that is a textbook definition of a trope, though
which is using a red-colored maine lobster in fiction for the sake of audience familiarity
It's written in an annoying way.
>making a thread because the verbiage triggered you
homie you're (or if you're actually a separate poster, both) just as fricking moronic
I think it's fairly informative if a bit smug
Meds now.
That wasn’t even a schizo-post.
Yeah, I'm with you. It was pretty unbearable.
it is, and it repeats itself for some reason but it gets the point across
are you autistic?
Imagine an alternate universe where instead of TV Tropes, we have a website called Movie Metaphors. Because of Movie Metaphors, people start misusing the word “metaphor” to mean “storytelling device”. That’s basically what happened with TV Tropes.
>misused
Using a word in a creative way isn’t misusing it. Is calling a security guard a “mall cop” misusing the word “cop”? “TV trope” is just a creative way of saying “storytelling device”. It’s not their fault people started thinking that’s what a trope actually is.
People in Maine pitched a fit when the state came out with a license plate showing a red lobster instead of green
And what of the Canadian Lobster Wars?
The lobsters are depicted as red because it pops out from the blue ocean background better.
And it could have been a single paragraph
>they used too many words with 3 or more syllables
why are amerimutts like that
Shut the frick up; you know damn well it is not the usage of ten-dollar words that is at issue here. The issue is that someone with profound Autism wrote this. It gives detail it does not need to, it is repetitious, and it takes too long to get to its overall point. It is supposed to be written like an encyclopedia, while academic reference books can be long winded they are written - for an expert in the field.
A general-purpose encyclopedia should be - Trope (name) - Lobsters in media are always depicted as Maine Lobsters, and are always bright red. Lobsters are only this color when cooked. - Done.
Wow, you don't need to explain why they turn red, or that they come in different colors or types; the trope is done and then you could move on to examples or explain why the trope is done.
I feel like it's the phrases like "However, most people don't know this." or "to put it in non-scientific words" that makes it obviously written by an autist not the overly detailed explanation
Wouldnt the brief to-the-point description go under the "Laconic" section?
Holy shit I've never seen a galaxy lobster before
Man lobsters are cool.
That boi is SLAYING!
Holy frick Europa-Pean Lobsters actually exist
The cinnamon roll of lobsters
Great now even lobsters are turning trans!
bisexual erasure
The ocean has fallen. Krillions must die. I would've used the fish basedjak drawings from that one thread but I cant find it
Sebastian is a crab and there’s a half dozen species of crabs that are naturally red.
As an author I value that site as A) a good research tool to quickly check just how unoriginal your "genius" ideas are and B) a harmless outlet for worryingly obsessive consumers of media
Just use Wikipedia.
Most of tv tropes is made-up lunacy I mean what the frick is this nonsense
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrossesTheLineTwice
Strangely I agree with this. I remember being shocked by the beginning of The Naked Gun and feeling bad for the poor policeman who drowned, but after a while the violence became funny.
Agree with what, just look up the examples, they're not consistent with each other cause no one knows what the frick this "trope" means
the trope description is fine, it's the examples as you showed are the moronic ones because of autistic users
True
That's the pot calling the kettle black.
how
more often than not the problem usually is in the excitable autistic users trying to fit something irrelevant than the description itself
I meant that a Cinemaphile poster calling a TV Tropes editor autistic s like a pot calling a kettle black.
Not really, because at least the Cinemaphile anon is self-aware. The TVtrope homosexual is the worst kind of autist, the CWC types.
self awareness doesn't mean shit
it's like saying you're just pretending to be moronic
Speaking of ass-burgers, are the mods still on their iconoclasm crusade, or are normal people allowed to contribute again?
the original mods are gone
Happens way too often
it's what happens when a fanbase is very "excited", see ponies, spiderverse, sonic, etc.
What's a Nostalgia Critic quote than can go along with this?
Build that wall
Do they still obsess over him and Channel Awesome even after the site fell apart when it was revealed that Doug was an incompetent idiot who had no clue what he was doing and covered up that israeliteWario was a pedo?
Probably, because it turned out that people on Change the Channel were covering it up
did they ever get rid of those autistic awesome and sucky moments pages? They were subjective as frick to begin with they should’ve just been a forum category or something
I think they still do but they try to downplay it by (badly) pretending to be neutral on him. Hard to explain but you’ll know it when you see it
They turned “Crowning Moment of Awesome”, “Crowning Moment of Funny”, and “Crowning Moment of Heartwarming” into “Awesome, “Funny”, and “Heartwarming”.
honestly mouthful and reeks of late 00's title
Crowning was removed because it only implied the best examples
And Most Triumphant Example was removed so that users couldn't gush over or shill their chosen thing over other things
>jew
>pedo
every. single. time.
>Doug was an incompetent idiot
I always thought that Doug (and James Rolfe) was just a guy having fun with his hobby and then tried to see how far he could take it. I wouldn't call him incompetent but out of his depth.
