[[TV Tropes]] [[Truth in Television|is the devil]]. It teaches our children [[Fetish Fuel|it's okay to be aroused by filth]]. It wants to make [[TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|everyone in the world fat and lazy]], [[TAll VtropesThe Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary|pollutes the English language even more than Internet speak]] and unlike those [[The Aggressive Drug Dealer|evil drug dealers]], they will actually admit they want to ruin your life![[hottip:*:<ref>No wait, [[TV Tropes Ruined Your Life (Darth Wiki)|they already did!]]</ref> Self-identity is discouraged among the members of this cult, to the point where personal pronouns and references to oneself are [[Natter|actively]] discouraged. [[We All Live in America|It's]] [[Eagle Land|anti-American]].
 
Of course none of that is true, or completely true, but that's how [[Demonization]] works. It's about twisting facts, or making them up, to make something look worse. Sometimes it can actually go as far claiming something is satanic, but usually it's more down to earth. Either way, these claims are made either without proof, or counter to actual evidence.
Line 125:
* The Dutch politician Geert Wilders has used "I'm being demonized" as a tagline for a while. Many of his opponents thought it was funny, since he's not exactly known for being entirely politically correct about everyone himself.
