that way.
The only way to avoid that is strict dictatorship, which some people have come to dislike.

So totally unlike every other online community, right?

>> No.9079383

It used to be fun, but it suffered from ``community degradation'' (this troper might add that as a trope later).

The whole idea is very autismal anyway. It's the kind of overanalyzing that sucks the fun out of fiction and media. I bet a typical TV Tropes regular can't watch a movie with his normalfriend friends without ``troping in real life'' every ten seconds.

>> No.9079389

Obviously /jp/ isn't a hivemind entity, but are there any communities that *aren't* completely hated here?

Apparently people even hate (non-GBS) Something Awful now. Though I haven't been there in years so it probably does suck.

"TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life"?
It's an old a topic of heated discussion. Accomplished authors described the analyzation as tantamount to ripping apart a flower in order to appreciate its beauty.
I personally find it does not add or substract from the raw entertainment value, but it can help understand a work better, and this understanding can sometimes be fun too.

I understand what you mean, and it can be entertaining to pick these things out and stereotype them and come up with examples. Like I said, it used to be fun. But once you get all "meta" about everything, it sucks the fun out of it. You know when you're having a conversation and there's an awkward silence and someone says, "Well this is awkward...", and then they follow it up with, "Haha, I bet I just made it more awkward!" then, "Oh sorry, that wasn't really funny...", "Oh god I can't stop LOL!". That's TV Tropes.

>> No.9079470

It was great up until their recent anti loli crusade which is absurd. They leave up Strike Witches and take down Lotte no Omocha? Someone's never seen Lotte no Omocha, or Strike Witches, or both.

Oh great, I see Rizelmine is still up because that's oh so much better than Lotte? right? Because bestiality rape is funny but oh god you see a 10 year old's panties once. But we can show nude 15 year old girls in Sailor Moon and that's ok because it's art.

Censorship is stupid especially on a site without images. Fucking dick shitting assholes.

Not just here, but in the entirety of 4chan.

Every community has implied rules that people will try to follow. This helps in changing their perspective, so they start to undestand everything in a way that gets "filtered" by their community.

In the case of TV Tropes, there's the whole "will ruin your life" thing, since regulars will change their vocabulary and see tropes everywhere. In the case of 4chan, there's a hatred for everything web-related that isn't from here, and people who actually like that stuff will sometimes comment on it in a defensive stance, such as "it used to be good but.." or "I only go there because...".

Personally, I love TV Tropes, if only because I find the amount of hatred in here to be intoxicating sometimes, and their light-hearted view of things is a good way to get a bit of peace. There's also the fact that I've been noticing cliches since a long time ago, and was always telling to myself "man, it would be pretty awesome to have some sort of archive for this shit", so for me it's kind of a gold mine. I don't go to the forums or read the discussions, though. I heard it's pretty bad there.

I agree that the site has huge problems.
But in general, I love analyzing stuff (no, that's not right, I LIVE analyzing stuff), so an abundance of meta does not matter much to me.

Or maybe I just don't want subhuman faggots to shit up the places that are actually good. That's why I never mention them here.
