* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: The blog frequently lampoons the lengths some users go to in order to justify adding certain examples, as well as other examples of tropes being seriously out of touch with reality. Highlights include [https://fucknotvtropes.tumblr.com/post/128415692786/just-when-i-think-ive-found-the-last-of-tv-tropes a theory that claimed] the "obvious" existence of [[Twincest]] [[Incest Subtext|Subtext]] between Violet and Klaus from ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events]]''.

* [[Kill It with Fire]]: [http://fucknotvtropes.tumblr.com/post/138352497236/so-apparently-edwin-epps-raping-his-slave-patsey The author's reaction to TV Tropes categorizing] Edwin Epps raping his slave Patsey in ''[[Twelve Years a Slave]]'' as "[[Villainous Crush]]", instead of [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil]].

* [[Nostalgia Filter]]: WhenAnother askedcommon criticism of example placement, and cited in particular in response to someone asking who would be insane enough to putplace ''[[Duke Nukem]]'' inon the [[Fair for Its Day]] examples,page.<!--Should Bogleechgrab answereda itslink tropers whofor arethis blinded by the nostalgia filter.too-->
* [[Orphaned Series]]: The blog washas been inactive since the last ask answered in March 2016. In March of 2019, [https://fucknotvtropes.tumblr.com/post/183144173441/update Mark posted a final update] that clarified why he'd abandoned the blog: as much fun as he'd had taking the site down a peg, he eventually realized that, in his opinion, he was holding the site up to a standard it could never truly meet, and had more productive things to invest his time in.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: In spite of criticizing it as well, the blog has recommended All The Tropes as an alternative to the site multiple times. The FAQ also states not to vandalize TVTropes pages, instead giving tips on how to actually improve the site and provide actual analysis.
** The author acknowledges when TVT realizes that [http://fucknotvtropes.tumblr.com/post/126764370923/ill-be-fair-at-least-tv-tropes-realizes-they underage characters were ending up in the "Memetic Sex God" and that they have to do huge cleanups].

** Bogleech reminds those that have issues with TV Tropes to just leave criticism at Fighteer's [[YouTube]] videos, not '''death threats'''. [https://fucknotvtropes.tumblr.com/post/76300982742/fighteer Also, '''Staystay away from his son'''].