>JewWario was a pedo
Do tell. Idon't know much about Doug's friends and Channel Awesome itself.
No no, you need to be looking for a forgotten 00s fantasy webcomic to quote instead
This is pretty much similar level of inaccuracy most people don't care about as say, a female bird looking like a male bird because the male is much better looking in reality.

>trope does not apply in this situation
>it's put in the page anyway as it was subverted by doing so
Gay
Don't see what's so bad about this. I didn't know that red lobsters were practically non-existent until pretty recently, so I could see how pointing it out could be useful information.
Don't get me wrong, TV Tropes is definitely chock full of cringey autism, untreated aspergers, moronation, shitty geek feminist trope pages, and other kinds of annoyingly autistic hyperfixations but this one isn't really worth criticizing.
OP is simply just as autistic as TV Tropes users but lacks the self awareness to realise he's sperging at nothing.
That's why I like this old Swedish children's comic Teddy where the bad guy catches fresh lobsters, puts them to sleep, paints them red and sells them to the protagonist to frick with him as they wake up during his lobster party.
Death to America
And buttersauce!
>Brownish green
It looks fricking red, it just gets brighter with cooking.
Semantics autism has been a plague on the human race.
I don't give a frick if it's technically correct, only autistic incel freaks worry about what is or isn't technically correct, frick you.
homie these are orange-black with a sprinkling of wood-green and pus yellow. Nothing in this image is red
I really don't know how those bugs made it into fine dining.
They taste like shit.
Lobster used to be considered a poor person's food. Many servants in New England even made it a condition when they were hired that they would not have to eat it more than twice a week.
From what I can tell, it's an excuse to eat a lot of butter
It really is interesting. They used to be food for the peasants and were regarded as "wienerroaches of the sea", then suddenly they become high class dining in the 1600s. They are still regarded as disgusting in many cultures outside of the West, read some blog about this guy who travelled to a fishing village in Somalia and just picked up lobsters from the beach and and all the Somalis were shooting him weird looks when he started cooking and eating them
It’s fun and picks up on small things sometimes but where is someone supposed to go to see what shows have panty shots or when there’s a new one? And other tropes they keep deleting
>Says the guy who uses this phrase at every post thread.
Are they related?
Believe it or not, in its' og incarnation, tv tropes was funny. The humor overlapped heavily with this board's culture and pointed out a lot of writing cliches.
Then homosexuals discovered and descended upon the place in droves. Old articles got edited so all the funny parts were removed, or replaced with limpdicked inoffensive jokes, and the whole site started taking itself seriously by imitating wikipedia.
Then what's worse is endless articles began to be created about any category of any thing. Redheads with blue eyes. Men with black hair. Tall characters.
The dumbfricks churning out this waste missed the original premise of the site, which was not to be a mirror for wikipeida with fandom wank, and the administrative staff embraced this bloat with upteen sub-variants on every page.
They're cutting down on the stuff that "aren't tropes and just describe things"
Handsome white men with black or dark hair is literally the Tall Dark and Handsome cliche though, then they muddled up their page for it by including black and other non-white men
I mean handsome tall white men with dark/black hair, the Superman, Batman, James Bond etc mold
In antiquity blonde locks were always seen as a thing of beauty
>hair like the son
I think, "tall dark and handsome" came in ~20th century via hollywood promoting its' weinstein types and goombas. But yes, for sure it was never intended to describe colored men and insinuating them into that context is miscegenation propaganda.
i liked tvtropes when you were allowed to shit on bad writing there but that hurt peoples feelings and they removed all the riffing on bad writing
I'm just going to say it
Tvtropes > 1dCinemaphile
1dCinemaphile tries too hard sometimes, and it doesnt help that a lot of their in-jokes are really niche and obscure or are just variations of ASSRAPE. Theyre also kind of toothless and never go as far as to say homosexual beyond the terms "oldgay" and "newbie" and there are a few articles that are just politically correct-wank. With how popular they are with normie 40k fans in places like r/grimdank im 100% sure that a few autistic redditors have wormed their way into the site, but its constant and lengthy blackouts have kind of acted as a defence against that. Their parent board /tg/ doesnt hate them, but they dont have a high opinion of them either. I think the transforners wiki is much better at being actually funny
>toothless and never go as far as to say homosexual
ah, newfriend.
Old 1d4 did use no-no words and was better for it. It underwent a plague of reforms where all the spice was removed in favor of whedon-approved sass.
Im aware, there are many articles that havent been updated for a long time and still have the old humour and style, and the fact that 1dCinemaphile regularly goes down has made me use the archived versions a lot more and I sometimes stumble onto earlier versions of articles that lack the new edits
funny that you mention it but I discovered 1dCinemaphile because of tv tropes
too many species of crabs are naturally red
If nobody was interested the artist wouldn't exist, autist. Just because you don't like TV Tropes doesn't mean you should waste board space b***hing about it.
>this troper
Does anyone have that one Tropers Tale archive or whatever it was?
