That Troper (Darth Wiki)



Describe That Troper here.

Oh, you know him. Don't lie, you've always known him. He's been around long before you were ever here. He uses Red Links to trope titles that he just made up on the spot. He Kicks Dogs, doesn't pot hole correctly, Pimps his own articles and Complains About Shows You Like. He Takes It To The Forums, YKTTW Bashes, uses  and needlessly over emphasizes things FULL STOP, he shoves in inane details about himself, he repeats examples. He lurks the wiki, seeking to make your very life miserable. Nobody knows his real name, he can't be narrowed down to a single person, it's likely that he himself doesn't know of his crimes against wikis. Some say he's nobody, some say he's everybody, but we can all agree, he's  He also  repeats examples.

 * He over uses those lines at the bottom.
 * This entry is checked out until 06:66 Pacific Standard Time by That Troper.
 * The pictures he uses completely miss the point and make you cry if you stare at them!
 * He gets offended when you make an error, like saying that Elizabeth I was born in 1926, and then writes long reasons why that is wrong instead of editing it.
 * What are your sources? She absolutely WAS NOT BORN in 1926. That is Queen Elizabeth II. How can a perfectly intelligent person not know that?
 * Sometimes, he's too lazy to even try to Pot Hole, and instead links to the trope page itself!

 * He's a Straw Man.
 * He kills people with forklifts.
 * He uses his own fanon theories and alternate character interpretations when adding examples to a trope.
 * Comes up with ridiculously obscure alternate names taken from shows he doesn't like for tropes he deems negative, so he can call said show the Trope Namer.
 * Sometimes when he's feeling particularly Genre Smart, while he's Complaining About A Show He Doesnt Like (or a fandom, or a character in the show, or what have you), he'll be sure to add Your Mileage Could Vary just so he can get away with putting his negative opinions as a bullet point to every trope example and act like a large number of people share his opinion, whether they actually do or not.
 * And now with the YMCV tabs in place on a lot of pages, he's able to hi-jack the whole Your Mileage Could Vary page with his opinion and go unchallenged. He'd do this more often if he wasn't too lazy to use the YMCV tabs most of the time.
 * He also uses the recent site crackdown on subjective tropes being on the main page as an excuse to delete anything subjective on a page that he disagrees with, leaving the subjective tropes he does agree with, and never bothering to create a YMCV page for what he deletes.
 * He cannot resist adding inane bullets to spout his own opinion, full of Phrase Cruft and Blatant Passive Aggressiveness.
 * To Be Fair, sometimes they're Really Rather Clever.

 * He doesen't know what's notable or not, and potholes Star War links as "this movie."

 * He modifies pages so that their grammatical syntax is lost, and does not explain why the changes are necessary.
 * He makes snide comments in the 'edit reason' box that are less about explaining why he felt the change was necessary and more about smugly asserting that he's so much cleverer than the person who made the original edit.
 * He lies about things he's done In the Troper Tales section, and expects other people to be impressed.
 * That is, when he actually uses Troper Tales and doesn't just say it on the main page.
 * He writes personal opinions in the examples page and tries to get away with it by preceding it with "Most fans agree..."
 * He quotes the Nostalgia Criticizer as a bullet point to every single trope example of a work reviewed by him.
 * Then he writes a review on a work within hours of it being reviewed by the Nostalgic Criticizer, basically saying the exact same thing Nostalgic Criticizer said because he's never actually seen the work in question before.
 * He was greatly saddened upon finding out he couldn't use the strike-through markup to strike through things instead of editing or deleting them on the main wiki anymore.
 * He doesn't realize he was the main reason they were disabled, because he always used them to be snarky.
 * Some are beginning to suspect that he may in fact be an Omnicidal Eldritch Abomination who is using this wiki as his tool to turn all of us into the wetware energy particles he needs to fuel his multi-versal Apocalypse Rod.

