As somebody who used to frequent site's community and occasionaly take a gander at their reviews, I've come to the conclusion that tvtropers are some of the dumbest, autistic, genre-blind neckbeards who lack any kind of self awareness despite using the site to describe and understand storytelling devices. The reviews you mentioned barely scratch the surface of idiotic reviews on the sites. It's definitely not a loud minority, I can assure you that.<br /><br />The fact that you managed to piss some them off with this article (judging from a few of the butthurt, anonymous posts in the comments above) just shows what bunch of insecure, out of touch little neckbeards they really are :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028801673903619514.post-33822148303276101312016-01-05T02:19:04.541-08:002016-01-05T02:19:04.541-08:00So good.

Andrei Tarkovsky), complaining about the length of shots ("leave the camera running", another trope on tvtropes) and showing things that "distracted from the plot".<br /><br />Very few times in my life have I ever read something that so thoroughly missed the point of a work of art.

It's true it may not be literary genius per se, but for fans of the genre and it's incredibly vast Expanded Universe it can be quite entertaining; the vastness of the setting allows innumerable scenarios to work and be believable to the reader. <br /><br />As for the TV Trope nerds, unfortunately, despite what some may believe, men like waging war. And if they cannot do it on a physical battlefield, they will do it on a digital medium. Like those morons that ululate like baboons when they play Call of Duty online, and like the geeks on TV Tropes.<br /><br />I enjoyed your article by the way.<br /><br />Good job.Chris B Cynicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16576903787357142172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028801673903619514.post-23691414232056548022014-09-11T08:24:13.562-07:002014-09-11T08:24:13.562-07:00All the butthurt tropers in the comments only make...All the butthurt tropers in the comments only make this article more beautiful.

But hey, at least there's 21 pages and 8,000 words about the best fanfiction involving Harry Potter characters boning each other."<br /><br />I find your review here biased against TV Tropes by cherry-picking the worst examples of the website - but alright, it's your opinion, it doesn't affect me. But please, at least get your facts straight. TV Tropes has had a policy against unnecessarily NSFW content on the pages, including Fanfic Recs - shipping doesn't automatically mean sex, it means general relationship fanfiction, no sex need be involved.<br /><br />And if you're going to make a case against TV Tropes, stick to the area you've set yourself to review. This one example was a quick jab at TV Tropes for the sake of it - It comes out of nowhere in the context of your review, it's just "They don't have a review of this work I like, but they have a page of erotic fanfiction, what a crock of shit". You wanted to review the mindnumbingly retarded Reviews section, so you should have stuck to it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023508085001632386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028801673903619514.post-15546647349730752652013-06-12T09:03:10.862-07:002013-06-12T09:03:10.862-07:00Please understand that these people only make up a...Please understand that these people only make up a small percentage of tropers.

Guess what, some people sincerely like Shakespeare, and sincerely enjoy analyzing literature. You complain about others presenting their opinions as objective fact, and then do just the same thing. <br /><br />That's all your argument boils down to, utter incomprehension of the idea that people (gasp!) enjoy different things.

Because last time I checked people read books because they were entertaining. Most people don't read poems anymore, because they find them boring. The same happens with works from hundreds of years ago: people read Macbeth and all those things because their literature teachers forced them to read it, not because they heard about it and found it appealing. But I guess that is something that doesn't enter in your skull, does it?<br /><br />You're so full of yourself you don't notice that literature isn't supposed to be about the author, but about the reader. If readers don't like it then that work is useless. There was once when people liked watching Macbeth in the theater (and I mean watching it, not analyzing it). But that time is gone. Just because something is/was famous doesn't mean it's good. Deal with it.<br /><br />I don't know if this will get published, because I guess more people told you the same and their comments aren't here, I suppose you're a chicken and you don't like someone telling you the truth to the face.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028801673903619514.post-62159670710343417402011-08-20T08:30:55.150-07:002011-08-20T08:30:55.150-07:00Oh.
