Editing TVTropes

{{skub}}

<big>'''TVTropes.'''</big>

It's one of the Internet's leading sources of [[Skub]], so we'll try to confine ourselves to a few simple facts.

In theory, it exists to catalog the various recurring patterns in stories, characters, and general entertainment production and consumption.

It attracts a great quantity of weeaboos, neckbeards, fanboys, fangirls, fanhermaphrodites, other weirdos, and just plain losers as editors, and as a consequence it is frequently poorly written, particularly the examples sections; this obviously lends itself to argumentative sperging over the smallest and most seemingly insignificant of minutiae.

It's a great place, in theory, to go to find ideas for your next campaign - but don't overdo it, since that's ''only'' '''in theory'''. Beyond that, it's worth mentioning here only because it has had a definite influence on fandom and internet culture in general, being a product of such. AS such, it'll probably show up at your table when mentioned by [[That Guy]], either directly, or by other players using certain terms from it. It's also prone to in-jokes that occasionally leak out onto the wider Internet (sometimes known as a ''TVTropism'').

To speak of it any further is to invite [[Heresy|madness]], particularly since so much of it is so shitty.

===WARNING===

*[http://tvtropes.org You can find it here]. Do not click that link unless you are prepared to accept the consequences. To protect people from [[butthurt]], they also added a flamebait tab to hide the fact that many characters are [[Mary_Sues]]. [[Fail|It also closes your tabs if you haven't white listed their dumb ass invasive adds.]]
*[https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Main_Page The most notable fork is found here]; the fork was due to censorship issues, so it's a better source when talking about [[PROMOTIONS]]-style material. Both All the Tropes wikis are also painfully out of date and need a [[Titan]] load of work done to catch up with the inferior website. A rather obvious downside to being less popular. The staff are also a lot more helpful than those on TV Tropes and you don't need a username to edit. Also they have less ads.
