Tv tropes

How does Zig Forums feels about tv tropes?

It's ok, but can get real cringe to browse if you spend your time too long on it.

Cringe but interesting and necessary library of tropes

did that show really air on PBS kids?

It's shit.

>looking for comics with Scenery Porn
>read the entry for Cerebus
>"If Cerebus is known for anything other than soul crushing misogyny..."
And then I never went back.

I never knew it actually had a community

Ok, here's the deal:
>They have a very reductive view of media, they'll fawn and drool over labels more than the whole
>The community is awful, insufferable, and makes Zig Forums look like a chill bunch in comparison
>The site is addictive time waster that may give you some pointers as to what to check out next without any respect for your time

Interesting concept completely trashed by an awful community.

Wish they took a more professional approach to it.

>tranny friend tropes
>reddit friendly tropes

All the funny/scary/YMMV/etc and the general community shit is awful but the actual library of tropes and putting them under shows and shit is an interesting concept

Went to shit at the start of last decade. Shame too, it was really fun beforehand.

A good website,it give us exactly what you want,tropes.
I'm not part of the registered userbase so i dont care about any petty drama that happened in it and whatever they did will never come close to the ammount of cringe (or downright criminal acts) channers did. In other words,Zig Forums is the last place to hear lecture from

good for putting a name to certain things as well as checking if a variation for a joke has been done before

If you're not an active user it's great. You can find works you forgot the name of if you remember some of the stuff that hapenned in it, and find shows that share things you liked in other. Great for referencing, but awful if you try to get inside of it as an active user.

Tsundere.

It’s fine, not the best site around but it can be fun to browse sometimes and read. Does reek of “nerd pride” tho.

The character pages are nice because sometimes some guy makes a note of a character detail you missed.

ymmv made it even less interesting and more cringe. the wiki-like model was supposed to provide an easily peer-reviewed analysis of tropes, not a place to validate people's feelings about something

Who cares?

I feel sad I never got to witness troper tales.

It's fine, as long as you avoid the community and just accept that there are some really stupid and needless 'tropes' that are going to be on every page.

Ignoring the drama I’d say that while comparisons between tropes is good for cataloguing and suggestions it also contributes to an internet culture that compares things on a shallow level and calls them complete copies of something else even if those comparisons aren’t warranted. Tropes are also heavily opinionated where it’s clear that sometimes whether or not something fits a negative or positive trope is just community consensus and not really objective in a context sense.

They're one undeniable contribution is that they provide an interesting breakdown of stories (most of them, at least when not bogged down by one autist) and a useful catalog of ideas and concepts.

In a good day, it can help birth new ideas but at its worst it reduces things to a simplistic degree and backs it up with surface level analysis.

Either way, reading a trope page can sometimes be more fun than reading a work itself

I just miss Troper Tales

You're better off not reading what they say about anything.

>It's has video examples now
Great, more reasons to stay there.
On the plus side, it gives me some clips to judge whether a show is good enough to watch or not

As if it wasn't addictive enough, geez.

I read it when I finish a show/book/game I like and want to see if there's anything I missed or just find random trivia. Never used it outside of that
