Fuck No TVTropes
This page needs some cleaning up to be presentable. Much of this page is only barely recognizable as English, and badly needs an edit pass by someone who actually speaks and writes the language. |
Fuck No TVTropes is a Tumblr blog that, as the name explained, is opposed to TV Tropes, mainly all the horrible that has been spawned from it. While the blog author, Bogleech, and Mark (who was the blog's moderator), does make some submissions of their own, it was mostly a community submission blog of things others find horrible about TV Tropes.
All The Tropes had also caught their attention and has been criticized whenever applicable as well.[1]
As of 2019, though, Fuck No TVTropes is long-abandoned; the most recent post is from March 2016. Surprisingly, it survived the kindergartenization of Tumblr in December 2018.

- Better Than New: When TV Tropes came under new ownership, they made some tweaks and design changes to improve the layout of the site. This resulted in Bogleech giving them some rare praise:

- Damned By Faint Praise: The blog author, after being asked if there's anything he likes about TV Tropes, has this to say.
I suppose a good aspect would be how they kept all the subpages on the top of the pages. That way you won’t have to go through the entire article looking for a link to their character page. |

- Did Not Do the Research: Concerning Hyperdimension Neptunia, when the author found out that the game series was just a moe anthropomorphism of game consoles having adventures. Also, due to him never trusting any game with that art style and plus, the need to look things up before replying.
- Everything's Better with Dinosaurs: An anonymous submitter asked "what does 'pro-dinosaur' mean?"
"It means that my list of priorities goes like this: 1. Dinosaurs 2. Pokémon 3. RuPaul's Drag Race 4. Shitty Fan Fiction 5. My personal appearance 6. Everything else." |
- Feminists: Both Bogleech, the creator/author, and the blog's only mod, Mark, stated that they consider themselves as such.

"I'd probably go all Tabula Rasa on it and fire everyone. I have never heard one good story about any mod on TV Tropes, period." |

- Self-Insert Fic: Bogleech's answer when an Anonymous stated that the misanthropic and moronic power fantasies of teenagers will always be with us, with the added fact that the Library of Alexandria is gone and the Canterbury Tales won't be completed.
"Think of it this way: Now that the Library of Alexandria is gone, we don't have to read Sappho's self-insert Greek Mythology shipping fan fics. |
- Unperson: Very much so. TV Tropes has permanently banned all mention of the "Fuck No TvTropes" blog after it was determined that they were being mean nasty doodoo heads and "we can't take the slightest little negativity and FAST EDDIE IS GOD", etc. Smfh.
- And simply mentioning it is grounds for a ban.
