Fuck No TVTropes

Revision as of 00:29, 30 April 2019 by Looney Toons (talk | contribs) (adjusted cleanup template text to reflect deletion of misused tropes)


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.

TV Tropes is allegedly a site where people look at the common tropes found in the media. What TV Tropes does not do is actually analyze anything and it has mostly become a toxic community of constant fanboy wanking.

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.

Fuck No TVTropes provides examples of the following tropes:

"I was so much of a weeaboo back in high school that my parents sent me to a camp run by Marcus Bachmann to make me normal. Now I'm more casual."

"Congrats, new mods. You're much more competent at website layout than the old mods."

RIP.

"I am...disgusted."

"Five seconds, I've been on the page for five seconds. And do you know what I see? Without even having to scroll down?THE ABYSS. THE ABYSS IS STARING AT ME."

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.

  • Deadpan Snarker: Many of the conversations and responses that were made by the author (bogleech), Mark, and the submitters are very deadpan snarky, as evidence by these links here.
    • The most prime example in the blog was his answer of how he became a "casual anime fan."
  • Deviantart Gazes Back: Clusterkind kindly asked bogleech to make a cousin to "Fuck No TV Tropes" about DeviantArt's darkness. Bogleech, the author, refused, even stating that he'll die after three posts and that many have tried.

"...If you stare into the abyss of DeviantART, it stares back."

"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."

"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."

"Viva la revolución."

MOD Note: Shimaspawn's doing God's work right now.

"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.
  1. And when the criticism was valid and not just "tropers are icky", we have addressed matters.
