Anouleth Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's nice to see a significant proportion of people even on TVTropes are like "wtf dude you're sugggesting genocide". Still, everyone in that thread is still pretty . "Why can't the UN have the same infinite wisdom that I do? Haven't they even played Civilisation IV?"

Aere Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Not that I go on TVTropes, it looks like a hellhole, but I think it may be a little unfair. I checked out the links in the OP's sig, and while I read through some of the threads/quotes, I bet if I posted the same stuff here it wouldn't be given a terrible rep. Hell, even if an opinion isn't outright wrong (is a matter of taste), some of these people are just bashing the crap out of the poster because they're from TVTropes, and whatever they say has instantly zero credibility. There are diamonds on the rough, so to say. Unless everybody at that website is a total asshole, it might be a bit unfair to generalize. Though, the offenders in the thread you posted should probably get their "opinions" checked out. At least I can see why (sane)people think so poorly of TVTropes.

Though, the offenders in the thread you posted should probably get their "opinions" checked out. At least I can see why (sane)people think so poorly of TVTropes. If people posted the same stuff here, I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of the community would call them out on their bullshit. This just isn't the case with TV Tropes, where "bad opinions don't exist" and calling people out on defending rape and/or pedophilia is considered "being a dick." I mean, when someone comes along and talks about how he's worried he's going to rape whatever 8-year olds he sees or starts spewing shit from Stormfront and the "good" Tropers don't call them out on it, I'm lumping them in with each other; when the "good" Tropers don't call them out on it, they support them by association. And as a side note, it's fun laughing at genuinely hosed up pedophiles, Neo-Nazis, and all the other headfucked people running amok there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aere Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Oh, I was under the impression that it was the more mellow opinions (I recall one of the quotes being about Charles Dickens) just being taken to the extremities. There's a difference between being naive or stupid and being downright willfully ignorant and wrong. If a person posts an incorrect idea, and then maintains it, they should get ridiculed as far as need be... those who do the ridiculing shouldn't be getting banned. So I guess that's the problem with that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as a side note, it's fun laughing at genuinely hosed up pedophiles, Neo-Nazis, and all the other headfucked people running amok there. Well, to be fair, if one person is worried that they have pedophilic urges, I don't see the problem with asking for help or guidance. A forum based on entertainment media might not be the most immediately appropriate place to air it out, and trying to justify acting on those urges with a straight face would easily be cause for alarm, but sitting on it must be painful. And if somebody came here and started trying to seriously promote Nazism, not to say this is to my credit, but I might end up not speaking out immediately beyond quietly reporting them, because it seems so absurd that I'd assume they would be banned pretty quickly. Are the tvtropes forums simply so lightly moderated that almost anything can be said without the staff objecting to it (which supposedly would also leave others free to disagree), or are these guys actually supposed to be the norm?