 * He complains about your favorite show by making harsh generalizations that you know to be false or greatly exaggerated.
 * That Troper censors out entries he doesn't like on It Just Bugs Me Okay, YMMV, and Untamed Mass Guessing pages, and because That Troper knows better than anyone what should go on a subjective page, That Troper does so without giving a reason. Certainly That Troper is under no obligation to edit said entry for better relevance and accuracy, or to move a trope from the main article to the appropriate page.
 * He inserts the obligatory semi-related Buffy That Vampire Slayer and Avatar That Last Airbender reference, because heaven knows they're not mentioned on enough pages in this wiki.
 * ...right after he goes to every work on the Wild Mass Conjectures page and states that "(Character X) is a Time Lord."
 * ...and he jaywalks.
 * He chews gum with his mouth open.
 * H3 r4nd0m1y ins3r75 num63r5 wh3r3 13773r5 5h0u1d 63
 * He calls people chuweros, despite clearly not having Ch Word Privileges.
 * He claims how his favourite show is so good that it Kill The Genre until his another favourite show revive it.
 * He is thoroughly convinced that all fan fiction is canon. And he'll throw a fit if canon starts to contradict his favorite fan fictions.
 * That Troper inserts spoiler tags in what might be  references only understood by   viewers, in order to really paste red flags over the phrases and names to look out for. After Example Pimping enough variations into the broadest range of articles, any reader will get more clues that the show would've revealed.
 * That Troper has 6 fingers on his left hand.

 * sometimes he doesnt capitalize anything at all or even bother to use punctuation
 * Or He Capitalizes Every Word As If It's Just A Really Long Title And When He Gets Called Out On It Says "You're Trampling On My Freedom Of Expression!!!" (Yeah, Well, You're Trampling On My Eyes)
 * He never resists inserting the notorious meme The Candle Jack Man, and always leaves his sentences hanging like thi because he finds long dead memes hilarious.
 * He can't think for himself so he always quotes Too Much Punctuation, MST 40 K, and Riff Roll in whatever he's talking about so people will find his edits witty.
 * He needlessly shoehorns the current page he's Pimping The Entries for onto every article that could possibly have anything to do with it, almost as if he's playing the "Six Degrees Of Separation Between Anyone And Kevin Bacon" game, just with whatever he's obsessed with in place of Kevin Bacon. And of course he's under the belief that if he's obsessed with something, everybody else is too.
 * He lists Everything As A Subversion because his favorite show couldn't possibly play something straight. Or possibly because Subversions Are Just Cooler.
 * And his favorite shows never simply avert a trope. They avert them HARD.
 * He writes the same thing under both Movie and Western Cartoons.
 * He HyperlinkPotHoles in Understatements everywhere, even when the phrase isn't actually an understatement.

 * He thinks even the least remotely sexy things in the world are High Unleaded Fetish Fuel, and will share his fantasies with everyone.
 * That Troper. Just... That Troper.
 * He lists YMMV as a trope in work pages, or concludes every example with "but of course, Your Mileage May Differ".
 * As usual, your mileage may vary.
 * He thinks his favorite shows are God's gift to humanity and are a cure for cancer, and deserve to be shoehorned onto every page in the wiki. He thinks your favorite shows are the worst shows ever to appear on television and you're a horrible person for liking them.
 * At every opportunity imaginable, That Troper complains about everything, which he doesn't like.
 * He adds Take That Redirects to articles of series or tropes he doesn't like.

 * He wants Troper Tales back.
 * He Might Be Autistic.
 * He tries to sneak in Real Life examples in articles that explicitly say Do Not Add Real Life Examples, or tries to add them in Troper Tales (which is probably why he wants it back).
 * Many articles are in the Forever A Red Link Club because of him.
 * He Ruined Those Pages on purpose.
 * That Troper!

 * He Always Posts Absurdly Long Links That Dont Lead Anywhere Because Theyre All Red Links And That Really Screws Up The Server Seriously Whats His Deal Huh?
