Remember, Tropes are tools, not rules.

Tropes are tools

so yeah I made this blog because of a post by @relevant-wikipedia-articles

I'd say go check em out but if you're here you probably are already familiar with them.

Anyways so this blog is gonna be mostly the same thing as relevant-wikipedia-articles except for TVTropes instead because I really enjoy the site and it's community.

BTW, just as a forewarning, tropes are made by the media, and so can be controversial.

Some tropes may discuss certain topics that may be triggering for some people, and some tropes may be born out of things such as misogyny or ableism.

For now, I will not be sourcing any tropes others may find offensive or are otherwise triggering, but if I ever do, I will trigger tag them appropriately.

However, I will NEVER use things like Stock Characters or Moral Tropes to describe Real People, because that can reduce people to stereotypes and/or create political flame wars. But if I do so anyway at any point by accident (because I'm a human and can be stupid sometimes), please send me a message and/or ask about it and tell me the post I did it in so I can delete it and learn from my mistake.

Oh, and read this:

this genuinely pisses me off

I get some people in this world are homophobic but do they really have to go this far but disrespecting their rights? OUR AMERICAN DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE STATES, FUCKING STATES, that EVERY yes EVERY SINGLE PERSON STANDING ON AMERICAN SOIL, must be treated with equality, additionally being provided with inalienable rights. This applies to trans people too. They are human, not an object to be throwing and putting labels on.

Why do the conservatives have to deny every queer thing? Like come fucking on, I get it that majority of you are respecting your religion but do you know the phrase “be yourself?” If a person isnt what they believe they are, let them modify into someone they think is them. God fucking dammit give me a break

This feels like it's straight out of a dystopian horror novel. I'm sickened by the kind of monsters that would do this when we have so much research proving that transitioning saves lives. They're planning on killing kids in the worst way possible, by torturing them until they see no other way out other than killing themselves. This is so utterly cruel. My heart goes out to any trans kid in the USA that's scared for their safety and future rn. Don't give up, we will get through this together.
