I love learning stuff from TV Tropes - but yeah, the forum community depresses me, overall with their bias and hate-filled BS, whether it be reviews or comments in general.
I frequent the site a lot, but now I only do it to read tropes. I used to post there a lot, but when I realized my opinions didn't feel welcome there, I began doing so less and less. Now, I don't post there all that much.
Oh, and don't get me started on all of the western animation and/or anime sperging..... It's just saddening for me that I can't like anything without some fucker telling me that it's cliche or stupid, or some other shit that nothing can ever, nor will ever, be able to outrun or avoid, deep down. It saddens me that these fools can't understand that and seem to complain about everything without knowing the truth about how things work sometimes, and that they also suck sometimes, too.
