Discuss TV Tropes itself, such as observations you've made about the site/forum/wiki.
NOTE: Keep it civil; try not to get into any Flame Bait-y territory, per the forum rules (in particular, drama importation and popcorn posting are not allowed, and this thread is for discussion about the site and not the users). In addition, while discussing the Edit Banned thread is not prohibited on its own, discussing and/or alluding to specific cases is not permitted.
One thing I've noticed is that for all how the page for They Might Be Giants claims them to be the unofficial official band of this wiki, there's relatively few people on this site who seem to ever reference them.

Of two things I'm sure, one, if that was the plot to the new deus ex game, it would be less stupid than the actual plots of those games. And two, it wouldn't make the game suck any less than they already do.
I think the Troper Tales on Brilliant, but Lazy were the main impetus for deleting TT. Before that, people would always cite that trope as a reason why it shouldn't exist.
This place seems to have a remarkable number of sane fans in otherwise horrible fandoms.
Case in point: the Kingdom Hearts thread.
Most editors on the wiki come across as extremely timid, susceptible to Squick reactions, and treating fictional violence and Spongebob Squarepants as Serious Business.
Then again, it's probably just me.

And, if the Nightmare Fuel pages are to be believed, we're also a bunch of pansy-ass...pansies.
Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.Also the Nightmare Fuel pages have a tendency to get really existential. My feeling is, if what is probably just a plot hole makes you think about the meaning of life, the universe and everything, you have some other issues.

The fridge logic/horror pages can be just a bad. Along with tearjerker (sometimes).
Nightmare Fuel page for My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic makes me actually feel ashamed to be a part of fandom sometimes.
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel....I think that page is due for a clean up.
Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.Hell yes it is
I raised the issue but it eventually went nowhere because of few outspoken fanboys.
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.I don't really see a point in messing with the page.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.We could just hurl it into the sun instead
Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.Bring out the fiery chainsaw.
Then they will just reconstruct it, that time even bigger.

I just think it's arrogant to proclaim yourself arbiter of what is scary/awesome/funny/heartwarming/sad/whatever. It's a YMMV trope, our opinions are irrelevant aside from the cleaning of Natter.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.Thank you, Mctagg.
Yep. That's the situation. Figure out how to not let it bug you, because "This is what I think/feel/believe. You may not agree." is precisely what "Your Mileage May Vary" means

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.That is why I never actually took any action. I am still working on figuring out how to not to let this bother me, though.
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.Tropers are just as likely to see the Tear Jerker and Nightmare Fuel pages as Narm as anyone else.
Nightmare Fuel pages are funnier than actual Crowning Moment of Funny pages. Special mention goes to the MLP FIM page.
If you wanna PM me, send it to my mrsunshinesprinkles account; this one is blorked.Especially the Tear Jerker pages, where the words "heartwrenching", "this troper", and "cried" tend to pop up quite a bit.

That feel when cbf.
