Topic on All The Tropes talk:Why Fork TV Tropes

This is a permanent link to the first version of this post. You can view later versions on the post history page.

Umbire, I will describe in three ways why we are describing TVT as such:

1. They exclude any talk about certain sites(like Encyclopedia Dramatica) because ED attacked TVT once.

2. They excluded any direct reference to the person of Christian Weston Chandler because, well, for motives which we can define as "Chandler is such a disgusting person we don't want to be reminded he exists". Incredible for a site which contains pages about criminals.

3. They excluded all pages about pornographic material.

TvTropes has defined itself as a safe space which excludes anything that personally offends the administrators. That we consider bad not because their views are bad on a personal level, but because a wiki about media must store information about media, it's a principle.

I think it should stay to make clear to new users which we not delete controversial pages because of their controversies. To make them both aware and to make them not afraid of creating trope pages about that controversial material.
