Update: TVTropes Deletes All Rape Tropes

[NiPah]

...why the users are pretty much scum. It they could write articles without sperging over more squicky and uncomfortable subject material like it was their own personal fetish diary.

Fuck them. Eddie is a moron and a terrible coder, his moderators are just as bad as his pervert users. Burn the place to the ground.

...but I can just imagine how many crying pedos and closet rapists are screaming THOUGHTCRIME! and ORWELLIAN! at the loss of their precious wank indexes...

...who were bitching that their favorite lolicon anime was taken down. So any attempt to make a new community, the scum follow them thinking that they'll get their porn pages back.

More like "Freedom to act like a pervert with a massive persecution complex."

Persecution complex? Holy shit dude you're like a one man inquisition, any more fixation on the pedos of TVTropes and I'd be a little worried. I mean go you, I'm sure insulting them will help prevent them from hurting children and all that so go for it.

Glad I've never been to the site though, knowing about tropes annoy the fuck out of me anyway (they either break the immersion or give the wannabe movie buff shit to say during the film), seems like it's more a version of 4chan for movie buffs these days.

First, everyone asking why rape is coming up a lot, read the article he points out four recent event that explain the sudden reason as to why the sudden focus on rape, read the answer right in the article.

This isn't a big deal; right now TVTropes is just bowing to Google so they can have an easier time negotiating out the details of putting the pages back up, this in the long run will be a good thing I think as it'll cause TVTropes to keep an eye on questionable pages, which have gotten out of hand in a few cases, so give things a week or so and we'll be back to normal.

She was harassing 4chan

Here you go

It starts at around 10:26 and there are screenshots.

My response starts at around 0:00


You may not be familiar with how posting on 4chan works.

What is this, rape month?

As much as I hate Fast Eddie for being so incompetent, I have to love when he takes things into his own hands and shits on the creeps he un-ironically considers his users. I haven't checked Content Violations for a while, but I can just imagine how many crying pedos and closet rapists are screaming THOUGHTCRIME! and ORWELLIAN! at the loss of their precious wank indexes.

There's a big difference between letting such pages exist and advocating paedophilia/rape. It's almost as if Fast Eddie is of the mindset that anything remotely controversial must be swept under the rug and purged from view, and its existence denied.

"Cut anything that is about paedophilia"

Yeah, so with this masterful, carefully thought-out policy statement you can't have anything analysing it objectively outside the context of sexual gratification. Very ham-fisted, I think. It's making more out of it than there should be. You don't see Wikipedia deleting any and all articles about such things. Eh, screw tvtropes. Sure goes over the deep end over anything and everything.

Supposedly the pictures posted can't be found on the web.

According to who? Someone on /v/ who looked for 15 minutes?

Hmm... and the person posting was "Anonymous." Could the feminists be behind these "hacktivism" things I keep hearing about on Fox News?

I fucking loath the userbase with a passion. When I first joined there, I just hung out around the tabletop forum, which was generally quiet. But when the innocent panties debacle launched the great pedocide, I got more involved with the community trying to help clean up the site.

The vast majority of users are against changing anything, and after three months of nonstop bitching, moaning, complaining and defending their precious lolicon, I had enough and just quit. Other sane individuals were banned with more flair and pomp, calling out the pedo apologists and scum, but I just said fuck it. I didn't want to deal with that shit anymore.

To see it dredged up here on The Escapist, and to see people using the same "freedom of speech!" arguments again just makes me angry. If any of you got to interact with those shitbags the way I had to, you might understand why I feel the way I do. Seeing escapist members suddenly doing the same song and dance of whining about their rights being trampled on just depresses me. The shit followed me here.

While I'm at it, might as well say this as I've been ignoring the rape threads for the most part. Rape is a bad thing to happen, but I think society makes it out to be a dehumanising experience worse than death. Recipients of rape are often seen primarily as "victims" and not as ordinary human beings any more. I'm sure it doesn't make it an easier experience to bear if rape remains a social taboo like none other.

I speak from a similar position, but as much as I hated some people, there were many decent users too.

From the point of freedom of speech, you don't get to choose who can say what. If your problem is with peoples' rights to say what they want, maybe the internet or any place of open discussion is not for you.

There are search engines where you can give it an image and it'll find websites with it.

Supposedly

Again, according to who?

 

[Kahunaburger]

It?s about fiction all fiction regardless of what you think of it.

Incidentally, this is a big part of why TVTropes is a steaming cesspool.

 

[Kahunaburger]

So basically there is nothing that could convince you otherwise.

Well, certainly more than "I heard from some /v/irgin that this anonymous individual totes was Anita Sarkeesian!" Seriously, talk about credulous.

 

[Beautiful End]

Seriously, TVTropes are like drugs. Once you start reading them, you can't stop. Ever. God, you're doomed.

OT: *Sigh* It's not like that site encourages rape. It's just pointing out the types of rape you'll run into on TV or whatever. It's not a "How to do it yourself" guide.
Yes, rape is horrible and I hope I never have to experience that. That's established. But why go after TVTropes? Go after hentai or whatever shows or games encourage it. Sheesh.

EDIT: Great! I've lost 2 hours of my life on TVTropes! UGH!

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

It should be fairly obvious why it's an "inconsistent purge". They're only dumping pages that mention rape, but are not necessarily about it, because that's how Google's algorithms work.

Oh shut up . People where against the deletions because it betrays the point of TVT. It?s about fiction all fiction regardless of what you think of it.

The point of TvTropes is to categorize writing conventions and where they appear in fiction. In practice, the site is filled to the brim with the type of creepy fucks who see that above sentence as an excuse to gush and describe in loving detail their fetishes, favorite hentai series, imply incest where there is none, and try and justify their actions under the site's pretense of "no negativity."
